BRODY JENNER HAS A small DICK!!!4REAL
he's right, i've been book smart and street smart. street's better…
yet another low-class scumbag with no talent
yet another low-life scumbag with no talent
KEEP IT PIMPIN LIKE THE REAL G U R MY NIG.
At least he learnt something …. asshole!
here we have another crackhead
What is the statute of limitations on prosecution for the sale of schedule 1 drugs? While I am enjoy Snoop's music, I am having a problem with how many artists today are willing to brag about there past lives as hard drug dealers…
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.
I just can't begin to tell you all the things I learned by stealing ciggies while I was in junior high.
this is why i love him
alright so why don't you use your common sense to build a suspension bridge that millions of cars drive over everyday you dumbass. some people…
He's so proud of being a crack dealer and a pot head.
Let's see how happy he is when his kids follow in his sleazy footsteps.
THE SMARTEST OF PPL DIDNT GO TO COLLEGE…………….COLLEGE DOESNT TEACH U COMMON SENSE OR MONEY SENSE
Another D.A.N. They don't learn.
Street Smart equals Crime Logic.
What'd he learn from being involved in murder? Oh I bet he could just open up his own private school with all his knowledge. Such a smart, smart man indeed.
What a role model you are. I can't wait to see how proud of yourself you are when your kids follow in your foot steps.
yeah cuz common sense invented the internet, vaccines, surgery procedures, etc.
great message snoop, hey kids, dont go to college - sell crack and help murder someone! yey! we're so smart! screw doctors, they dont have common sense!
Not sure about the whole crack-selling thing (it does make sense, though…) but common sense is SO SO SO VERY RARE nowadays!!!! Scary!!!!
Thank you for confirming what everyone already knew. You're a crackhead with shit for brains. A natural for Hollywood.
he just majorly contradicted himself.
see kids? this is why you SHOULD go to college.
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.
Re: elli –
I am with #17 on this one
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.
I went to school kind of late in life, and some of the biggest fucking idiots were the kids I went to college with
snoop dogg is a fucking idiot. hes from the ghetto where he sold crack. fucking negroid.
homeboy is right.
He SOLD crack?
That's brazen even for Snoop.
You know, I think he's right–
id rather be a homeboy from the ghetto than a skste board , booger picking white boy who lets his mom and dad f@ck him…. bratty azz mofo kids and then when they get in the real world they want to prostitute, do drugs and plan to kill their parents who effed them to death when they were kids…yeah folks rather be from the ghetto at least the folks from there are real and not fakers!
yo yo noimsaayin goin git me sum dis n dat noimsaain yo yo
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!
Re: sam – Maybe not all that, but if it weren't for Bill Gates' common sense, you wouldn't be sitting there in from of your computer posting these comments.
Re: Laura – Actually, if you are able to obtain both, you have a big advantage over someone having one or the other.
WHY DON'T YOU EVER POST MY COMMENTS PEREZ???!?!? UGHHHH YOU MAKE ME SO MAD WTF
Ahaha! LOVE IT!
Re: cutie – Spoken like the true Racist that you are.
Re: hader – LOLZ
What a slimey ni99er
the worst thing is people who are stupid and don't even know it
If only I had sold crack and punted med school…..
OMG! If he went to college, he wouldn't have said something so stupid. Dumb ass.
uh huh….but an even bigger fool for selling poison rather than doing something more constructive..like being a positive role model for your peers rather than partaking in bringing about their demise..real smart..real smart in deed.
Hilarious! HAHAHA
Lmao
hes got a good point
luv ya snoop xoxo
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.
….AND THAT MORONIC STATEMENT IS WHY HE SHOULD'VE GONE TO COLLEGE
He's wrong. Logic and critical thinking rule over everything else.
Did this niggra even graduate from high school?
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.
(Junior college doesn't count.)
I THINK THESE ARE WORDS OF WISDOM ILL TAKE THEM
EVERY WHERE I GO!!!
I fucking love him!
He does not give two shits about what people think or say about him and that is the mark of true man. I LOVE YOU SNOOP!!
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?
But that's completely true.
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.
I was with him until he made the crack statement. Although it was funny.
oh my Gosh… i was with him until i read the last sentence, then i just lost it! hilarious!!
He's an asshole!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
Is that Snoop 's double g in his right pocket - or - is he gainning "A" little poundage in them pants ????
Thank you, thank you, thank you for allowing me to laugh so hard and so loud on a Monday morning! This quote is hilarious!
I guess it was that brilliant common sense that got him banned from the UK.
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.
Re: Brenna – the mark of a true man is having sold crack. wow, you are just as smart as he is. I am sure MLK would be so proud.
He is so effin ugly I got a little sick from lookin at him. No more please.
LOL… "The truth shall set you free!" … @ least he's honest! lol…:D what a retard!
the lesson learned is that drugs do not discriminate, they go for every socio economic level and every walk of life!!!
haha amazing.
if i had the power, Snoop would have an honorary Harvard degree.
Re: amy wi – iT's A dUmber Way oF sAyin SteeT sMaRts BeaTs BoOk SmaRtS AnYDay…
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaajajajajajajajajajajjaja
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!!??
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!
uhhm why is snoop standing in front of a CMT background :S?
GIRRRRRRLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!
Lawzy, Lawzy…..just another lazy bluegum fieldhand rationalizing his self-importance by attempting to negate the hard-earned academic educations of those with enough energy and wherewithal to get off their lazy, stoned asses and go to real-world school.
its true. He's richer than 90% of of people that went to Harvard.
So I wasted four years getting a degree? I should have been selling crack, and I probably could have learned a lot about business and human services from prostitution. Damn, I wish I was as smart as Snoop.
Golden.
damn right, dogg! snoop, ya gotta love the pimp!
LMAO! The sad part is, he's right — common sense ain't so common now-a-days.
