No doubt Snoop got paid, but take this perspective on the situation: Snoop is sitting around thinking to himself "man... my pockets are feeling a bit thin. Who the fuck can I sell a verse to so I can make some bread? Oh yeah, theres these clowns from Detroit that rap- Im sure they're loaded (keeping in mind that the record snoop was on only went gold, and ICP had no success at all before Amazing Jeckel Brothers). I just fly out to some crack headed house in the ghettos of detroit, spit a verse and chill with some dumb ass whiteboys in the hood and I GET PAID!
And even if he didnt go record with them and just sent his verse by mail or something, theres PLENTY of other artists at the time who would have been able to pay a whole lot more scratch than icp to have snoop on their albums. I refuse to believe the sole reason for snoop cutting a track with them was purely for money. What person (juggalo or otherwise) hasnt heard of snoop dogg before his collab with ICP, and wouldnt buy his shit until he was on their album? Let all be real here, snoop didnt gain shit except maybe a couple grand from doing that song.
So why would Snoop risk his credibility he already had established in the rap industry just to make a few dollars off of some clowns?
Maybe he was just high as hell, fuck if I know. But, still there isnt no arguing with Bone Thugs showing clown love. Im not anymore happy than all of ya'll are to see good talent affiliate themselves with- no talent. I just keep it real and dont completely disregard the buzz that even shitty music brings
