Snoop said that the “main gripe” of artists that are hitting big numbers on streaming services are not seeing monetary results. The rapper recalled that when he started in the industry, it was much easier to calculate how much money he would get as it was all based on selling physical copies. “If you sold a million copies, that means 999, $9 million, you get this percentage, that’s what it is,” he added. “So if I sell how many streams, how much money do I get? It’s not being translated and it’s not working for the artist right now.”
He continued, “We need to figure that out the same way the writers are figuring it out — the writers are striking because [of] streaming, they can’t get paid. Because when it’s on the [streaming] platform, it’s not like in the box office. In the box office, if it does all these numbers you make it up, ‘Oh, it did this many, here’s another check.
Snoop hoped that in a room full of business people someone could be able to figure out how to fix the issue “so the next artist don’t have to struggle or cry or try to figure out how to get to his money. Because some of these artists are streaming millions and millions… of f**king streams and they don’t got no million dollars in their pockets.”Snoop Dogg breaks down why streaming residuals is a huge issue for SAG-AFTRA & WGA.
