what a disappointment

This was a totally disappointing experience. Doors were at 9 and Snoop was supposed to come on at 10. We left at 12:30...and still no Snoop. Couldn't find a manager or anyone to ask for a refund. Sure I've been to concerts that started late before...but not this late. Completely unprofessional all around.

Feb 29, 2008 - YogiBear on Snoop Dogg
Gone are the Gangster Days...Instead, it's Girls Gone Wild!

Or maybe Snoop Dawg is even beyond that now. I remember when his career started burgeoning, journalists would interview him and it'd be incredibly difficult to decipher anything he said other than, "You know what I'm sayin?!" No, Snoop! What the heck are you saying?! Nowadays, besides just rapping -- which has transitioned into more R&B player style (by the way, I love his new song: "Sexual Seduction" or the uncensored version "Sexual Eruption" -- it's hilarious how these guys can get away with singing this stuff!), Snoop is now a family man coaching his son's sports teams and spending time with the family on a hit reality show. How times change...
