Responding to [Death Row's entire catalog being pulled from streaming platforms]() amid Snoop's push to bring the storied record company "[to the metaverse]()" and make it into what the Long Beach rapper calls an "NFT label," fans took to Twitter to express their dismay. "Since DoggySyle is taken off Spotify it be looking like I need to use my cd’s again," [one user wrote](). https://twitter.com/Watson3172/status/1503417812802584582 ## Dogg Days This is the second time Snoop has faced backlash in as many months after reports surfaced just before his Super Bowl halftime performance about a [sexual battery lawsuit]() brought by a Jane Doe who describes herself as a former dancer — [allegations the rapper denied](), calling them a "shakedown" through a spokesperson and later [asking the courts to dismiss the "implausible" suit](). The tenor of this fan response is, of course, quite different. "So, thanks to Snoop Dogg promoting NFT shit and making Death Row Records an NFT record label, all the releases except 2Pac's, will be removed from Spotify and so on," [one irked fan wrote](). "This is actually bullshit, that means no more Dre's Chronic on Spotify. NFTs need to die, fucking stupid movement." "WTF Snoop?" [wrote another](). "Nobody cares that you’re trying to make Death Row an NFT record label." They're big mad, y'all. Here are some of the funniest responses below. ## Cool Cool Cool https://twitter.com/ChefSeffW/status/1503379524716834818?

I'm a committed generalist, but I often find myself returning to work involving NASA and the private space sector, the effects of AI on media and society, and the mechanics of the pharmaceutical industry, with a specific focus on the spread of GLP-1 drugs like Ozempic and Wegovy. Prior to Futurism, I worked for publications ranging from Media Matters and Truthdig to Raw Story and Bustle. I'm also the author of "Myspace Scene Queens," a 2024 title in Instar Books' acclaimed "Remember the Internet" series. My work at Futurism has been cited by outlets including the New Yorker, Slate, Nieman Lab, the Verge, the MIT Technology Review, the Sunday Times, and the Daily Beast. I grew up in North Carolina, attended the University of North Carolina at Asheville, and now live in Brooklyn, New York. In my free time, I'm an avid reader and music fan; you can probably find me at a local poetry reading, concert, underground rave, or DJ set. I'm the proud parent of an ineffable orange cat named Mee-Mow. ### Author social links [Bluesky]()
