Is TDE The New Death Row? Check Out What Snoop Dogg Had To Say!



It was earlier this year when CEO of Top Dawg Entertainment Anthony "Top Dawg" Tiffith said TDE is like Death Row Records. In an interview with VIBE, hip hop artist Snoop Lion aka Snoop Dogg disagreed with TD.

"No they are not the new Death Row. Because TDE do it completely differently than Death Row did it. Death Row did it with a gangsta approach. We was smashing on n****s, f****n people up, we was determined to be the hardest, meanest, baddest, coldest, roughest, toughest in the game. That was our mission," Snoop explained.

He went on to say TDE are peaceful, they love and they get down. He said they are rappers from everywhere who represent hip hop. 

"They don't represent negativity and violence, and trying to mash and disrespect. Death Row, we came out disrespectful. Easy-E and anybody that came out with Dr. Dre. That was our first get down, was f**k them n****s up first. That's not TDE mentality. Their mentality is cool with everybody," Snoop added.

Well, there you have it! According to Snoop, TDE which consists of Kendrick Lamar, Ab-Soul, Schoolboy Q and Jay Rock, are not in comparison to the artists of Death Row Records.

In regards to Kendrick Lamar's verse on Big Sean's "Control" Snoop gave Lamar credit calling it a Death Row influence. 

"Kendrick Lamar flipped out on everybody, that's that Death Row's influence, that may have cause him to back slide and feel a certain way, which I support flly, and his thoughts on what he said, because I'm from the West Coast, f**k everybody that got a problem with it," Snoop said.

At least Snoop was honest about the kind of music he and other Death Row artists put out during the 90's era. That's where gangsta rap started which is also when society began to form into a war zone!
