SNOOP DOGG: Something Scary

Posted Apr 18th 2007 4:59PM by Karu F. Daniels
Filed under: Entertainment Newswire

By Karu F. Daniels, AOL Black Voices

Snoop Dogg in 'Hood of Horror.'He may not have been there to defend himself when former 'Essence' magazine editrix Diane Weathers held him out to dry on Monday's episode of 'The Oprah Winfrey Show,' but Snoop Dogg is laughing all the way to the bank.

The West Coast hip-hop icon -- legally known as Cordozar Calvin Broadus -- is the ringleader of the new movie 'Snoop Dogg's Hood of Horror' -- described as "a ghetto gothic anthology" featuring three stories served up in the fashion of 'Tales from the Crypt.'"

According to its synopsis, Dogg, plays the "hound of hell," a [tour] guide through three terrifying tales from this nefarious neighborhood and its depraved denizens, including a tagger who finds out that not all gangstas die hard; a spoiled heir to a Texas oil dynasty who murders for money but can't pay to stay alive; and a major rap star that discovers he's got a few skeletons in his dressing room ... and they're kicking down the door. This bone chilling, gut bursting (literally) anthology proves once and for all: "It AIN'T all good in da Hood!"

Oh okay.

According to publicist Edna Simms Porter Bruce, the film arrives in theaters May 4, and features "a fiendishly frightening blend of live action horror and gore-filled, supernatural anime sequences created by Japan's Madhouse under the supervision of Academy Award winner John Gaeta.

Directed by Academy Award nominee Stacy Title, 'Hood' also stars Billy Dee Williams, Ernie Hudson, Aries Spears, Method Man, Daniella Alonso, Pooch Hall, Brande Roderick, Jason Alexander, , and NBA stars Lamar Odom and Tayshaun Prince.

Rated R by the MPAA for pervasive strong violence, gore, sexuality, nudity and language, 'Hood of Horror' is produced by Social Capital Films, BloodWorks, and Snoopadelic Films, and will be distributed by Xenon Pictures, Inc.

16. you all just jealous of snoop dogg.he got all that money, and you haters dont. whatever he makes is cool with me.

17. If Snoop is only refering to "hoes in the hood" not doing anything with their lives, then why isn't he trying to help uplift them instead of having them walk with leashes around their necks at award shows, and perpetuating the stereotype by having those women dancing half naked in his videos. Stop making excuses for his degrading behavior and sop thinking it's only about the money. How would you feel if it were your daughters in those videos and being called bitches and hoes. He probably calls any female a hoe or a bitch if she doesn't fall in line with him, educated or not. Most respectful women have probably been called those names by him and many other males who view them as not easy or too opinionated.

Sharlee at 5:31PM on Apr 22nd 2007

18. WHY ARE THERE SO MANY PEOPLE WHO DON'T LIKE TO SEE A BROTHER MAKE DAT MONEY!! SNOOP AIN'T NO DIFFERENT AND HE GOT EVERY RIGHT TO MAKE WHATEVER KIND OF MOVIE HE WANTS. PEOPLE IS CRAZY AND THEY ALWAYS HATING ON THE NEXT MAN TRYING TO GET HIS PAPER ON. LET DA BROTHER MAKE HIS PAPER AND GO AND SUPPORT HIM JUST THE SAME AS THEY ALL SUPPORT THOSE STUPID A** MOVIES THAT CAME OUT THIS YEAR. WHAT HARM IS IT GOING TO DO!!! PAY DA MAN!

19. Sharlee,

It's all good sister but no one makes these girls dance half naked in a video or put the word out because if you pay close attention it all starts in the area in which you live. Because where I am from you got females calling each other more bitches and hoes then any male will. So, if you got to blame and point fingers start at the source and rap music is not the reason. But you have to understand this is something that ain't just starting to be a phase. Luke Campbell started this ho's and bitches and what about NWA yeah!! They was the first rap group to refer to woman in that name and when nothing was done about it then, but to put a "elicit lyrics" on a tape to stop underage kids from purchasing without parents. I can't blame SNOOP or any other rapper for putting it out there but freedom of speech is what it is. Now in this new day and age everybody is so got damn touchy--toucy about everything being said. You don't like what they say then stop supporting their income.PAY ATTENTION PEOPLE! Remember QUEEN LATIFAH because she never tolerated but these woman now days find it to be more of a compliment.NOW WHO HAS THE PROBLEM THE MEN OR THE W0MEN.

20. I think Snoop is doing his thang. Its doesnt matter to me if he smoking pot or dissing on women r calling Black Man Nigga's if it sell go for it. Beside White people sell sex all the time. No one complaining there. I just wish I had the chance to promote myself in the arening world of Hollywood. Snoop Man keep your head up and keep doing your thang. Charles Barkley once said I am not YOUR children role model the parents show be there children role model and I agree 100% on that statement so in all do youyr thang Snoop make that money

Richard Conley at 9:19PM on Apr 22nd 2007

21. I agree with Boomer, just because someone is Black does not give them a right to talk about Black women or make other insulting remarks in anyway. I never have and never will buy any of the thing he makes. He and many of the rappers are pathetic. And if women who want money are ho's, what are men who want the women's money?

I also want to add that the song Golddigger by Kanye does not make sense, because if he is trying to call black women golddiggers, why in the chorus is Jamie Foxx saying She gives me money? So, who is the golddigger?

Sandra at 11:26PM on Apr 22nd 2007

22. get paper snoops....get in where you fit in "THE BANKS VAULT"!!!!!!

geno tate at 2:11AM on Apr 23rd 2007

23. I don't see what all the beef is about, People should be supporing him. He does a lot of good things and he's never abandoned the person he truly is and that's why we love Snoop so much. I support him in everything he does.And to the people who have a problem with him, talking about how he reinforces negative black stereotypes, you should take a look in the mirror because how great are you for trying to pull another black man down.
And that's all I have to say about that

ms_cutiepants at 2:30PM on Apr 23rd 2007

24. How can fell sorry for the girls (and i did say girls not women) in his videos. I'm pretty sure they've heard his music and know what it's sbout before they got there. And they dress how they want to, Who doesn't want to be the sexiest girl in a video. You're not going to show up in a turtle neck and sweat pants. They dress the way they do for attention that's how they get their nexy job, being seen in someones video, it's not like they're singing or rapping they are just backround or dancers, so they have to do what they have to do.
They know that going into it so don't make it seem like they are these innocent little girls that don;t know any better.

26. let's see, the man is involved somehow with a murder and get's off, makes a pornography movie in the same home where his wife and kids live, celebrates and takes pictures with a effete pimp, refers to women in demeaning manner, parades black women onleashes, cause controversy at international airports, snoop dog is loser scum

black men don't respect themselves or their women' is it any wonder that bill bennett can call for the killing of black babies, or that imus can disrespect black women so easily?
where is the voice of sanity? decency?

27. white people said blacks were lazy ignorant and sexual predators and this was the reason for slavery, cuz blacks folks needed guidance, so maybe white people need toenslave blacks folks again cuz white peole are only reporting what they see

Pimping !!

28. #17 you are REAL stupid. Snoop Dogg and all our rappers became heroes in the black american community when they put down the drug selling and gang banging and grabbed onto the rap opportunity.

Some of you fools would rather see him back on the streets selling drugs and killing your children with them, rather than see him making money in business, taking care of a nice wife who adores him and taking care of his beautiful family. Conan Obrien said ho and bitch on tv just last night but you're not calling for him to be fired.

29. CAN'T WAIT TO SEE IT. LOVE ME SOME SNOOP DOGG.

YVONNE at 12:27AM on Apr 30th 2007

30. WHY WOULD A WOMAN SPEND ALL HER TIME BEING WORRIED ABOUT THE WORD HO UNLESS SHE THINKS THE RAPPERS ARE TALKING TO HER LOL LOL

WHY SHOULD BLACK WOMEN BE OFFENDED BY THE WORD BITCH WHEN THEY CALL BLACK MEN DOGS ALL THE TIME. A BITCH IS ONLY A FEMALE DOG.
