ReplyDeleteWell im glad that you learned something from my blog. It is very good to know that I helped someone else learn something new. :)
ReplyDeleteSnoop DoGG! He is a real O.G lol. He has been in and out of jail and then became rich somehow. I think music like rap influences people to live like the music and make their life that way. I think thats why many people are using more drugs and going to jail. A lot of people are'nt lucky like Snoop because most go to jail & dont get rich like him.
ReplyDeleteYou said exactly nothing.
Deletethe epitome of a classy african american.. role model for kids? I have to admit I listen to NWA when i workout, but its for the energy of the music, not the lyrics, I would not encourage kids to listen to it. Snoop Doggs solo work I never was interested in. Too much talk about gang-banging.

ReplyDeleteAnd now, Snoop Dogg is doing a commercial, only saw one, thank God,for Dunkin Donuts. PEOPLE, LOOK AT HIS CRIMINAL HISTORY! Never get another dime of my money. He is a prime example, of a bad example. Every morning i wake up, and cringe, wondering how much longer it will take society to initiate a reversal of the current tide of societal degredation. When will the madness stop!
ReplyDeleteGreat message to our up and coming, Dunkin Donuts; shame on you! Every franchise should be boycotted. To the Dunkin Donut powers that be, what ever the reason for this distasteful choice, as a corporate sponsor,
Save face, pull the commercial, and make a public apology. Thank you.
a role model for your kids
