HipHopDX caught up with Snoop Dogg at this week’s premiere of Sean “Diddy” Combs’ Can’t Stop, Won’t Stop documentary and the Long Beach legend offered some clarification on the “Moment I Feared” visual.
When asked about the video, which appears to take aim at Atlanta rapper Young Thug, Snoop explained he isn’t poking fun of anyone and has “respect” for what the younger generation of Hip Hop artists are doing.
He also referred to Thugger as his “nephew” and spoke on his contribution to Jeffery rapper’s Beautiful Thugger Girls album.
“Nah, I ain’t poking fun at nobody,” Snoop Dogg told DX. “It’s a video. I’m acting in the video. The director directed it. It’s just a video. It could be a number of people. It’s a lot of people it could be. But it’s just me letting people know that I respect what the youngsters are doing. This is what they do. How they do it. I respect that.”
Snoop also discussed what unintentionally became a laughing point in the Tupac Shakur biopic, All Eyez On Me. At several points throughout the film, the lines delivered by Jarrett Ellis, the actor who played Snoop, were overdubbed with Snoop’s voice.
Snoop, who later doted on the film, says he was merely trying to provide his assistance in any way possible by creating the voice-over.
“I wanted to make sure that anything as far as my participation with the Tupac movie, I was just willing to help because that was my homeboy,” he said. “And I just wanted to make sure that they needed something from me, they could call on me. And I came through for them. That’s what they needed. That’s all they needed. So I gave ’em what they wanted.
“I loved the movie,” he added. “I thought it was dope. The creative side of it. Showing where he came from.”
I’d expect this type of coward shit from an Uncle Tom like Snoop
Take a stance! The younger generation this video depicts IS THE PROBLEM!!! There are some dope newer cats so it’s not just a generational thing. It boils down to authenticity and music that actual GOOD! Young thug, Yachty, uzi, Kodak, all them are WACK. Drill is wack. Trap is wack. Can’t convince me otherwise. No originality. Grow a pair, Snoop!!!
Imagine if Jay Z said some stupid mess like this after releasing Death to Autotune. “No, I wasn’t talking about nobody. I respect auto tune.” Snoop is a faker, a phony, and can’t stand by his own convictions. If it really was the crips that killed his boy Pac, why wasn’t he vocal about them. Blaming it on suge. If it was the crips, Snoop would chose them over Pac. Snoop is the real wanksta
Snoop sold his soul a long time ago and of course the video is not about young clown thug he is true member of the fruit loop troop who control the entertainment world snoop carrying a purse and French tip nails and skirt we all know whats up Nephew
*DJ Vlad. my aporogies for the typo.
No matter how much you dislike a person or disagree with them, you can’t always speak your opinion in public like that. It’s called respect
Pac was right SNOOP IS A STRAIGHT UP BITCH!
