I've got some serious beef with Snoop Dogg.
As a rule, I hate current rap videos. I'm sick of seeing some stupid looking guy with seriously ugly chains around his neck and troops of skimpy clad women shaking their butts and boobs at the camera. I definitely don't want to know that you have a billion Rolexes, and a billion Royces and a forests worth of fur. And whomever came up with the pimp cup needs to be taken out back and beat down.
Then Snoop Dogg comes out with his latest video.
Skimpy women? Check.
Stupid, tacky looking jewelry? Check.
Obnoxiously ostentatious displays of wealth? Check.
But it's all done with a black and white finish, sharp arresting images (especially check the image of a hooded Snoop with cigarette smoke wafting up), and a seriously minimalist feel. Which means I like it. In spite of myself, and my dislike of against objectification of women and throwaway wealth.
So I have a serious beef with Snoop Dogg. And some serious props for the man.
