Snoop Dogg Defends Gangs And Tells Non Cali Crips And Bloods To “Stay Out Of Cali Or Get Rode On”

Snoop Dogg is saying that gang life is positive… Yeah, we know. The self proclaimed “Crip” goes on to say that out of towners’ need not apply for a Cali Thug License:

“Me personally, I feel like if you banging outside of California, stay there cause if you come back to California where it originated at, we have... Continue

    Smh. He Is A Damn Mess.
    He Needs To Grow Uhp Already.
    Lol @ That Outfit.

  • drenk

    would he be saying that if his son was killed from gang violence??

  • Moreaces+Lets Go Dallas

    Yo,, Snoop, regarding the outfit,, You have been lied to. LOL looking like a straight up Fool.

  • KeepNit2Real

    Snoop is just being honest. You can say he too old for that all you want…

    the bottom line is their is a different level of understanding as to the REASON things exist at the source, and dudes who think they cool copying the original wave will get trampled.

    It happens all the time so deal with the facts. Snoop ain’t lied one bit…not that I support gang life but he’s telling the truth.

  • Nique

    I couldnt even finish the article cause my brian just couldnt deal with the foolishness it was being fed.

    SMH @ this grown man even talking like this
    SMH @ the ppl who let them coach their children
    SMH @ the outfit!

    …my neck hurts…

  • Aunt Viv

    What in bloody heck is Snoop wearing? That outfit looks like a tacky Home-Ec sewing project. Ugh.

  • Butterscotch™

    Proof that daily weed smoking kills brain cells…both the outfit and his statement.

  • Big D

    Karma is a b*tch, Snoop…

  • WhatAWorld

    It’s easy to say that s.hit when you can safely run to your mansion in the burbs.Some clown’s kill me with this stuff.His wife is stuck raising 4 kids instead of three.But he’s right,Cali is the originator(not saying gangs are cool).Anyways,doesn’t this clown coach children,SMDH!

  • http://www.twitter.com/mastermk7 MasterMK

    A bunch of young brothers, wearing one color and baggy clothes then walking down the street 1AM in the morning… what could go wrong?

  • pinky tuscadero

    I’m from Cali born and raised, and Snoop is a ignorant fool. I can’t believe a grown azz man is acting like a brain dead gang-banger!! That’s what’s wrong with the youth today looking up to these whack azz “role models”. Snoop should be ashamed!! I won’t be surprised at all when Snoop suffers the same fate as Tupac. Look at the company he keeps.

    AND whoever sold/ made Snoop that outfit had a great sense of humor…. FAIL!!

  • KeepNit2Real

    pinky tuscadero…..let me tell you what happened to my boy when he went to Compton.

    He, being from DC, had no idea what the deal was. He walked through the neighborhood of a friends house he was staying over with a red Champion sweatshirt…popular in DC those days.

    But in some parts of Cali? War colors!

    He was held up by some Crips, his life was threatened at gun point until his father came to his rescue intervening on his behalf.

    It shook him up so bad he swore to never go back to Compton ever.

    So the next time you call Snoop a fool for a comment he’s making or some colors he’s sporting, my friend will beg to differ no matter how you throw it at him. Foolish maybe, but he is still telling the truth.

  • WordtotheWise

    Yes, Snoop needs to grow up. Whether he’s telling the truth or not. He’s too old and also a husband/father. Quit trying to be hard and be an example for your children, Snoop.

    Instead of trying to make things better and stop the killing of countless black men, he’s talking all this yang yang. Boy, boo!

  • http://Bossip Smitty Black

    I hate this fool!

  • NY said…

    Who can disagree with a grown man in a bandana jumpsuit?

  • Nena

    Haha, wtf is that n.igga wearing?! : /

    Seriously, he should be ashamed of his words. Look at Dr. Dre, Jay-Z and others, they all grew up, behave well and act like the adults they are. Snoop is still stuck in 90′s. And he’s supposed to be a father to. And a member of the Nation of Islam. Farrakhan better never invite him again. I was sick of Snoop since seeing him speak about the message of Islam only to be seen weeks later with a side chick on his arm cheating on his wife.

  • deesac

    I think as a public figure he should be careful what he says. There are plenty of other groups that display brother hood rather then joining a gang. Join a fraternity, Q dog, Alfa,kapa,mason,shriner,church,monk,peace corps etc. Anything of positive source that does not require a gun or crime.

  • THE JAIL ARE MADE 4 US WHAT DO YOU EXPECT

    snoop is rich but a loser none the less. that perm wearing h-o-m-o stuff is not cool so if that ispart of it.. count east coast out that h-o-m-o crap anyway!! loose booty cali and he gots to be kidding me

    he is probably recruiting them young football kidz into his group……

    Bad Role model

  • Ms. Littlejohn

    He looks like a damn fool.

  • Redemption

    Snoop and every brother over 21 need to let this stupidity go. We need to be beyond this here and start being men. You can tell a man by his mentality.

    “When I was a child, I did childish things. When I became man I put away those childish things.”

  • Cj

    Why is this negro wearing a scarf?

  • eveinthegarden

    This man is the definition of a idiot.

    “Its cool to be in a gang”.

  • CLOWNS

    I AGREE THAT OUTSIDE L.A CRIP AND BLOOD AINT REAL. BUT I DON’T KNOW WHY SNOOP IS TALKING AS IF ITS A GOOD THING TO BANG. I WAS DOWN WITH A CLICK GROWING UP AND WENT TO L.A TO ECHO PARK WHICH IS ESSAY HOOD AND TO COMPTON AND NEVER WAS HELD UP OR NOTHING. BUT IT DOES HAPPEN.

  • Kami All Day (Haters give me Promo…..)

    Snoop is too old for this mess.

    This is what I am talking about.

    People who are in the entertainment biz have a certain power and when they speak, children and even young adults, listen.

    I wish artists like this would fall of the face of the earth.

    You do nothing to help.

  • Huh?

    Oh yeah, until it’s his sons thats caught up. Karma is real people.

  • Chaka1

    I agree. It infuriates me that this ingoramous is giving a platform to speak. Makes me sick…

  • Rrrrroe Ski Love- A mind is a terrible thing to waste.

    @JB I understand exactly what you and snoop are saying. My point is that they (gangs) still stand for nothing and positive things don’t come out of gangbangers. They represent the lowlifes of society, which is where they should stay. Glorifying them only gives them credence to believe in their sick agenda.

  • Dwoodard

    LiL WayNE .. BABY.. PLEASE LISTEN UP,, Tell em Snoop !!

  • darealwifey

    These people (gang-bangers) need to evolve to the 21st century and catch up with the rest of civilization. Idiots have made their own neighborhoods war-zones, and made themselves and their families targets. Shameful. I say put ‘em overseas and make them fight for a good cause. The military is hiring.

  • Serene2Apoint

    We have 40 year old “Crips” and “Bloods” in Denver, also! It’s just stupid…

  • Buddy Love

    the problem with most nicca’s is they read/listen to folks giving advice with their mind(s) already made up to disagree. if you read what he’s saying with an open mind…he’s just giving out advice as to how the gang life is in cali. he’s not advocating it…he’s just saying there’s a whole different mentality there and if you chose to rep your colors while in a different part of the country…just know that you are going to get called out on your affiliation if you come to cali. folks open your mind(s)…the man just giving advice. if the sh!t don’t apply to you…move on to the next post.

  • HaHaHaTooFunny

    LMAO Snoop my nicca whats up with the get up, you wildin for that one, you still my dog.

  • JB(ACC basketball, SEC basketball! Who gonna check us Boo?!)

    @ Buddy love I said the same exact thing.

  • Buddy Love

    @JB…good post (i just read it)…but u know you can’t give closed minded folk advice. without even trying to understand the point the man is trying to make…nicca’s want to clown. oh well…hopefully they never get caught slippin in cali. one of my buddies lives there and says they are serious about that bangin.

  • Kierah

    Imma pray for you Snoop. The devil has totally twisted your mind.

  • maria

    I worked in LA schools for 3 years and I can’t tell you how many lives are cut short/ruined/traumatized by gang activity. Snoop doesn’t even know what the situation is like now. His reference point is the 90s. People from out of state should stop frontin just like 40 year olds who live in a gated community in Diamond Bar should stop frontin. Please! Snoop’s music, recorded from his studio in his gated community, has contributed to kids thinking this lifestyle is cool and worth it–which leads to kids dying and becoming paralyzed and dropping out of school. He needs to just shut up.

    Well I grew up in the 80′s era of banging so Snoop is on point for what he is saying. It doesn’t get any worse than the 80′s. When you can’t wear a certain color shoe string, then it is bad.

    Pretty much he is saying stop frontin in your music(Lil Wayne) and acting like you are hard because they will try you. What Snoop is saying is stop looking like an idiot like Wayne wearing red rags all over the place and saying blood this and blood that on his songs and then getting punked when he gets rolled up on.

  • SNOOP REAL OG

    SNOOP is trying to educate some of you bangers, READ what he is saying or STAY out of CALI trying to rep a gang.

    Dr Dre/Ice T/Ice Cube were NOT gangstas!!!

    SNOOP straight up GANGSTA!!!!

  • Da Truth

    As a young black male this breaks my heart. I can’t beleive the direction our community is going. Fools like this are given platforms everyday to spread this ignorance. No wonder other races look down on African American males. Maybe some households dont need fathers. What’s worse 40 something gangster as a father or no father at all?

  • OKAY THEY GET THE POINT SNOOP

    @JB you’re right, it doesn’t get much worse than the 80′s……

    All SNOOP is saying is don’t come to Cali banging or else, and if you don’t know where you suppose to be when ya get here, LOOK UP SOMEBODY THAT DOES KNOW, such as SNOOP….now ya know!

  • Sit down SNOOP!

    Born and raised in S.Cali, I hate the gangs with a vengence, but…..I respect them, I know this sounds stupid, but its what keeps me and others alive.

    The gangs here roll deep and they don’t play.

  • Dwoodard

    LiL Wayne & BAbY,, THAt Was Going at u Listen to this Man Snoop just giving advice calling them out… that’s Hip- Hop baby…

  • Darwin

    Are you serious. You got these so called ignorant, youngbuck gang members that kill with no reprocussion, and you’re representing them. PLEASE. California isn’t the only gang affiliated state in this country, the ignorance is everywhere. There is no discipline, no heart, no courage, they killing kids, robbing the same people who raised them, killing somebody not affiliated with a gang but have on the wrong color. ARE YOU KIDDING ME. NOOO, gangs shouldn’t be your protector, YOU should be your protecter. The mistake most of these sobbering parents of killed sons and daughters make is STAYING in that enviroment. I despise seeing these tears, screaming, and going crazy because their child was killed on the streets, IT’S YOUR FAULT, MOVE. Gangs are useless, and that’s why I keep strapped (legally) everyday, just for these ignorant, undisciplined fools that “bang”. All this crap for a piece of God’s earth, and a freaking crayola color. I have officially lost any respect for Snoop. Idiot.

  • ncsweetieee

    the man is right! all 49 states stuck on stupid. Real gangsta’s is in cali, gone out there with your bad selves and see just what a real CRIP or BLOOD look like. lol

  • ncsweetieee

    i’m just saying people from nc (for instance) look and sound stupid rep’n streets and sets way in california! that’s just dumb. I am not a gang member nor do I advocate for it. I am trying to teach my son that is not what it do. Any gang even if NC came with their own. Love your kids or gangs will.

  • Young Lady

    This fool has on a onesie talking about gangs smdh!Who still listens to thid gut he gets more and more ridiculous by the years.

  • Darwin

    All these fools need to be in Afghanistan fighting the war and let our “real” soldiers come home. It’s easy to kill innocent people who are afriad, but how about real opponents that kill for a living. Sound good to me.

  • Be Real

    most of the people that are commenting on the things that he said and the things that he represents don’t know anything about what he is talking about, let alone been to cali or even know anyone from there.

    what he is saying is the truth. everybody wanna be a crip/blood but they need to recognize that there’s always someone waiting to pull your card and test you to see if you’re real or not.

    most of these rappers think that it makes them look cool to try and represent these gangs but i know about a lot of them that this exact thing has happened to. they touch down in cali.. and then there’s a whole gang of ni66as waiting for they azz. ex. Plies, he can talk all he want to. but that ni66a is really a scary little bxtch on the inside.

  • Be Real

    i have lived all over southern california.. in any area that you can name. i know the truth. and snoop is telling it, no matter how ignorant it may seem to the people who know jack squat about it.

  • SouthernGirl

    @ Darwin

    I hear what ur sayin but everyone is not in a position to move. I do believe when u have children and are tryin to raise them to be educated, confident men and women, u as a parent have to motivate yourself to get out of that neighborhood. The sad reality is that it may take working two jobs and that leaves unsupervised kids sometimes. It really is a double edged sword sometimes. Single parent-hood ain’t no joke and many of these gang-bangers are the product of young mothers. Rap-it-up ladies!

  • Darwin

    Heck, 99% of all rappers are fake when they talk gangs, money, drugs, all that. That’s nothing new, but since Snoop is saying himself that these idiots are not repping right then why not try to fix it instead of putting out music supporting it? After all these years of glorifying gang violence and life now he want to say these young boys don’t know what they’re doing. PLEASE. He makes his money off it and now he want to change his tune. IT’S TOO LATE, these fools don’t care about life and they won’t listen to reason. This country needs to implement Marshal Law to law abiding citizens and allow them to pop these idiots off when necessary.

  • SouthernGirl

    @ be real

    What u are sayin is true. It’s a community many of us don’t understand. My sister-n-law lived in Cali for 8 years (Long Beach) and she said it was a little crazy. After her son turned 2 her and her husband (who was born and raised in South Central) moved to Florida because they didn’t want to raise a kid in Cali (plus single-family homes are expensive as he11 out there!). They do miss the diversity but their kid is an honors student on his way to high school and can wear whateva color he chooses :)

  • it’s Me

    Snoop needs to let it go… He dun did that and thank God that he survived…keep stacking your chips and try to do positive things… Remember you have kids that can easily be taken into a gang

  • 1 HATED ON

    I just want snoop & all the gangsta cali cfb fans to give this diehard cfb fan a pass considering some of us wanna ride those playoff waves at cali beaches with usc coach & playoff supporter pete carroll. I just wonder how this affects the good good market. We all can relate thru music & biggie said it best in going back to cali..going back to cali strictly for the weather, women & the green..sticky no seeds<<<KEYWORDS<<<. I'm not gangsta but I hope the freeze doesnt hold up the good good market everyone loves & I'm sure thats from east, west, south & midwest with love & respect for what gangstas do.

  • tj

    IF he is such a crip then he should know the gangs spread through the federal prison system in the 80′s and there are in fact crips and bloods all across the nation. Of course there are imposters as well but he seems to be a very low level gangster otherwise he would know about sets in Chicago and Detroit.

    +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

    U sound about as dumb as Snoop. How about this, instead of regulating the violence between gangs in and out of California, why not put a stop to gang violence. If he’s such an important figure than he should have some say in protecting our children and young adults because I’ve yet to see Blood and Crips actually help the community. Their selfish and Snoop is a dumba$$ and may I add that I’ve NEVER been a fan of his music with his ugly mangy dog looking a$$. He wish he was as cute as Snoopy the dog

  • Ur mom

    @ JB(ACC basketball, SEC basketball! Who gonna check us Boo?!)

    You are absolutely right. No one has to like what Snoop is saying, but everything he said is true…besides being in a gang is “cool.” Smh

    And yes, he is talking about Wayne. In fact, Wayne has already been pressed in L.A. Why do you think he did that song w/Jay Rock? Most people out of L.A. Don’t even know who dude is. If you come out here, you gotta pay your dues, especially if you’re hollering “soo-woo” and whatever other gang sh!t. We know you’re claiming you bang, so you will get tested when you come out.

    Out here in Cali, gangs go HARD on any and everybody…including your moms, pops, grandma, etc. As far as a different set of rules like Snoop said, you never know what’s going on. It gets gutta. You got crips bangin’ on and killing other crips, so out of towners should remain that…OUT OF TOWNERS. Just because you’re a crip or just because you’re a blood and another nicca is bangin the same color, that don’t make yall cool. You may still be an enemy.

  • Mrs. Rance

    If that is not the most ignorant crap I have ever heard I don’t know what is. GANGS WERE CREATED FOR VIOLENCE FROM JUMP. There was never any positivity in it. It’s dumb now, it was dumb when Snoop joined and it was dumb when Tookie and nem was doing it. They are all ignorant negroes who were too weak to navigate real life. Snoop is an idiot.

  • 2012

    These OUTTA TOWNERS just don’t know!!!

  • http://bossip It is what it is

    People might not agree with what Snoop is saying, but this guy is actually trying to save lives, I’m from Newark NJ where these so-called bangers kill each other on a daily basis, one don’t have to respect the banging, but the poison definately exists, I flew out to Compton to check some family members, some bloods over by Magnolia told me that bangers from all over come out there to get blessed, they either have to put in work or get worked, most of the time they get a free flight back home if you know what i mean..

  • Darwin

    What’s really odd and sad is that we got grown people on these posts talking about gang life as if it’s a career.

    Look yall talk like nobody can come to Cali and step off the plane wearing what they please without getting stepped to. Who made you God, I mean really. yall going to check the right one and get put in the ground. I guiess that’s why they stay in Cali because they can’t make it nowhere else. Yea, they might be able to step to people they come to their neighborhood, but if they come out of Cali to another state the same can happen to them. This isn’t a one way street, anybody can get killed even fools from Cali. The fact that you praise the fact of the gang life in Cali, how gangs kill each other, how they will kill without prejudice over “colors” is mind boggling. Education, job market, protecting women and kids, brotherhood; all that is out of the window. This world is cursed and these so called thugs are carrying the disease. Disgusting…………

    @Ur Mom

    The truth is if you can’t stand next to your brother or sister, see them wearing a different color, respect them for who they are, stand up for yourself without shooting a bullet, handle life situations without 50 other people, have no heart for human life, join gangs to feel powerful, not make your own money so you steal from others, bang over a piece of earth, glad to go to prison to be with your ignorant gang members, live knowing your so called “gang brother” might kill you for nothing; YOU’RE A FOOL.

    Nothing about gangs, or what Snoop is saying is based on truth or reason. Point blank. You don’t need a gang, crew, or whatever to justify your existence. It’s all BS….

  • Romy

    And this guy is a football coach to little kids. smh
    If gang life is that constructive Snoop, why don’t you go “coach” a gang of crips and be real with it.

    All if all this is true, he should let his children be the best crips they can be. Bet you they won’t. Bet you they go to the best private schools.

  • Darwin

    @citiboi

    You’re serious?

    Why people “fear” is redundant, because gangs not the only people that carry guns.

    Why people hate on them is because:
    1. Immature, ignaorant youth causing havoc
    2. Creating menaces in the society that have no moral conscious
    3. Killing innocent children, people for nothing
    4. Robbing innocent people because you have no training to go and get a job
    5. Selling drugs, destroying families for financial gain
    6. Over crowding our prison systems while we pay for your stay there
    7. Making streets unsafe for children to play outside because you can’t shoot at your target instead of everybody else around you
    8. Bullying academically talented children because their future seems brighter than yours
    9. Lazy as heck because you don’t want to work hard to achieve legal success
    10. You kill your own “members” without blinking an eye but yall claim “family”
    11. The list goes on and on…………

    You have to be joking about that dumb statement “It’s the only family they know”.

    NO EXCUSE TO BE A MENACE. PLEASE…

    What they need to do is clear out California of all innocent law abiding citizens, block off the state, go in and take out every gang member in the state. I would be the first to volunteer. Then continue it to every other state that has been infected with these idiots.

  • citiboi

    @ Darwin… i understand where you are coming from but…the fact is gangs will always be here. They know their fate & many of them could give a what about all 11 items on your list. Many don’t understand the concept of hard work & how to love themselves or others but can you blame gangs for that. It is normal for many youth to believe they will serve jail time and/or die before 21. Blame society not gangs. It is normal for people to adapt to there surroundings. However, it has gotten alot better and evolution is inevitable homie. We just have to protect ourselves from thieves, police, and gang-bangers who run up. Period.

  • http://www.bossip.com clay

    There is nothing positive about being in a gang. How can you even compare some $hi* like that to a family.
    Why do LA cats act like they are the only ones who are real gangsters anyway. Yes, they started B & C,but there were gangs in NY before there was a state of Cali. Every hood has their so called gangstas. Gangbangin only brings destruction to our communities, death to black men & women, and jail!!

  • http://www.bossip.com clay

    Even Tookie Williams said that he wished he never started that madness. Most Cali cats don’t even know the history of bangin. They are always contradicting themselves about that whole death style. From my understanding, you should never deal with the enemy, so why was Snoop dealing with Suge? His set was suppose to discipline him for that! That is the first rule that you learn from your set, even if it is about making money. They need to be focused on uplifting and protecting our communities!

  • Its6amHoGetOut, Bored because my girl, my sister and my mother went shoppin’ at 5am, you know damn well I wasnt getting up that early!
