Snoop Dog has his say about Imus

One canine bitching about anotha as Snoop takes umbrage about being compared to the old recently-fired mange hound:

Rapper Snoop Dogg has dismissed comparisons between sexist hip hop lyrics and the recent racist remarks made by American radio DJ Don Imus. Imus was suspended by CBS Radio and MSNBC on Monday after he referred to the Rutgers University women's basketball team as 'nappy-headed hoes' - a racially charged sexist term.

Snoop frequently refers to women as "b**ches" and "hoes" in his music, but insists Imus' use of the term was unacceptable and the 66-year-old DJ should be taken off the air.

Snoop says, "It's a completely different scenario,

"(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 s--t, that's trying to get a n--ga 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 muthaf**kas say we are in the same league as him.

"Kick him off the air forever."

I'm not even trying to touch that one ("snickers slyly"). Question: Did Snoop even grow up in "tha hood?" I mean, aren't his uncles the Gap Band who made much bank in the 70's and 80's (I loved them, BTW)?
