The Doggfather addresses long-standing tensions with his former Death Row boss on “ShutYoBitchAssUp.”
Snoop Dogg is reigniting his long-standing feud with Suge Knight on his latest album, Iz It a Crime?, released Thursday (May 15). The West Coast legend takes direct aim at his former label boss on the confrontational track “ShutYoBitchAssUp,” unleashing bold claims and blistering bars.
On the song, Snoop calls out Knight over their shared history with Death Row Records, referencing his 2022 acquisition of the iconic label and accusing Knight of cooperating with authorities from behind bars.
“I can see why you mad / I bought everything you own / Now you in PC snitching on the phone,” Snoop raps.
“But I can slap the taste out your muthaf—kin’ mouth / Pull up on your n—a, make you wanna reroute / And if he hit the main line, he gon’ see what we bout / Oh b—h-ass n—a, I’m a rich-ass n—a.”
These pointed lyrics come just months after Suge Knight criticized Snoop in a prison interview with The Art of Dialogue, where he accused the rap icon of “destroying” hip-hop and diminishing the legacy of Death Row.
“You trying to create something that Suge Knight created,” Knight said in March. “But instead of making something big, you disappointed the world by making everything flops.”
He continued by challenging Snoop’s credibility:
“If you have Death Row, you destroyed it. You messed up the name.”
While Snoop legally acquired the Death Row brand from MNRK Music Group in 2022, Knight remains skeptical and has repeatedly demanded evidence of the purchase.
“What you buy? Shut me up,” Knight challenged. “Show me where y’all paid the money to buy it. Show me the paperwork — show me what you own.”
Knight, now 59, is currently serving a 28-year sentence for voluntary manslaughter in connection with the death of Terry Carter in 2015. He is eligible for parole in October 2034.
Meanwhile, Iz It a Crime? sees Snoop linking up with heavyweights like Pharrell Williams, Wiz Khalifa, and rising star Sexyy Red. The album is already generating major buzz for its raw honesty and nostalgic West Coast vibes — as well as its unfiltered disses.
