    What is the appeal of Snoop Dogg.
    Just occurred to me today while one of his videos played in the background today at the gym.

    As I understand it he's a middle age man who calls himself Snoop Dogg/Snoop Lion who thinks pimps are cool (and was one apparently), smokes a lot of pot, promotes the execrable gangsta rap genre and has been done for firearm possession.
    Yet he's invariably described as legend etc.

    What am I missing with this.

    I think the hype is all about the time he changed his name from Snooepy-Snoopey Dog-Dog, to the more sensible Snoop-Dog. He won my undying admiration that day.

    Pure scumbag all right, but some great tunes/collaborations.

    His acting is really good in Training Day too, although he's playing a street hustla crack-head so not hugely difficult I guess.

    To be fair, it's preferable to his real name, Calvin Cordozar Broadus, Jr.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,827 ✭✭✭fussyonion


    He wants a part in Corrie, last thing I heard.
    He could play Emily Bishop's new love interest.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,690 ✭✭✭✭Skylinehead


    He really does look like a dog.

    His acting is good in real life as well, because all of us buy into his persona. And the people that hate on him have bought into it the most. It's the same with all of those rappers, but most especially people like Biggie Smalls and Tupac. They adopt personalities in their songs, telling stories that don't always reflect who they actually are. Johnny Cash sung of "shooting a man in Reno, just to watch him die." Well Tupac and Biggie done similar things. Read their actual biographies, and then listen to their lyrics. That's not who they are or were. The material is often objectionable, and an artist is ultimately responsible for what he or she brings into the world, but it's a mistake to think that Snoop, Dre, Jay Z or any of those guys are really that stupid and ignorant. They're very clever people. They've created fictions that are worth billions, and they're exploiting them to the max. "Don't hate the playa, hate the game."

    I guarantee you'd recognise one if playing, hell you might even sing along. G.

    No interest in him at all, just another 'brand' rapper.
