Snoop weighs in Greg Pollowitz Media Blog Snoop Dogg on why it's unfair to compare his lyrics to what Don Imus said: <<< "It's a completely different scenario," said Snoop, barking over the phone from a hotel room in L.A. "[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 ho's that's in the 'hood that ain't doing sh—, that's trying to get a n—-a for his money. These are two separate things. First of all, we ain't no old-ass white men that sit up on MSNBC [which announced Wednesday it would drop its simulcast of Imus' radio show] 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 mutha——as say we in the same league as him." >>> and... <<< "Kick him off the air forever," he said. "Ban him like they did [Adam] 'Pacman' Jones. They kicked him out the [National Football] League for the whole season [for numerous violations of the NFL's personal-conduct policy, including multiple arrests], but this punk gets to get on the air and call black women 'nappy-headed ho's.' " >>> For the record, Snoop Dogg pleaded no contest today to felony gun and drug charges and Jones was banned for the year because he has had 10 incidents involving the police since 2006, including a shooting at a Vegas night spot that left a man paralyzed.
