I wonder what school did he attend
What side of Eight Mile is the west side?Quote:
I'm talking about June [[expletive) 1986 on the west side of Eight Mile Road, living with my pops while he was working at the [[expletive) post office right around the corner. I was working in McDonald's, getting up in the morning doing that breakfast shift.
It's not clear to me. He says:Quote:

And just so everybody is clear on this...Quote:
He stole that line from me.Quote:
So I'm well rooted and tooted and suited and booted.
So did he change his name to Snoop Lion because of the Detroit Lions?

hi folks,
just do a little research based on what most of us know. snoop dog was born in east l.a.
stop the questions and projections about about some detroit cread.
if anything, it is a marketing issue to try and give him a cread.
it's just the opposite, that if you ask Diana Ross where she grew up, she wont say that she grew up in the gratiot projects across from eastern market. she wont even say she is from detroit. she married a swedish millionaire and stopped performing. she has been denying her pas for 30 years.
Well, I have a relative that knew Snoop's Dad here in Detroit. So yes, I had known for years that he had connections here.Quote:

Snoop Doggy Dad
Vernall Varnado rides shotgun on his son's celebrity
AAAComments [[0) By DAVE WIELENGA Thursday, Jan 14 1999
"When I tell people I'm Snoop Doggy Dogg's daddy, the first thing they say is I look too young to be Snoop Doggy Dogg's daddy," says Vernall Varnado, grinning as he puts down his cigarette and his bottle of beer and reaches into his back pocket. "I tell 'em, 'Go ahead and look here in my wallet, and see for yourself how old I am.'"
Varnado has pulled out his driver's license. He's waiting for you to inspect it, watching while your eyes find the place where it reads "DOB: 12-13-49," enjoying it as you realize that his next birthday will be his 50th. When you look up, Varnado breaks into a loud, choppy laugh.
"That's right," he cackles. "I don't look it."
There's hardly a fleck of gray in Varnado's hair, he doesn't need glasses, his smile is straight and white, and his muscled physique exudes a relatively healthy aura, even as he brightens the end of another cigarette and takes a few gulps from a new beer. "Hell, I walked a mail route for 25 years-the last 10 in Detroit," he asserts loudly. "That tells you a lot about me."

P.S.: Everything is not a conspiracy:rolleyes:
I'm sure A LOT of people who are from Detroit deny their roots here, for one reason or another.Quote:
