      While I don't approve of crack use or dealing, he is right when he says that common sense is more important than book sense. I have known too many educated fools. An education is useless if you are lame. Gotta love me some Snoop. :)

      Re: sam

      Book smarts and street smarts are two different things, jackass. He's not saying "Don't go to college." You can graduate at the top of your class and still not know what the hell to do when you go out to eat, drive, walk down the street, etc.

      I know a lot of people with street smarts AND book smarts. I would say having both is more important than just having street smarts. Going to college and reading books does not take away your common sense.

      Snoop is the man.
      But I hope he stopped producing porn. For his wife, and children´s sake.
      Doggystyle is the best rap album ever. Even one of the best albums ever.

      ps. I like porn, but not the movie he made.

      peace, love.

      What does selling crack and going to college have in common besides the fact that they both begin with "C?" I think Snoop may have smoked some of that crack too. Although he is right, there is a difference between having what some call "book sense" and common sense. His analogy just sucked!

      Selling crack or reading a school book is no guarantee of common sense. For him to imply that being a crack dealer instilled street smarts is a load of hooey. He likely got that trait from someone influential, like his mother or father. I just love how uneducated people love putting themselves on intellectual par with educated people, when they have absolutely no clue how difficult it is to achieve a proper education. I believe old snoop is guilty of the "appeal to ridicule" and "composition" fallacies, among others.

      It's not a question of actually GOING to college.
      What separates the stupid from those of us with brains is the ability to get INTO college.

      Re: Erin – What? Was that even fucking necessary?
      You are low class honey, not Snoop. And btw to everyone that thinks his kids will follow in his footsteps: that's the point geniuses! They wont HAVE to sell crack. And I'm sure he sold to those CSULB college kids, wonder where those college kids are now?

      The irony is that,if it weren't for "book smarts" _neither_ the technology that makes this blog, _or_ Snoop Dog's CDs, _possible_ would _exist_.

      What a dumb f*ck… but that's Snoop, a slimeball who cashed in on a craze and, even given a lot of free passes, has blown it.

      Those from the streets know that the streets teach you more than any book ever will. Being book smart and street smart, I know the difference and anyone who misconstrues the statement, or does not understand what he is saying, is obviously not smart in either sense…

      True that, but if you had enough common sense Snoop you would know that common sense and an eduction packs a way bigger punch.

      Snoop is a "Baller". They sell crack to make money to support a marijuana habit. A crackhead is a "Clucker". A Baller does not smoke crack, only deals it, so he is higher, on the socio-economic pecking order in the drug world, than a Clucker.
      A Baller is better than a Clucker, has more street cred., etc.
      Now, doesn't this all make sense…??? ;)

      I can agree wit snoop on common sense, but selling crack! Besides people how many of you wanna bet baby hogan is gonna try to start his own reality tv show after his prison sentence. Then try to portray himself as some super street wise refined and hardened ex prison bad ass!!??

      88

      His comment just annoys me. Have you ever met some of the ignoratn people that have sold drugs? Yeah, they can tell you a lot about what they learned on the histroy channel, or animal planet, but come on, when it comes to anything intellectual they can't do it. Persoanlly I know enough of them to find them to be the boring ones. College makes you an open-minded, well rounded person.

      Remember his comment about the Rodgers BBall girls team how he said these college girls are not like the nappy headed hoes from the streets. He is totally contradicting himself and trying to make himself sound better by what he did his life. Many crack dealers think they are gonna get some big record deal…. dram on… it will never happen. They will have drug felonies and never get a good job.

      I think snoop is a hypocrite now!
