For the latest episode of The Breakdown, host Page Kennedy takes a look at Snoop Dogg’s lucrative career in the advertising world.
Over the past couple of months, the D-O-Double-G has appeared in commercials for Dunkin’ Donuts, General Insurance and Tostitos (alongside his Snoop & Martha’s Potluck Dinner Party co-host Martha Stewart).
Kennedy asks, “How has Snoop been able to sell everything without selling out?”
For nearly 12 minutes, Kennedy revisits Snoop’s journey from teenage rapper to household name.
Watch the episode up top.
But he did sell out here alotta those pop hits
What the fuck
he did sell out…. “you going to vegas cuz” …..
Dumb. This site is a sell out
I loved Snoop on the first Chronic and his first album Doggystyle. From gangster rap – he completely watered down his name.
Good luck to him though.
Oh he sold out all right but what you expect him to still bang & sell soap? If I’m doing prono movies, smoking herb all day, kicking it with gorilla junkie P I m ps from the 70s & advertisers still throwing me money well duh, I’m amazed at companies that use him for marketing but get that bag
Not hating on him, let him do his thing, but Snoop is the blueprint for selling out. He’ll try anything and throw his name to it for a buck. Musically he’s tried multiple lanes, this rasta version being the latest, that sensual seduction before that. As a rapper he’s not much of an MC, hasn’t been for decades now. One second he’s making cupcakes with Martha Stewart, the next he’s a ganster talking that life trying to praise Nippsey. When Nip was alive I didn’t notice the support then, not sure if he ever brought him on tour, I know Game did. I just think he knows he’s a marketing brand at this point, and again I don’t hate on that, he’s exploiting whatever presents itself. But I don’t consider him much of a music artist anymore, there’s no integrity or artistry left on that front.
Nipsey and Snoop use to hang out all the time. U need to stop reading what social media is putting out there for u read.
Idiotic comment. Snoop done songs with Nipsey. Snoop had Nipsey on his GGN show. Snoop hung out with nipsey. Snoop gave eulogy at nipsey funeral for a reason because he was likely chosen to do so. Snoop got history with nip. Comment is baseless without facts.
I can’t believe Crip trash like Snoop has made it into the mainstream. He might be a fake Crip or he might be really affiliated, but he is still a tool getting those checks to turn little boys into gangbangers and little girls into thots. For years that’s all that moron promoted. Now he argues with old ladies and threatens them online only to cry later and apologize. This guy is a joke.
????????☻??☠?
First of all, u don’t know anything about Snoop.
He’s one of few gangster rappers that have a pop warner football and cheerleaders for children to stay out of trouble. Do your research ‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️Get your facts straight ??
Literally hiphops biggest sellout lol
That’s jay z but I understand the sentiment.
LOL, honestly he has sold himself out so many times that when you see footage of old snoop you ask yourself how….I can’t think of an artist who sold out more tbh
This is a joke right? He’s been a sellout since day 1! ?
I like Snoop but he’s the example I would use for a sellout in hip hop. That’s not meant as an insult, eventually all success artists do some sellout shit at some point. Just how it.
Having to even make this means he sold out.m,but honestly every blacks person is a sell out I. The system of white supremacy.
If ya don’t like life in America, then move to a majority black country lol. See if you actually prefer it (you won’t. Us Americans are extremely spoiled, including our poor) . Our poor are fatter than our rich… A poor person on welfare in America has a bigger shopping cart than the average full time worker does.
You sound just like Trump
What the hell does that have to do with this conversation?? Won’t you go back to a European country ? GTFOOH!
Snoop lion ?
He sold out a long time ago
And Snoop is a snitch
he sold even tupac’s life.
Stupid Ass Site TFOH
Lmao .. garbage article .. Snoop is one of the pioneers of rappers selling out .. he went from dissing Hammer for his Pepsi commercials and cartoons, then started doing Sprite commercials back in 98 .. infact, he joined No Limit Records back when Master P was advertising every brand he could .. Nowadays, it’s common for rappers to appear in commercials, but never forget Snoop, Puffy, Master P, Fat Joe & Nas were the ones that popularized selling out by doing those Sprite commercials in the early 2000s .. Snoop is the epitome of selling out ..
He’s pimpin the system homie
Accurate! and well said!
Did Rock with Snoop early on because he dissed Eazy-E and I was against dissing West Coast Founders . But Snoop brought in a fashion of crippin before it was fashionable to do he was the first rapper besides MC Hammer that was beloved by both white and black folks his style is just as good if not better then he used to be he has surpassed Death Row Records and still to this day gets great production on all of his albums check them out before y’all hate. I give him props and I’m from the other side
Yall talking shit. Is it because yall want his fame? His money? The man is just doing the smart thing…..MAKING A LEGAL LIVING!
Preach!!
Yes, by selling out!!!
Now days Snoop is just a “businessman” or you can call him a “buisness”…..man!” Still a dope line by Iceberg Slim.
But seriously Snoop is trying to be grown these days which is fine, but as some have pointed out that his younger days he was going at others for making these moves as rappers who “were selling out”.
Every real man would do whatever they can to give his family whatever they wanted, but as a fan I can’t defend him when he’s wearing an apron on tv cooking in the kitchen with Martha Stewart.
Now every rapper thinks it’s ok to follow those footsteps and that’s when I stop buying albums. Music becomes a “thing” or something they do every so often after that. Acting, reality tv, etc. They vanish like they were voted MVP of hip hop or left with the title around their waste.
Just slow it down some. That’s all. Please because I see too many personalities from rappers I grew up to like Snoop Lion, I mean Snoop Dogg.
Thank you
Yo this is for my boy Snoop this Detroit Snoop I got something to make you huge and big man if you give me a contact bro guarantee great Investments you ever did you need to holler at me
“Without Selling Out” yeah right.
Snoop Dogg been a sell out. He sold out when he choose to be friends with P. Diddy while Tupac was beefing. Plus Snoop wheres female handbags, finger nail polish and get his hair done at the same place as your granny.
When nobody agrees with you but you can’t delete comments because it would’ve seemed like nobody reads your shit.
This is a joke right… Another man who likes wearing women’s clothing..dude been sold out
This guys a snitch. Loved him then but not really now.
Not really that hard as I thought. Compared to 2pac.
First of all snoop is a booger ?
Girl sit down ..
Ok. How’s being hard working out for 2pac?
Pac is the voice of a generation. Snoop is more like court jester. Funny, sure but never ever taken seriously.
Snoop the biggest sell-out and in hip hop(and hypocrite too.). Closely followed by the Black Eyed Peas
Stop hating
Explain to me how doing commercials or even a show with Martha Stewart selling out? Glorifying violence in our own communities and glamorizing a criminal lifestyle is what’s selling out. Especially when your old enough to know better.
Well Snoop does both. And one minute he’s saying to put the guns down and the next he’s talking bout he a supercrip. He’s a hypocrite and confused dude..
Facts ?
That’s Facts bro
What is your point? We hating on a man because he making commercials whaaaatttt?
Saying someone is selling out is poor people and hater talk. Would you rather be rich from Sprite or cartoon money or “keep it real” on a 9-5 making minimum wage?
Jealousy is a hell of a drug.
Snoop’s Condoms
I thought he sold out years ago?
At in the end of the day …BLACK HV TO UNITE.. Were all selling out….By supporting anything that doesn’t help our agenda
Think about that CHARACTER S
Snoop i s the realest fih hands down????
Hating on someone for making money is petty change your life make your own money an stop being so bitter … I bet every hater will jump on a house if Trump said he was paying so just let people be thats part of the problem with this country now worring about others instead of yourself
What constitute a sellout? Would you rather him to be gang banging, hmmm?
Host is pretty annoying
