...The Doggfather’s latest venture, it was announced for the first time, will be an HBO show he is developing with Menace II Society director Allen Hughes and Boondocks writer Rodney Barnes about life on the West Coast during the ‘80s, when gang violence first began to dominate the region’s inner cities, particularly in Snoop’s home of East L.A.
“Early in the ‘70s and toward the latter part of the ‘70s everything was beautiful because we had ways to have fun and communicate, and those who were underprivileged, the low economic side of life, the government would provide for us, which helped us get by,” Snoop said. “It was a society and we all needed it and we all had it and we all helped each other. Then when Reaganomics kicked in, certain things were taken away, after-school programs and things of that nature. Guns and drugs were shipped into the neighborhood. So it was a shift of having fun and playing football to selling drugs and shooting at each other. To me it was a system that was designed, because when the Reaganomics era began, that’s when this began.”
Snoop, or as he was called in the ‘80s, “Snoop Rock Ski,” was able to emerge, but countless others were not, and the show figures to explore the stories of those who weren’t so fortunate to go on to sell 30 million albums worldwide. Neither Snoop nor Chung, who will executive produce, elaborated on the project, but Deadline reports that the drama will revolve around a single family whose life was turned upside down after Reagan took office...

Snoop has done a lot to promote dope smoking. If it thinks it was all a Reaganite conspiracy to keep down the black man, why does he promote the lifesyle to the black community?
As always, no blame goes to Lyndon B. Johnson....
Who did more to destroy the black family unit than ANYONE in the last 100 years.
Apparently there were no drugs or guns in the black community until 1982.
Guns, drugs, and violence is what these gang-bangers have made their money from. They wouldn’t have it any other way.
Reagan was gangsta?
There is a reason why they call marijuana DOPE .

Geez Louise - a fool and his bong are soon farted.
Reagan was such a powerful Jedi he made blacks take drugs and kill each other...hmm.
My 60 and 70 hour weeks didn’t leave much time for fun and football.
I’m glad Snoop finally listened to Nancy Reagan and just said no to drugs. lol

The parasite feels entitled to nourish itself on its uncooperative host.
It is a true measure of President Reagans greatness that even after all this time, mutts like this try to elevate themselves by slagging him
Wonder if anyone in the community will call him out on this nonsense.
Don’t forget invisible fathers, another essential element of the black-community-breakdown that everyone has to pay for, and around since the 60s.
Also, Reagan didn’t introduce the practise of referring to your women as “bitches and hos”, that was entirely self-created by da black community.
Yes, before Reagan was elected, there was absolutely no violence at all in black communities. I wonder how Stupe Dogg could say that with a straight face?
Gee, he forgot that Reagan made the CIA push crack into black communities...to control them...
The snoop dog is slipping on his blame whitey meme..
I thought is was because of MTV.
