Peace y'all is your boy Johnny fastlane here with all hip hop calm. So Snoop Dogg supports the writer's strike. Let's talk hip hop
0:09
I chose this situation is pretty crazy, right? Because as you guys know in Hollywood, the writers are striking the Writers Guild of America
0:18
So anybody who falls under that umbrella, they are not writing for movies TV shows or anything anymore, right
0:25
So Saturday Night Live has been canceled because they are live and it comes on every Saturday
0:31
So these are the first people to be affected right? I'm Snoop Dogg smoke spoke out about it, right
0:35
He actually is the owner of death row now And as you guys know
0:39
He took all death rows music off the streaming platforms as soon as he became the owner
0:43
The reason why is because he said that the artists weren't getting paid
0:47
So he had to renegotiate paperwork and then he did we upload all death rows music so that the artists could get paid to right
0:54
Same situation So, of course now a lot of things are switching from just like regular TV and network TV to just straight
1:02
Streaming on like HBO Max. Hey, here's a new series or streaming on Netflix
1:06
Here's a new series or here's a new movie. Sometimes it might not even hit the movie theater
1:11
It'll go straight to like Peacock or whatever. I'm and still do huge numbers, right
1:15
Um, but because of that yeah the production company gets paid and the actors get paid but the
1:20
Writers of the scripts of these movies and TV shows are not getting paid because they have found loopholes
1:26
Since now there's more bucks coming from streaming versus hard ticket sales in the box office or just watching it on TV and getting ratings
1:34
Plus commercials, right? I'm so because of that the Writers Guild of America
1:38
They have told all their writers to go on strike because they want more money and more respect for their hard work, right
1:45
I'm Snoop Dogg compares it to hip-hop That's the same gripe that rappers are having right now whereas, you know artists they're putting out music they're doing huge numbers
1:54
They're getting huge streams Millions of billions of streams but only seeing pennies to the dollar for that and that the record labels keeping most of the money, right
2:02
I'm so it even kind of sounded like Snoop Dogg said maybe rappers needs going straight down, but we will see about that
2:08
