        https://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/music/news/donald-trump-snoop-dogg-us-election-b2486465.html

        Basically, Dogg did a 180 and went from attacking Trump to supporting him because Trump got his buddy and co-founder of his first label Michael Harris off of Death Row. He went from making anti-Trump music and being publicly known for messing with Trump to suddenly going “he ain’t done nothing wrong to me, he has only done good things for me. So I have nothing but love and respect for Donald Trump.”

        It sounds entirely self-serving if you ask me, kissing the ass of Donald Trump because he did something nice for you even though he’s still hurting the very culture Snoop claims to represent. What a fucking traitor. Fuck Snoop Dogg.

          To be clear, the record label is Death Row Records. He was initially charged with attempted murder but that was dropped and he wasn’t ever facing the death penalty. He was behind bars for 33 years for running a “nationwide drug trafficking operation that brought in nearly $2 million daily.” Snoop now owns Death Row Records.
