Daz Dillinger was with rapper Kurupt in the duo Tha Dogg Pound, and he is also Snoop’s cousin, so he has some stories to share that go way back.
In the long conversation with Royce da 5’9”, Joe Budden, Noreaga and others, Daz revealed that Snoop had been uneasy with Eminem for a long time and it is all about being rejected as a creative partner.
Daz gave his account on that incident:
Back in the days, they did that [“Bitch Please”] song with Nate Dogg. And then Eminem did that on his album. When I was talking to Snoop one time, he said that he asked Eminem and them to get on his song, to get on his album and they told him “No”. And Snoop felt like, “I did all this and all that, and they tell me ‘no’?! Nobody tells me ‘no’!”
But Eminem probably even didn’t know that Snoop asked to do a song. That was probably Paul Rosenberg or somebody saying “No!” He probably even didn’t get to Eminem that Snoop wanted to do a song with him. But [Snoop] took it personally. That’s why you’ve never heard a song from Snoop and Eminem since then.
It makes sense somehow. To feel dismissed and not appreciated, not being recognised as a rapper with whom Eminem can go in the booth together can hurt. And without discussing this situation, the wound could fester, resulting in this bad blood between two rappers. The bad blood that brought them on the brink of a serious beef with shots exchange by Snoop in the interview and Eminem on M2BMB.
Eminem released “Bitch Please II” with Snoop Dogg, Dr. Dre, Nate Dogg and Xzibit in 2000. 20 years have passed since the event described by Daz. It is time to talk to each other. Because Eminem indeed sounds like he has absolutely no idea where Snoop’s animosity comes from.
