Reggie Wright: Sadly, This Is Why Suge Couldn't Have Snoop Dogg Run Death Row In The 1990's!

Um, okay. So, I want to uh get into

um Snoop recently did an interview with

Big Boy and Big Boy asked him, "When you

were on death row, did you ever fear for

your life?" And Snoop said, "Nope." He

said, "When I was off death row, I

feared for my life because there were

death threats. There were people coming

to get at me." Um cuz they cuz death row

they were bitter. They lost their

biggest star, Dre. They lost their

second biggest star, Tupac. And then

they lost their current biggest star who

helped make the label in Snoop. Um, I

know you talk about selling the rights

and all that stuff and people that would

hear the disses and all that stuff after

he left, they may believe, oh, you know,

what Snoop's saying has validity. What

would you say to um to a as what would

you explain why there was so much

animosity with Snoop after um you guys

um you know sold his rights to Priority

and No Limit?

>> Well, I'll use the word assign.

I'll use the word assigned his rights.

Um

well, Snoop kept dissing y'all. Snoop

sued Sheretha.

He he took her to a court for uh or to

the to the labor board. He owed her a

bunch of money.

Still owe her money. Well, they were

dealing with each other cuz she had put

in a demand for some money for that she

owed him for managing. But that was his

way to get out of his contract. So, I

understood that.

But Snoop uh

several disc songs out there. Y'all

didn't catch it. Uh, big old whale

sending sale, telling tales. Only reason

you ain't got because I ain't sent the

word and all of that.

But the only time that we, you know, of

course we put his address up in the DVD,

gave y'all directions how to get to his

house and all of that. We did that. But

the problems who he had problems with

was his own homeboy, Trey D, right? Trey

D. And then was the ones on his head.

Trey D was the one that was firing shots

at this house. Not not no death row

guys. Tra wasn't with Delro at the time.

But so I find I find it funny for him to

say that. The one time that we went to

talk to him at the Universal AM, we were

going to talk to Snoop. We were going to

say, "Do why you tripping? Why you Why

you keep dissing? Why you, you know,

keep doing this?" He the one that

thought he had those no limit soldiers

with him and and thought they were going

to ride against death row in in LA.

He the one that thought that which he

quickly found out. [ __ ]

And he went running like a little dog

that got hit by a car to the police. Him

and his [ __ ] friend cousin Daz. They

got guns. They got guns. Yeah. Okay.

But um other than that,

he didn't do anything to uh to Snoop

that I remember. He was the one writing

the letters and up there asking, you

know, she the the the stop and all of

that out afterwards.

But

they had no issues with Snoop other than

he was doing sleek slick disc songs.

Y'all hear him talking about he was

gonna do a a [ __ ] uh death row song with

Mac 10 or something like that. I think

they said they recorded it. They just

didn't put it on or something.

And so uh yeah, that's where his his

mind frame was then. Uh and that was

just because we were trying to find

distribution for his album after Dog F

Dog Father. Nobody really wanted to mess

with him. Well, that ain't true cuz Def

Jam was trying. He was mad because uh we

couldn't work that deal out with Def Jam

and stuff like that. So, but Snoop did

what he was supposed to do as far as

going making the money and you know

tricking people like I can do it. I can

do it without death row and as they got

those cease and desist letters and we're

finding out he just worked them. But um

uh yeah he was a so we could have made

it right. Only thing Suge and I wish I

was smart enough to say Suge. No man,

let Snoop be in charge. Let him be the

face of this [ __ ] like he later did with

Corrupt by, you know, giving him a

title. He made Suge made dropped the

ball on that. He should have. But y'all

got to understand what Suge knew. Suge

knew Snoop as this we smoking mild

manner

easy to push up. No, Long Beach [ __ ]

was pushing up on him like, "Oh, y'all

wouldn't believe how they had him." So,

how you going to have a [ __ ] like that

running your [ __ ]

Where you would there would wet your

panties? Him, DJ Poo, everybody that was

hanging around. I had to put security on

all them [ __ ] when they homeboy was

checking down.

So, who you going to put in charge? The

[ __ ] that I had to send to send guys to

protect them when [ __ ] went crazy. I had

a sense of security to protect Snoop

when his homeboys was checking on him.

DJ Pool, everybody them [ __ ] was

messing with.

Yeah. Yeah, Reggie, it's an interesting

point because somebody some would have

to wonder if Snoop was uh given that

role back in the day at Death Row had

things continued to uh you know do well

for them or if they would have you know

just gotten the same fate. But um in the

interview also he followed up and said

that the way he got around the death

threats and all that stuff and the way

he felt protected was that he went to

minister Farerrakhan and got him to put

the fruit of Islam around him. Did you

did you ever hear about that? Did you

ever see him with like kind of the

Muslim security uh security guards?

>> Yeah. Well, that's true. He did do that

on the Midnight Love uh uh video shoot.

uh Shahid and then was there uh with

him, but my two security guards, Marcus

and Ker stayed with him. They stayed

with him all the way until Kendall got

shot with him in like 2003 or 2004 when

Kendall got shot, you know, after they

had left. But um he went to Farrakhan

and the minister and and Shahed, rest in

peace Shahid,

uh because that was his way to for

breaking away and getting away from

death after we saw panel. Uh and um and

so that's what was his get down on that.

Maybe he had a plan already in his mind

of trying to break away, but it was

mainly because after Biggie got killed

and you know SH was disappointed with

him and saying, "Hey man, how you going

on on TV with Puffy talking about

uh it's okay you you know you safe out

here uh Big E Coast and all of that." I

squash the beef. Sh whole thing was

[ __ ] you tell that [ __ ] how can he

stop a beef he didn't start he he ain't

got no part of that [ __ ] don't call

shots out there like that so that's why

he went to minister Farrakcon once he

seen Su position after that but that

that that that had SH furious thinking

Snoop now because he's away bigger than

what he what he really was

and so uh that's the truth But yeah, he

did go and um and um and and Farrakhan

Farrakhan son and and Shah was with us

when all of that happened. We were still

all cool. Who you think brought near

Milton Grimes and all of that doing SH

probation violation and all of that?

That was Shah uh his good friend who was

Farrakhan's son who was running

everything. And so they were they were

with us. That's when all that Damon

Thomas boy [ __ ] happened.

But I do got to go back to the first and

original statement that I should have

addressed at first.

>> Dre the biggest artist.

Dre the biggest. Oh my god. He really

kissing Dre ass right now. I could have

seen him said him,

but Dre the biggest art.

Okay. Uh now we all know that Snoop s

that Tupac surpassed both of them and

was the world's biggest artist. Still

two today.

still to today has generated more money

than everybody put together.
