I’m for the evolution of people coming together and being one as opposed to being separate. “I’m taking it back to the era of being for ourselves and for everyone else. “They looked after kids, provided after school activities, fed them and stepped in as role models and father figures.”Īs Snoop himself reminds us, his discography features a mix of “conscious” and “party” records Make America Crip Again is his way of continuing and reinforcing that approach. “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,” Snoop says. “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.” Instead of the guns-and-drugs gangbanging we usually think of when the word “crip” comes to mind, Snoop Dogg wants us to focus on “young black men in impoverished areas” who organize for positive, progressive socio-political change and community building. “It’s not a statement or a political act: it’s just good music,” Snoop explains. To promote his latest major release, Snoop Dogg has liberated the project’s title track and composed a brief press statement to explain his new sounds.
