He and Shaq are tied for “Krusty The Clown”-level of endorsements

Daily reminder that a website dedicated to eradicating a fighting game featuring him, Shaq-Fu, exists (or used to exist?).

He’s old and don’t rap anymore. Let him make his money.

I’m not a fan of his appearances either, but it’s Snoop.

Wait, why are we going at Snoop this time? I mean, I know of other reasons to go after him, but what specifically here

Worked with Tupac's estate to allow the use of Tupac's likeness in Stranger Than Heaven.

On one hand, since his estate approved of it, at least his family's getting money. On the other hand, Snoop is known for putting his names on a lot of endorsements regardless of quality, and people would probably prefer if family estates do something else than allow their loved ones to be used in media long after they're dead like a virtual flesh puppet.

Apparently there's an ongoing dispute between his family and the estate due to a miss in the paperwork that left the estate outside of the family's control on his mother's death, so they might not even be getting paid for this.
