Has-been rapper Snoop Dogg released a new music video that depicts him pointing a gun and pulling the trigger at a Clown-faced man with a bouffant of blonde hair, presumably a representation of president Donald J. Trump.
The video is going to cause a stir. Should it? Probably not. After all, it’s just an “artistic rendering” in a stupid video of a stupid song from a patently stupid man who hasn’t been relevant since the early 90s.
The question folks are going to ask: is Snoop D-O-Double ‘G’ really advocating violence against the president?
Probably not. But even if he was, no one would ever be able to prove it to warrant criminal prosecution given the way it’s couched in the middle of a crappy song.
What folks on the right have been pointing out is that not too long ago, Snoop put out a pro-gun control video in which he urged fans do dump retirement portfolios that had stock in firearm and ammunition companies.
“How I’ve been affected by gun violence over the years is through deaths of friends and family members and associates,” Snoop said, in the 2015 PSA themed, “#Unloading.”
“I’m unloading for my loved ones that I lost,” he continued.
So, on one hand, he’s denouncing gun violence and, on the other, he’s shooting the president in the head with a firearm. Now, it should be noted that after the gun fires, it spits out a flag that reads “Bang.” Plus, after the shooting, the clown-faced Trump appears in a subsequent scene where he is tied up in a chain. Maybe, the shooting was meant to be a joke within the narrative of the video. Then again, maybe not.
Anyways, at least one lawmaker has already slammed Snoop, saying that the video isn’t at all funny.
“Snoop shouldn’t have done that,” said Sen. Marco Rubio. “We have had presidents assassinated before in this country, so anything like that you should really be very careful about.”
One can argue that while the Trump scene is troubling, the lyrics of the song are equally offensive. Talk about trying to incite the public and divide America. Here’s just a little taste:
F*ck the police, from a black man’s point of view
Spray that shit, say that shit
We right in front of you, each and everyone of you
I’m not gon’ tell y’all niggas what we gonna do
But whatever y’all did, put two on it
And put a foot on your neck with a shoe on it
Resident evil, it’s all on camera and they still don’t believe you
Clownin’ around, don’t come your clown ass ’round here nigga you gon’ get down
I may be going out on a limb here, but it sounds like Snoop’s not a fan of LEOs. As it relates to the underlying notion in the song that police are running around murdering black men at a record clip, that’s just patently false.
One needs to look no further than a recent study published by Harvard professor Roland G. Fryer Jr. (Yes, he’s a black man). As it relates to LEOs gunning down black men, it states, “On the most extreme use of force – officer-involved shootings – we find no racial differences in either the raw data or when contextual factors are taken into account.”
In other words, police aren’t purposely hunting down and killing black men as some would have you believe. Ultimately, Snoop’s beef with police officers is deeply misguided. But what should we expect? As mentioned, he’s not the sharpest tool in the shed.
White folks commenting on black folks resentments of police violence is funny. The ignorant name calling is childish. As an Old white guy I will never be killed for holding a cell phone or jogging while black. It’s weird that citizens that fight to keep the right to bear arms don’t extend that to the right of people of color to be free of Tyranny. LEO’s are the first line of government tyranny, especially against people of color. A peaceful 2A demonstration is ok but nfl players needing in sadness over murders is an affront to Trump. Pick and choose what rights you want to defend but remember the core is we are all created equal. We are society and if we close our eyes to the first suppressed then no sniveling when they come for your guns and life.
I don’t know where you get your information, but I notice many black gun owners at the gun club/ range where I belong, in Maryland. Black people have been involved in so many violent crimes in this country that they have earned themselves a reputation among law enforcement officers, fair or not, as perhaps a bit higher risk to deal with than “old white guys”. Snoop Dog is a criminal who ostensibly owes his career to like minded individuals who also disrespect society and government officials. You are one of the confused individuals who are part of the problem.
Another overpaid actor who thinks that because he has some money in his pocket, he has something to say worth hearing. Not.
Snoop Dog was nothing but Tupac’s lackey, like Eddie Murphy and Arsenio Hall. Had Tupac lived Snoop would have faded into obscurity.
Because I eat, I defecate in the toilet at least once per day. After I do, I wipe and flush my at least once daily helping of Snoop Dogg where he, it belongs. Toilets are nice. I don’t have any idea who invented them, but it sure beats having to use an outhouse to relieve myself of my…at least once per day…helping of Snoop Dogg.
Next time snoopy is in your town, go whisper that in his ear. I like reading opinions but reading how much you love your bowl movements makes me think you left your brains in the toilet bowl.
The article refers to a Snoop Dogg “song”. The phenomenon known as (c)rap (the “c” is silent and not written, but , nevertheless, very much there) has afflicted us for far too long and has contributed to the decline of American pop music to the point where it cannot be called music in any way, shape or form as it contains no melody, no harmony and only the crudest of rhythm combined with horrific verse that would have to improve enormously to rise to the level of doggerel, so in no way can be referred to as a “song” despite the fools that call it such. It might be called a “number”; I think “number 2” would be appropriate.
Why anyone in their right mind would consider the opinions of such a dedicated (c)rap artist at all relevant to any intelligent discussion is mind=boggling in the extreme. Perhaps that accounts for all the billingsgate expressed in the foregoing comments.
You are totally correct! I cannot understand why anyone would ever want to listen to it, much less spend, even a copper on this stuff called (c)rap. It’s the nearest to nothing that has ever been referrenced as song.. Obviously supported and presented by those with no musical or expressional talent and very little knowledge of proper grammar and sentence formation.
Snoop and Martha Stewart, interesting. Both convicted felons, working together….
F__K that asshole no talent d__ksucker. Somebody needs to shoot him. By him I mean Snoop Dogg. Who in the hell calls them self snoop dog. More like sh_t ass dogg.
First madonna, now this ass hole when are celebrities going to be held accountable for they’re actions? If I advocated harming the president probably no trial just straight to jail! Thank God for the few on our side, Curt Russel, and Ted Nugent and others!
What else would one expect of a hitlary supporter and obama backer? Nuff said!
Why the F are we all talking about Snoop
Dogg? It seriously makes us look like petty fools, one more liberal entertainer… shocking… let’s call him names and whine about his videos instead of putting our energy into protecting our constitutional rights.
Screw Snoop dog and Bow Wow both, low life rapping jigaboos.
Sounds like a premeditated hate crime to me. I almost forgot, it can only be a hate crime according to ex-attorney general Eric Holder, if it is white on black crime.
Who cares what he does , says or thinks? He is a no talent, washed up has-been trying to cash in on Trump bashing to revive his crappy career…just like that big mouth skank Ashley Judd. They are irrelevant.
true soo true, just another no talent bum trying to get some tv time
Snoop Doggy Dog makes me want to rethink my anti-abortion views.
If a man made a vid like this directed at OBOZO he would be so far back in the jail , they would have shoot him beans with a pop gun and pipe in sunlight. When did BULLSHIT become so CoooL?
The dumbing down of America and senseless haters continues. This is the same fool that was charged with murder years ago remember? To say that he is anti gun is a joke on whoever wrote this article.
F–k Snoop Dog.
one day he will have to account for his actions
This is just another sad statement on the nation. We are putting to much effort into the attempts of a stoner has been to get attention that the weak minded people of this nation play into and follow. When we even consider the viewpoints of self absorbed entertainers who would donate a single dollar for a homeless child or veteran because it might affect their vacation we really need to think. More effort needs put forth to expose the media scum for what they are. If it’s so bad please just move to another country .
He gets paid for every click. Don’t bother. His shit’s just about as important as Kanye’s.
But TRUMP can make funny of disabled people HUH fog!! 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂
He never made fun of a disabled person. Do research before you open your pie-hole trap! Trump makes funny movements with his hands when talking and making speeches it just happens that when the disabled person was talking with Trump, Trump made the same hand gestures he always does and the “liberal media” made it out like Trump was making fun of the disabled man. Do your research look at his countless other speeches that proves he was not making fun of the disable person, as you will see his hand movements.
That’s just some dumb crap, he definitely made fun of a disabled person but everyone is saying he didn’t, that’s just typical PC liberal crap, he made fun of someone, so what, everyone does! I thought he we elected him so we didn’t have to deal with this PC B.S. pandering to the left?!?
We can all make funny of YOU!
So standing in front of tree with your PINK LITTLE DEVIL kids on looking is cool stop crying DEMONS and by the SNOOP IS STILL GETTING THAT MONEY
FIRST…..This guy needs a SERIOUS name before being taken seriously….Second….Inciting violence against the president could be taken as a threat…Which is a SERIOUS charge.
I’m a gun owner have been all of my life.
But I have to say turning our country loose with the Asshole we have in charge was a serious mistake.
He has lined our White House with all elitist 1% ers The State Department dismantled the EPA Dismantled The USDA destroyed all records of Animal Abuse and abusers of food laws. They are dismantling our Government right in front of us.
These people don’t give a shit about any of the middle class or poor people in this country. When we see what there really up to it will be to late.
Donald Dump will make America great again like it was back in the early 1900’s when the rich ruled the country, there were no labor laws and people did exactly what the rich told them to do.
Just take a look and the shit hes done already he is a total whack job.
One very concerned American
Christ you’re an illiterate asshole. If you want to impart your thought learn how to read and speak, because it seems you write the way you speak, then others will take the time to read your crap. I couldn’t get past the first two sentences, and I’m being overly generous calling them sentences, before it became obvious that you needed to be informed of you blatant stupidity.
Ignoring his content completely, your double run-on sentences make your post pretty funny 🙂 Work on your grammar before attempting grammar Nazi status.
I realize you feel compelled to defend your lib asshole. But both of you have zero grasp of writing. I am not a “grammar Nazi”. However, I do like to understand what the writer is trying to communicate. You, like your lib asshole friend, wouldn’t know a run-on sentence if you read one. You should research terms before using them. In your case, it would save you from looking like the asshole that you are.
Now slink away and fret over the results of the election. Maybe another joint? The world is better off without Oboy and things of Its ilk.
“All your life”….your ass hurts due to constipation and it apparently has backed up all the way to your pea-brain. Cut of those disgusting stringy corn-rows, use your Affirmative Action privilege to get a job, and for God’s sake wipe Poop-Dog’s jizz off your chin.
Donald dump commenter sounds like a poor boy without a pot to piss in,,crying foul because he’s about to have to get a real job,no more Liberal gravy train,Trump won because the country gave you bleeding heart Liberals the finger,and better hold on to your welfare check,,it’s gonna get pretty bumpy for you Libs now that you powerless to do ANYTHING,,LOL..Trump controls it all,,LOL..ENJOY,
No he is not… your favorite “Barack Hussein” president did that the last eight years he was in the White House. Libtard… sell your crazy to someone else.
Since when do we allow Anti-American liberals in here?
Thank you for telling the truth
Is it safe to assume you would rather have Hit-liary in the potus seat? Shut up dweeb.
Dear Donald Dump. With your post, you have demonstrated a serious lack of education, perhaps even a lack of intelligence.
He’s a has been trying to come again! No such luck!
If someone would have done this when we had the half-black asshole as President the S.S. would have been knocking down their door with an arrest warrant but because this stupid asshole is black we can’t offend them, it might be racist……….
REALLY I GUESS you didn’t see nor hear the disrespect for 8 years how ABOUT ,600 years you PINK DEMONS
Another fucking idiot heard from, I guess coherent sentences are above you.
You have to pull your head out from your ass to see the truth of light, better yet keep it stuck up there, waste of good oxygen.
Another self-absorbed ‘artist’ acting out. It’s scary that hillary voters actually pay attention to this guy and there will be a financial return generated this video. I really love wrap music though. Wrapp music just gets my blood pumping. Nothing I love better than the amplified back beat of a vegetable canning factory. Further, I just can’t tell you how much I appreciate the cultural allure of rappe music too. It’s a pheromonal art form.
Your MADD PINKY
… I think that Bob Barker should have clipped this Mad Snoop Dog when he was in his prime because you can’t fix stupid…!!!
