SNOOP DOGG ADMITS TO ‘MANAGING’ PROSTITUTES BACK IN 2003
Snoop Lion rocking a french manicure
The revelation that Snoop Dogg turned fake Rastafarian used to be a pimp does not surprise me at all. When this married man and father of three started dabbling in the world of porn and making films on his property (against his wife Shante’s wishes), then moved on to hanging out with the biggest pimp of them all Hugh Hefner and then ran around town with that dirty sack of a reptile Don “Magic” Juan’ ( a former pimp who revels in his murky past), I knew there was something dark and even more sinister going on beneath the surface too.
In a recent interview with Rolling Stone the 41 year old reveals:
I put an organisation together. I did a Playboy tour, and I had a bus follow me with ten bitches on it. I could fire a bitch, fu*k a bitch, get a new ho: It was my program. City to city, titty to titty, hotel room to hotel room, athlete to athlete, entertainer to entertainer.
“If I’m in a city where the Denver Broncos or the Nuggets play, I get a couple of they players to come hang out, pick and choose, and whichever one you like comes with a number. A lot of athletes bought pu**y from me.’
‘I’d act like I’d take the money from the bitch, but I’d let her have it. It was never about the money; it was about the fascination of being a pimp.
‘As a kid I dreamed of being a pimp, I dreamed of having cars and clothes and bitches to match. I said, “Fu*k it – I’m finna do it.”

Is this really something to boast about?
Instead of encouraging those women to leave that depressing lifestyle behind he chose to exploit them further, all because he wanted to fulfil some sick pimp fantasy. And I am willing to bet that a few of those prostitutes were probably underage.
Snoop has slowly morphed in to a disgusting and creepy middle-aged fool.
LIL WAYNE FINALLY DROPPED BY MOUNTAIN DEW OVER EMMETT TILL LYRICS
Lil Wayne
This news has made my Friday evening.
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!
The Associated Press just reported that PepsiCo makers of the beverage Mountain Dew has dropped rapper Lil Wayne (real name Dwayne Carter).
Wayne caused controversy earlier this year when he appeared on the remix of Atlanta artist Future’s unreleased single ’Karate Chop’ and rapped the line, “beat the p*ssy up like Emmett Till.”
Emmett Till was a 14 year old African-American boy who was brutally murdered in Mississippi in 1955, after he reportedly whistled and flirted with Carolyn Bryant, a 21 year old Caucasian woman.
Emmett Till
Till’s family demanded an apology after hearing the vile lyrics but their request was ignored for two months. But that changed several days ago after it was announced that they planned on pursuing Wayne’s sponsors, namely Mountain Dew, a product of PepsiCo. Click here to read all about it.
This move finally forced the reprobate to sit up and take notice, and a publicist was quickly instructed to issue an public apology on the coward’s behalf. In response to the ‘apology’ members from the Till family were far from impressed and said “the letter fell short of an apology”.
The backlash has now led to PepsiCo ending its partnership with Wayne and today they said that his “offensive reference to a revered civil rights icon does not reflect the values of our brand.”
While Wayne’s publicist Sarah Cunningham LIED and said the split was due to “creative differences” and that it was an amicable parting.

Well done to the Till family.
Rest In Peace Emmett Till.
LIL WAYNE FINALLY APOLOGISES TO THE FAMILY OF MURDERED BLACK TEENAGER EMMETT TILL
Emmett Till
Rapper Lil Wayne (real name Dwayne Carter) has finally issued a public apology to the family of slain teenager Emmett Till.
Wayne caused controversy earlier this year when he appeared on the remix of Atlanta artist Future’s unreleased single ’Karate Chop’ and rapped the line, “beat the p*ssy up like Emmett Till.”
Emmett Till was a 14 year old African-American boy who was brutally murdered in Mississippi in 1955, after he reportedly whistled and flirted with Carolyn Bryant, a 21 year old Caucasian woman.
Till’s family demanded an apology after hearing the vile lyrics but were ignored. That is until several days ago when it was announced that they planned on pursuing Wayne’s sponsors, namely Mountain Dew, a product of PepsiCo. Click here to read all about it.
The thought of losing a major endorsement deal must have shaken the little cretin to his very core because today he issued this apology:
Dear Till Family:
As a recording artist, I have always been interested in word play. My lyrics often reference people, places and events in my music, as well as the music that I create for or alongside other artists.
It has come to my attention that lyrics from my contribution to a fellow artist’s song has deeply offended your family. As a father myself, I cannot imagine the pain that your family has had to endure. I would like to take a moment to acknowledge your hurt, as well as the letter you sent to me via your attorneys.
Moving forward, I will not use or reference Emmett Till or the Till family in my music, especially in an inappropriate manner. I fully support Epic Record’s decision to take down the unauthorized version of the song and to not include the reference in the version that went to retail. I will not be performing the lyrics that contain that reference live and have removed them from my catalogue.
I have tremendous respect for those who paved the way for the liberty and opportunities that African-Americans currently enjoy. As a business owner who employs several African-American employees and gives philanthropically to organizations that help youth to pursue their dreams my ultimate intention is to uplift rather than degrade our community.
Best,
Dwayne Michael Carter, Jr.
Lil Wayne

Well folks… look what happens when you threaten a reprobate rapper’s livelihood. I think we all know that this apology was written by a publicist, but I am glad the Till family succeeded in backing Wayne in to a corner and have finally received the apology that they should have received back in February.
Rest In Peace Emmett Till.
QUOTE OF THE DAY: SNOOP DOGG BLASTS REGGAE LEGEND BUNNY WAILER
Snoop Dogg aka Snoop Lion and Bunny Wailer
Earlier this year legendary Reggae star Bunny Wailer publicly called out rapper Snoop Dogg’s “conversion” to Rastafari and his ridiculous “Snoop Lion” antics. CLICK HERE to read all about it.
Now in a recent interview with Rolling Stone Magazine Snoop has hit back at Bunny.
The people I visited at the Nyabinghi Temple aren’t speaking negative on me. They’re real Rastas. I went in there and filmed them, showed their whole get-down. Nobody did that before. If anyone, they should have complained – “He exploited us!” Why aren’t they saying that? To me, they have the most gripe to make. How did I exploit Bunny? I gave you a chance to be in my movie. My movie gonna be the shit with or without you. I’m gonna be the sh*t with or without you. I’m Snoop Dogg. Relevant right now.
It’s like, people take my kindness for weakness. In the Nineties, he could have never tried that because I’d have slapped the dog shit out of his old ass. How dare you? After all I’ve done for you? How dare you? You wasn’t the sh*t in the Wailers. You was just one of them: Bob, Peter Tosh, then you. They dead mean more than you do alive. You get the energy? When it should have been, ‘Hey, this brother is putting me back in the light; I could possibly get on the road with him, be on his album, eat again. Let me get in line. This is Snoop Dogg; he’s already a star.’ It should have been, play along with me as opposed to stick me up. I’m gonna give you what you worth, but you not gonna stick me up.
But guess who stood up in my defense? Rohan, Rita, Stephen, Damian Marley. Rohan went public. He called him Phony Wailer, or whatever he called him. I can’t call him that; I don’t know him like that. But they do. They know what he after and they love me. If Bob’s kids and his wife welcome they arms and say, “You one of the Marleys,” then who is Bunny Wailer to say anything?
[Thanks Keysha]

Snoop has lost his mind. Who does he think he is? HOW DARE this man imply that Bunny was sitting down starving in Jamaica desperate for a hand out. Snoop deserves one swift kick in the mouth and a drop kick to the chest.
His remarks regarding Bunny’s position in The Wailers and position within Reggae music today is a clear indication to me that his knowledge of the genre and the culture is limited. I have said this before and I will say it again Snoop is a blasted fraud who needs to leave Reggae music, Rastafari and Jamaica alone. Go back to what you do best Snoop – rapping.
Members from the Nyabinghi tribe and even Bunny himself should have known better than to entertain Snoop and his “Snoop Lion” antics. But I guess the camera crew and the presence of the “almighty” Snoop turned them fool.
And those members from the Marley family who publicly defended Snoop are all a bunch of idiots (especially Rohan Marley). They must have cataracts if they cannot see the mockery that is taking place in front of their very eyes.
I hope that everyone in Jamaica who embraced Snoop and his tomfoolery have learnt a valuable lesson here.
Where are Sizzla and Capleton when you need them?
FAMILY OF MURDERED BLACK TEENAGER EMMETT TILL SET TO PURSUE LIL WAYNE’S SPONSORS
Emmett Till
Earlier this year Lil Wayne (real name Dwayne Carter) caused controversy when he appeared on the remix of Atlanta artist Future’s unreleased single ’Karate Chop’ and rapped the line, “beat the p*ssy up like Emmett Till.”
For those of you who don’t know who Emmett Till is, Till was a 14 year old African-American boy who was brutally murdered in Mississippi in 1955, after he reportedly whistled and flirted with Carolyn Bryant, a 21 year old Caucasian woman.
Till was from Chicago, Illinois, visiting his relatives in Money, Mississippi, in the Mississippi Delta region, when he spoke to 21-year-old Carolyn Bryant, the married proprietor of a small grocery store there. Several nights later, Bryant’s husband Roy and his half-brother J. W. Milam arrived at Till’s great-uncle’s house where they took Till, transported him to a barn, beat him and gouged out one of his eyes, before shooting him through the head and disposing of his body in the Tallahatchie River, weighting it with a 70-pound (32 kg) cotton gin fan tied around his neck with barbed wire. His body was discovered and retrieved from the river three days later.
Till was returned to Chicago and his mother, who had raised him mostly by herself, insisted on a public funeral service with an open casket to show the world the brutality of the killing. Tens of thousands attended his funeral or viewed his casket and images of his mutilated body were published in black magazines and newspapers, rallying popular black support and white sympathy across the U.S. Intense scrutiny was brought to bear on the condition of black civil rights in Mississippi, with newspapers around the country critical of the state. Although initially local newspapers and law enforcement officials decried the violence against Till and called for justice, they soon began responding to national criticism by defending Mississippians, which eventually transformed into support for the killers.
The trial attracted a vast amount of press attention. Bryant and Milam were acquitted of Till’s kidnapping and murder, but only months later, in a magazine interview, protected against double jeopardy, they admitted to killing him. Till’s murder is noted as a pivotal event motivating the African-American Civil Rights Movement.
CLICK HERE to watch the documentary ‘The Untold Story Of Emmett Till’.
Many including Stevie Wonder and Till’s family demanded an apology from the rapper but to date still have not received a DIRECT apology from the arrogant little fool. He has refused to acknowledge the Till family.
Instead Epic Records did the apologising for him and issued the following statement:
“We regret the unauthorized remix version of Future’s ‘Karate Chop,’ which was leaked online and contained hurtful lyrics. Out of respect for the legacy of Emmett Till and his family and the support of the Reverend Jesse L. Jackson Sr. … we are going through great efforts to take down the unauthorized version.”
Lil Wayne
But the Till family refuse to let this situation slide and have told Allhiphop.com that they intend to put pressure on Lil Wayne’s sponsors, namely Mountain Dew, a product of PepsiCo.
Thanks to women’s group UltraViolet who successfully shut down Rick Ross’ lucrative endorsement deal with Reebok, the Till family has now realised that if they want to get the apology that they so rightfully deserve, then they will have to hit Wayne where it hurts him the most. In his fat pockets.
Lil Wayne is a bloody disgrace. This man is over 30, born and raised in America’s deep south and knows all about Emmett Till’s brutal and tragic fate at the hands of evil racists. Why would he think it appropriate to rap lyrics that compare Till’s torture and death to a sex act? And why didn’t those who stick to him like flies stick to sh*t take him aside and say ‘look you have gone too far here. This is wrong?’.
The fact that Wayne couldn’t even bring himself to acknowledge the family’s simple request for an apology speaks volumes. I hope the disrespectful little reprobate loses all his endorsement deals. If there is an online petition available I will sign it one hundred times.
Hopefully taking action in this fashion will perhaps force some of these idiot rappers to think twice in future before stepping into the recording booth to rap damn right foolishness.
Rest In Peace Emmett Till.
UK MUSIC AND A NATION MOURNS: BOY BAND JLS ANNOUNCE SPLIT
Soul destroying news this morning folks…. yes it is true… JLS has announced through tabloid rag The Sun that after 5 years together they have decided to go their separate way.
Group member Marvin Humes said:
“It’s an emotional time. There’s no getting away from that.”
This morning the band also tweeted:
To the BEST fans in the world,it is true.THANK u 4 ur undying support and love.U will NEVER be forgotten. #amazingtimes #amazingmemories 💛Jx—
JLS (@JLSOfficial) April 24, 2013
There will be a Greatest Hits album and a farewell tour.
In my opinion the writing was on the wall after the release of their last album titled Evolution. JLS worked with several American Hip Hop and R&B producers on the album but it didn’t do as well as expected. Then after that they all started to focus on their own individual ventures. Marvin Humes now hosts a show on Capital FM, Ashton Merrygold is now a judge on Sky 1 show Got To Dance and the others are working on their own music related projects.
I also think that the One Direction takeover also drove the final nail in the band’s coffin.
But it should be noted that JLS were runners-up on TV talent show X-Factor back in 2008 and since then have done phenomenally well, so I understand why many are shocked and saddened by this news.
I do however suspect that within 5 years they will be back promoting a “reunion” tour or appearing on the hit ITV 2 show The Big Reunion.
RICK ROSS FINALY RELEASES OFFICIAL APOLOGY… THE DAY AFTER REEBOK DROPS HIM LIKE A BAD COLD
Yesterday apparel giant Reebok finally bowed down to pressure and dropped Rick Ross like a bad cold because of his drug rape lyrics on the track “U.O.E.N.O.” (You Ain’t Even Know It).
In a statement Reebok said:
“Reebok holds our partners to a high standard, and we expect them to live up to the values of our brand. Unfortunately, Rick Ross has failed to do so. While we do not believe that Rick Ross condones sexual assault, we are very disappointed he has yet to display an understanding of the seriousness of this issue or an appropriate level of remorse. At this time, it is in everyone’s best interest for Reebok to end its partnership with Mr. Ross.
The shock of losing such a lucrative endorsement deal has obviously shaken Rick to the very core because earlier today the rapper finally issued an official apology… written by his publicist (probably a woman).
“Before I am an artist, I am a father, a son, and a brother to some of the most cherished women in the world. So for me to suggest in any way that harm and violation be brought to a woman is one of my biggest mistakes and regrets.
As an artist, one of the most liberating things is being able to paint pictures with my words. But with that comes a great responsibility. And most recently, my choice of words was not only offensive, it does not reflect my true heart. And for this, I apologize. To every woman that has felt the sting of abuse, I apologize.
I recognize that as an artist I have a voice and with that, the power of influence. To the young men who listen to my music, please know that using a substance to rob a woman of her right to make a choice is not only a crime, it’s wrong and I do not encourage it. To my fans, I also apologize if I have disappointed you. I can only hope that this sparks a healthy dialogue and that I can contribute to it.”
Why didn’t Rick issue an official apology before Reebok tore up his lucrative contract in front of his face?
The truth is he didn’t take any of this seriously and thought he would walk away unscathed (like so many other rappers before him) but feminist group Ultraviolet refused to let this one go. Well done ladies.
REEBOK DROPS RAPPER RICK ROSS OVER RAPE LYRICS CONTROVERSY
Sports apparel giant Reebok has bowed down to pressure and ended their partnership with rapper Rick Ross.
Reebok issued the following statement:
“Reebok holds our partners to a high standard, and we expect them to live up to the values of our brand. Unfortunately, Rick Ross has failed to do so. While we do not believe that Rick Ross condones sexual assault, we are very disappointed he has yet to display an understanding of the seriousness of this issue or an appropriate level of remorse. At this time, it is in everyone’s best interest for Reebok to end its partnership with Mr. Ross.
Rick’s feeble attempt at an apology was insulting and lacked sincerity.
For those of you who missed the controversy Rick angered many when he rapped about drugging and raping a woman on the Rocko track “U.O.E.N.O.” (You Ain’t Even Know It).
Struggling rapper/Monica’s baby father Rocko has now reluctantly removed Rick’s verse from the track and told radio station Hot 97,
“With all respect to the homie Ross… It’s a Catch-22. I don’t want to take him off. But one thing that’s set in stone is he’s always going to be on that song. It doesn’t matter who I put on the song, that’s going to always be the original version. It’s not like I can do another version and call it the original.”
Like Rick this idiot still doesn’t understand the seriousness of this issue.
And I don’t understand why Reebok went in to partnership with Rick in the first place. I mean look at the man, he is hardly a picture of health and fitness.
