Snoop Dogg may not be a Republican, but even he’s critical of Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion’s chart-topping “WAP” single.
The 49-year-old Doggfather was a recent guest on Julissa Bermudez’s Central Ave show and while he recognized how 20 years ago he would have been down with the movement, he’s not too much a fan of the sexually-charged record.
“Oh my God. Slow down. Like, slow down and let’s have some imagination,” Snoop said of the track. “Let’s have some, you know, privacy, some intimacy where he wants to find out as opposed to you telling him.”
He continued, “To me it’s like, it’s too fashionable when that in secrecy, that should be a woman’s…that’s like your pride and possession. That’s your jewel of the Nile. That’s what you should hold onto. That should be a possession that no one gets to know about until they know about it.”
The D-O-Double-G cited being a father of a 21-year-old daughter as a prime reason for his line of thinking regarding the platinum-selling single.
“My daughter is from a different era, though,” Snoop said. “She’s from this era. She may be doing the ‘Wap’ or, you know what I’m saying, a part of the ‘Wap,’ but I can’t be mad at her ’cause it’s her generation, you know what I’m saying? But, at the same time, the things that I would rather see, you know, ’cause I’ma older man…”
He added, “Now, when I was young, 21, 22, I may have been with the movement. I probably would have been on the remix. But as an older man, I love it, that they are expressing themselves and doing their thing. I just don’t want it that fashionable to where young girls express themselves like that without even knowing that that is a jewel that they hold onto until the right person comes around.”
Snoop has been promoting sex in his music since 1993’s “Ain’t No Fun”from his mammoth debut album, Doggystyle. Since then, it’s become a more than common part of his arsenal, from music to outside ventures and live performances. In 2001, he partnered with Larry Flynt to release Snoop Dogg’s Doggystyle, the first pornographic film to ever chart on Billboard‘s video sales chart and in 2018, the University of Kansas was forced to apologize following a Snoop Midnight Madness-style concert where dancers were found performing on a stripper pole.
Cardi B Calls Fans Rapping 'WAP' Outside The White House A 'Victory': 'Power Of The Pussy, Ya Heard'
The response to “WAP” has been widely documented as a sore spot for conservative pundits and critics, while others have hailed the song as one of the best of 2020. Last month, following Joe Biden’s defeat of Donald Trump in the 2020 election, Cardi fans began singing the song outside of the White House in celebration of Trump’s impending exit.
Snoop is a typical hypocrite!
I highly agree
lol is he just hypocrital or just becoming an old man?
if he actually was producing porn how can he talk like this about that song?
Laughable hypocrisy. Hang on, did somebody say Just Eat?!?!
Snoop is an old man now. He hosted porn videos back in the day. These are the same dudes that say stop the violence and at the same time rap about violence. It is what it is.
Back in the day we was b****** and hoes when we brace our sexuality now it’s a problem cuz that’s what y’all want w a p so now since that’s women are singing about their own bodies and getting paid it’s a problem. Men and can say what we do to them but we can’t say what we got double standard
STFU you same bitches and hoes need to hold ya self to a standard dnt be out here talkn about ya pussy just dnt hit the same as when a nigha do it stay in ya lane
You got no business trying to rap anyway. Put the mic down and get your non rhyming ass back in the kitchen. There’s men out here that need sandwiches.
You may not agree with him but you can at understand where he’s coming from. You hear this a lot from rappers when they get older they start to look back on what they did when they were younger and start to regret some of it. NOT ALL BUT SOME.
Woman have 0 creativness. Theyve been brought up using sex or their looks 2 get w.e they want. Theyve never had 2 think b4. Asking them 2 be creative is never gonna happen
snoop must not own a mirror magic don juan p i m p geez hypocrite much, i dont care at all for it listened to it once and will never again, it is what it is, thats what the machine pushing no one intelligent is gonna listen to it and theyll have a new wap next year hope she buys some land other than that she got her millions so let the hood rat strippers get they bag its been long overdue, same as snoop at 17-24 those were my types then i moved on up and they stayed the same cant even spend a min convo with em without wanting to blow my head off but plenty do
Use some punctuation next time, and you won’t come off like a complete dumbass.
Y’all calling Snoop a hypocrite but if y’all paid attention 2 the article he said he has a 21 year old daughter now back then before he had kids he would have praised the song
Our generation and culture today would call anything hip hop! WAP really… why even have a discussion over 2 females that cannot rap. Be serious people! They are not true MCs…. why even bother to give it more attention. WAP hahahahahaha! What a joke? I do not care how much it sells!!! It is straight garbage!!! Be real folks… this is teenagers music and fat old people that try to be teenagers. Trash!!!
