Am I the only one that couldn't stand Snoop?


I hated that character. That bitch stayed popping off on anybody except Chris and Marlo. Michael couldn't catch a break for sh!t. I was glad when he finally shot her ass.







I woke up this way...

She was a good character. Defiantly something different you don't see on TV shows now and then. I first started watching the show in the middle of season 4 and I believe I went through the entire season thinking she was a guy. She had few moments of good comic relief too.

Snoop was magnificent!!!

She was an amazing character. I was cheering for her to go down for a very long time, but when it finally happened I was sad.

reply

Some characters are meant to be hated so it becomes satisfying when you see their downfall. Some other examples are Joffrey and Ramsey from Game of Thrones.

reply

She was entertaining. And a very good tipper!

They took some real creative license with the Snoop character being a female (which I, like others, didn't realize until way into the series).....no way would street drug kingpins/dealers have a female so far involved up in the chain or have that much info about the operation.....at that level, it's normally an all male organization. Females can be involved as low level corner people but no way would they have a say or be in the know of the major deals, players, etc.

Marlo didn't play by the conventional rules of the game; and Snoop being his number 3 was no exception...

reply

That's just simply not true, drug dealing organisations are male dominated without a doubt, but there have been some exceptions to the rule. It's not completely unheard of for females to be high ranking members, or on occasion to even be THE boss herself, with men working for her dealing and committing murders on her behalf etc.

It's certainly rare, but it does, and has happened, and not only in the US either.

you can't be serious. Lmao

They were a young crew, not run by old men, not that big on hierarchy.

reply

No, there are plenty of non douchey people in the world that not just didnt like Snoop, but understood the lowest common denominator appeal she had.

The worst of it was the trajectory she remained on because of the show, traveling on the winds of dbaggery as far as it would take her


shame on the last remnants of the hip hop community on hospice

She irritated the hell out of me. It was her mannerisms and way of speaking - it seemed a bit forced and unnatural to me.

reply

She just played herself! She's just like that in real life.
