Title: Snoop Dogg "Don't Compare Me To Don Imus"
Post by: mrtonguetwista on April 12, 2007, 09:39:15 PM
Snoop Dogg has issued a new warning: Don't dare to compare his lyrics — or any other MC's — to syndicated radio host Don Imus' recent racially inflammatory comments about the black women on the Rutgers University women's basketball team. Imus called them "nappy-headed ho's," among other insults.

Admittedly, Snoop and some of his peers have called women "b----es" and "ho's" in their lyrics, but as the Dogg put it Tuesday afternoon (April 10), there is no parallel to what Imus said.

"It's a completely different scenario," said Snoop, barking over the phone from a hotel room in L.A. "[Rappers] are not talking about no collegiate basketball girls who have made it to the next level in education and sports. We're talking about ho's that's in the 'hood that ain't doing sh--, that's trying to get a n---a for his money. These are two separate things. First of all, we ain't no old-ass white men that sit up on MSNBC [which announced Wednesday it would drop its simulcast of Imus' radio show] going hard on black girls. We are rappers that have these songs coming from our minds and our souls that are relevant to what we feel. I will not let them mutha----as say we in the same league as him."

Snoop did say, though, that the media needs to treat Imus as it treats some MCs (or football players, even).

"Kick him off the air forever," he said. "Ban him like they did [Adam] 'Pacman' Jones. They kicked him out the [National Football] League for the whole season [for numerous violations of the NFL's personal-conduct policy, including multiple arrests], but this punk gets to get on the air and call black women 'nappy-headed ho's.' "

At the time of this interview, Snoop's arraignment on felony charges (possession of a firearm and sale or transportation of marijuana) was looming, but on Wednesday afternoon (April 11), he pleaded no contest to the charges and was sentenced to five years' probation and 800 hours of community service; a three-year prison sentence was suspended. "Snoop accepts full responsibility for these matters," his attorney, Donald Etra, said in a statement. "He understands that, while he has every reason to seek security and protection, he cannot have a gun in his own vehicle, and he must only employ licensed security personnel. By the same token, although Snoop possesses a medical marijuana certificate, he recognizes, he cannot possess more marijuana than permitted by that law." The charges stem from Snoop's October arrest at the Bob Hope Airport in Burbank, California (see "Snoop Dogg Arrested For Drug, Gun Possession At Airport").

Amid all this, he's promoting a new album as well: a compilation called Snoop Dogg Presents: The Big Squeeze that is geared toward giving some shine to upcoming artists as well as seasoned vets. It's due April 24 on Koch.

"I produced the whole album," the Dogg explained. "I'm trying to give some light to these West Coast artists out here. Some of them are rivals, so I brought them all together so they could move forward. I call it The Big Squeeze because I'm finnin' to squeeze the game by the neck. It's a parade of the artists that I felt was my starters. As opposed to grabbing everybody from the West Coast, I grabbed the ones I thought were best at the time.

"We'll be dropping The [Big] Squeeze 2 in like three months just to make sure it's more and more talent that's coming," he added. "As opposed to calling in Pharrell and Timbaland and Scott Storch, all my high-powered friends, I said, 'Let me do it on my own and show them that if I'm willing to make the sacrifice, maybe they will too.' ... I just wanted to give them a shot. Do a record with them, people know they official ... then they got me whenever they need me. If they wanna do a [record] deal with me, then come on. If not, then they on their own. I'm not trying to lock anybody down."

You may even get to see some of these artists on the stage with Snoop soon. He and Diddy are bringing their tour to the U.S. after a run of several weeks across the world (see "Snoop Dogg Barred From Entering U.K., Cancels Dates With Diddy"). The West Coast King is also focusing on an adults-only cartoon movie to accompany his album Tha Blue Carpet Treatment.

by publicly bashing imus, the black community is digging themselves an even deeper hole in the long run. the man apologized. let him be. the more this gets exploited, the worse racism is going to be glorified.

you can carry eight ounces(half pound, but it's discouraged to carry more than an ounce) in your car.
at your house you can have something like 36 immature plants and 12 mature plants or some shit like that. even more if you have caretaker papers like myself.

 you can also get a prescription in Oregon. I know of a cat that lives in Arizona but has his prescription in CA and he makes a bi-weekly trip to the pharmacies/smoke shops in CA.

Alot of times, pharmacy weed is bagged up just like street weed so how are the cops gonna know if its street shit or medical shit? Street shit can be dank too, it all gets grown by someone. furthermore, say you have a prescription and you know a medical grower up the street, by CA law it is legal for you to just hit them up and pick up straight from them.

Don Imus is funny, what he said was funny. Why do people even care? Maybe these girls are hoes? No one ever asked them how many guys they've been with.

And really, if a celerity calling you a bad name causes your life to go into disarray, then your fucked anyways. If Howard Stern called me or my family stupid on on his radio show, I'd take it as a compliment! Someone rich and famous is taking time out of their busy day to talk about you.

so let me get this straight


when a black person wants to be a bad ass they can't be a rapper and talk about bustin nuts in white daughters faces etc. etc. but the second a white guy cops an attitude he's violating civil rights? FUCK double standards, FUCK reverse racism.\


when ras kass' ass issues apologies, when kanye's dumb ass issues apologies...etc. will i think it's fair to chastise Imus for this. He is KNOWN as an irreverent comedian, i remember this dude now....this shit is fucked up, too many proponets of black culture in america cry victimhood way too often. it's time to move on.

chapelle can make fun of white women/white PEOPLE all damn day on his show on national television and don imus who gets a percentage as many viewers as chappelle is a problem? FUCK that. This country caters to political correctness. and it's politically correct to baby black people. this is stupid.

as someone who doesnt live in CA (im in DC) that whole grassport shit amazes me  :o cant believe u cant get arrested for carrying up to a pound!


with regards to Imus and the double standard issue, i found the following comments from a music blog interesting to think about when analyzing the situation:

- Rap is art. Dude’s schtick isn’t art; he’s shock jock. Two totally different mediums of “entertainment.” You can’t reign over art, you have to let it be. You can control shock media because there are limits and boundaries. Taking rap music and artists to task for misogyny is something that should be done…but blaming rap is a weak attempt @ distraction.

- Imus has power that rappers don’t. He’s still got Gulliani and other powerful figures sticking up for him, calling him a friend and saying they’d still go on his show. When was the last time Guilliani stood & watched rappers spit in the Rap City booth?

Post by: Tanjential on April 13, 2007, 01:13:03 PM
nah you can't have a pound on you, a half pound maybe but it's still considered sketchy to have more than an ounce on you.

shock jock ain't art but shock rap/rap is? bullshit. entertainment is art. there is an art to entertaining, what's a comedian?

furthermore, Imus takes a stand on political issues thus mustering support. A rapper wouldn't dare appear politically/socially conscious enough to express a real and informed political opinion so of course no politicians will stick up for them. Rappers bring it upon themselves when they glorify stupidity.

Imus's show is broadcast to millions on public radio, so are Snoop's songs... the only difference is most radio stations will edit the word "ho" in snoopy's song... if they edited Imus's comments like they did Snoop's song, im willing to bet he wouldnt be in the mess he's in now

Imus (just like Snoop) has the freedom to say whatever he wants, but he cannot make these types of comments on public airwaves without expecting to catch heat... ever since Janet's titty popped out, TV and radio are subject to heavy scrutiny



in the end tho, people need to man up and take responsibility for their individual actions instead of pointing fingers

LOL @ Snoop being censored.  He had that joint a few years back "Let's Get Blown" that was all over radio / video outlets.  And back in Snoop's early days, sayin ho / trick was acceptable on radio /vidoes.  They used to sub those words in for bitch and other words for the radio mix.  But now it's taboo. 

word, like i said...I'm down with rappers having the freedom to say whatever but for snoop to diss someone elses freedom of speech is positively unamerican.

And if people want equality, you either let everybody have freedom of speech, or nobody.  No more double standards.  Shit will never be equal unitl that starts happening.

Yo, I see what you're saying: racism is fucked up but that doesn't mean double standards in regards to the first amendment are ok. NOONE is saying racism is OK. We are saying Snoop shouldn't attack freedom of speech considering his situation/position/occupation/history.

In my Opinion, Snoop comment was useless, I mean if u want to share your point of you, atleast come with some sense, he's probably The reason, People will never take rappers seriously.

this don imus shit is getting out of control. everyone and their fucking mom are getting their panties in a bunch over this shit. you know what, if al sharpton and jesse jackson never made a public outcry about this then no one would have even gave a shit. i bet half the people in the country that are bitchin about this never even heard of don imus before this happened.

by publicly bashing imus, the black community is digging themselves an even deeper hole in the long run. the man apologized. let him be. the more this gets exploited, the worse racism is going to be glorified.



You Are a racist piece of faggot shit... u should kill yourself

haha, oh please. you don't even know me. if you did, you would know that i am the furthest thing from a racist. noticed how my whole argument was "the more this gets exploited, the worse racism is going to be glorified."? you just proved that point. fuck off.

whoah, just looked him up...

so let me get this straight


when a black person wants to be a bad ass they can't be a rapper and talk about bustin nuts in white daughters faces etc. etc. but the second a white guy cops an attitude he's violating civil rights? FUCK double standards, FUCK reverse racism.\


when ras kass' ass issues apologies, when kanye's dumb ass issues apologies...etc. will i think it's fair to chastise Imus for this. He is KNOWN as an irreverent comedian, i remember this dude now....this shit is fucked up, too many proponets of black culture in america cry victimhood way too often. it's time to move on.

chapelle can make fun of white women/white PEOPLE all damn day on his show on national television and don imus who gets a percentage as many viewers as chappelle is a problem? FUCK that. This country caters to political correctness. and it's politically correct to baby black people. this is stupid.

-T

that is exactly what i'm saying dude. i'm in no way a racist but when shit like this happens it really pisses me off. once a white man makes a poke at any other race than his own he gets publicly bashed and fired. when people of other ethnicities do it, everyone laughs. this reverse racism shit needs to stop. it's getting to the point of ridiculousness.

I'm guessin you're not much of an educated dude, but fuck that, I'm not giving you a pass just cause you can't comprehend what we're saying.  You're giving Snoop or other black entertainers a pass - Dave Chappelle, Paul Mooney, Chris Rock, Eddie Murphy, Richard Pryor, Redd Foxx, etc. to say ANYTHING they want, (and keep in mind, some of those guys, especially Chris Rock are EXCELLENT SOCIAL COMMENTATORS - which is how you categorized Imus).  But you throw a fucking fit cause some old ass shock jock calls a bunch of basketball players "nappy headed hoes"?!?  Well check dude's resume', he's been saying shit much worse than that for years.  But that doesn't matter to you, you just feed into the hype that media has fueled this story with. 

Snoop was fucking stupid to comment, and it's stupid for you to try and say that Snoop gets a pass because he's a black entertainer.  That's one of the lamest attempts at an arguement that I've seen on this board.  Just understand that until you begin holding EVERYONE, INCLUDING YOURSELF, INCLUDING BLACK ENTERTAINERS responsible for what they say, there will NEVER be equality.  It's not difficult to understand.  Snoop is a person just like fuckin Imus is a person, and they're both entitled to their opinions.  If you don't understand that, then I've completely wasted my time (I'm pretty sure I have anyway).

What about somebody that's 3/4 black?  Can they make fun of black people?  1/2 black?  1/4 black?  1/8 black?  Where do you draw the line?  The only principle you need to apply is to get respect you gotta give respect.  And I don't think you got the respect of anybody in here homie.  And you did that shit to yourself.  Ain't no colors on the internet bruh.

yall right he has the right to say whatever the fuck he wants but it was wrong to specially call these bball players "nappy headed hoes" that was just a fucked up thing to say and it wasnt cool at all....all the comedians yall mentioned they talk about every race and they do it in a way that can make everyone laugh at everyones steroetypes until i hear imus call white girls "stringy headed hoes" spanish women "salsa headed hoes"(just giving examples) or some shit then it would seem like he was just ignorant towards everyone
