Snoop Dogg Banned From Australia
- Posted on Apr 26th 2007 11:00AM by Melissa Olund
Rapper Snoop Dogg won't be putting another shrimp on the barbie anytime soon, as the Australian government has canceled his visa and banned him from entering their country. Immigration Minister Kevin Andrews told an Aussie radio station, "He doesn't seem the sort of bloke we want in this country," citing Mr. Dogg's past associations with Los Angeles-based gang the Crips and legal troubles involving drugs and guns.
Considering Australia's past as a penal colony, one would think they could handle a bad boy like Snoop, but until the rapper cleans up his act, it's fo' shizzle he won't be welcome in the land Down Under. Read the full story.

Go away snoop
We don't want him here the f**. He's lyrics are disgusting. He has a history with drugs, weaponry and gang violence. He's adds on MTV are just gross. I'm surprised MTV is supporting him. Do you want people like him or copying him? More people claiming to be 'gangsta'. Roaming the streets at night to bash up someone? No. So keep him out. We don't want him here.

Wow. Snoop must really be rappin about some powerful stuff. He was just banned from going to England. Thats just racism rearing its head.
Snoop's convictions have never been a problem before recently, and what do people expect him to do? Should he disregard all his peoples and not go home? Why should he not stay close to those he knows best? He obviously doesn't bang anymore. Pure Racism.

The Aussies clearly have set a moral precedence well worth following!!
Earth 2 the USA, there are only leaders and followers in this world, Rappers with uncreative SAMPLING & RHYMING clearly put them in the group of followers and piss poor at even that!
TRUTH HURTS, GET A BANDAID and THEN GET OVER IT!
PACK THAT IN YOUR PIPE AND PUFF ON IT!!!
