The Hip Hop community was pleased to learn Snoop Dogg acquired Death Row Records earlier this month. As one of the label's original and most-recognized acts, it was a full-circle moment that was met with congratulatory praise. However, a new report claims the acquisition is not without its limitations.
Snoop's Death Row deal reportedly will not include albums by arguably the biggest stars from the label. According to Billboard, 2Pac is no longer an official Death Row artist so All Eyez On Me and The Don Killuminati: 7 Day Theory are not a part of the deal. In addition, Dr. Dre's The Chronic is not included but that album is expected to return to the Death Row catalog next year.
Death Row's catalog currently remains under MNRK Music and Blackstone's ownership. The deal for Death Row's music is still being negotiated. Most recently, Snoop Dogg released his new album, B.O.D.R. (Back on Death Row), on Feb. 11.
