Snoop Dogg Rolls Up and Smokes Rolling Stone Cover

11/29/06, 11:50 am EST

Snoop DoggOur cover shoot with Snoop was a swirling cloud of craziness: Roscoe’s chicken and In-N-Out burgers flying around the room, man, and the BET Awards pre-show blaring in the background, and Bishop Don Magic Juan toking through his nose, and Snoop over on the cellphone, calling for multiple Playstation 3s and coaching a wayward youth from his pee-wee football team. The scene had contact high written all over it…but the interview Snoop delivered was as sober as the bomb. America’s most beloved pimp held nothing back about his remarkable life, from pimpin’ (”Bitches would recruit for me. I had barracudas…seven or eight of ‘em”) to going to war with Suge Knight (”I was afraid I was gonna have to kill him”). Read the whole story in the new issue of Rolling Stone, on newsstands Friday, or read the excerpt and hear exclusive audio of Snoop right here tomorrow morning.

i think yall are a big joke i bet half of you dont even Read RS i think all of yall are rasist and as for the hole snoop being a role model for ghetto youth that is BS some people think that he is a good raper and want to become a great raper like him it doesnt mean they are going to do the same things as him it just means the respect him for what he has accomplished in life im sure there is some one in your life that you look up to but they do things your not proud of but no matter what you still look up to them so you need to go some where with that BS and if your racis just admit it cuz really no one cares cuz everyone already knows it but yea so take my advice and shut up and just quite judgeing people you dont know them personaly so stay out of there lives DAM

All yall haters out there, suck snoop’s mother f*cking dick, and he’s still smoking!

Keith Richard Radford Jr. | 11/8/2007, 9:02 pm EST

I am fortunate enough that now my [second wife] works or quite likely we wold be homeless now. Through her insurance i get Marinol which is necessary to my survival. I have a weird toxic build up from the medications I must take to stay alive. I have had these bouts as often as three times a month. It starts with a headache at my left temple which hurts all the time and to make a long story short I spend three days puking my guts out and after only a few hours of this there is nothing but a strange metallic tasting bial clear liquid coming out. I have been to many Doctors who tell me I am just fine. Anyway Three days laying with the toilet as a cool pillow while your head is pounding while on fire, and your whole body shakes like your a dog passing peach pits is a bad scene. So I thank God that my wife cares enough to help me with this pain.

What I really want to talk about is how people are so locked out from anything that can help them by government intervention. Through her insurance my Marinol is a $40. dollar Co~Pay. I live in California and I get my prescription filled at Walgreen’s. I look at the poor Vet in this country who finds a peaceful place after so much pain by the use of cannabinoids. This is elementary in the healing process. They have to pay for smoke through what ever dispensaries that has\ve not been closed by government intervention.

This is the rub. Here we have cops making a living chasing pot smokers dispensaries and there patrons who with the prescription to have medical marijuana (THC) are being squeezed if they are Vets or too poor to afford insurance on their own. How can this be?

Everyone old enough to remember the 60’s remember when republicans who have a tendency for knee JERK reactions, without any studies or reasonable discussion demonizing Pot. Their fight against reason and regulation of the demon weed felt booze is enough. Medicating on booze is completely out of the question in my case due to my condition, but everyone knows booze is not a viable way to do this, but that is what our Vet’s are forced into by means of governmental interventions.

Please do not get me wrong, I am not a bash~er of the Federal Gov. because Fed=every single one of us Americans. I will never be a bash~er of anyone but defending myself and others who are destroyed by laws that discriminate unjustly will always be high on my list, since my first wife asked me to have a circumcision and dumped me through governmental interventions.

glowworm | 12/7/2006, 9:56 am EST

By the way this is what’s wrong with our country. Thugs and criminals get fame and fortune and people who work and try to be productive are the ones who struggle. Sounds like a hell of a deal. I’ll never pick up a rolling stone mag again.

glowworm | 12/7/2006, 9:52 am EST

I think that that blacks are the one who perpetuate racism. They are always the ones who seem to complain about it but never do anything productive to stop it.

anybody | 11/30/2006, 10:14 am EST

black or white it dosent matter so stop talkin black or white like we all dont have 10 fingers and 1 d*ck

anybody | 11/30/2006, 10:10 am EST

why not and Kliffee f you, why dont you comment on the racist stuff thay are puttin out here, you are avoiding
the issue. Me m not a racist but you not havin a problm with it tells me you are.

Kliffee | 11/30/2006, 7:08 am EST

Snoop Dog nor Eminem belong on Rolling Stone. they have rap magazine for them.
This was a rock magaZIne once upon a time…
Lenny Kravitz, Living Colour, black artists with talent. not snoop and p diddy.
blah

why not | 11/30/2006, 5:54 am EST

NO ONE would have a problem if the put B.B king on the cover my friend

no matter fo skin but of TALENT -du bimbo

anybody | 11/30/2006, 4:15 am EST

1.i listin to rock and rap music, and frankly none of em is that good nowadays.
2.yeah!snoop smokes weed, all your mammas did it to(60´s)and rap artist
are know to do so, just as rock artist are known to do crack,coke,pills,heroin and drink.
3.all this racist comments is not cool, 1st of all rock is not a white musicform, 2nd this is not a rock mag(Britney,justim and xstina made shore of that).
alot of you are trying to hide the fact that you are racist behind the fact that theres a rapper on the cover, but still you had no problem with Britney and the other people thats been on the cover prior to this one, you are angy cuz theres a black man on the cover and you wont stand for it.
question:what happend to you retards, did your sister get pregnant by a black man? is your mom a notorious hometown slut that loves black d*ck? or did your girl leave you for a black dude? i mean what is it! are you gay(m.r. aka kramer is your boyfriend)

why not | 11/30/2006, 12:57 am EST

yeah once the rs has been a really good magazine….

snoop dog is a joke | 11/30/2006, 12:49 am EST

o my god soop dogg on the cover of the rs -now it’s over, this is REDICULOUS, i mean justin timberlake fergie and now snoop dogg…

GIV ME A NAKED THIN WHITE GIRL | 11/29/2006, 10:47 pm EST

ON THE COVER! SCREW SNOOP!

D.O. | 11/29/2006, 10:20 pm EST

Snoop Dogg is this Bomb just like the Chronic he smokes!! Blue Carpet Treatment is quality material

jason | 11/29/2006, 10:12 pm EST

i was pretty sure that rolling stone was a music magazine and snoop has been a important artist fo over 15 years now and will most likely be in the rock and roll hall of fame as for this magazine its been sucking for years so get over your ignorance and accept it.

Mike27 | 11/29/2006, 9:59 pm EST

talks over drum loops.
no comparison.

Thank you kliffee, youre entitled to your opinion, but if thats the way you feel - then your opinion does not matter. And I further rest my case by bringing up the fact that you mentioned Paul Stanleys solo album - are you kidding me??? Snoop may not be the best rapper, but his first album is considered one of the best albums of the 90s, where as Paul Stanley is just considered a joke!

RED.OG NO PEACE FAMILY | 11/29/2006, 7:53 pm EST

DO YOU NEED MUSIC FROM NO PEACE TOKE DE KEDA 4 LIFE

Kliffee | 11/29/2006, 7:53 pm EST

I’m giving birth to Snoop’s baby.

Fo-Shame | 11/29/2006, 7:51 pm EST

Lamest RS cover ever.

Kliffee | 11/29/2006, 7:47 pm EST

You’re turning me on, Hard2Kill.
Kiss me, you fool!

Maggie | 11/29/2006, 7:38 pm EST

Wow, who says racism doesn’t exist? As for RS being a “rock” magazine, that went out years ago when they put the likes of Britney Spears, X-tina, and the boy bands on the cover. Not to mention the actors and politicans who’ve graced the cover as well. Its a populist magazine and they’ll put on the cover who will sell the most issues.

Brittany | 11/29/2006, 7:22 pm EST

I like it. Who cares what he got arrested for… it isn’t much worse than some rockstars.

Good Stuff | 11/29/2006, 6:42 pm EST

Man I’m really glad that everyone is arguing about important stuff like whether or not Snoop Dogg is a proper choice for the X-Mas issue. I’m just noticing that the holidays tend to pull a lot of people that I’ve never met before out of the woodwork and I’ve also noticed that I don’t care for any of them. I also think that this sacred religious holiday also happens to be the most commercialized. Anyway, talk to ya later babycakes…P.S. how can anyone say music is dead? I mean we still have American Idol to help determine who our future “musicians” should be.

Jesus Freak | 11/29/2006, 6:06 pm EST

I think Scott Stapp should’ve been on the cover. I mean it is the Christ loving issue is it not?

kevin | 11/29/2006, 6:05 pm EST

exemplifying drugs and violence for the mainstream…ahh..gotta love our freedom.

Zachra | 11/29/2006, 5:56 pm EST

I could think of about 300 better, more topical choices for your cover.

a concerned youth | 11/29/2006, 5:52 pm EST

is it a wonder that the feelings of a society based on slave trade still appear. as im sure that “M.R.” has nothing better to do while wearing his confederate flag and eating apple pie, and driving his ford, and having his pictures of topenga from “boy meets world” on his wall, than slam on a proud race of people. smoke on, snoop, smoke on.

M.R. #1 | 11/29/2006, 5:48 pm EST

Is it any wonder that there’s a backlash against mainstream black culture? It’s marketed kitsch that does nothing for the intellect whatsoever. Michael Richards was right about YOU PEOPLE.

right on klifee | 11/29/2006, 5:25 pm EST

only real talent should be in rolling stone
basically meaning everything pre 1980 excluding just a few bands in the right direction, but most of them are either too underground or phish/dmb

It’s a bird, it’s a plane, it’s MONKEY SANTA. Guns and crack rocks all around. Yeah!

Kliffee | 11/29/2006, 4:21 pm EST

I don’t even like most of rock music of today. say i’m living in the past but come on, Panic At The Disco? Fall Out Boys?! Are you joking? My band whips all their asses!

Ne-Gro | 11/29/2006, 3:58 pm EST

If you are over the age of 16 and still consider rap music, you have half a brain. Why are there so few black musicians these days?

Sherry | 11/29/2006, 3:43 pm EST

Snoop actually repulses me; and I am not uptight in any way. How can this man (can anyone name ONE of his songs?) be held up to any kind of admiration? He really is a thug.

The Last White Nigger | 11/29/2006, 3:30 pm EST

Who are you guys kidding? A long time ago Rolling Stone decided they were going to be Entertainment Magazine with an attitude (or really Maxim with more reviews) and left other mags like Spin and Billboard to focus exclusively on music and then kinda left pure rock magazines to rot. This has been happening for the last 15-20 years and anyone just noticing it now is borderline retared. And if anybody doesn’t know who to credit for the name of this post you have no business complaining about Rolling Stone’s lack of relevance.

Drunk and Obese | 11/29/2006, 3:23 pm EST

Impersonated? I hope not, Kliffee. I’d say you are being mocked. An impersonation would have to be pretty accurate.

Kliffee | 11/29/2006, 3:18 pm EST

Blah blah blah.
I’m being impersonated.
i must be famous.
Will RS put me on their cover?

Kliffee | 11/29/2006, 3:17 pm EST

I fight with myself! Look at me, I’m schitzo! And I don’t know what homophobia is, because I accused someone of posting ‘homophobic stuff in [my] name’. That never happened! I’m delusional, too!

If i hate my own race, does that make me a racist?
now stop posting crap with my name, little girly man.

Kliffee | 11/29/2006, 3:14 pm EST

I consider myself better than rednecks, which makes me a racist. I’m a hypocrite!

Kliffee | 11/29/2006, 3:11 pm EST

Rolling Stone has become People Magazine

Kliffee | 11/29/2006, 3:10 pm EST

rolling stones=rock
not rap, not country, not nothing
stop calling it rolling stone if you are going to dilute it just to sell advertising
Country western music is a huge industry too. last thing we need to see is some redneck jackoff on the cover of rolling stone

heavyhitter | 11/29/2006, 3:08 pm EST

Nobody loves rap except their own kind and dumb college girls. And groupie RS staff.

Banjo | 11/29/2006, 2:38 pm EST

I find it hard to believe that no one noticed how, years ago, Rolling Stone began covering rap music too. I’m not a rap fan, i like some, but it’s a pretty huge part of our modern musical society. I want a music magazine that covers all the bases, so thanks RS. now just try to get your insane far-left politics a little more “middle” and you’d be perfect.

p.s. i’m sickened by the racist comments. ignorance and hatred are on the way out bitches!

Kliffee | 11/29/2006, 2:34 pm EST

Someone is posting racist & homophobic crap in our names.
Don’t believe it.

Kliffee | 11/29/2006, 2:29 pm EST

OI!!! A hacker!!!!!
I didn’t write that crap!
curse you, Edgar you slimey bug!

Edgar B. | 11/29/2006, 2:26 pm EST

Whomever’s taking my password and posting racist, hateful crap … you’re a jerk face.

Don’t read anything else that claims to be from Edgar B. It’s really that d!ck who hates stuff.

That’s a good point. Now that I think about it, you are right.

Kliffee | 11/29/2006, 2:14 pm EST

Rolling stone is supposed to be a rock music magazine. not a rap magazine, not a country western magazine and not a reality show magazine.
keep rappers out of rolling stone.(including Feminem)
they don’t put rockers(except the occasianal LEnny kravitz) in Vibe, Jet or The Source.

Drunk and Obese | 11/29/2006, 2:14 pm EST

snoop dogg doesn’t care about black people

Hurt Feelings= Losers | 11/29/2006, 2:11 pm EST

I find it so funny that people get mad when something like this happens. Snoop Dogg isnt at all a role model but really, who is now a days? Oh..those rockers dont do crack, write questionable lyrics, and sleep with prostitutes and do interviews while high…thats only a rap thing (/sarcasm)You guys are just mad that an African American RAPPER can make it to this kind of magazine and you would NEVER find a Marilyn Manson wierdo on a hip hop publication. But really, what can any of you do about it? You dont write for these magazines nor does your input on why certain people make the cover count…get over it..u mad?

Stan | 11/29/2006, 2:10 pm EST

Also why all the hate towards fat females? Not everyone can look like a hollywood starlet,you know.The fat females you hate are HUMAN BEING looks are not everything.

Please open your mind.

Stan | 11/29/2006, 2:08 pm EST

How sad.Racism is alive & well.

Kliffee | 11/29/2006, 2:08 pm EST

Gay publishers at RS like snoop?
ha! i doubt it.

Edgar B. | 11/29/2006, 2:07 pm EST

Newsflash:

Anyone who uses the phrase “I’m not a racist, but…” is, in fact, a racist.

Kliffee | 11/29/2006, 2:05 pm EST

Snoop is Poop. Runny, poop.

hah, he gets arrested and gets the cover of Rolling Stone in the same day. if I ever join a band, remind me to commit a crime…

Edgar B. | 11/29/2006, 1:50 pm EST

Yeah, I’m sure DEVO would be horrified by Snoop’s use of drum loops. They were purists who believed in 2 guitars and a bass, right? And I suppose no rockers ever got high or carried guns.

Your ignorance is hilarious and blinding.

Embrace the Snoop. He rocks.

Happy Holidays.

Kliffee | 11/29/2006, 1:42 pm EST

Boy George is a better man than Snoop.

Kliffee | 11/29/2006, 1:41 pm EST

Your mother should be ashamed of giving birth to you.
DEVO plays instruments, Snoop gets high and carrys illegal firearms and talks over drum loops.
no comparison.
Get a clue.

Edgar B. | 11/29/2006, 1:39 pm EST

Kliffee,

What’s a DEVO?

You have appalling taste in music. You should be ashamed.

Edgar B.

Kliffee | 11/29/2006, 1:33 pm EST

hey Mikey,
It’s not rock music.
it’s rap music. put it in rap magazines, not rock magazines.
You don’t see Pearl Jam or Foo fighters or marilyn manson in Vibe or The Source. there’s a reason.

Kliffee | 11/29/2006, 1:32 pm EST

Do you know who Jerry Casale of DEVO is? He has a new cd called Jihad Jerry and the Evildoers.
Do you know Paul Stanley of KISS has a new solo cd called Live To Win.
The Who has a new cd.
And you put Stoopid Dog on your cover?
who has infiltrated this once great magazine?!!

2PAC | 11/29/2006, 1:30 pm EST

I LIKE HIM

Edgar B. | 11/29/2006, 1:26 pm EST

Snoop has been and remains an important and vital musical artist. Where are the complaints when RS puts frickin’ American Idol or Lindsey Lohan on the cover? It’s racist to suggest Snoop shouldn’t be on the cover.

And the death of a great music mag? That happened when RS gave 3 stars to Paris Hilton’s “album.”

Mike27 | 11/29/2006, 1:22 pm EST

Hey kliffee

rap is a legitimate music genre thats been around for 30 years and isnt going anywhere…so deal with it!

Kliffee | 11/29/2006, 1:16 pm EST

Stop calling yourself Rolling Stone Magazine.
Call it Song of Vibe.
Everytime I see a non-rock cover, i gag.
Britney Spears, Justin Timberlake, Rappers, ect don’t belong on a classic magazine. You have defiled the history of this once great magazine.

John | 11/29/2006, 1:02 pm EST

Snoop deserves to be on the cover of rolling stone. he’s tight.

Paul | 11/29/2006, 12:48 pm EST

According to CNN.com he just got out of jail this morning after being arrested on charges of possession of marijuana, cocaine and firearms. Yeah, put ‘em on more magazine covers why dontcha?

heavyhitter | 11/29/2006, 12:33 pm EST

That’s the death of a great rock & roll magazine.

bob | 11/29/2006, 12:30 pm EST

they said “ghetto youth”. good stuff! good stuff!

Lucious T. Fram | 11/29/2006, 12:26 pm EST

Sweet, looks interesting. I look forward to reading it when I get it in the main in about two weeks.

Ono | 11/29/2006, 12:22 pm EST

Snoop is a great role model for ghetto youth! Carrying weapons on planes, directing porno’s, pimping, smoking massive quantities of weed, those principals are the foundation of success! Here’s to selling-out!

charliemapleton | 11/29/2006, 12:13 pm EST

Unexpected but unbelievable-the most exiting cover of this year and in 40 more years to come.

Ne-Gro | 11/29/2006, 12:12 pm EST

Snoop is a great role model for ghetto youth.
