Helping select ppl from the hood is not the same thing as helping the hood.
Didn't say he didn't help anyone. He helped lots of his cousins and buddies. But there the r20s clearly don't seem to care because they are not his cousins and pals. They are the franchise whose image he is eating off of.
If he grew up in that then like I said he knows better. He is just so far removed from the everyday that he thinks the rules don't apply to him.
In many cases they don't. He can smoke weed wherever he wants on mainstream outlets and no one seems to care... but the hood is fickle. Can't play those games with mfers with little to lose. If all they feel they have is respect and they think you are disrespecting them that quickly becomes volatile.
nope. completely disagree. how many people in the hood am i supposed to help? snoop is rich. but he doesnt have endless funds. on top of that HE WORKED FOR IT. them other dudes standing on the block until their 50... i mean at what point do they say ***hits chest a few times...*** It's on me...It's on me.
stop acting like snoop is some white boy from the burbs that drove thru the hood one day asked to shoot a video in 20's hood, then made up his entire persona off of that video.
Was snoop a real hood nucca?YEP
This automatically gives him stripes to talk about whatever hood ish he chooses.
Was snoop an actual Long Beach CRIP?
YEP.
This automatically gives him the strips to talk about anything LBC and Cripping he so well chooses.
like snoop said. If there was no snoop. There would be no LBC to the world. No one outside of long beach cared about long beach until snoop said "LONNNNNNNG BEEEEEEACH"
i dont think you get it.
Everyone would claim L.A. or Compton. Dudes from the IE was claiming L.A. or Compton. Dudes from West Covina was claiming L.A. or Compton.
you probably had clowns in bakersfield going hard, claiming L.A. or Compton.
Mac 10 claimed Inglewood. he put the WOOOOD on the map. does he owe ING Family anything? NOPE.
No one was claiming long beach. snoop aint the first rapper to spit from the beach. he's the first one to CLAIM IT loud and proud. he could've easily said COMPTON and kept it moving. he was with dre and people think EastSide... CPT LBC thats not that far right? Sure it is. but no one that doesnt know any better even cares.
and listen i wont even go in on the old hood dudes. you know why. because i actually know why they believe snoop or anyone else owes them something. if it wasnt for that racism white supremacy holding their ancestors down, holding their parents down, they would've never been on the block banging to begin with. which means they probably wouldnt care about a hand out like that anyway. they would professionals making a good living for themselves and their families without doing it illegally to boot. So yeah, i know that racism has brainwashed them and me too in to believing everyone owes you something. even your own brotha. because what you really want to say you cant say which is white folks owe us. not snoop. no Daz. not any other old hood rapper.
