        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.

    Snoop is the textbook definition of overstaying one’s welcome. That wannabe rasta shit killed my interest in any that that dude is up to. Watch his documentary “Reincarnated” for some Grade-A cringe 😬

        He was appropriating a deeply religious culture, and got called out on it by prevalent figures within said culture, which is why he stopped. He’s a poser.

          Dont forget that he once claimed to be the reincarnation of Bob Marley, even tho Snoop was about 10 when Bob Marley died.

          So if true, Snoop had no soul for 10 years until Bob Marley died and took over.

    I got to see Snoop and Wiz Khalifa at the Jones Beach Amphitheatre in 2016 or 17 (thanks to VetTix).

    I was one of the oldest people there and still thought it was fucking amazing.

    It’s been the Snoop and Peyton Manning show. Sucks because they are both stealing the spotlight from the athletes.
