A white brother can't help it---he was born thinking certain powers and privileges come with the territory. 53-54) He acknowledges, "I've been smoking chronic since before I can remember and … I'm still blowing upward of an ounce a day, between me and my posse. There's hardly a time between when I wake up and when my head hits the pillow that I'm not toking on a blunt… An ounce a day is what you might call a major commitment to getting high and staying high, and if you want to call that an addiction, I'm not going to argue the point. 63) But he adds, "Am I setting a good example for my sons?... I don't think so. If it ever gets to the point where my sons ask me about drugs, I'm going to tell them what I truly feel. They're better off without them… and if that makes me a hypocrite, then that's just a charge I'll have to cop to. 64) Still later, he says, "Cocaine is poison, straight up… and if you're looking for what brought life in the ghetto down to a dog-eat-dog level, then you've sure enough got your culprit.
210) This book will be "must reading" for anyone interested in Snoop Dogg, and Rap/Hip-Hop music and culture.

I'd done my time as a gangsta. 168) Of his decision to move with his family out of Long Beach, he says, "I've heard a lot of n____s get down on me for picking up and moving away from my roots, and my answer to them is… f__k y'all… I LIVED in the real world my whole … life, and when it's time to go for the sake of yourself and your family, you better do the right thing or you DESERVE what comes down… It's about survival for me and mine, and if that means packing up and moving behind the biggest, highest wall they can build, you can bet … I'll be there…" (Pg. 183) He concludes, "Brothers and sisters, listen to me. We've got to stop killing each other. We've got to turn our rage … [on] the system that keeps us oppressed and down and addicted to crack… We've got to spread the peace. Before it's too late. The way I see it, 'Pac didn't understand that… A lot of things changed when Tupac died… I think a lot of brothers in the music business woke up.. Fighting among ourselves, gunning each other down… just because we came from different 'hoods or cut on different labels wasn't going to make anything better… It was time to tell it like it could be.
93) He cautions, "Crime doesn't pay, as the old saying goes, and they got that right. For all the effort we put into ripping off folks' welfare payments, or breaking into a housing-project apartment to lift someone's VCR, we weren't even making a living wage. The fact is, I think I was doing better at Lucky's … and I … was working better hours. 88) He recounts that after a visit from his mother while he was in prison: "I could sense somebody, or something, sharing that space with me… I didn't hear a voice… But I sure enough realized… that no matter what had come before, no matter what I 'd done wrong… I still had a chance… I could make a difference in my life… Maybe you could say I had some kind of religious experience… It all happened in the quietness between my ears, between me and God, with no one else getting in the way. You can call that religion if you want… What happened to me was for ME and for me alone… I know God looked into my heart and saw that I was sincere… I know because He gave me a sign to show that it was so.
It was the only game in town. 41) He notes, "today, hip-hop music sells more records than R&B or soul ever did… Rap is the hottest music of our time and there's a good reason for it. It's real. It talks about the way things ARE, not just the way they ought to be…Rap is… a way for the n____s to make a noise, get noticed, and scare the s__t out of a lot … who've been trying to pretend that, if they don't pay us any attention, maybe we'd just go away. 45) He states, "Black and white have less in common than most of us want to believe---different ways of thinking and acting and looking at reality, and while maybe that doesn't mean we aren't ever going to be able to live together in peace, reaching that goal is going to be a whole lot harder than most of us, black or white, want to accept. White people, from my way of looking at it, have what you might call an attitude of entitlement. They expect things to come their way… and it's hard for them to accept the cold facts when they don't add up to the bottom line they have in mind.
