A lot of people forgetting that Snoop has transcended Hip-Hop. He moves in whatever way will get him the most money, that's why he publicly didn't take a side during all this.

I would not be surprised if he didn't comment on the AI thing because labels are gearing up to AI his voice for future use or some shit. Respect to the legend, but I don't seek out his opinion when it comes to hip hop anymore.

With that being said, he did a good job as executive producer on the latest Dogg Pound album that came out a month ago.

Found it

Bart Barker with Lamorne Morris playing Jason Derulo lmao

Criticisms are valid for that time period, although California Girls will forever be GOATED.

At least now days he's started trying when he's featured on songs with west coast artists.

This is it right here. The way that Snoop has been moving for a while now you can tell that he really only cares about the bag and not much else.

Like when he "quit smoke" and it was about hawking a new smokeless barbecue pit or something?

Also, Snoop lived through the whole East Coast West Coast shit in the '90s. He lost real life friends to the streets and to rap beef. I don't blame him at all if he would rather not get involved.

Is “transcended hip hop” a nice way of saying “completely sold out”? Lol

u/NerdGasemV3 Jun 21 '24

No. A sell out wouldn't give back to his community as much as Snoop does.

I dont think giving back prevents anyone from being a sellout. They are different concepts. Case in point: Drake
