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.
I'm not saying that this is the way it should be, or even that I agree with it. Simply that this is the way it is.
And also, that if Snoop grew up in it like he is alleged to... then he knows thats the way it is as well.
Gangbanging is not fair, but it is surprising organized and structured in terms of knowing what you can and cannot should and should not do.
Now, once fame and power allow you to believe exceptions should be made for you... these situations may arise as in Snoop's case. But the problem is not that he hasn't done enough for the hood, its that he is still claiming the hood. As long as he claims it they will expect him to pay as they see him claiming it as a part of his success.
He voiced his opinion recently. I saw it on worldstar.
But its not a matter of him being right or not.
He is trying to combat hood rules with logic, fairness, and other types of politics that are simply out of place in a seniority based structure like a gang.
Thats my take.
Also, as a side note... regarding Mac10. I am 5 mins from Inglewood, walking. I know cats from Inglewood Fam that have said they would tax him if they saw him. So its not so much that he owes them, as it is that they feel he owes them. And you can't really argue with a persons feelings cause its not really based on numbers and reasoning.
and thats how the convo came up with them being like 
on Mac 10. But IDK if they were serious, and I don't know where he is actually from.
