Snoop Dogg joins Nation of Islam 
 


Snoop Dogg has revealed he has joined the Nation of Islam after appearing at the religious group's annual Saviours' Day event in Chicago.

The rapper, who described himself as the "leader of the hip-hop community", told followers he would share what he learned with other musicians.

He told reporters that he joined the group because he was "doing what's right and representing what's right".

It preaches self-reliance for black people within an Islamic framework.

At Sunday's event, the rapper sat on stage while Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan gave a speech.


  I live how I'm supposed to live as far as doing what's right and representing what's right - that's why I was here today

 - Snoop Dogg

He said afterwards that listening to the speech from Mr Farrakhan was "about a mirror - it's about looking at yourself".

He added: "We're doing a lot of wrongs among ourselves that need correcting."

When asked if he had joined the movement he said: "I'm already in the Nation, that's why I'm here.

"I'm an advocate for peace, I've been in the peace movement ever since I've been making music.

"My whole thing is not about really trying to push my thing on you.

"It's just about the way I live, and I live how I'm supposed to live as far as doing what's right and representing what's right - that's why I was here today."

He would not say when he had joined the Nation of Islam.

how do you know he's mixing rap with religion?....
he hasnt released any music since he publically announced that he joined the NOI.

i dont think much will change in his music.
tray deee is in the nation of islam, and he raps about gangbangin shyt.

me personally, i think this could be a good thing musicwise. snoop might have a bit more substance in his lyrics now, but he aint gonna get all religious, and turn his raps into some gospel music, so dont worry.

Interesting... but I really don't know that much about the modern Nation of Islam, I've only read about 60's NOI.
