AceShowbiz - Did Snoop Dogg go too far with his latest Donald Trump diss? The rapper faced backlash for posting on Instagram a picture of his standing over a corpse covered with an American flag. It had a "Trump" tag hanging off the toe. The photo has since been deleted.
The image seemed to be a cover art for Snoop's new extended play called "Make America Crip Again". The photo was similar to the iconic album cover of Ice Cube's 1991 "Death Certificate". It saw the N.W.A star standing over an "Uncle Sam" corpse.
Snoop Dogg released a "Make America Crip Again" title track in October and he slammed the POTUS in the song. "It's not a statement or a political act: it's just good music. Certain people feel like we should make America 'great again,' but that time they're referring to always takes me back to separation and segregation so I'd rather Make America Crip Again," he told Rolling Stone.
"In my lifetime, that's when young black men in impoverished areas organized to help their communities and to take care of their own because society basically left them for dead. A lot of people glorify the gang-banging and violence but forget that in the beginning, the Crip's main and sole purpose was to be the reflection of the Black Panthers. They looked after kids, provided after-school activities, fed them and stepped in as role models and father figures."
"When you listen to my records, there's always been a mix of conscious records and party records and this EP continues that trend," he added. "I'm taking it back to the era of being for ourselves and for everyone else. I'm for the evolution of people coming together and being one as opposed to being separate. Music is the best way to heal."
Snoop Dogg also dissed the President in his latest full-length album "Neva Left". In a music video for his single "Lavender", he shot a clown dressed as Trump. "Can you imagine what the outcry would be if @SnoopDogg, failing career and all, had aimed and fired the gun at President Obama? Jail time!" the POTUS reacted on Twitter.
