He was shot and killed at the St. Francis Motel. Where is that?

This was just so weird to me because I actually talked to him last Satruday. I was exploring the city and was sitting at a traffic light that's right next to the grey hound station in Midtown when he tried to get me to buy his cd. I said no and nothing else at first. But the light was long and he seemed ok, so I asked him what his name was. He was all excited and told me his name, called me sir, didn't speak ebonics, and I was on my way. Then I pull this story up this morning.

Just Weird. Did anyone else see him? He was a short guy w/ braids comin' out the side of his head. Looked thuggish of course, but my perception changed when I heard him speak.

Goodness.

The St. Francis is on OST near Scott St.

You know, these sort of things really don't happen to classical musicians.

No they don't. But I am loathe to believe that ALL rappers are gansters.

In fact I saw Snoop on Larry King Live and he was the most polite and respectable person you could have imagined. They were chatting it up like nephew and uncle.

I think the problem happens when they live the life they rap about. Some of them really do know it is just an act.

i saw some of the interview and was laughing my head off at snoop.

It was hillarious in parts. I liked when they went to eat chicken and waffles at Roscoes. LOL

No one said all rappers were gangsters, but it is a safe bet there is a strong correlation.

But Snoop Dogg was a Crip...

And......

And......

He's kind of a bad example if you're trying to prove that rappers aren't gangsters.

Look at what you said:

Back in his teenage years man. Obama snorted when he was 16. Can he not be president now?

Honestly, it looks like Snoop kinda knows the difference between his stage persona and his family and personal life. He seems to have a totally normal home life and kids.

I always thought Snoop was a good dogg, and early on he seemed a bit overwhelmed with his celebrity and stood out.

He was hip enough to understand the change in his style, his music, and himself. Yet through all these changes he managed to stay rather cool and seems to kept a good balance with his family.

But he was in jail for a gang-related murder when his debut album came out. So it's not correct that he wasn't a rapper and a gangster concurrently.

[ricco67]

Not to mentioned he was arrested at least 8 additional times for a variety of offenses as recently as April of Last year.

I don't recall Yo Yo Ma having these kinds of issues or Beverly Sills. You know what kind of wild and crazy people THOSE two are.

And that was about 15 years ago? He didn't commit the murder either.
