Death Row Records has been controversial since its creation in the 90s.
It featured Tupac Shakur, Dr.
Dre, Snoop Dogg, and more.
Executive Suge Knight helped give the label its raw image of the West Coast hip-hop scene, but he also eventually hindered its ability to operate in a legal space.
Due to the exit of its stars and multiple criminal charges, Knight lost control of Death Row, and eventually, after being owned by Mnrk Music Group, Snoop Dogg acquired the label for himself with plans to revive Death Row under the name of its rightful heir.
With control over some of the Death Row music backlog, according to Variety, Snoop has some major plans for the label, including the launch of Death Row Pictures with his new movie The Underdoggs.
