Snoop doesn't like Oprah
Posted by Media Outrage on March 8th, 2008
Snoop Dogg has a problem with Oprah. He no longer likes Oprah because of the way that they used him as a major subject on her show last year, in which she called to light some of the misogynistic lyrics that hip-hop songs propagate. The problem he has with her is that he wasn’t invited on the show to defend himself against the allegations. He said he was a fan of Oprah’s and liked her, but not anymore.
Via Nymag:
“I don’t like her no more. I really was offended, because I kind of like her. Liked her. I’m very articulate, very intellectual. She didn’t even get a chance to even know me.” She might have learned that the rap star is cleaning up his act: His new album, he told reporters, “is for the women.” He said he wanted to “give the ladies something, because I’ve been so mean and so rude.” But Snoop doesn’t really mind being criticized. “My mama always told me, ‘Any time they’re saying something bad about you, you’re doing the right thing, baby,’ ” he said. “If they talked about Jesus, it’s all right for them to talk about Snoop Dogg.”
Mediaoutrage- We definitely feel that Oprah should have had more rappers on to defend themselves and really have an even forum. Then again we feel Oprah has really completely snubbed hip-hop and the good that it has produced, such as successful entrepreneurs and business men like Jay-Z, Master-P, Damon Dash, Jermaine Durpri, and Diddy (he was only on her show because he ran the marathon). These young men have created thousands of jobs with clothing lines, record labels, restaurants, clubs, and stores. Hip-Hop is an integral force in just about every industry so it’s ashame that it is completely ignored by Oprah even if she does disagree with some of their lyrics about women. At the end of the day if Jay-Z, Snoop, and other rappers have referred to women as b*tches and hoes, we’re sure that you have women out here that don’t respect themselves at all and ones that do. But when Oprah has given a platform to members of the KKK, and convicted child molesters, then it’s a terrible insult to some of the aforementioned names to shut them out.

Snoop needs to worry about his kids in my opinion and NOT a filthy rich woman
