Standing in my local high school gym the atmosphere was energized. People were chanting “Time for a Change!” The Secret Service combed Wayne High School as a massive line formed outside the school in the rain. Barack Obama was scheduled to speak at 11 a.m. A whisper that he was running late due to speaking with local ministers began to run through the crowd.
Finally when Obama took the stage the audience cheered and screamed. It was reminiscent of the Nickelback concert I attended, but with a lack of women professing their undying love and virginity. As camera flashes were blinding I stood in the front row and yelled out:
Mr. Obama how do you feel about Snoop Dog accusing you of accepting funding from the KKK?
The people around me looked at me like I just asked him for a mustache ride. I really wasn’t shocked. Apparently not hearing me, I yelled it again as I made eye contact with him. Obviously trying to make it to the podium he merely said:
“It is completely untrue.”
Still smiling he moved on unfazed. His speech began with honoring the late Dr. Martin Luther King. Today is the 40th anniversary of the assassination of Dr. King. The energy in the room became a little more demur and solemn. As he read from the speech the bitter people around me who don’t appreciate journalism asked me what I probed the possible future president about.
Snoop Dogg accused Obama of accepting support and funding from the Klu Klux Klan. SF Gate reports Snoop’s feelings on Barack.
“The KKK gave Obama money. They was (sic) one of his biggest supporters … Why wouldn’t they be? The media won’t tell you that. They don’t want you to know that. They just want you to know that this [bleep] befriended this other [bleep] who be (sic) threatening your values. But we all know all presidents lie to get into [bleep] office. That’s they (sic) job. In America’s eyes, that mutha[bleep]’s gonna be president ‘cos (John) McCain can’t [bleep] with him. Hillary (Clinton) can’t [bleep] with him. He’s winning over white people, white ladies.”
When question time came around I tried to make an attempt for the microphone. Oddly enough I was pretty much snubbed. Instead he talked about gun violence, the war in Iraq and “squiggly light bulbs.”
Now this is a story to tell the fantasy grandchildren.

Snoop’s reality tv adventure features his parenting skills and love of fried chicken and waffles. “Father Hood” has already featured his three children playing soccer with David Beckham and literally rolling in cash. I too spend my weekends doing the same thing.
Wanting his piece of the action, Snoop’s lovechild has entered the scene telling Star mag that he is being intentionally left out. Long story short…Calvin Broadus, aka Snoop, married Shante in the 90’s. He had a brief fling with said lovechild’s mother, Laurie Holmond. After their affair she gave birth to Julian who she claims is Snoops biological son. Calvin and Shante had three more children which are featured on the show. He occasionally visited Julian, age 9, until 2003 before severing ties.
Holmond has since gotten the court involved to get Snoop involved in his life again. The child claims he just wants to “get to know his family” and has no intentions of breaking into showbiz. Why a camera has to be rolling for him to do this is beyond me, but I have a feeling Shante is not a happy camper.

Snoop Dogg pled guilty yesterday to one count of felony possession of a dangerous weapon and was sentenced to 160 hours of community service, three years’ probation, and ordered to pay a $10,000 charitable donation.
Snoop was arrested last September after the discovery of a collapsible baton in his computer bag at John Wayne Airport in Orange County. Despite his attempt to argue that it was a prop for a video he was filming in New York, authorities deemed the baton a dangerous weapon.
Snoop’s attorney, Donald Etra, said the felony conviction would be reduced to a misdemeanor after one year if he doesn’t violate the law.
 “We are very pleased with the outcome,” Etra said. “Snoop’s goal is to make music, not make court appearances.
“He wants to get on with his life. He will continue his music and his filming and performing.”

After the ESPY’s, Kevin Connolly was hanging out with Suge Knight, a man who has to be twice Kevin’s size. Apparently Kevin thought he could take him, and the two started playfully wrestling at LeBron James’ after-party at the Mondrian. And then Suge went Mike Tyson on Kevin’s ass and bit him. Not on the ear, at least.
“Kevin and Suge were wrestling and Suge literally bit Kevin’s finger,” says a witness. “He was bleeding everywhere. Kevin didn’t seem too upset, although he must have been in tons of pain.”
Suge celebrated with lap dance from Paris Hilton. OK, the lap dance and the wrestling match are not connected, but witnesses did say there was a Paris Hilton lap dance. That stripper pole in her house is coming in handy.
In case you’re wondering who Suge Knight is:
Suge is the co-founder and CEO of Death Row Records, a label whose musicians have included Tupac, Dr. Dre, and Snoop Dogg.

Constance Rice,* a civil rights attorney in Los Angeles, has the smartest take I’ve yet seen on the Don Imus “nappy headed hos” controversy.
More to the point, Imus should only be fired when the black artists who make millions of dollars rapping about black bitches and hos lose their recording contracts. Black leaders should denounce Imus and boycott him and call for his head only after they do the same for the misogynist artists with whom they have shared stages, magazine covers and awards shows.
The truth is, Imus’ remarks mimic those of the original gurus of black female denigration: black men with no class. He is only repeating what he’s heard and being honest about the way many men — of all races — judge women.
Just as black comedians who make mean jokes about Asians and Latinos don’t see themselves as racists, I’m sure that Imus doesn’t see himself as a racist either. He reveres blues artists such as B.B. King and Ray Charles. He praises American icons such as Jackie Robinson and Martin Luther King Jr. He clearly likes former Tennessee Rep. Harold Ford and has interviewed Sharpton a few times. He treated Lani Guinier with uncharacteristic respect during her guest appearance to discuss her latest book.
His sympathy for the Katrina victims came through. And after the James Byrd dragging-lynching in Texas in 1998, Imus did not joke. In serious tones that couldn’t hide his sorrow or disgust, he quietly remarked that it was unwise for black people to ever trust whites.
After listening to him for 10 years, I’ve concluded that Imus is not a malevolent racist. He is a good-natured racist. And the streak of decency running down his self-centered, mean persona is sometimes pretty wide.
That captures Imus perfectly, I think.
I used to listen to the show a quite a bit during my morning commute and have seen the MSNBC simulcast a handful of times. My general take is that he’s a weird dude. He’s simultaneously a self-centered jerk who berates his staff and will ramble on for weeks on end about some perceived slight and a guy who devotes considerable time, energy, and money in trying to ease the suffering of kids with cancer and other debilitating diseases. He’s both a Neanderthal and a patron of the arts. He’s a naive rube and an incurable cynic. Most bright, talented folks are a bundle of contradictions, I guess, but Imus is much more so than most.
Some of the show’s humor, especially that by executive producer Bernard McGuirk, is undeniably racial but probably no more “racist” than that of Lenny Bruce or Red Foxx or Richard Pryor or Chris Rock or Dave Chapelle or Carlos Mencia. No doubt, we’ve learned time and again, it’s different when a member of an ethnic group makes a joke about his own kind than when an outsider does. Yet Rock, Chapelle, Mencia, and others make plenty of jokes about other races without getting nearly the condemnation of Imus.
And, unlike Imus, their material is all pre-scripted. With the exception of some recorded bits, Imus does four hours of off-the-cuff talk every morning.
Duncan Black, taking exception to similar comparisons made by Howard Kurtz on CNN, is dubious of the logic that, because “other people have used the word ho in other contexts” Imus shouldn’t be condemned for it. But Kevin Drum is right:
A slur aimed at specific people is obviously different than a generic slur in a rap song, but it’s not that different. If one is offensive, so is the other, and it’s hard to argue that the cesspool of misogyny in contemporary rap has no effect on the wider culture. It’s not that this excuses what Imus did. It’s just the opposite. If we’re justifiably outraged by what Imus said, shouldn’t we be just as outraged with anybody else who says the same thing, regardless of their skin color?
You’d think.
Imus has been, rightly so, condemned for using racial and gender slurs to describe some decent women whose only sin, apparently, was being less physically appealing to the Imus staff than their counterparts on the Lady Vols. But I don’t see why that’s much worse than rappers and comedians–who are much more influential with our young people than the geezerly Imus–constantly using that language to apply to women generally.
At the same time, though, effective humor is often edgy. Bruce, Pryor, Rock, and others used humor to positively impact the discussion of the incredibly sensitive issue of race. We don’t want to outlaw words that make people angry, nor put topics that make them uncomfortable off the table.
It’s perfectly reasonable for the corporation that pays Imus’ check to want to protect its image and avoid alienating its advertisers and audience. At the same time, it’s been clear for a quarter century or more that this is who Imus is. Firing him for something Rice correctly notes “doesn’t even come close to one of his meaner riffs” would be much more egregious than his remarks.
UPDATE: Calvin Cordozar Broadus, Jr., perhaps better known by his nom-de-rap “Snoop Dogg,” has weighed in on the controversy.
Snoop frequently refers to women as “b**ches” and “hos” in his music, but he insists Imus’ use of the term was unacceptable and the 66-year-old DJ should be taken off the air.
The Doggystyle star 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 hos 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.”
Via Steven Taylor, who observes, “To be honest, Snoop’s right–he and Imus aren’t in the same league. Snoop and his ilk are worse in terms of propagating racist and sexist stereotypes and attitudes in our culture.” As if to prove this, the AP provides “Snoop Dogg Hit With Gun and Drug Charges.”
You can’t make this stuff up.

*As an aside, Drum reports that Constance Rice is a second cousin to Condoleeza Rice, who she admires personally even though she doesn’t share her politics. I suspect they’d agree on this particular issue, though.

Man oh man… I love Snoop Dogg, but this was truly a dumb thing for him to do. Surely he knew what would go down. The Rapper, who was found carrying a collapsible baton through security at a southern California airport, has been charged with possession of a deadly weapon in the case, prosecutors said Thursday.
An arrest warrant was issued for the 35-year-old rapper under his real name, Calvin Broadus, a spokeswoman for the Orange County District Attorney’s Office said. He faces a maximum sentence of three years in state prison if convicted.
“He either turns himself in or he gets picked up by law enforcement,” spokeswoman Susan Schroeder said, adding that prosecutors had contacted the entertainer’s representatives and asked that he surrender.
Schroeder said Broadus was trying to catch a flight from Orange County’s John Wayne Airport with two bodyguards on Sept. 27 when airport security saw a long metal object in his laptop case. Opening the case, the officers discovered a 20-inch collapsible baton inside.
The rap star also was arrested last week at the Burbank airport, outside Los Angeles, after police said they found a gun and marijuana in his car. He was booked and released on $35,000 bail in that case.
Though possession of the baton could be filed as a lesser misdemeanor charge, Schroeder said Broadus was charged with a felony “based on his background and criminal record.”
Broadus has said the baton was a prop in a video he was to make in New York and he was unaware it was illegal to take it on a plane. source
Goodbye yellow brick road, hello hip hop. He’s kidding right? Tell me he’s kidding!
 Elton John tells Rolling Stone magazine that he wants to record a hip-hop album with Grammy-winning producer Dr. Dre. “I want to work with Pharrell , Timbaland, Snoop, Kanye, Eminem and just see what happens,” John says in the Sept. 7 issue. “It may be a disaster, it could be fantastic, but you don’t know until you try.”
The 59-year-old says he is a fan of Blackstreet’s “No Diggity” and Tupac Shakur’s “California Love.” “I want to bring my songs and melodies to hip-hop beats,” John says. “I love these beats, but I have no idea how to get them.”

Rapper Snoop Dogg has been banned from the UK.
Snoop Dogg has been barred from entering the UK - ever again. The rapper was slapped with the ban after he and his minders were involved in a “mini-riot” at London’s Heathrow airport last month.
The incident occurred when the 34-year-old - real name Calvin Broadus - and several other men were denied entry to a British Airways’ first-class lounge. A brawl ensued and seven officers were left with minor injuries, including cuts and bruises. One suffered a fractured hand.
The hip-hop star has already been given a police caution for the incident and was banned from flying with British Airways. According to reports, he has now been told his criminal record in his native America - which includes drug and gun offences - bars him from returning to Britain.
Perhaps DMX’s arrest was a subtle homage to the master?

Rapper DMX was arrested after causing a ruckus when told to put on his seatbelt on an overseas flight.
Police arrested DMX after the rap star refused to put on a seat belt and became abusive on a flight from New York to London, authorities said Monday. DMX, whose real name is Earl Simmons, received a caution and was released after his American Airlines flight landed at Heathrow Airport on Saturday, police said on condition of anonymity in line with departmental policy. A caution means a person has accepted responsibility for the offense, and a record will be made.
The 35-year-old rapper completed a 70-day sentence late last year in New York City after pleading guilty to violating his parole following a 2004 incident in which he crashed his sport utility vehicle through an airport security gate.
He was behind the 1999 hit single “Party Up (Up in Here).” His last album was “Grand Champ” in 2003, but he is working on another album, to be released this summer.
Shocking. Who would ever suspect a rapper would comport himself in any but the most gentlemanly manner? Then again, who wouldn’t get irate when being told to put on a seatbelt? Who did that bitch think she was, anyway?
