Snoop Dogg poses over Trump's dead body in new album cover
Rapper Snoop Dogg is seen standing over President Trump’s corpse in the new cover of his EP.
"The president says he wants to make America great again. Fuck that shit. We gonna make America crip again," Snoop Dogg says in the track.
"It's not a statement or a political act: it's just good music. Certain people feel like we should make America 'great again,' but that time they're referring to always takes me back to separation and segregation so I'd rather Make America Crip Again," Snoop Dogg said in a statement obtained by Rolling Stone .
"In my lifetime, that's when young black men in impoverished areas organized to help their communities and to take care of their own because society basically left them for dead. A lot of people glorify the gang-banging and violence but forget that in the beginning, the Crips' main and sole purpose was to be the reflection of the Black Panthers. They looked after kids, provided after-school activities, fed them, and stepped in as role models and father figures.
The EP is set to release Oct. 27, is just the most recent attack on Trump from the world of rap music. Eminem unleashed on Trump earlier this month at the BET awards during a freestyle-rap where he called the president a “racist grandpa.”
This isn’t the first time Snoop Dogg has gone after the president. The rapper, who was a vocal supporter of Hillary Clinton during the 2016 presidential campaign, targeted Trump earlier this year in a music video where he can be seen shooting a clown dressed as Trump.
Trump responded to the video, saying the rapper would have likely faced “jail time” had he pulled the same stunt with former President Barack Obama at the forefront.

I don't like the album cover. No one should allude to the death of a sitting president , or any other elected official.
Snoop Dogg is a game show host now, so evidently that is where his career is at.
This seems like publicity seeking.
Wow!
Who are you and what did you do with the real John Russell?
I feel the same way, would have with any other President also, regardless of party. Some things are just not acceptable.
One could argue that the cover is symbolic and not literal, but I still don't think is is acceptable.
Even without the Trump reference, why in the world would anyone want to make make America "crip?"
Because it sells music.
He must have a balloon payment coming due on his dope farm .....
That was a head scratcher for me as well LOL
Sorry, I was trying to reply to Tacos!
