It seems the "de-gangstafication" (coined after watching this movie) of yet another hip-hop figure has taken place.
Snoop Dogg could be forgiven for Old School, which was - at least - an R-rated comedy. Even that show he did for MTV upheld his image somewhat (though not as much as his critically acclaimed series of Girls Gone Wild videos). But TV commericials with Lee freaking Iacocca are too much.
Yeah, yeah...Chrysler needed someone recognizable to the kids to offset the fact that nobody under the age of 20 has any idea who Iacocca is. But if Snoop hadn't stepped up, I'm sure Ashton Kutcher, either of the Olsen twins, or Beyonce would have been only too happy to oblige. Lovingly referring to the CEO of Chrysler as "Mocha Cocca" and "Icazizzle" while sporting pastel-colored golf togs means the de-gangstafication of Snoop Dogg is complete. A pair of APCB bowling shoes and a Dale Earnhardt sticker (the number "8" "3" with a halo) are in the mail.
When the shit jumps off what the fuck you gonna do? / Damn it feels good to be a golfa.
You typoed Earnhardt and apparently also typoed 8 for 3, unless there is some subtle gag there I'm missing. I'd suggest you correct it quickly before you are assaulted.
Misspelling the name was a mistake. The 8 was in jest, but point taken.
Add to all this Kayne West's appearance on the cover of Time this week as a good guy rapper.
Snoop's invasion of all things caucasion is probably just much-deserved cultural payback for that inexplicable trend in the late 90s/early 00s that had young white kids rapping in commercials for everything from peanut butter to Summer's Eve.
Payback is a bitch.
That's Bee-yoch, yo. ;)
The collegiate togs are bad enough. But that golf swing! Jesus!
