Blessed Are the Uncool

Snoop Dogg is a Homeboy

One more thought on Snoop Dogg. I realized one thing I really like about his album, despite the gangster junk: It's very much rooted in place-Los Angeles.

Music should be local, especially hip hop, which is the genre of "I have a story to tell". Snoop Dogg's song's are all about a real place. And that adds a sense of freshness and humaneness to all the bluster.
