Dr. Dre says he was upset that Snoop Dogg bought Death Row Records

After being on Death Row Records at the start of his career, Snoop Dogg bought the label from MNRK Music Group in 2022.

Dr. Dre, who was also signed to Death Row before leaving and starting Aftermath Entertainment, spoke about the purchase at ComplexCon over the weekend with Drink Champs. The legendary producer said he was against Snoop buying the label at first but since had a change of heart. Dre also said he's super proud of the veteran rapper.

"Let me tell you something, man. I was so upset when I heard that Snoop was doing the Death Row s--t at the beginning. Like, ‘N----a, that s--t has so much bulls--t following it,'" Dre told the hosts. "But now, I’m so happy about it and so impressed at what my brother’s doing because he’s taken the thing that we created and brought it back to life. I see his vision now. I appreciate it, and I’m proud of it."

Snoop then responded to Dre's words and admitted that he was touched, saying "That made me feel good. Thank y’all. Y’all tryna make a n---a cry."

The rapper and beatmaker are getting ready to release their new album Missionary on December 13, and they previewed a few songs during the interview. Then later, Snoop posted that part of their visit on Instagram, and many praised the songs.

"Rap game’s OGs about to remind us what greatness sounds like!" someone wrote in the comments. "How these two still got it 30 years after is [fire]," wrote someone else using a bunch of fire emojis. Meanwhile, actor and comedian Affion Crockett said he already heard the album and wrote, "it’s phenomenal. Trust 🔥me."

Undoubtedly, the release of Missionary will cap off an incredible year for Snoop, who co-hosted the Paris Olympics, joined NBC's "The Voice," and became a T-Mobile spokesperson.
