The Snoop Dogg Manifesto

This year’s “50 Years of Hip-Hop” propaganda is not cultural celebration but a manipulation tactic. It follows Biden’s turning the Texas state remembrance known as “Juneteenth” into a spurious national holiday, and Nancy Pelosi’s donning a kente cloth and taking a knee at the Capitol, worshipping felon and drug abuser George Floyd, all to capture the black vote. A more authentic hip-hop culture event would recognize the 30th anniversary of The Chronic, the album that brought hip-hop’s political ethics to a close. After The Chronic, black Americans who used to fight against the godless, ethical decline of ghetto living simply gave up, relenting to the power of pop-culture persuasion. Thus began today’s moral concessions, such as policies in New York, the birthplace of hip-hop, whereby politicians give preference to ex-con drug dealers for licenses to sell marijuana, a.k.a. “The Chronic.”
