Biz: Colt 45 Blast: Endorsed by Snoop Dogg, not endorsed by Illinois

  • Meet the new Four Loko: Our friends at Pabst may not promote the heck out of PBR, at least obviously, but they are promoting this Colt 45 derivative really heavily, using Snoop Dogg to push Blast onto unsuspecting youths who missed out on Billy Dee WIlliams. The drink, which doesn’t have caffeine, does have 12 percent alcohol concentration — enough for Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan to compare a single can to a six-pack of beer. It’s not Loko. It’s a Blast. source

Music: Snoop Dogg is top cat at an iconic hip-hop label imprint

  • Priority Records just made him top priority. Everybody loves Snoop Dogg, right? (Well, besides the dogg thing, but today he’s an honorary cat.) Well, Priority Records, a gangsta rap label which released classic West Coast hip-hop from the likes of NWA, Eazy-E, Ice Cube and Westside Connection, is making him creative chairman of the label. Just in time for their 25th anniversary, Priority will put him in charge of a series of releases to commemorate the label’s history. Not bad, Niggarachi. source

Culture, Music: The Death Row catalogue; buy it, tick Suge off

  • Why it’s for sale Back in 2006, Suge Knight declared bankruptcy. As part of that whole kit-and-kaboodle, he had to put legendary gangsta rap label Death Row Records up for sale. It goes to auction January 15.
  • Don’t wanna cross him Despite a treasure trove of songs reportedly in the thousands, some potential buyers are supposedly scared that Knight might come to haunt them if they lay their hands on his former assets. Hmm. Wonder why. source
