    1. Snoop was my fav rapper when I first got into hip hop at like 12/13 its a shame how he has become such a walking joke these days terrible rhymes (don’t even think he writes them anymore) and would sell sheets for the KKK if they gave him a check.That hot pockets commercial he did was fuckin embarrassing

      There should be a ban on talking bout Dre till detox drops

      1. Relax bro. No one is immortal and full of energy for ever. Artists rise and artists fall. Get over it.

        Snoop had a long ass run. He been in the game for over 20 years. Of course he ain’t the rapper he was or as hungry as he was in his younger days. Just appreciate the fact he still does music and quit whining like a bitch, it won’t change shit.

      2. Please niggas just put out bullshit music don’t care bout the bars. Theres plenty rappers still rhyme as good now as when they started Jadakiss Styles P Beanie Sigel Kool G Rap Eminem Nas Ghostface Killah……….Snoop just stopped giving a fuck

    2. no as kid 11 to 18 if you even acted up school ect oh your going to juvnalie hall or youth detion they say for 90 days
