Snoop Dogg has announced plans to launch a new streaming service just for music released by the Death Row record label, which he took full control of earlier this year. This follows the removal of the label’s music from other streaming services once that deal was completed.Speaking on the latest episode of the ‘Drink Champs’ podcast, the rapper says: “First thing I did was snatch all the music off those platforms traditionally known to people, because those platforms don’t pay.
Those platforms get millions of millions of streams, and nobody gets paid other than the record labels”.Of course, thanks to his Death Row deal, Snoop is now the record label as well as the artist, but he’s still not too pleased with how more conventional streaming services work and how little he earns.He continues: “So what I wanted to do is snatch my music off, create a platform which is something similar to Amazon, Netflix, Hulu. It’ll be a Death Row app, and the music, in the meantime, will live in the metaverse”.“Nobody in here can tell you what a stream adds up to”, he says, returning to dissing the Spotifys of this world.
“It’s a fraction of a penny. So you can get a hundred million streams and you don’t make a million dollars.
So, what the fuck is that? But, you want me to keep giving you my music but somebody making the money and it ain’t me. And I can’t afford to keep doing that”.“I wanna create an avenue”, he adds, “where I can show people how to not always go through the slave trade but create our own trade where we [are] engaging with our own fans that’s buying our music, that’s making money off of the music, and then’s making us money off of the music by it being traded and sold”.If you’re a bit confused by all that, well, you
