NO WONDER SNOOP DOESN'T CARE ABOUT RAP ANYMORE.

Snoop Dogg recently revealed that he has given up two of the things he frequently rapped about- smoking weed and drinking liquor. The Long Beach –bred rapper, who won High Time's Stoner Of The Year award this year, said that he has been sober for almost a month now and plans on sticking with it.
"Drugs cloud your vision," Snoop told AllHipHop.com. "I was having fun when I was getting high. Don't regret none of the times I was on it. That was me, Snoop Dogg: Stoner of the Year. Don't give a f*ck. That's how I did that."
Snoop wrote weed and alcohol induced songs from The Chronic and others like "Gin & Juice" and was often visibly high in interviews and other public appearances. Last October, the multifaceted entertainer was arrested in Ohio, when state troopers found marijuana after stopping his tour bus in a Cleveland. He pleaded no contest earlier this year.
But, those days are behind the rapper, he said. Snoop confessed that he has abstained from the drugs because his wife, children and emerging stable of artists depend on him to be a shrewd businessman, husband and father. "I said 'Let me stop smoking dope so I can get a better vision of myself, see who I am and what I mean to the world. What I mean to my kids and what I mean to life in general'."
While admitting that he had fun doing drugs, the 30-year-old entertainer confessed to contradicting himself throughout his illustrious career. "I used to do public service announcements and tell the kids, ‘Say no to drugs” and high as f*ck – very hypocritical. That’s one thing my momma always told me, ‘If you gonna do something, baby, mean it. Do not be hypocritical. Do not say, “Don’t do this and you turn around and do the same thing.’ I took that to heart."
With his new sobriety, Snoop said he is able to better manage his variety of business endeavors. He recently signed his Doggystyle imprint with MCA and recently released Snoop Dogg: Doggy Style Allstars Vol. 1. His clothing line, Snoop Dogg Clothing is expected to rake in over $40 million dollars this year.
“A n*gga is keen right now – sharp," Snoop concluded.

The way snoop's clothing works is a famous maker makes them for him, he just tells them what they look like and puts his name on them. That way, he doesn't have to worry about any aspect of the business, the other company runs it for him, and snoop gets licensing dollars from it. Out of that 40 million he's grossing, he'll probably see 2-3 million of it, for the right to use his name. Not bad, since there's probably nothing involved in it, he just approves designs and stuff.
Man, I gotta applaud snoop for this. That's awesome that he gave that stuff up, Watch, he's gonna turn into a monster again. You just KNOW some of the stuff on the chronic and doggystyle was probably written sober, now that he ain't high, he's gonna be dope again. He's probably been smoking less and less, which is why he's getting better and better. He's really turned his life around, went from a convicted crack dealer in prison, to murder charges, to having a successful marriage, 3 kids, his own record label, has hundreds of people making a living off of him, his own clothing label, his own recording studio, his own cadillac even for petes sake. Congratulations, he deserves it.

ACTUALLY IN SEVERAL INTERVIEWS INCLUDING THE SPEACIAL ON OH DRAMA SNOOP INDICATED THAT SDC IS A COMPANY OWNED BY HIMSELF. HE GOT THE IDEA FROM ANDY HILFIGER TOMMY'S BROTHER. HE RUNS THE COMPANY ALONG WITH ONE OF QUINCY JONES'S DAUGTHERS. BUT THE COMPANY IS OWNED OR AT LEAST MAJORITY OWNED BY BIGG SNOOP DOGG HIMSELF.
