Snoop Dogg may be one of the most easy going rappers in Hip-Hop, but the West Coast rhymeslinger exposed a different persona years ago while contemplating the death of his former Death Row Records boss Marion “Suge” Knight.
 
In an upcoming interview with Rolling Stone, Snoop traced the source of his frustration to when Dr. Dre left Death Row to start his Aftermath record label.
 
That move, coupled with Snoop’s defection to Master P’s No Limit Records, resulted in bad blood with Knight, who was serving a five year jail sentence at the time.
 
“The n***a threatened my life when he was in jail,” Snoop revealed to the publication. “N***as tried to get at me at concerts; they put my address on a tape. He was gonna give a n***a a Benz if a n***a cut my hair. All kinda f****n’ with me.”

50 CENT is accusing Hollywood of double standards after seeing the new JAMES BOND holding a gun in posters for CASINO ROYALE – a year after billboards of him sporting a weapon caused a furore. The rapper – real name CURTIS JACKSON – is appalled by the fact no one has raised a fuss about DANIEL CRAIG’s gun-toting posters when he was castigated for posing with a weapon in billboards for movie GET RICH OR DIE TRYIN’. He says, “Get Rich Or Die Tryin’ comes out and they want to protest because they see a gun in my hand but James Bond comes out or MR + MRS SMITH will come out with guns and it’s acceptable. “You can see any kind of gun there is to see on the covers of films. You can go in Blockbuster and see every gun that was ever made.” The rap star calls for one universal ruling about weapons in movie posters – and he’ll accept whatever the Hollywood film police decide. He adds, “Let’s not start with 50 Cent and stop with 50 Cent. Let’s do it everywhere else and make it unacceptable period. I would gladly join the rest of entertainment if we get there.”

B: I didn’t know this? Shed some light, girl.
 
V: (laughs) I mean, he just asked me to hang out with him. I met him at a party. He was cool, but I was not interested in him like that, y’know? So I was always like, “I’m sorry. I’m sorry. I’m busy. I’m busy.” Every time he had asked. It was through emails. We just exchanged emails. And that was it. And then I hear about this song. So I was like, “Damn. I didn’t know he was gonna take rejection so personally.” You know what it is. A lot of people in the industry are used to getting what ever they want and who ever they want because of who they are, y’know? And when you reject them, it’s not anything personal. It’s just that they might not be your style or your flavor. It could be different things. They take it real personally. Obviously.
