My son loves Snoop LION!

[TraceOneInfinite]

I was surprised how much appeal this album has for kids.  This is the first time my son has ever really taken to a rap artist or hip-hop.  I was 11 when I got into Snoop from seeing him in the "Wit A Dre Day" video summer of 93'.  Now, 2 decades later my 7 year old son is getting into rap for the first time through SNOOP!   I was explaining how he started out as a dogg and became a Lion, and when "Here Comes the King" was playing my son even explained to me that he was a King because the Lion is the King of the jungle!  

My son was really into the album, even asked me about smoking and everything.   I explained to him how smoking isn't just ciggerettes but that Snoop is actually talking about a different kind of plant.  He said, "A plant?"  And I explained how it's crushed down really small and rolled up!

Snoop Dogg/Lion IS kids music

didnt even check that garbage he put out

Snoop Dogg/Lion IS kids music

Actually, it didn't really fully occur to me.  His first video for the album had little kids in it and I thought the video was dumb.   But it's all starting to make sense now and I am starting to see Snoop for the genius that he is.

He really did set out to make music that even kids could love.  Turns out this evening I found out my son went to school and told his teacher he "loves Snoop Lion".  

...as a side note he told some kids in class that he wants to smoke when he gets older.  When his teacher caught him she was about to play him one of those video's they show kids of patients with extreme throat cancer.  ...But then he told her that it wasn't cigarettes, but that it's a green plant that you roll up in white paper!    

Amazing that my son and I would end up bonding over Snoop!  My favorite artist as a kid is now my son's favorite artist!

This has to be a joke. If not, it's really sad.

I really don't think it should of been moved.  When we are talking about West Coast music, and the return of the West Coast; that is actually a big deal if the youth are getting into Snoop once more.  To be now 20 years into his career, and to have found a way to recapture the eyes and ears of the youth, is a very significant achievement for Snoop and for the West Coast.

It's not some silly G-Spot topic where I am trying to troll about my son.  This is serious, I was really amazed at that kind of crossover appeal Snoop has achieved with this album, between old and young.  The only thing standing in his way is getting radio play.  I thought it was wack Snoop had Miley Cyrus on the album but now I admire his decision.  It was a very genuine move by him.  If this Miley Cyrus song gets the radio play it deserves Snoop will be back on top of the game 20 years after he came out!  That's a phenomenal achievement.

...By the way, my son has no idea who Hannah Montana is.  His love for the album has nothing to do with Miley Cyrus.  He just loves the music and has decided he loves Snoop.  But Miley Cyrus could hold the key to this album reaching it's full potential and receiving it's due recognition.

The public school system is a joke.  My son has never attended a day of public school, only privately owned Islamic daycare and school.

THIS THREAD IS A POTENTIAL CLASSIC..


THE FACT THAT IT WAS MOVED IS BLASPHEMOUS...LIKE WHO THE FUCK U THINK U ARE TO DICTATE WHAT GOES WHERE AGAINST THE RULES? THIS IS A THREAD ABOUT A WEST COAST ARTIST, AND WHOEVER WAS GAY ENOUGH TO DECIDE THAT THE POTENTIAL TRAFFIC A THREAD LIKE THIS COULD BRING DOESNT BELONG IN THE MAIN SECTION DESERVES TO BE IMMEDIATELY BANNED FOR BEING PART OF THE REASON THE FORUM IS LOSING VALUE.

so your son is training to be a terrorist?

No.. I don't think they teach the kids bomb making until the second semester, but I may have to review the course syllabus.
