Last time I saw Snoop he was in Live8 sporting two very cute ponytails… I was like…WTF?

I mean, the guy who turned my brother into a hustler with doggystyle, probably the apex of Gangsta Rap (with Straight Outta Compton and the Chronic), the guy who had this routine where gangbanging, smoking dope, smacking people around, packing heat and blasting caps in niggaz asses, getting head from the ladyezz (not that he called them that) and then running away and maybe smacking ‘em around a bit too, pimpin’, getting involved in the porn business, getting arrested with lots of drugs and nine mils blahblah is what you do from 12AM to 3PM before getting heavy? and now he was doing it for the children? was he gonna play ‘Lodi Dodi’??

My flatmates, who were watching it, replied that now he’s clean and he has discovered Jesus yadayada, well, whatever, to be honest I hadn’t really followed him since the Chronic 2000, when I started getting tired of his stoned flow, smoke weed blahblah bitch blah blah the original d to the oggy gee blah… I don’t care if he’s clean or not, he surely looks well fresh!! And he’s got a blog!! (not actually him but it’s funny)

Also have to admit that ‘drop it like it’s hot’ is rather ace, a nasty sketchy club motherfucker where he manages to sound so cool I almost decided to follow my bro’s path and start wearing a doo rag (I mean, he doesn’t, for clifford’s sake, the motherfucker’s got some style!!)…He also inspired Count Fuckula’s drop it like it’s garlic, something that I’m still waiting to see live…

Anyway, imagine the track got remixed by some mysterious french people who just sped the rythm a bit, looped the anthemic parts and the funny noises and added an acid workout at the end? how good would that be? there…

Les Visiteurs- Snoop drops acid

That’s for the city, but you need something for the country too. Snoop has not only inspired thousands of suburbia middle class white boys, leading them to discover their inner little bow wow, he’s also had an influence in them folks out there in the fields, who say’s this music is ‘urban’?

The Gourds- Gin and Juice

This track by The Gourds, from Austin Texas, has got to be one of the greatest cover versions ever recorded, replacing baseball caps with trucker hats, pimped up rides with pick up tracks, throwing dice in the alley with playing frisbee with roadkill, g funk synths with banjos, big booty bitches with saucy waitresses and I could go on for ever. It keeps the spirit of the original so alive even after the formal twists that it makes one feel that Noam Chomsky’s theories of a universal generative grammar in all babies has got to be right. It is included in the awesome Rough Trade’s Country comp as well as in their 1998 album ‘Gogitchyershinebox’ where they cover Ziggy Stardust too…

And enough of all this gangsterism, I hope that all of you readers are over 18, we don’t want to put wrong ideas in childrens’ headz, now I’m going to hang out with ma peeps, we’re gonna do a bus by on those moulsecoomb rascals. Hove 4 life!
