So, Snoop Dogg says he supports the double Hollywood strike. Let's talk hip hop
0:10
Aight, yo, this situation is crazy, right? Because Snoop Dogg says that he supports the double Hollywood strike, right
0:17
And you guys know the whole situation, man. The Writers Guild of America, they went on strike back in May, like May 2nd
0:23
But then all the SAG actors, they went on strike on July 14th, like three days ago
0:28
So pretty much, it's a double Hollywood strike is what people are calling it, right
0:32
Snoop Dogg, he spoke about this. He kind of suggested that rappers or artists probably should go on strike too
0:39
because they're not getting paid for streams. He says, I don't understand that if you get a billion streams, you don't get a million dollars
0:46
He said it's not adding up. If you were supposed to get a certain percentage of the song
0:50
if it's streamed all that many times, then you get the certain percentage. It's pretty cut and dry, right
0:54
Numbers don't lie, right? Snoop said, look, we got to join like they're joining
0:58
These dudes, they're not getting paid from the streaming services. I mean, they get paid initially when they write something for a movie or a series
1:06
But when that movie or series then goes to Hulu, they don't get paid for that
1:10
And then if it goes on HBO Max or Netflix, they don't get paid for that
1:14
And so that's why these actors and the writers are striking, because they want to get paid
1:19
If the producers are getting more money, they should be getting more money too, right
1:23
So Snoop feels the same way, man. He's like, these streaming platforms are paying the record labels hand over foot
1:29
But the artists, they're not seeing any money behind that. And that is messed up, man
1:33
So Snoop supports them. And he's saying he does. He wants artists to go on strike too
1:38
I don't know about all of that now. But let me know what y'all think about this in the comments
