(Danny Boy)
After Pac died,
Death Row
changed drastically.
More than you can imagine.
(Kurupt)
Dr. Dre left first, Pac died.
You know,
all of those things
what kept us at number one.
The music changed,
the direction changed.
So Snoop had
to take the reins
and he had to take on
the challenge
of holding Death Row on his back
and keep going forward.
(Darryl "Joe Cool" Daniel)
I seen my cousin Snoop, man.
He was like,
God, he was sad, man.
You know, you could
hear in his voice
that, you know,
"I don't wanna be here."
Nobody wanted to be there.
I mean, we all
felt like that, you know?
Because we were Death Row,
and that's the life
we was living.
We felt like we was untouchable
until that fatal--
until that fatal day.
(Dr. Dre)
Getting out of Death Row,
I mean, I always think
like, "Oh...
I could have very easily have
been in that car in Las Vegas."
You know what I'm saying?
So, fortunately for me,
I left at the time that I did.
(Carter Harris)
That time that Snoop and Dre
were saying that this beef
was out of control
and that they
wanted to squash it.
I will be working
with a lot of the artists
from the East Coast,
a lot of the artists
from West Coast.
(newscaster)
Dre's latest release
is far from squeaky clean,
but it does attempt to soothe
rap's raging hardcore rivalries.
The East Coast/West Coast thing,
I ain't got a problem
with nobody.
To me, they better kill it
right now,
because if it
keeps going on,
nobody from the East Coast
is gonna be able
to come to L.A. and be safe,
and nobody from the West Coast
is gonna be able
to come to the East Coast
and be safe.
I'm Snoop Dogg, I never had any
beef with anybody from the East.
I'm here to make good music.
That's what I signed my contract
at Death Row Records for,
to make good music and perform
and put out good albums.
I didn't sign a contract
to hurt nobody
or make people hate me
or hate people.
It was just to make good music.
(Darryl "Joe Cool" Daniel)
Had he joined in on that shit
Pac was preaching, that hatred
toward the East Coast,
he might not be here.
(Snoop)
I've been there, I've done that.
So I'm gonna go this route,
you know what I'm saying?
Thanks, Dre.
(Ben Westhoff)
This did not sit well with Suge
because Snoop would not
take his side in this beef.
Snoop tried
to stay neutral,
and Suge demanded loyalty.
(Ben Westhoff)
Snoop was growing wary
of Suge Knight in this time.
There were rumors that Suge
had something to do
with Tupac's death.
Snoop believed this
and started taking precautions
for himself.
