The caption, which reads a simple yet effective "Death Row 1996," sets the scene. In the picture itself are a young Snoop, presumably in the recording stages of Doggfather, MC Hammer, cigar-toting attorney David Kenner, the late 2Pac Shakur, producer Johnny J (All Eyez On Me), and of course, Suge Knight.

Despite the dark turn the label ultimately went on to take, it's still fascinating to see remnants of a true hip-hop dynasty - one that came to define the culture in various ways, especially sonically. It's likely that every hip-hop listener over the age of twenty-one has a favorite Death Row project, and if you don't, it's never too late to familiarize yourself with history. Thanks for sharing, Snoop.
