Snoop
Dogg
is the targetof a Pasadena California based organization who call themselves
"Day One." The group, which is a non-profit organization
is calling for the end of Snoops’s weekly radio show on Power
106. Over 70 people protested his show outside of the radio stations
offices. The show, titled "The Weekly Smoke Out Session"
is being targeted by the group for glorifying drug use. The coalition,
which consists of members of the church, have launched a cease-fire
campaign, to stop the use of weed, alcohol, tobacco and other
drugs.
The group is offended
at the way Snoop starts the show, by encouraging listeners to
get their Blunts, lighters and bongs. The group called Power management
irresponsible for allowing blatant promotion of drugs over their
airwaves. In one promotion, Snoop played weed related songs, the
listeners wrote them down, and called in. The winning person received
a box of blunts. Vicki Phillips, the director of publicity for
the organization told allhiphop.com: We aren’t trying to attack
the music, or Hip-Hop, we are just out to clean it up."
