Ladies and Gentlemen, we have reached our cruising altitude of 33 thousand feet. 33 THOUSAND FEET? Oh shit, man! We fuckin’ higher than Redman at the Source Awards!
For those of you whose sole source of news comes from QuizLaw and “The Daily Show,” which only airs Monday through Thursday, you might have missed Friday’s arrest of Snoop Dogg, also known as the far less back-doory, Calvin Broadus. Snoop was stopped in a California airport and arrested on suspicion of possessing marijuana and a handgun and later released on a $35,000 bond. This is Snoop’s second altercation with police in a little over a month, after he was arrested in September for allegedly trying to sneak a 21-inch collapsible baton onto a plane last year. Reportedly, the TSA wasn’t as concerned with the fact he was trying to board a plane with contraband as much as they were miffed that he’d tried to do so without sticking it in a clear plastic baggie first.
After Snoop’s most recent arrest, his lawyer released a statement saying, “There was no basis for this arrest. We believe that once this is cleared up, all charges will be dismissed.”
The D-O Double G, who is starring in this weekend’s Snoop Dog’s House of Horrors, was unavailable for comment after his arrest, purportedly because he’d tried to smoke his entire stash, plus the pistol, before police stopped him. He’s currently knee-deep in Doritos. Anonymous sources, however, reveal that his two most recent airport arrests, in addition to a scuffle he had last year in a London airport, dates back to a long-standing beef that Dogg has had with airport official since the 2004 release of Soul Plane.
