Snoop has always been a greedy little goblin, riding whatever will fill his pockets. He was just the one that survived the 90s and commercialized himself.

u/Silent-G 15d ago

People always forget that he hosted one of the Girls Gone Wild videos and settled a lawsuit that alleged he had offered drugs to underage girls.

u/JohnnyHendo 15d ago

Didn't he also admit to having been an actual pimp way after he had gotten famous in like the early to mid 2000s for a year or two?

u/sourdieselfuel 15d ago

Hell, he also killed someone and got off on self defense or some shit. He's always been garbage.

u/tdunkatx 15d ago

Murder was the case that they gave him

u/Financial_Cup_6937 15d ago

Not that he wasn’t guilty, but you can plausibly believe he wasn’t or there were at least mitigating circumstances if not cut-and-dry self-defense.

There’s no best-case-scenario where he wasn’t a scumbag being a pimp.

I don't know anything about Snoop or what happened, but I realistically feel like in 1993 a Black man in America would not just get off with self defense unless it was exceptionally clear. Was he already cartoonishly famous at the time?

u/your_fave_redditor 14d ago

He was pretty famous already, yeah, but definitely not the hip and cool household name that he is today.

News reporters still did that thing you can find on old video where they pronounced his name all uncool / “white” sounding, (Snoop Doggy DAWG) like they were confused how a grown ass man could even have such a name.

Back then he was “just” an up and coming gangster rapper, a young thug turned celebrity, barely an adult, riding Dre’s coattails, etc.

So yeah, they definitely COULD have convicted him, he wasn’t so big a star he could just get off because of who he was, which is practically impossible anyway if you’re a Black man in America…he would have been convicted if the evidence had been there.

Shit the DA woulda loved it, but sadly for the prosecutor’s office they couldn’t make their case. Thank goodness we have a court system to (hopefully) require prosecutors to prove charges, and sometimes they can and sometimes they can’t.

People not only don't forget that he wrote an entire song about wanting to brutally murder the mother of his child, they defend him for it. And then he went on to make several more songs glorifying and defending the abuse of women. Even did a song with Dre making fun of him beating the shit out of a woman.

It’s not his fault they were little sluts.

Woah woah woah this is a family subreddit

Snoop and Shaq will never turn down a paycheck. Very disappointing.

52

u/Bored_Amalgamation 15d ago

Then you'll see comments saying "gotta respect the hustle". Like, no. Fuck that.

Shaq has promoted credit cards, shitty car insurance, high sugar candy, gambling, surveillance equipment (ring), Papa Johns, fucking Nestle.

Snoop has promoted gambling, weed, alcohol, loan companies.

It's a disgusting level of greed.

14

u/JohnnyFatSack 15d ago

Shaq is friends with Kash Patel, FBI, and our police state.

u/Mrs_shitthisismylife 15d ago

This eye opening, and ANY time Nestle is mentioned is bad bad. So yeah hard agree fuck them both.

u/ZombiePartyBoyLives 15d ago

The Shaq A Licious XL gummies are pretty good tho. Plus, you get to bite Shaq's head in half.

u/stocksandoptions2 15d ago

Shaq is on every commercial.

u/So_Falls_the_World 15d ago

Came here to say this. Snoop is like, the absolute greediest little sellout. Who the fuck cares about him? It's so obvious.

u/unfettled 15d ago

For real. No tears for Snoop, nephew

36

u/Reasonable-Job4205 15d ago

Fo rizzle. Fuck that guy

44

u/pandemicpunk 15d ago

He was a literal pimp. I don't know why people expect anything less. He just does it to himself now.

13

u/jwf91 15d ago

I remember when he was Reddit’s darling. The tide has well and truly turned.

u/LowResGamr 14d ago

There is also a theory that he was connected to the death of Tupac.

u/MisunderstoodPenguin 14d ago

man has a call of duty skin.

u/sillyslime89 15d ago

Snoop? The guy who was a pimp for minor prostitutes is a bad guy and maga!?

42

u/Dry_Search7009 15d ago

I went to one of his concerts once luckily I didn’t pay for it. He was about an hour late, even though they were already there then there was a large intermission where he sold people the opportunity to take a picture with him, and it was giving Carnie so hard.

u/Organic-Doctor4154 15d ago

Hmm... The former gang member who openly flaunted he was an actual pimp who may have murdered a guy isn't a good person... I'm shocked!

u/Noctisvah 15d ago

Well, weed is expensive. What’s a brother gotta do?

u/BlackOutDrunkJesus 15d ago

> the one that survived the 90s and commercialized himself

Well, ice cube, who was also mentioned in the comment you’re replying to, did both of those things as well

u/StaleCanole 14d ago

Why is everyone using the term goblin these days? Did this trend start with AI?

1

u/Bored_Amalgamation 14d ago

What trend does AI start? No. It's anime and other fantasy stuff becoming more main stream. He also resembles the physical and existential characteristics of a goblin.

What are you even talking about? What defense?
