snoop dogg playing in ireland next year (rumour)

ThE_IVIAcIVIAIV

i heard from many people including radio stations that snoop dogg is gonna play a gig in ireland next year (hopefully bring a nice crew/extra people on to the lineup). tell me whatya think and know of this

Shrimp

That'd rock(rap) if he did.. what radio stations you hear it on? and who'd he have as a line up you think?

ubu

Yea, heard it was confirmed alright, but will not be going, snoop had one good album, doggystyle, anything else was just poor, and he just kept the same recycled crap lyrics/topics, nothing original whatsoever.

ThE_IVIAcIVIAIV

Great athmosphere ?!? have you ever gone to any of the concerts in ireland cause the scum that go really make for a crap night. Id love to see snoop but i know it would be full of every spa in dublin who thinks him and christy dignam are gods.

Bri

Yeah I'm pretty sure he'll play here. After the KanYe gig I was listening to Wes Darcy (for my sins!) and they were sh!tin on about another 'big' name coming over but no names...then they say "now here's snoop dogg" and sniggered. Pretty obvious I reckon.

I wouldn't go. Snoop is a clever guy in terms of success but he's a pretty crap rapper overall. The tickets will be overpriced and yes the crowd will be fulla knackers.

ThE_IVIAcIVIAIV

well why dont you keep away from them

Bri

What? Gigs? If I like the artist enough I'll go regardless. But average gigs mean the crap stuff bothers you. I don't think Snoop is that good so I won't go. What's the problem?

Cannibal Ox

I'll go for the laugh if the tickets are cheap enough.

Makaveli

Can't see them being cheap.
Probably will be in the Point and so you're looking at €40+.
Maybe he would play the Ambassador, that would be a better venue, not much cheaper though, MCD rip-off merchants.

ubu

RDS afaik, Plenty of scumbags will be in attendance i'm sure

Shrimp

yeah.. this would be Scumbag Central!

SNOOP DOGG Confirms Debut Irish Concert
News last updated: 20-12-2004

The most famous (and infamous) hip-hop artist around, Snoop Dogg has confirmed his debut Irish concert.

Snoop Dogg will play Dublin's RDS Main Hall on 22 February, 2005. Tickets priced from Euro 49.50 including booking fee go on sale from Ticketmaster and usual outlets nationwide this Monday 20 December at 11.00am.

Ever since his first appearance on 1992's classic "Deep Cover" single, Snoop Dogg has been one of hip-hop's most popular and charismatic players. He practically stole the show on Dr. Dre's genre-defining masterpiece The Chronic, setting the stage for Snoop's triumphant solo LP Doggystyle (1993), which became the first debut album to hit the charts at #1. After the demise of Death Row, Snoop moved on to Master P's No Limit label, releasing several records and maintaining a large core following.

In the late nineties, he began working with Dre again, resulting in standout tracks like "Still D.R.E.," and "The Next Episode." Not content with simply rapping, Snoop's entrepreneurial credits also include a self-titled clothing line, as well as his own label, Dogghouse Records, which released albums from Tha Eastsidaz and Doggy's Angels.

He's co-starred in such feature films as Training Day and The Wash, and put in work with companies as diverse as Nike and Hustler. Now a full decade into his career, Snoop Dogg is a high-powered mainstream celebrity.

Kable

trev, tickets just went on sale a few minutes ago, go get em :cool:

Kable

The tickets will be overpriced and yes the crowd will be fulla knackers.[/QUOTE]

if you all think snoop's fans are a bunch of knackers why are you wasting your time discussing his upcoming gig? this coming from people who are spending their boring days discussing a murdering ex-drug dealing rapper, get a life people. I'm sure they can section an area off for you people, no smoking, no drinking, no drugs, no singing, no dancing, no fun. oh, and you could always get mammy and daddy to wrap you up in cotton wool before leaving the house.

Cannibal Ox

^ Did the people bitching about it bring it up?
There just as entitled to their opinon as anyone who wants to see him.
The idea of a forum is to discuss stuff, with your own opinon. What the **** do you think people visit here for?
The company?

Tickets priced from Euro 49.50

**** that ****, I only wanted to smoke a fat one to My Name.
I can do that at home, and for half the price.

Bri

The last hip hop gig I was at had a couple beside me shagging in the crowd. Maybe you'd be ok with that?

Did they hit a little bit too close to the bone?

Wow you quoted from the one album that is actually good. Congratulations.

djfattony2000

Thanks, I've been practicing.

ThE_IVIAcIVIAIV

snoopys new album is good like his first, the ones inbewteen basically sucked because less than 1/4 of each album were good songs and the other 3/4 was just jibberish or the something. drop it like its hot and all the lastest stuff in the last year and a half is pretty good, you can be sure he will have a great song if its featuring someone good or if hes featuring on someones single. e.g still dre next episode etc

Shrimp

Whats the line up like?

ThE_IVIAcIVIAIV

we dont know yet, ive posted a thread askin people who they think will be on the line up , hopefully dr.dre :P well its not gonna be him lol

Klimseven

jaysus, the way yiz are goin on about knackers being 'in attendance' at gigs, ahahaa...no offense lads, but yiz sound like a bunch of Abercrombie & Fitch wearin southside a-rseholes who stay at home and play Championship Manager all day because 'town is full of shkangers loike, seriously'...ahahaha, bunch a geeks...

Makaveli

Well it is on in the RDS and we don't want any dirty little heroin riddled junkies coming along and depreciating property values.
In fact I think we should start a campaign to get the concert moved to the Point.

Totally agree wit you Kable ,
some people just havent a clue

How right you are.


Anyway, Its not the fact that they are knackers that would bother me, its the fact that they (generally) just have no respect for the artist at the gig and (for example) start booing the warm up acts etc, and just wreck generally everyones heads there.
If they were the biggest pickeys in the world and went along and didnt make fcuking idots out of themselves id have absolutly no prob with them.

Makaveli

I can just picture it now, hundreds of Nissan Micras and mopeds with neon lights and go faster stripes parked throughout Ballsbridge and Donnybrook.

Your all hyper sensitive noone is calling snoop fans knackers, if any of you have gone to a hip hop concert in ireland in the last 5 years you will be fully aware that there is a certain type of people who are only going to get in fights. 50 cent gig was a prime example of this where you couldnt walk into the point without seeing about 5 gangs of scumbags fighting cause one of them touched off the other. Its probaly the same at an oasis concert and a tousand other concerts just snoop is such a big name and is such an icon its going to bring with it that extra scum out of the woodworks.

Personally I hate the point as do allot of people so rds with all its problems might be better.

I think the warm up acts should be booed off stage it happens all the time at concerts. When people pay for something they dont want some dodgy artist who they dont know being forced on them they want at least someone they know. At kanye when wez darcey came on as much as i hate him at least i knew who he was and he played good music. Noone was booing untill them muppets came on and started rapping for what seemed like hours untill people started booing them and they fecked off.

ThE_IVIAcIVIAIV

all the people on this thread defending knackers could easily be knackers themselves
