CLUELESS LAWRENCE, KANSAS– Y’all know how I do it. I wait until everybody and their Uncle LeRoy, cousin Charles and Man-Man nem say what they have to say before I dive into the pool of opinions. So unless you’ve been under a rock with some Beats headphones on. You’re aware that the University of Kansas hired Snoop Doggy Dogg to do a show at their annual Late Night at the Phog. I had to say his whole name like it’s 1993 because they apparently didn’t know what to expect from him like it was 1993.
Now for those that don’t know what “Late Night” is, it’s their annual “Get Hyped” for hoop season event held on campus to introduce the basketball team to their fans. It’s a fan and family friendly event where there is crazy “turn up” for the upcoming season. There are player introductions, dunk contests etc. In other words, it’s a big time pep rally.
So these duns thought that it was a good idea to book Snoop to come in and do a 35 minute show like he wasn’t Snoop. He did everything that Snoop does but smoke weed during the show!!! On Campus, in front of school administrators and everybody’s big momma, maw maw and kids.
Stripper poles & money guns felt like KU giving a middle finger to the NCAA after program got hit with charges of malfeasance. Cuz what else did you expect? It's the "that tiger ain't go crazy, that tiger went tiger" line from Chris Rock. You hired Snoop pic.twitter.com/9cRuV7nnHI

Let’s keep it real or all the way 100, whichever comes 1st! Who was the idiot that thought that made sense? As a matter of fact, who were the idiots that thought that made sense? You mean to tell me that out of all of the people’s desk at the university that that memo landed on NOBODY said, “Hey bruh, you know how Snoop gets down right? You know that dun is going to ignore the no explicit lyrics part of the memo right? You know he’s going to turn this joint into a strip club right? You know he don’t give a “what” about what we’re trying to tell him right?”
You mean NOBODY thought that through? Even when the dun started pulling out the stripper poles and money guns? NOBODY said, “Hold up dawg! You can’t do that! This is a family/campus event. This ain’t Magic City or the Red Velvet Garner or some foolishness like that. We got Big Momma, Old lady Johnson and Dr. Winston and Co. up in this piece and tell those girls you got with you to stop taking their clothes off and dropping it like it’s hot.”
You mean to tell me that NOBODY thought that it made sense to stop ole boy from showing his complete butt in the middle of your campus? NOBODY bruh?
To issue an apology the next day is crazy and worthless because Big Momma was offended on Friday night not Saturday morning. She’s already appalled that you thought that it made sense to book Snoop in the first place. C’mon playa…you knew that it was crazy because you put him on at the end of the event and not the beginning of it. You knew it was a bad idea but you went with it anyway.
Now I get that these schools want to appeal to their student-athletes to help with the recruitment of the best players in America. Again, I get that, but Snoop is old Uncle Leroy to them. They know who Snoop is but he’s the Uncle that keeps jumping in the car with the fellas to chase women but he’s old enough to be everybody’s daddy including the women they’re chasing. Really bruh?
Can you imagine how stupid the administrators felt once this dun got doing. I bet everything started moving in slow motion because they were afraid to just cut the music off because they were still dealing with a gangster. Somebody probably said, “Yo cut the music and the lights off!!” Then the next cat said, “Are you sure you want to do that? We don’t want to upset him.”
They were more concerned with not upsetting Snoop and his camp than their fans. Think about that for a minute. As soon as he dropped the first “B” they could have pulled the plug but they didn’t. They could have easily stopped the show when it went south but they didn’t. Why? When the poles showed up on the floor Officer Friendly could have run out and shut it down but he didn’t.
Having Snoop on campus doesn’t appeal to a recruit. They’re coming to Kansas to hoop and to potentially get drafted. Snoop showing his butt at the Late Night event doesn’t help with any of that. Yo Kansas!! Stay in your lane and leave side bar antics alone. You’re Kansas because you’re a basketball factory not strip club. Stop me when I start lyin’!
