As a white guy barreling towards middle-age, naturally I decided to go solo to a Snoop Dogg show at Terminal 5 Monday night. After printing my ticket, I noticed the Doggfather was sharing top-billing with Wiz Khalifa. I don’t know a lot about Wiz but figured he’ll do a few songs and bow out to Snoop, right? Read more »
Artist/collagist extraordinaire Artist Jason Mecier makes mixed-media pieces from pieces of garbage, candy, electronic junk, yarn, whatnot with striking likenesses to Donald Trump, Andy Warhol, Anna Nicole Smith and whonot. This particular $1,500 Snoop specimen is made of joints, loose weed, etc., and looks like it took a lot of work and self-control. (Click to enlarge) Read more »
Lance Armstong said he’s retiring (again) after this year’s Tour de France, but this time he means it! The grueling race begins in a few days and in the meantime, Snoop Dogg made this rather surprisingly bizarre send off video for the cycling great.
The all-seeing lens of TMZ captured video footage of Snoop’s recent hip hop philanthropy on the Lower East Side.
Snoop Dogg, last seen kicking it with Mike Tyson and the cast of Jersey Shore, was a guest on the Colbert Report last night, where he explained to Stephen how his being a “stoner” is totally legit because he’s got a prescription from a doctor for his weed. He then performed a new track off his latest record. Read more »
This pic of Snoop Dogg and Mike Tyson hanging with Snooki, The Situation, J-Woww and Pauly-D from Jersey Shore was taken backstage at the Spike TV video game awards over the weekend. Good lord this is awesome.
In other Snoop news, he’s is making a guest-starring appearance on an upcoming episode of One Life to Live. The man gets around. |Via Getty|
Poster ads out of Cairo by Lowe Egypt for H2O Audio waterproof iPod cases. Snoop’s surfer caricature is totally (sorry) The Shizzle. The Material Girl’s is…yikes!…not at all flattering. As obsessed as Madonna is with her image, this mocking image by illustrator Mohamed Algendy would not please her Madgesty. Maybe her wishy-washy devotion to Kabbalah is in play here? I’m certain the agency didn’t get Madonna’s or Snoop’s permission to use their likenesses in these ads. Ms Ciccone’s legal sharks—move in for the kill! Previously in unauthorized use of music celebrities in ads: Israeli travel agency foresees the death of Sir Paul McCartney. And Amy Winehouse reincarnated as a sheep. |Images: Ad Blog Arabia|
Yesterday, Snoop Dogg posed with his wax twin at Madame Tussaud’s unveiling in Las Vegas. The weed-loving twitterer is not just the third rapper in the museum’s collection of wax figures, but the only living one as he joins Biggie Smalls and Tupac Shakur. |Woooha|
With many of the media networks spinning the Imus thing back into the face of black America and adding Hip Hop to the mix, Snoop chimed in on the difference between him using the word ‘ho’ and Imus:
“[Rappers] are not talking about no collegiate basketball girls who have made it to the next level in education and sports. We’re talking about ho’s that’s in the ‘hood that ain’t doing shit, that’s trying to get a nigga for his money. These are two separate things.”
Plus the media and resulting public’s knee-jerk assumption that rappers should adhere to the same code of conduct and decency as a nationally syndicated and rapidly aging radio personality is not only absurd, but frightening ignorant. Amazingly the media successfully uses it as a media technique to redirect and ignore the real issues, get more ratings, and instead spin this thing even further down the drain than it already is.
