Currently, Snoop Dogg is one of the richest and most popular rappers in the world. The 17th time’s Grammy Awards nominee has still been waiting to finally take the Award home. On Wednesday, in Full Send Podcast, Snoop Dogg declared that he is inspired by Taylor Swift. So how did Taylor inspire Snoop?
Damn! Is Dogg Really Remastering Doggystyle?
Snoop declares that he is going to remaster his debut album Doggystyle. He credited Taylor Swift for inspiring him to make it possible. If you’re wondering how did she inspire him then you need to know what he actually said about it.

“Perfect example, Taylor Swift. She re-did her albums as a way of ‘I’ll make this for my fans and they’ll support me.’ I was going to remaster my album…” pic.twitter.com/Tk9azpSHMA

“She ain’t an old artist at all. She’s quite new. What did she do? She remastered her album,” he said. “Why? Because she wasn’t making revenues off that album. Why did she redo her album? Because she couldn’t get finances, so she redid her album as a way of, ‘I’ll make this for my fans, and they’ll support me, because those are my vocals, and this is my music. I should be making money off of my project when you buy it,” Snoop added.
He recalled a conversation with his son during the podcast that his debut album is impossible to remaster as it was one of its kind.
“I was going to remaster my album. My son had told me years ago, he was like, ‘You should just remaster Doggystyle, pops, f— all that. Just remaster it, you ain’t gotta worry about all that,’” Snoop recounted. “But I didn’t wanna go [with] that approach, because you can’t remaster Doggystyle like you can remaster them R&B songs. That s— was a feeling, that s— was a moment.”
“You can’t recapture that with trying to reenact that s— all over again, so I had to go get my s— back, but some artists do make better sense for them to just say, ‘F— it, I’m going to remaster my s—.’ Cause after seven years, in case you artists don’t know, there’s a seven-year clause where you can remaster your album and get the ownership back,” he continued.
Snoop Buys Death Row Records
Snoop announces that he has bought Death row Records. It is the same record through which he released Doggy style. Soon after his purchase, he removed all Death row releases from digital streaming platforms.

He has planned to launch a new streaming service through which the label’s music can be purchased as NFT per Billboard.
“First thing I did was snatch all the music off those platforms traditionally known to people, because those platforms don’t pay,” Snoop recently told the Drink Champs podcast. “And those platforms get millions and millions and millions of steams and nobody gets paid other than the record labels. So what I wanted to do was snatch my music off, and create a platform that is something sort of similar to Amazon, Netflix, and Hulu. It’ll be a Death Row app. And then the music, in the meantime, will live in the metaverse.”
