Snoop Dogg on Don Imus

So who knew? Snoop Dogg, rapper, one-time pimp, blatant misogynist, chauvinist pig, and dick-head incarnate, is, in fact, an enlightening philosopher, gifted social critic, and champion of racial equality! Who knew? (Mouthafuckas!)

In response to the recent Don Imus incident, the rapper gave an outraged and indignant interview (and, to give him credit, it must be hard to even appear indignant when as constantly baked as he is), in which he said that sexist remarks in his songs and Imus's sexist statements are "completely different scenarios". This from a man who seems to prefer the words "bitches" and "hos" to well, any other words in the English language, and who infamously appeared at the MTV music awards with two barely dressed woman on leashes (and wearing pretty pink price tags).

But hey, it gets better. Just read what he said.

"(Rappers) are not talking about no collegiate basketball girls who have made it to the next level in education and sports. We're talking about hoes that's in the 'hood that ain't doing shit, that's trying to get a nigga for his money. These are two separate things. First of all, we ain't no old-ass white men that sit up on MSNBC going hard on black girls. We are rappers that have these songs coming from our minds and our souls that are relevant to what we feel. I will not let them muthafuckas say we are in the same league as him. Kick him off the air forever."

So whaddyaknow? Snoop Dogg is an eloquent, intelligent, compassionate human being after all. And he coaches football. (Apparently he doesn't keep the kids on leashes, though. He leaves that to Michael.)
