As I write this story im reminded of Afroman’s song ‘Because I got High’ especially the line ‘I was gonna go to work but then I got high,I just got a new promotion but I got high
now I’m selling dope and I know why (why man?) – cause I got high’
I bet that’s the song ‘Snoop Dogg or is it snoop Lion, was singing when he smoked his hotel room till the fire brigade guys were called.
Snoop Dogg decided not only to smoke himself silly but also his hotel room In Melbourne Australia till the smoke detectors went off. It was a wasted trip for a group of firefighters who had responded to the alarm, they ruled out possibilities of fire and all was good. Well it wasn’t such a wasted trip though as they got a Kodak moment with Snoop.
It’s not the first time that the 42-year-old rapper, real name Calvin Cordozar Broadus has gotten in trouble coz of his smoke. In 2006 he was arrested at the airport in California for marijuana possession. He had previously been denied entry into Australia in 2007 due to numerous criminal convictions.
His latest album, the reggae-fueled “Reincarnation,” is up for best reggae album at the 56th annual Grammy Awards. Snoop has been nominated for 13 Grammy Awards throughout his career, but has never won.
On a lighter note I think the proverb where there’s smoke there’s fire should probably be changed to where there’s smoke there’s snoop.
