Snoop Doggy Dog (The Degenerate)

[AruggeRadio]

Sense this post is starting to devolve into name calling i thought i would add my 2 cents.

Just for the record, Snoop Dog has never been convinced in a United States court for Murder. He was brought up on charges in 1994 but was found innocent by a jury of his pears. So before you all call him a murder or part of a murderous organization I thought I would clear it up that he has never been convinced of the crime of murder. So Snoop himself is not a killer.

Once again if you would take time to listen to the Lyrics of his songs you would realize that he is very anti this type of behavior and wants to sway youth from taking the same path that he did.

I also thought that I would bring the opportunity to some of you who have never actually listened to a snoop song to at least see his poetry. Here is the lyrics to one of Snoop Dogs earliest and in my opinion one of his most brilliant songs called Murder Was the Case [DeathAfterVisualizingEternity]. The lyrics contain strong language so those who are squeamish don’t venture. I encourage Patty E thought to read these and tell me if Snoop Dog is glorifying gang banging.

There is no doubt in my mind DOGG's appearance is attempt to rehabilitate his pathetic vile image. I object to this being done on the back of Henson Productions. The association is cosmetic and has no value to the Muppets.

Further, who would want to do business with "Rap Culture?" By selecting "SNOOP" for an infomercial/cameo appearance, you risk offending other rival rappers. This culture has a history of becoming violent, when snubbed.

"So before you all call him a murder or part of a murderous organization I thought I would clear it up that he has never been convinced of the crime of murder."

I've only posted about this 5 times or so, and never have I called Snoop a murderer.

But "part of a murderous organization?"

Yes, I stand by that 100%.

What the heck do you think the Bloods and Crips are––the Boy Scouts?

They're just a bunch of cowardly, backward, violent dirtbags who'd rather war with themselves and kill non-members for kicks than do anything else.

Are you high on something right now?

Are you high on something right now?

I'm sorry, but are you insinutating that he has to be high or drugged up on something to be defending Snoop? Methinks you've crossed the line into stereotyping territory, Sid.

OK, maybe you're right

The Bloods and Crips are fine people.

If you have any kids, be sure and leave them with the gang members to take care of them for a few days.

If you know any of these magical people, hang around them and talk Muppets with them. If there's one thing a Crip or a Blood loves, it's not guns and turf wars, it's puppets and stories about them.

Makes perfect sense to me.

Sorry about the "high" comment

Whooops, I take it back

You DO have to be high on drugs to see the Crips as anything BUT a murderous organization.

Of course, I may be wrong. Like I said, none of us is 100% correct.

Tell me about this great fellowship of esteemed gentlemen, the Crips.

I'm waiting

What, nothing to say about the Crips?

I'm falling asleep here

Dogg's work- poetry? How could anyone be enamored by his filth. It aims to vulgarize young minds. It is "peddling filth for profit."

You wanna know what the 'Bloods and Crips' are?

They are an embarassing fashion faux paus of the mid to late 80's that somehow survived past that. Obviously people who post stuff or generalizations however true, dont know their facts.

This particulair gang or gans is comprised of inmates, and generally young black youth who are 3rd generation 3rd world poor. Meaning, it is a cycle of violence, fear, and peer pressue that becons such membership...not 'flashy MTV videos' as a recruitment tool.

People point and scowl at the inner city urban decay and degrdation of selected black youth...yet overlook the root or origins, or see the disproportinate amount of jailed youth from these sectors.

Back int he 10's, 20's, 30's, 40's, and 50's quite a few blacks were forced to live in squallor and on the poor side of the tracks. Its a fact. Oppurtunities were destroyed, and a cycle began several generatiosn ago. Flash forward to the 60's civil rights movement, and a lot of this forced to live in a ghetto aparteid stuff was lifted(for the most part) Yet by the late 80's(and even now) this lifestyle of desperateness continues. Why you ask?

Because cycles are hard to break, and it takes brave souls to rise up out of such living, whether it be in Oakland, Caprini Green, Harlem, or Houston.

It's kind of like saying 'Man, a lot of those Native Americans are just building casinos, drinking themselves to death, and living off welfare'. Well, when virtually your entire race is ethnically cleansed by the United States government, then the remaining few are given a few morsels of grain fields to plop down...tell me there woouldnt be lingering problems.

All Im saying is this argument of 'lifestyle' is systematic and has a reasoning behind it. Anyone who has visited a ghetto or like neighborhood can see this desperate and horrific situation at its nexus.

That said I think it is Patty E's agenda to simply argue about whats 'apporpriate' for a presumed children's show.
Notice she never once actually mentions a love or even interest in the Muppets...just a 'concern' of role models.

And Patty, to answer your question you emailed me...I referenced the great Muppet character Sam the Eagle in the same sentence as you, because he is a satire of the type of well meaningful but poorly executed reasoning. He is a parody of alarm pushing
cansorship in America over the years.
