Seems like Snoop Dogg has a message for cats coming up in the Hip Hop game… Be original… The Golden Era in Hip Hop was so great because of the varying styles that were on display… You had choices… Now… Well I will let Snoop elaborate…

“I love Future.. Migos… I love all them. Drake” Snoop stated. “They my n—-s, but I don’t know who is who when the record is over.

“When I came out as a rapper,” he continued, “everyone had their own style. If you sounded like someone else, that word was called biting. You biting my style, you biting my s—.”

Snoop Dogg continued by discussing his tribute to Slick Rick and Doug E. Fresh… “I paid n—-s who I grew up loving. I’m gonna redo your song, get you paid all over again, and let everybody know it’s your shit, and put a twist on it for the new kids who don’t even know it exist,” he said of the song. “That’s a different way of showing love as opposed to everyone rapping the same style.”

According to Billboard… Bill O’Reilly is blaming the decline of religion in America on hip-hop… I guess you gotta blame something… Truth be told there are tons of reasons religion has taken a back seat in the U.S… And I believe the thought of the American dream has more to do with it than anything else… Wealth!!! You know the thing that is the root of all evil… Money… What does that make Money Mayweather? The Devil?…

Back to Bill… “There is no question that people of faith are being marginalized by a secular media and pernicious entertainment,” O’Reilly stated… “The rap industry, for example, often glorifies depraved behavior. That sinks into the minds of some young people — the group that is most likely to reject religion.”

According to Billboard the Washington Post points out that black Americans are actually the least likely group to reject religion these days. And considering that black Americans are statistically more likely to listen to hip-hop than white Americans, the whole “hip-hop is killing religion” argument almost immediately falls apart.
