Snoop Dogg’s Latest Drug Problems

Missy — Wed, 13 May 2009 12:19:25 +0000

Rapper Snoop Dogg has a long history of arrests for marijuana infractions, among other sorted activities. This time Snoop was staying at the Norfolk Plaza Hotel in Virgina when the staff received a suspicious package addressed to one of the singer’s crew members and decided to phone police.

Authorities began monitoring that package and then showed up to arrest the recipient for misdemeanor marijuana possession. Lucky for the crewman, the rapper showed up to take the fall. He simply flashed his medical marijuana card and stated that the goods were intended for him.

Apparently these were not dumb cops because they arrested the crew member despite Snoop Dogg’s enlightenment and are continuing their investigation. What exactly IS wrong with Snoop that he has a medical marijuana card?

Snoop Dogg Cleared in Civil Assault Lawsuit

Missy — Mon, 11 May 2009 09:57:08 +0000

Back in 2005 rapper Snoop Dogg aka Calvin Broadus was performing at the White River Amphitheater in Seattle, Washington when a fan decided to join Snoop on stage. That fan, Richard Monroe, Jr. filed a $22 million lawsuit alleging that he was severely beat by the rapper and his entourage.

Monroe said that Snoop hit him in the head with his microphone after he jumped on stage and put his hand on the rapper’s shoulder. We hate to say it but we might have been tempted to give him a little knock on the head too! Anyway, Monroe said he was then taken off the stage and received a beating at the hands of Snoops security guards.

Snoop did show up for part of the trial to testify against Monroe, but was not present for the final ruling. The judge cleared Snoop of any wrongdoing but did grant the victim a sum of $449,400 in damages because he felt the security boys were heavy handed in escorting the man out of the building. The money will be paid by Broadus’ label Doggystyle, rapper Soopafly and other unnamed parties.

What do you think? Should a security team have the right to throttle a renegade fan, if he resists their efforts to remove him from the premises?

Snoop Dogg One of Many Artist to Remix Johnny Cash Hits

Missy — Fri, 03 Apr 2009 10:09:46 +0000

Rap artist Snoop Dogg is set to remix I Walk the Line, originally sung by the late Johnny Cash. Snoop isn’t the only artist interested in reshaping the country legend’s music. Beyonce’s father Mathew Knowles and Cash’s son John Carter Cash are working on the project and have engaged other modern hip-hop and R&B stars to add their sounds to an album.

Johnny’s family are all in favor of the remix album. In fact John had this to say about the project:

“My father made his stead defying the expected and accepted way of things. He set the standard at the same time. He would have loved this remix record. While it stays true to the original recordings, the CD touches on uncovered ground. My father was about staying true to tradition while creating groundbreaking music.”

Other Cash hits that will be featured on the album include, Get Rhythm, Leave That Junk Alone, Folsom Prison Blues and Rock Island Line.

We wonder if Joaquin Phoenix will appear on the CD? He had a role in the movie Walk the Line, not to mention that fact that he’s a rapper now!

Check out a Johnny Cash performance of I Walk the Line below.

Snoop Dogg says he could have spared Eliot Spitzer public humiliation. Snoop, who was once a pimp, says if Spitzer had come to him he would have provided the governor with “somebody real discreet who wouldn’t expose his game and he’d still be able to be client number nine.”

Snoop Dogg also talks about his new CD, Ego Trippin’, his medical marijuana use, his reality show, “Fatherhood,” his clothing lines, his wife, whom he calls his “backbone,” and his youth football league, with the ladies from The View.

Snoop Dogg Gives J-Lo Parenting Advice

Missy — Thu, 28 Feb 2008 12:21:04 +0000

Father Hood star Snoop Dogg, is offering up a little parenting advice to new mother Jennifer Lopez and suggested, “One baby at a time.” Jennifer and her husband/musican Marc Anthony just became parents of twins, they were blessed with a boy and a girl.

“Parents are teachers. These are people who have knowledge and wisdom and they’re trying to pass it on to you. When they give you that, even if you don’t like it or understand it – take it in for what it’s worth because one day you’ll hear that voice again and you’ll be able to make a decision.”

Wow, sounds like pretty sound advice to me. I think I may use that and pretend that I made it up. I have to admit I watch Snoops reality show and I am not sure what it is about him – but I have a strange liking for the Dogg. While I don’t doubt that he is a good dad, being arrested on the street corner for drug possession nags at me. Maybe Snoop could work on that.

Just when you think you know a little bit about someone, it all changes. Snoop Dogg evidently has a love for the soap opera One Life to Live and wants to write a new theme song for the daytime drama.

The shows supervising music director, Paul Glass said “I am a huge fan of Snoop and I would love to hear what he’d come up with.” So it looks like time will tell if the daytime drama will make the switch to rap.
