yeah, I'm the agent for pointing out the irony in Snoop being upset about Black people being depicted as slaves when he's built an entire career on peddling destructive music to Black people.
Other than a couple of Albums, all of which are nearly from 20 Years ago. Albums and Songs that typically had a back story to them..... What exactly are you talking about? And why are you overlooking everything else that Snoop has done and still does?
Do you even know who Snoop Dogg is?

Why is he all of a sudden conscious now when 2pac was schoolin' him back on death row. Why didn't he pick up where Tupac left off?

This is that bs I don't understand. There already is a Roots a Roots series, as a matter of fact they often show it during holidays, likewise there are other slavery themed movies that came out prior to 12 Years a Slave. So my thing is why can't this younger generation watch that? Why does a new slave movie to come out every year? It makes it seem that this new generation can't watch movies more than 5 minutes old. The original series came out over a decade before I was born and I've seen it plenty of times. It was part of my school curriculum in middle school. I first saw it in elementary school. What are they teaching in schools now a days and more importantly where are the parents to teach this?
I try not to even blame these young kids, it is becoming more apparent to me that it's their parents who failed them.

Actually he was pretty "conscious" around then and it stucc with him ever since.
"Tha Doggfather" is a very soft-natured Album

Of course that's whites and new blacks excuse for positive black movies. They don't want us to have a positive image of ourselves and new blacks love white saviors. The turn out for Hidden Colors was amazing and shows that not everyone is asleep and is seeking knowledge.
I hope Snoop is making moves to be the change he is talking about, he actually has the funds and platform to make these positive black movies.

He's right only time we have our stories told is some slave shyt and the shyt is never good.
this is a good question...with age comes wisdom true, but you are right. snoop wasn't trying to be up on anything conscious back in the 90's

Black /Hispanic, yeah.
Black Panther is a character, part of a huge comic book monster company with a huge built-in fanbase. The interest in it is great, but that's gonna sell itself, and it's not one of those biographical stories you're talking about or that I'm referring to. With comic book movies or pretty much any movie you're allowed some sort of creative license. We don't like that shyt because creative license = bending the truth. Look at Straight Outta Compton. Reading the stuff here and some other spots, the entertainment value of the movie was secondary to whether they told the story correctly. So with a lot of the historical stories that may interest us, making them riveting without using creative license is a task and a half.
Look at Concussion with Will Smith. Movie got good reviews. He got good reviews. He's a Nigerian doctor who figures out CTE yet all I heard was bytching and clowning of Will Smith's accent and in turn, no one watched.
some elements of it were fabricated
but them showing us being shipped from africa, the transition to being turned into slaves
that whole thing changed the way everybody talked and thought about race in this country forever
