The "Doggfather" MC revealed that he felt powerless upon his move to No Limit.
"I didn't feel like Snoop Dogg at the time," he said. "My spirit wasn't that. Them n-ggas [Death Row Records] broke my spirit man. That's what you have to understand. They broke me. 'Doggy Style,' working on 'Doggfather,' then I won my murder case, Dre leaves, 2Pac gets killed, Suge goes to jail and Death Row wants to kill me. All in the same year!"
Snoop also explained that he wrote "Murder Was The Case" before he actually caught his murder case. "People thought that I caught the case, then wrote the song. That's stupid," he said. "In my era, we wrote about life, or we wrote about death. I was writing about death and that's because I was listening to 'Alive On Arrival' by Ice Cube."
