    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. :)

    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!!!!

    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.

    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.)

    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…

  78. Lor says – reply to this

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