havent seen a more well known outlet report it yet but it checks out so far. checked spotify and apple music and some albums are definitely missing

Applause for Snoop Dogg's acquisition of the iconic rap music label Death Row Records has seemingly been drowned out by boos from music lovers who discovered the disappearance of some of the label's most popular projects. The West Coast emcee is now being accused of ordering the removal for what are feared to be the company's shift toward an NFT approach.

Fans of artists from the legendary firm, whose roster included Snoop, Dr. Dre, Tupac Shakur, and more were furious when they could no longer find albums like Snoop's debut album "Doggystyle" or Dre's solo debut effort "The Chronic" on streaming platforms such as Apple Music and Spotify.

The news comes less than one week after the 50-year-old announced on the popular group discussion app Clubhouse that "Death Row will be a NFT label." He added, "We will be putting out artists through the metaverse. Just like we broke the industry when we was the first independent to be major, I want to be the first major in the metaverse."

What

 

[King Alamat]

I'm pretty sure the update for GTA: Online with Dr. Dre made fun of this concept three months ago.

Is anyone going to explain to these celebrities that putting your music/art/whatever in NFTs inherently implies you have to make it publicly available, thus making it even easier for people to "not" pay you for your music/art if they don't want to?

Ironically the only people talking about NTFs at the moment are the haters.
If they'd stop talking about it my Era and Twitter timelines would be NFT free.

A fool and his money

 

[Joeyjoejoeshabadoo]

Right click save it is then.

 

[Pand]

Nuthin' but an NFT thang, baby.

Good thing I have all those albums ripped, but they'll be back on streaming when the money fails to roll in anyway.

 

[Lifejumper]

Oh my gaaaaawwd can't find gin and juice on apple music anymore.
