Apparently paying double most families' yearly income for an hour of "performing" isn't enough to get a washed-up criminal / rapper to represent at a childrens charity event. I was going to write my version of what happened, but somehow ended up ranting about how rappers and professional athletes should swap their salaries with teachers and police officers, so here's the scoop direct from the New York Post:
If you want Snoop Dogg to play at an event, not only will you have to pay his $150,000 fee, you'll have to accommodate his unusual tastes and enormous entourage. Organizers of Tuesday night's Pussycat Dolls concert at Cipriani Wall Street to benefit UNICEF (United Nations Childrens Fund), which also featured the rapper, had to fly in more than 10 members of his posse, first-class. Then, at the last minute, Snoop almost didn't go on because, "he insisted on having an Xbox in his dressing room," an insider said. "We finally found someone who lent us their kids' Xbox, and had to put Snoop somewhere on the third floor because he was smoking so much dope." Snoop and his pals were having such a good time they were an hour late making it to the stage...
There you go. Countless innocent children are abused sexually, physically, and mentally everyday, but Calvin Broadus needs him some Xbox. Can some one get this man a fire to die in?

also cocknizzles.
Charity work should be taken seriously.... People depend on you.
Fuck those broke-ass abused children! They can't even play with my nigga snoop!
Like Fergie says: "If ya'll ain't got no money take yo' broke ass home!" ....
same goes for abused chilluns, yo!
Well, you have to consider the term "imagination" in context to people who thought it was cool to have The Pussycat Dolls performing for charity. Hip-hop used to be amazing. Now only the underground stuff is good.
Wonder what his gamertag his.
then ya... Funny stuff.
Mac Dre > Snoop Dog
OR
This is a common practice and you just particularly happen to catch one snoop Dog doing it when many other celebrities do the exact same thing. HMMMMM.... I wonder? Nah that must be crazy talk Snoop Dog alone does this.
anyways
on the rider was an xbox, they rented one from the local blockbuster... snoop stole the xbox and all the games they had rented
Fuck yo charity nigga!
Oh yeah, isn't UNICEF an organization that rehabilitates child soldiers? Aren't most of them African (black)? You would think that Snoop would pay to do this, since it would be helping his... you know... people. But I still think its hilarious that he borrowed some kid's xbox and smoked dope with his homies and was an hour late.
I found Saddam's WMD bunkers
About those WMDs
Or refusing to go on until all of the light bulbs in their dressing room are replaced with Vegan firefly bulbs that give 50watts of light for 25 watts of power....Meh.
