edit 1- never mind I missed something
edit 2- Never mind I didn't actually miss anything important in the article. I should have just kept my original post. I guess I'll just say that I don't think block tower is making any sense...like at all
this post sums it up

*Looks at Nickleback*
I know what you were getting at here and this is a really overplayed joke but I felt obliged to make it
Also good on Snoop. Glad to see this sort of thing.
So people don't lie for publicity, attention, marketability, and money somewhere between birth and death?

Are you related to them or something
Do you know how to read or are you still learning?
He isn't "retroactively changing his art". His old lyrics arestill there and not going away. He's talking about his lyrics from here on out. Is it that hard to understand?

I'm kinda the same. Something like 80% of the time I tune the lyrics out. I follow DJs/producers a lot more than rappers tbh. Listen to instrumentals.
Cmon now. He knew his lyrics were sexist and hurtful when he started. He also knew he wasnt going to make any money in the gangsta rap world by making songs for feminists. lol.

A lot of negativity toward Snoop in this thread.
Is it really that hard to consider he might have smoked some weed and calmed down?
Or better yet, maybe he was just writing tough lyrics to sound gangster?
I can think of another rapper that does this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RT9O-pUGsVM

-2003, when Snoop quit smoking weed
by the way here's a picture of him smoking weed with his son
It's really sad. God forbid a "rapper" does something that's different and uplifting without it being called a publicity stunt. Damn if you do...damn if you don't I guess :/.
Also, his lyrics aren't necessarily supposed to be taken literally or are direct thought processes of Snoop Dogg, it could just be him singing about the hood and his experiences and the culture.
It sounds like to me that he didnt have good female role models growing up though and learned to disrespect them because of that. As he grew, more and more women showed up and made him change his views. He expressly states that that is the reason why he chooses not to use those words, not because he's afraid of pissing off a feminist. He's not really "censoring" his art cause no one really gives a shit about the lyrics he sang 20 years ago.

Wow fuck whoever wrote that article. A dude actually tries to change for the better and all they do is point out his offensive lyrics from the past. I applaud him for his change in writing style and outlook on women. It's refreshing to hear someone be so honest in the entertainment business regardless of what he's written in the past.

I can appreciate good singers, though. Just never cared for lyrics. Most vocalists muff them as well.
Heh
Dre holding his hand 0_o???
Really?? Dude was carrying Dre on his own album (The Chronic). Snoop at least wrote his own shit at the time.

He's just getting old. This is what happens to people as they get older, they often start to think and take time to reflect more than they used to.
Money says that in ten years he'll become slightly to full on overly religious as well. I can't wait to see Snoop GOD.
Cool. I went to a Jay-Z/Beyoncé singalong not too long ago, and the contrast between the two was jarring. With the former, mainly in his old stuff, you had a lot of rampant misogyny, the same as Snoop. Then a Beyoncé song would come up, putting a powerful woman in immediate proximity to these sexist themes, and her songs were much softer or more often about empowerment. It was interesting.
Glad to see an artist directly from that "bitches, hoes, tricks" era comment on growing beyond it.

And uh...point out that he's trying to change for the better. What the hell are you talking about?
What the hell is he talking about? The article didn't celebrate his evolution whatsoever, but treated it as something comical that warranted skepticism, while emphasizing all the horrible lyrics he had written and his absence of regret.
All too typically shitty and indignant and BuzzFeedish. HuffPo sucks.

I think most people thinking people dislike his lyrics because they're offensive are missing the point. The problem with the lyrics is that they encourage violence to women, which is pretty horrible imo.

what do you want them to do? Give him a parade? Call him a hero? He didn't exactly say anything that was extremely admirable either

No stance taken, just a rhetorical question released into the world for all to ponder.
Cool of Snoop. It's not like he's retroactively changing the lyrics. Chill out people, damn.
Sure, give him a parade. Or continue flashing this brand of empathy/sensitivity that is casually hostile to differences, flaws, and generally to the shortcomings and complications of the human condition. Don't really care what HuffPo does, a bad article is little more than that, but this article is definitely that.

What's his current thoughts on Iggy Azalia?
Oh look, a defender of incest and child abuse, all in one. Bravo.

Not only is he not changing his past art, he's not even apologizing for those lyrics. Do you want him to write rhymes that he doesn't even believe in, or create new art?
