Snoop Dogg proved he is the uncle of hip-hop by admitting that his dedication to his football coaching means more to him than ever winning a grammy. Snoop was recognized at the BET Awards with the “I Am Hip-Hop” Award for his classic style and inspiration. As a model to many artists in the game, his attention to the youth makes Snoop even more uncle-like and respectable as a person.
Looking up to Snoop Dogg as a rapper can easily give motivation to get on a grind of your own and understand that you can make a hustle out of anything as long as you stay true to yourself. Snoop made it clear when he made his acceptance speech that hip-hop is versatile and can be made into anything we want it to be. Being comfortable with your own style and having a positive self view are also stances Snoop preached while he was at the podium.
This is similar to a way of life. By being present in the youth around him, Snoop Dogg has sent many of his little leaguers through high school with a purpose, on to college, and five made it to the NFL according to Snoop! That is something to be proud of. While music can motivate, the actual presence and involvement is what helps the community grow and improve.
Though Snoop’s creation of classics in the hip-hop world and involvement should not EVER be over looked, his “I am Hip-Hop” Award is more than overdue. His humbleness and his ability to stay grounded while he has encountered fame and fortune is also award worthy. Uncle Snoop is truly a legend in music and in the family, forever!
