Yea ok didn't know crimes was in the titleWhat is this sickness to always link something Black to the most degenerate of behavior.
19 Crimes? Over a million words in our language and they had to go with "Crimes." Why?
Just like when election time hits, it's ALWAYS the black vote getting attached to jail reform.
Like fukkin damn, there's so many of us who's never even had 1 close family member enslaved in the penitentiary system, don't identify with being urban terrorists, have amazing moral systems passed down and refined through generations, yet have to live with the stigma of Black popular culture continuously getting linked to the worst elements of society.
Fukk.

And if they wanted to play off Snoop's old "gangsta" image just name it "19 Shots" since shots is also associated with liquor consumption. It ain't much better, but I can at least appreciate the play on words in that case.

shyt is disgusting"Dream but stay woke".. Written on the blackboard.
With a straight face,, somebody also wrote "Black owned products" on that blackboard in the display
I track food industry stories, and who owns what, and which celebs have equity vs endorsement deals. It's an Australian company. They have products named for celebs, that they probably pay licensing fees for, but doubt that 19 Crimes is Black owned. Definitely NOT owned by Snoop, as the display implies

Reaching here. I'm not even in the generation that listens to drill, but there is no comparison.
EVERYBODY who enters that market sees the display, from the babies to the Elders. Disrespecting every one of them.
Bunch of 20year olds on a dancefloor and not leaving when a drill song comes on is NOT comparable to this.
19 Crimes has been around for some time, breh. I managed a liquor store for years and the brand was there some 6-7 years ago. Its name has to do with Australia being a penal colony. Decent stuff for the price tbhBreh breh, if Martha had collaborated on this with Justin Timberlake, you think the word "Crimes" shows up on that bottle?

Not doubting you, but I ain't never heard of it until today and I know my way around a liquor store.
Breh is going overboard with the respectability politics, but seeing the picture of the store, that shyt was in bad taste. I'm also wondering who the fukk would feel compelled to buy red wine from Snoop Dogg? Wine should be a quality product, not something some company buys for cheap and then pays a celebrity to slap their name onA crip selling red wine
*An in-store display of Snoop Dogg’s Cali Red Wine was removed from a Kroger supermarket in Peachtree City, Ga. after several customers allegedly complained that it was inappropriate.
According to WSB-TV Channel 2, shoppers said it was stereotypical to sell Snoop's Cali Red wine during Black History Month.
"I just felt that it was offensive," customer Johnnie Jones, a former president of the local NAACP, told WSB-TV Channel 2.
"They really promoting alcohol. Proud of drinking wine? No. We're proud of the Tuskegee Airmen whose shoulders I stand on. We need to be thirsty for knowledge," Jones told the station .
Kroger reportedly received multiple complaints about the Snoop Dogg wine display.
The corporate offices said in a statement: "Kroger is committed to diversity, equity and inclusion in all we do. Our intentions are never meant to be offensive."

Snoop Dogg and 19 Crimes' first collaboration was the Snoop Cali Red, which was the number one-selling wine innovation of 2020. They launched Snoop Cali Rosé in 2021, making it the first California rosé for the brand and the second collaboration with the hip-hop icon, according to a news release.
Snoop Cali Rosé is a blend of Grenache and Zinfandel. The rapper previously shared his excitement about it in a statement, saying: "We did it big with 19 Crimes Cali Red, so you know we had to do it again – and this time, I was thinking pink. I can't wait for everyone to sip on my Snoop Cali Rosé and bring those fresh feels from spring into summer and beyond. I hope when you open a bottle of this wine you take a little mind trip to my Cali home. This is how we Rosé the Snoop Dogg way!”

It was the Black history sign more than anything. The store probably did that shyt.
