: MediaTakeOut.com has learned that rapper Snoop Dogg may be a member of the Nation Of Islam. Over the weekend, Snoop attended Founder’s Day to hear the group’s leader Louis Farrakhan speak.
Snoop was among a number of celebrities who attended the annual Nation Of Islam event. But when an AP reporter asked Snoop whether he supported the Nation Of Islam, MediaTakeOut.com discovered that Snoop said the following:
I’m already in the Nation, that’s why I’m here … I’m an advocate for peace. I’ve been in the peace movement ever since I’ve been making music. My whole thing is not about trying to push my thing on you. It’s just about the way I live, and I live how I’m supposed to live as far as doing what’s right and representing what’s right. That’s why I was here todayWOW … who knew…..
This is ridiculous MTO get it right. My step-father is actually with the Nation and went to Founders Day this past weekend. Snoop was invited to speak to the kids about the importance of staying in school. He stressed education and told the kids that the rap game is just entertainment not real life.
Furthermore T.I, Judge Mathis, and Dr. Howard were all guest there supporting BLACK CONSCIOUSNESS and UNITY. All types of black people regardless of religion attend Founders Day it's only SPONSERED by the Nation. Get it right MTO!!!
ROFLMBAO @ the photo! It's obviously a photoshopped pic LOL. I just now noticed that. MTO has cut and pasted his face on somebody else's head. This is about as hilarious as the time MTO pasted Lil KIm's face picture on LeftEye's body when it was rumored she was going to be the third member of TLC. MTO is silly for that one!
Oh, please, stop lying. He said "I’m an advocate for peace. I’ve been in the peace movement ever since I’ve been making music. Snoop and Dre are one of the main founder's of negative gangsta rap, that has glorified the thug culture. People think gangsta music doesn't have an effect, well it does. I have seen many GOOD young men in the 90's turned out by that thinking that is COOL. Boys who I grew up with, it makes me so UPSET. Let me quote Snoop off of one of his albums.
Look here fool I know this game in and out and quit tryin to tell me bout dem *** down south don't try slide wit that west side love *** that dove *** eat a *** *** I can can read you from the giddy I read you I took you to my home and I fed you and led you upstairs upstairs to a room with 37 *** that was strapped up hatin' waitin' on you *** you the victim we don't don't pick 'em we just stick 'em and when once we get 'em we got 'em we try to rid the streets of creeps and freaks like you for all y'all snitches and *** we gonna do the world a big favor cuz *** like y'all be ***' up the gangsta flavor and oh yeah it aint no west coast thang cuz *** out of town got birds that sing and my heat goes boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom and my heat goes boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom and my heat goes boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom and my heat goes boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom breakdown [echo] breakdown [echo] Top Dogg
MTO YALL ARE DUMB. WHAT SNOOP IS SAYING IS THAT YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE IN THE MOSQUE TO BE IN THE NATION. EVERYONE IS IN THE NATION IF YOU BELIEVE IN PEACE, UNITY, AND UPLIFTMENT. I WAS F.O.I SINCE I WAS 19 YEARS OF AGE. I HAVEN'T BEEN TO THE EVENTS SINCE PROBABLY 2000 OR 1999, BUT THE WAY I LIVE MY LIFE I WILL ALWAYS BE IN THE NATION. LIKE FARRAKHAN SAID, BEING IN THE RANKS SAYING "THAT'S RIGHT" DON'T DO NOTHING. YOU NEED TO TAKE WHAT YOU LEARNED AND DISCOVERED AND GO OUT AND MAKE IT HAPPEN. SO STOP JUMPING TO CONCLUSIONS OF ***. SNOOP ALWAYS CAME TO THE SAVIOUR'S DAY. NOW U WANT TO KNOW WHO'S IN THE NATION, THEN SAY KAM, MC REN, LIGHT SKIN DUDE FROM THE LYNCH MOB, I CAN GO ON AND ON.
Fact check: He might have been processed by the Nation, and judging by some of yall comments on here some of yall need processing too. It's a difference than actually being registered by the Nation.
It's called Saviours day not Founders day and it was here in chicago this weekend, rosemont,il
For anyone who thinks that Farrakhan had something to do with Malcolm X's killing is just ignorant, white amerikkka knew that if they killed Brother X, that it would cause a split with the Nation, divide and conquer
A LOT OF YOU TYPE THINGS REAL DUMB. YOU ACT JUST LIKE WHITES WANTED PPL TO ACT WHEN IT CAME TO RELIGION AND EVERYTHING ELSE. SOME OF U TYPING *** THAT YOU HAVE NO FACTS TO BACK YOUR WORDS WITH. WHEN IT COMES TO THE NATION OF ISLAM, MALCOM X ETC. PPL THROWING THE BIBLE OUT THERE LIKE AN UNREAD FOOL. AS IF KING JAMES A PERSON WHO HAD *** WITH HIS MOM AND WAS ALSO A *** IS THE PERFECT ONE WITH HIS "VERSION" OF WHAT WENT ON IN THE BIBLE AS THE SOLID TRUTH. ALL RELIGIONS ARE THE SAME AND HAVE THE SAME PURPOSE. THAT'S TEACHING IT'S ONLY ONE GOD AND THAT YOU SHOULD TREAT OTHERS LIKE YOU WANT TO BE TREATED. BUT INSTEAD, WE'VE BEEN TAUGHT TO DIVIDE EACH OTHER AND FIGHT OVER VERSIONS, TRANSLATIONS, AND LANGO. YOU SAY GOD, I SAY ALLAH, THEY SAY HOVA, BUDDA, ETC. PPL NEED TO WAKE UP, YOU'RE TO OLD TO BE FALLING FOR THE SAME TRICKS IN 2009. IT'S NOT SLAVERY NO ONE CAN TAKE A BOOK FROM YOU.

They worship the words of the original flamers and barbarians. Although I feel that anyone can be redeemed, and you coming with that knowledge, but as each day passes I feel that some of them have reached the point mentally of NO return.
@ allahuakbar -------------------
DITTO, SOME PPL ARE FAR GONE. THE SAD THING IS THEY ARE STILL YOUNG. YOU EXPECT THAT FROM A 60 YEAR OLD BUT NOT SOMEONE THAT'S 17, 18 OR EVEN 35 YEARS OF AGE. THEY LET THE MOVIE PANTHERS TEACH THEM THE HISTORY OF MALCOM AND SPIKE LEE'S MOVIE. AFRAID TO GO TO THE LIBRARY AND LOOK IN THE ARCHIVES AT THE OLD NEWS PAPERS AND READ HOW AMERICA FELT ABOUT THEN AND HOW THEY FEEL ABOUT YOU NOW. THE ONLY DIFFERENCE THEY GIVING SOME OF US A LITTLE MORE RESPECT NOW CUZ OF POWER WE HAVE COME INTO. I.E. PRESIDENT OBAMA.
@trooper ----- What they don't also realize is that the only and I mean the Only reason why we have integration is because the Nation was fighting against it because of the decline of our communities and family structure. So what do they do they find someone to put out there to act as the antithesis of Elijah. MLK was brought on to make us passive and take beat downs to still be second class citizens. The Manhattan project didn't even have legs until they use to read Elijah Muhammad's books in the 30's. They don't know that he got presidental treatment when brought to this very US captiol, under heavy guard just so they could pick his brain. Farrakhan says " America, all of your fake puppet leaders here and abroad might run from you, but I'll run towards you". (that's beautiful)
@ SOME bloggers - It's obvious the pic is photoshopped. MTO didn't mean to do a great job, sheez, lol.
Although positive, MTO still has it wrong. I guess they don't realize that MANY people outside this religion have TREMENDOUS respect for Farrakhan and his words - this transcends race, gender, sexuality, etc!
PIC IS PHOTO SHOPPED DEFINITELY
And what so funny about this if he did
you see how people act and you think about the *** sh..t goin on in the black community and immediately its a joke when someone do something right
but i dont believe this mainly because he was not more out with it... if he begins *** them out and doing more positive stuff i might believe it
but for now Its just a positive plug like he give a *** out and tell kids stay in school... yeah he means it but its a part of being a good artist and trying to give back to the community doesnt mean he's gonna take on the role 24-7 not saying he has to just letting people know what i think of his stance on this
Interesting...black people wake the hell up! It's okay to be pro-black, but don't be stupid! Religion is a big LIE!!! To understand Christianity and Islam one must know the history of the two. Both have a history of being violent and forcing their religion upon people. Here's a tip: increase your library and close the bible. Open a book that's factual....
ITS SAVIOURS' DAY, NOT Founder's Day, and all Black people are accepted as "members" of the Nation. Whether you want to accept your Nation or Not is up to you (accept your own and be yourself). The Minister has always said some of his best soldiers are in the streets. Meaning the ranks of The NOI are not limited to who you see in a bow-tie pushing the Final Call. But Snoop is not a registered member like Cam or Mos Def. Also many entertainers and influential black folk have been around, benefiting from, and supporting The Nation for years. Even Bruce Willis supported The Nation and it almost ruined his career.
@teemzdotcom People have had their tongue cut out for saying less. You might wanna be careful before some fanatic catches you talking like that (not a threat from me in anyway).do some research first on Prophet Muhammad's marriages and his relationship with ALL the wives and their fathers. And what an islamic marriage was at that time and its purpose during a time of war. It wasn't about ***. try taking off your eurocentric thinking cap for a sec.
Didn't Obama call Americans "ordinary" people while referring to muslims throughout the world as "extraordinary"??????
What is so extraordinary about muslims home or abroad? How many nobel peace prizes have they won? How many vaccinations have we received from them? What cars, accessories, products are they known for other advancements? Maybe that's why they are so jealous of the Jews.....?
Why is it that where ever there are muslims, they are fighting with their neighbors(Chechnia, Pakistan, Philipines just to name a few)?
That is one stone age culture if I've ever seen one. Still stoning people to death in 2009.
@teemzdotcom lol...man Iraq was the epicenter of learning for the entire world many centuries. The Muslim Moors of Spain brought all of Europe out of the dark ages into the renessaince age by spreading Islam and culture. The Western world was literally dying. Some of the best medicine is still in Africa, Asia. But Europeans, including Europian Jews, are thieves, and copycats and have been since they came on the scene. I wouldn't be surprised if it came out 10 yrs from now someone like Einstein stole all of his research from a physicist in India. Europeans swear up and down they created everything from the wheel to rock ***' roll. And anyone with a 60 IQ knows that isn't true. There are some backwards peope in every culture. Do we need to point out the barbaric and senseless stuff we do here in america, or in other Judeo/Christian societies?
LYoung
I understand historical context. However, I personally do not believe that sleeping with a 6 year old is right no matter what century you are from. That's just me.
Oh, and how refreshing.... a muslim referencing threats of violence.
I could really care less about your hollow threats. After my military service I was a contractor in Iraq for 3 years off and on. If you think insinuating violence will strike fear in me, you are mistaken. In fact, I should give my contacts a call and have your background checked out while I'm at it. Understand?
I'm owed a favor anyways.
LYoung
So you can't name ONE advancement that we have gotten from Islam? Not ONE?
No milaria vaccination? No polio vaccination? No automobile? Nothing?
All you say is blanket statements and go as far as to accuse Albert Einstein of plagerism from an unknow source in India? You got me there.... lol
Why don't you go get me some progressive advancements that we enjoy TODAY? You're talking 500 years ago!!!! Who cares about 500 years ago?
What have muslims done in the last 500 years? You have NO EXAMLES?????
Pathetic.
@teemzdotcom
Firstly, I didn't threaten you. I was simply giving you a heads up if you had never been around an orthodox islamic person who may be a fanatic. go back and proofread. I don't do internet beefs, and I am not what you would consider a muslim. But I bet you didn't say Muhammad was a pedophile to a sunni or shiya Iraqi while you were there.
Secondly, I put my picture and website and all that on here...someone who is trying to hide or has something to hide wouldn't do that.
Thirdly, she wasn't 6 she was 12. Some accounts say 11, others 13. And there is no proof that marriage was consummated, but evidence to support they didn't.
Lastly, Jonah had *** with his two biological daughters, does that make it wrong to be a Jew or Christian?
Heard of Sigmund Freud?
Dr. Jonas Salk created the first Polio Vaccine. Dr. Abraham Waksman coined the term antibiotics. Casmir Funk, a Polish Jew, pioneered a new field of medical research and coined the word "vitamins." Dr. Simon Baruch performed the first successful operation for appendicitis Dr. Paul "magic ***" Ehrlich won the Nobel Prize in 1908 for curing syphilis. Dr. Abraham Jacobi is considered America's father of pediatrics. Dr. Albert Sabin developed the first oral polio vaccine.
And this is JUST from the Jewish people, who only comprise 1% of the world's population. Only 13 million jews.
What SPECIFIC advancements can we attribute from the 1.5 BILLION Muslims?
Sorry my friend, this chess match was over before it began.
I don't have any medical or technology advancements from the "Muslim" world I can spit out from memory. I always like to research before I type something wrong on here. But let me say this. I have major problems with the "Muslim" world and am only defending them because they have somehow gotten lumped into the same category with us as Blacks and Muslims in america. But I don't identify with them culturally and am very critical of them myself.

"But I bet you didn't say Muhammad was a pedophile to a sunni or shiya Iraqi while you were there."
You're right, I did not. But I am home now in the United States, where I have the freedom of expression and speech. You truly cannot understand the beauty of our rights unless you have them stripped from you.
"Thirdly, she wasn't 6 she was 12. Some accounts say 11, others 13. And there is no proof that marriage was consummated, but evidence to support they didn't."
You are wrong, there is several references of her age...
Book 008, Number 3310: 'A'isha (Allah be pleased with her) reported: Allah's Apostle (may peace be upon him) married me when I was six years old, and I was admitted to his house when I was nine years old.
Muhammed was 54 at the time she was 9! Sorry, that is just plain wrong.
"Lastly, Jonah had *** with his two biological daughters, does that make it wrong to be a Jew or Christian?"
Can you help me out with this one? I cannot find the scriptures in the bible that state incest is permissable under Christianity..... Can you tell me where it states that?
Look, I do not hate muslims. But I am also not blind.
I observe that every muslim country seems to be fighting with their neighbors. I observe that muslim nations are the least tolerant countries. I observe that there aren't any noble peace prize winners who are muslim. I observe that none of our modern day advancements come from muslims. I observe that the terrorism going on all over the world is not coming from orthodox jews, hindus, buddhists or christians.... but rather muslims.
So would you say I am more out of touch with reality or are you?
@ Lyoung, Don't worry about the fool that posted his foolish statements about Muslim accomplishments or lack there of. Muslims have accomplished much here and abroad in the way of medicine and math, too much to mention. On to Bro.Calvin X, better known to the world as Snoop Dogg. Snoop is a member of the Los Angeles, Ca Mosque # 27. Snoop attended an event in which I was present, Saviours Day 2009, in Illinios, on Sunday. He, however was not wearing a bow tie but in fact, was wearing a black suit, white *** and a black necktie, his hair was also pulled back in braids. This bowtie picture of him is photoshopped. He, Snoop Dogg, did pull from his pocket one thousand dollars in cash and donated it to the Mosque. He is a very good brother and loves his people. AS Salaam Alaikum
@TEEMZDOTCOM, I WISH YOU HAD PREISHED IN IRAQ.YOU ARE A WORTHLESS PIECE OF MANURE.IGNORANCE IS A DISEASE.SOLOMON WASNT PERFECT,SO WAS MOSES,JESUS,ABRAHAM AND SO ON.THIS IS AMERICA AND RELIGIOUS TOLERANCE WILL PREVAIL.YOU ARE A COWARD AND I WILL LIKE TO SEE YOU GO...*** P...SY,TALKING ABOUT HE IS OWED A FAVOR,EAT A FAT D..***.

@ dieselpro
You think you have me figured out? I doubt it,unlike a vast majority of African Americans i choose to know my history. and history around the world, ISLAM & CHRISTIANITY ARE ***!!! PERIOD!!.. i would not encourage no black man to follow islam, THAT *** HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH US! BUT CHAINS & SHACKLES..that's about it! did you look up the "Arab Slave Trade"..."The Islamic African Slave Trade"?..well you need to check on it! because unlike yourself! i care about what my people is reading and are not doing fluent history on these false man-made pagan religions. for the fact we just don't care at all. and Farrakhan is an idiot, and all the Negroes who don't want to learn there history. and adopting these arabic names, I care about my people but a line is drawn to the negroes who choose not to know there history. THEY DON'T TEACH THAT IN THE NOI!?..Why? because just like all these religious leaders they are in it to make there pockets fatter. And me being from CHICAGO the city of fake dumb black preachers,Most of them don't know nothing in the bible but "Jesus died for our sins"..lol Us black folks don't need no *** religion what we need is our minds and common sense. Where has jesus got the black community?..no where for the simple fact he never existed. We need to be helping each other and fixing up the community not "Praise the lord and donating to the church or mosque" We need to eradicate ignorance within our communities,drugs ,gangs and religion. there's a liquor store on every corner in the black community and a church right across the street or next to the store. I've been to St.Louis, Columbus,Cincinnati,Washington, it's the same thing all over the U.S with us black people. and you are right a lot of us are *** CLUELESS! and very ignorant. I can't respect no negro who chooses not to respect himself, And go as far to embrace another culture's religion, Without first knowing the history about it. There is nothing from the NOI teachings to take unto your heart. They don't even know the qua'ran themselves.
@mrdefinite
YOU ARE CONFUSED! read the bible from genesis to revelation. you'll find that the bible and it's god "Yahweh" is a Psychopathic,Vindictive, Injustice,Cruel,Sick,Worship me constantly,NUT JOB. i know the bible fully!
And for the record Jesus don't exist! deal with it! and he was NOT BLACK!.. AND HE WAS NOT WHITE!....if he existed!..but he did not!..:)
Well to get the point across there is nation of islam is just and *** basically is an advocate group for black people and only blacks..this contradicts islam in general beacause islam does not discrimanate against any color. This is false relgion created by jewsss...this is just to mislead people about islam.... and the person who said there is no god i have a question for them how can something create itself ^
wow a lot of people talk from their *** basically for the next person sayin what contribution muslims have made..my god go to DUBI and there more advance and one of the most richest countries somebody really fell alseep in histroy class why do you think they rap about THAT ARAB MONEY>>> WOW THAT COUNTRY IS ON THE NEXT LEVEL AMERICA CAN"T TOUCH THAT >>>>>TO BUSY ON GREED AND IMPERALISM
