Snoop Dogg Seeks To Help Solve The U.K.’s Gang Problem

Snoop claims “men in white wigs” and “laws from the 1800s” are preventing him from tackling the gang issue.

He says, “I love my fans in the U.K., they’re really suffering by not letting me in to deal with the gang situation.

“I really wanted to be a voice to stop gang members, ’cause they respect me enough to get into a room with me.

Full Story

Can Snoop Dogg really help the situation in the U.K. while still promoting his gang affiliation?

Yeah there is a lot of it over here alot of innocent people are getting killed aswell.

Snoop was meant to do shows out here with P. Diddy but cus the government banned him from enering the UK they had to cancel the tour. Alot of people were dissapointed that his tour was canceled and his tour was all about peace aswell so I didn’t understand why he was banned it was cus of his criminal record.

Snoop Dogg is a gang member who promotes violence and Gangs. He influences smoking marijuana and having sex. Thank god he got banned from our country and he should be banned from yours too. All these hoodlums and rappers need to stop influencinng our children, we should all protest hip-hop and stop it know.

@ 5 maybe u or the next person should be a better parent? Im 18 and i’ve been listenin to westcoast shit since for ever rappers like Pac, Snoop, Game, Spice 1, E-40, DPG etc to new comers like Jay Rock, Glasses Malone etc. And they didnt influence me to do shit. 9/10 times its the white kids who gets influenced by rap wantin to be gangstas and whatnot. Be a better parent and do sum instead of relyin yo kids to grow up themselves and then just cuz they might be listenin to rap blame it on that.

Letter To The Angry Black Man — By Fatimah Lane

Dear Mr. Angry Black Man:

You know what really bothers me?

When brothas like you make excuses for living lives of depravity.

True there is inequality among cultures in our society,

But that doesn’t reduce your level of responsibility to us as a community.

Why aren’t you out here helping us build as a nation instead of wasting our tax dollars increasing the prison population?

Do you know that money could go to our youth and to bettering their education?

Our ancestors fought so we could have.

So, why are so many sistas alone and forced to carry the race on their backs?

Why are so many of you leaving us to be the mother and the father?

Why are we left to be the sole providers?

It just seems to me if it’s not benefiting you, you ain’t trying to be bothered.

I heard a brotha one day say he felt discriminated against because he was asked to provide a resume.

Hello, that’s something everyone should readily have available today.

And most of you won’t even register to vote.

And you wonder why no one takes you seriously and why all of your ideas and dreams go up in smoke.

Why are you plaguing our communities with drugs and violence?

And no it’s not all of you but even the rest of you are just as bad because you sit back and watch in silence.

And why are you on TV glamorizing poverty, degradation of your women, and materialistic things?

How about promoting empowerment through education and all the benefits that can be gained?

And stop blaming the white man for all of your dramas.

Accept responsibility for your actions and then find solutions to your problems.

And if you really think your lives could be so much better outside of America, hop on a plane and take a trip to Africa.

Then you’ll see what struggling really is.

So much sickness, extreme poverty, and so many homeless and abandoned kids.

They’d kill for what you have.

Stop acting like your feelings are made of glass.

Stop walking around here like the world owes you something.

It’s okay to love God, to have fears, dreams, and to be loving.

It’s what makes us human and without all of that we’re nothing.

And I’m not trying to bash you but you don’t know what all your bullshitting puts us sistas through.

We need you to support us and be examples for our youth.

Hell yeah we’ll support you in almost everything you dream and aspire to be.

Just please drop all the negativity and come be the leaders of our community.

All we’re asking you to do is step up.

This is my letter to you and I’m signing it, Fed Up.

Honestly there are nothing wrong with gangs. Its the actions of said gangs which begin to make that organization questionable. Hell fraternities and sororites are gangs. LOL. I think Snoop should try to fix his own backyard first then take on the world.

Snoop is the right person for the job since gang members can relate with them, ya he promotes his own gang affliation but the best person to help them is one of their own…….its better than an ignorant politician tryna help them out….

snoop isn’t really about peace because he’s always talkin bout bein a crip. and even if he was no1 would really listen to him anyway. all this shit goin on with this ‘gang culture’ among youths over here is about looking good in front of your peers and music from people like snoop won’t influence them either way

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Educate your self you ignorant dumb nigga. There is far worse gangbanging in countries outside of the US, but young fucks like you think America is the only place where a nigga can be hard huh? Im telling you the gangbanging that goes on in El salvador, Jamaica, Brazil, etc is worse than most of the gangbanging here.

Plus there alot of stabbings in London, more than shootings, and that is the real issue but seeing that you are ignorant I’m sure you think London is soft and is full of white people who drink tee all day right?

Todays youth? But gangbanging has been prevelant since the 70’s, maybe 60’s to be exact, didn’t you know that? It isnt a problem with todays youth, it was always a problem. Now there are 2 types of gangs. Organizations who are really making millions in drug money and then theres aimless gangs who go around fighting each other.

Don’t place both of them in the same category. some gangs main objective is to make money. Howver the kids who run around looking to fight are lost.

Shut da fuck up “Loke dawg” the new G-Unit video “feel good” is prolly the worst video I seen this yr besides jeezy and his low budget CTE videos.. and I aint even hatin cuz Banks ripped it. Here’s where it gets bad though:

Yayo is practically singing on the hook, and we know how bad he sounds.

I think its safe to say White Bread aint been to the Jungles, any part of Compton or Watts. Aint no, “i dont bang” over there. And if niggas dont recognize your car, you might be lucky and just hear a warning shot lol.

Police don’t show up after dark unless they 3 or more cars deep and thats probably a couple hours after you called they ass. Cali aint all hollywood and sunshine like the movies make it look. But every place got a ghetto just like every race got they “niggas”… Believe that
