Sup All - what do y'all think about this? I don't think there will be too many people doubting it...but holla back
PEACE.

What do you mean?

What do you mean?
Yeah really? what are you asking homie? I hope your not saying Snoop is fake cause there are waaaay more fools in the rap game 10x's as fake...
-
Ok cool. It started when me and Nima were talking about a Crip book called "Monster" some of you may have heard of it. Anyways, it refers to a OG Crip in the 80's called 'Snoop Dogg' and it makes you wonder if Snoop just bit the name. Also, it just starts to get to me how Snoop is married with children living in Hollywood etc but still calling himself a pimp and a gangsta? now to me, Snoop is a LEGEND but there is only so much of this shit I can take. Judging by his last LP it looks as if he is running out of material with all this pimp shit and all the featured artists he needs on his LP's...
Just my feeling though...holla back
PEACE!

i think all these rappers are fake in one way or another, but its jus what comes with ebcoming so famous n gettin so much money
the ones that keep they respect is the ones who show they still be down with the ppl who was with them when they were gettin big and havent changed that much as a person
i respect snoop cuz he always givin back to the community and on all his albums, he always has lil tings to tell us younger blacks out there, so nah, i dont think his fake
peace

Yeah word... and there's lots of rappers that are married and still talk about the same stuff they did when they started there career... also just cause Snoop's married doesn't mean he can't be gang affiliated...
-
its entertainment...it sells
if i was that famous and if i REALLY was a gangsta....i wouldn't be screaming gangsta every 2 sec..when there is milllions of people listening to you....

on piont snoop was a crip, and still claims it even if he don't bang anymore, he stays down and reps where he is from. he reps more for his hood than any other main stream artist a can think of. That pimp shit can get annoying but thats the philosophy he is going with and living by he's always been about not lovin hoes, he just took it to the next level
-
Yo LyRiCaL_G, that's true n all, but Snoop will do anything for a quick buck. Look at ALL the featured artists on his last 2 LP's! it's all about sales, he doesn't give a fuck about the music anymore.
Last Meal: 4 Solo tracks out of 19
Paid The Cost: 7 Solo tracks out of 20
Peace.

Snoop doesn't live in Hollywood, he lives in Claremont...PeACe
-
Jus Remember who took two excons from rival crip gangs and formed a group out of them to squash beef....
Jus if ur hard headed remember it was Snoop and Tha Group is Tha Eastsidaz....
-
^^ I thought he lived in Chino Hills...
Well anywayz.. What do you expect? You expect him to still be out there doing gangsta shit when he's a millionaire??? LOL.. Everybody's tryna get out tha ghetto, Snoop made it... and plus... that fools old.. he's like 30 something... even most 30 year old gangsters that live in tha ghetto dont even bang nomore. You guys watch to many movies... and listen to too much Gangsta Rap... cuz that aint what it's all about.
And about his guest appearances.... he's being doing that since Doggystyle. Maybe not as much but yeah... listen to Doggfather, Tha Game, and Topp Dogg... those albums were fulll of guest appearances also... so what.
-
The name thing's just a coincidence. Somehow I get the feeling that there are more than a few (wannabe)gangstas that have a 'Dogg' or a 'Loc' in their names.
-
eastcoasta: Can you now tell me what group doesn't want Snoop on their album? Jus if ur hard headed it's Tha Eastsidaz.
Don_Chronelius_909: If he ain't bangin then why is he still coming out with that shit? like you say he's 30 yrs old...oh yeah I forgot, he's a 'pimp' now...
As for the guest appearances it just shows Snoop can't sell a record on his own without the help of somebody else. Check the adds in the magazines boasting who's on the album etc....that's wack. Look at Biggie, Nas, Ice T for god sake....all legends who don't need others to carry them.
Peace!

ummmm i think if you give a nazi and a jewish rabi a very lucritive record contract, they'd sing together too so does that make you real?

Lmao. True dat.
Are you sure you don't have 3 accounts on this forum, the other two being "yeah" & "smartass" ??
-
Snoop still yells out "Crip" and "Gangsta" when he ain't one...just like Dre still yells out "Compton"...
From the past few records, I definitly think Snoop FELL OFF! He won't ever be as hot as he was back in the "Doggystyle" days...that record was the shit!
I think Snoop needs to take his check, and get out the game...it's boring after a while when all he raps about is pimpin, gangstas, and bitches...
-
Fucking A this topic is so ridiculous. So many people say that snoop is fake, blah blah blah. He is a millionaire, do u expect him to hang out in the hood, sell drugs, pull drive by's, jack fools, etc. Only a fucking complete idiot would do that type of shit if they were as rich as snoop. So he raps about that stuff, but don't really live that lifestyle anymore...big fuckin deal...its entertainment. I luv when snoop does his gangsta raps, and I could care less if he don't bang anymore. He has been through it, he has done it, he has put in work. He has been to LA county jail for about a year. He is a rollin 20 crip. He was an artist at death row. That is some fuckin hardcore shit, and if u can't realize that, then u need to pull your head out of your ass. That ain't no backstreet boys/Nelly lifestyle. Snoops done been through way more crazy shit then 99% of this board ever will and more then a lot of rappers ever have and will. Fuck man if u don't like snoop talking about this shit cause you don't think he is "real" about it, then don't listen to his fucking music, simple as that. And you sayin snoop ain't a pimp...LMMFAO! Snoop could get easily 10x the amount of women everyone on this board combined could get. Tell me that ain't pimp. Some of you guys need a serious reality check. Snoop has women for days doin anything he wanted. Hot ass women too. Just look at the girls in his videos.
-
lol @ all this......
About Snoop being a pimp......Yes, He does have gyrls that work 4 him, We waz at tha graphic artist Shemp's house tha other day and JT tha bigga figga came thru and we waz talkin bout Snoop and shit, and he waz sayin he knows some of tha hoes tha work 4 Snoop, JT also has 4 hoes that work 4 him......
And about Snoop being a Crip......All these lil fans out here callin him fake, lol......Obviously yall dunno what being a Crip is all about.....Alot of wannabe Crips these days claimin they lil spots dont either, but Snoop got his shit straight......
As far as musically, I dun feel Snoop much anymore......U know, after U reach tha top, there's one way to go and dats Down.......
-
i think most of you catch too many feelings over a man you don't even know
-
From what I've heard about Snoop. From actual people from Long Beach is that he never banged. Daz did Snoop didn't simple as that. This is from my homeboy who lived in LB all his life and went to high school wit Snoop. Snoop start claimin' when he brought out the Eastsidaz, I guess they inspired him with all of that crip talk.
My beef with Snoop is that if he was Mr. Hardcore GangBanger why didn't he come out the gates Bangin' ???
Don't start bangin the set at 30, what type of shit is that ??? If I was from they hood I woulda checked that nigga long time ago.
As far as being too far in the streets, but famous, from what I here Beanie Seagal missed studio time for his first album slangin' crack in the streets. So I guess he can say whatever he wants about bein' in the streets Because he still is.
Ohhh...one more thing. Can somebody vouche for Dre being from Kompton. I want streets and all. What the fuck hood did this nigga stay in. Don't nobody know Dre from Kompton WTF ???
-
IMO snoop should take a 4-5 year hiatus and work on the business end of the label, and making sure Soopafly and other artist on his label can actually enjoy the same success Snoop had instead of talkin about it

are you on crack snoop has been talking about being a crip since he came out the gate, the eastsidaz inpsired him? lol, snoop was a gang member did slang drugs fo the rollin 20 crips and went to jail. i don't know who you supposedly talked to in long beach, but i have alot of family from there and everybody i've talked to down there is down with snoop and says he's like a crip king, cause he reps for them and pretty much has love from all the crip gangs in long beach especially the 20's

Dog, on the real... since you can't even SPELL "Kompton", I guess you don't know too much about it either.

Snoop doesn't live in Hollywood, he lives in Claremont...PeACe
i got a house out in the hills right next to chino...lol..not claremont...he lives in a gated community...in chino hills...
anyway...that book monster...i think the guy Snoop Dog was from the 20s tho...coulda be a big homie lil homie thing...u know like lil monsta etc...im gonna find my book in my closet and ill tell yall...but it gang bangin everyone has the same name..lol...look at the cholos...u know how many cholos are named Capone?..or Sleepy...etc...street names are all very similar....theyre not very creative
-
dollabill-i think the fact that snoop wasn't "crip this, crip that" in the early days was largely due to the fact that the head of his label (ie Suge Knight) was a BLOOD. and lets think logically real quick. if snoop had never banged before, don't you think someone from long beach would have said something about it before? and yes dre actually lived in compton.
just a tip. when you say stuff like "if i was from snoop's hood, i woulda checked him a long time ago", it doesn't make you sound tough. it makes you sound funny. your on the computer. you're not a G. peace
-
^^^^i hardly agree with u...but yup...sums it up pretty much...do u guys really think snoops 130 pound self woulda went against the grain with suge?...hell no...he woulda got served..thats why he waited til suge was locked up to talk shit...now he talks shit sure...but he got hella security n shit now as compared to back then...snoop wasnt really fake...just smart...he knows when to pick his battles....
-
G child do you think that the eastsidaz dont want snoop on their album or do they just want to try to make an album on their own ?? I would have to go with the later on that one...
People talk about guest appearances and I agree its bad but thats what there all doin today ... It isnt like the early 90s or the 80s where one or two rappers rapped through out the whole album... To come to think of it the first album that boasted mad guest appearances is the Chronic.... Which we all know is the greatest hip hop album of all time ..... Its not the guest appearances that kill albums its multiple production that does... to many producers kill the flow of an album... Thats y Dre drops classics while no oone else in rap does... .

good piont, and it's like daz said in some interview that thats why you heard them yellin dogg pound cause that was the crips on death row, and you do hear snoop sayin rtc and shit and draped in all blue, or i got my blue chucks on, and shit like that
-
OK. fuck any muthafucka on here tellin' me what I am and where I'm from. Half of ya'll muthafuckaz are white boys from all across the damn world. What the fuck you know about Kompton. I'm from Eastside Bompton {Fruits}, and it's in me for the rest of my life I don't give a fuck what none of you muthafuckaz think. Stroll down Rosecrans after dark, and then come talk shit to me. I'll be on the corner of Rosecrans and Aranbe come B me niggaz...
-
"I moved out the hood like I should,
and then they had the nerve to call me Hollywood/
But I don't give a fuck, If Im misunderstood,
20 Crip, don't slip, yeah its all to the good"
That shit is from "yall gone miss me" and thats basically my thoughts on that.
-
lmao @ U faggots actin like Compton is hell or somethin.....Compton aint shit really, its a shit hole just like all tha other shit holes in Cali.....Only difference is that Compton got all these muthafuckas reppin it on a mainstream level.....There's hundreds of other ghettos out here worse that Compton, but aint nobody makin it big from there 2 represent on a national tip.....Stop fallin 4 all tha hype.....
-
Nobody ever said that you step outta yo house and get shot in the face or somethin' in Compton. I didn't claim it to be shit, I'm just puttin' where I'm from out there. Ya'll put ya'll cities in ya'll sigs, why can't I rep my city. I ain't doin' that shit for show, that's where I'm from.
-
Snoop fake? Nah, a man who's been charged for a gang-related murder, and arrested several times for dope dealing are probably not fake when he says it on CD. But now, Snoop is a multimillionaire, a businessman. Would you still go out and bang if you were it? Married, with three kids and all that? No, I don't think he's fake.
-
Snoop is wayy 2 real.
-
Snoop fake? Nah,arrested several times for dope dealing are probably not fake when he says it on CD.
So dope-dealing is "keeping it real" now huh? LoL..
-
You're real when you are a dope dealer, and talk about it on record, yes.
