What better way to go out and to solidify the [Bone thugs­-n-harmony] brand. I don’t see no other way. It has to be big. We have to make sure we reach everybody.

Snoop spoke primarily about L.A. saying “L.A. is known for gangbanging, we are one of the originators of gangbanging. So if we could gel together to find ways to work together and end the gang-violence hopefully—with the help of you guys—we’ll be able to go around the globe and go to our urban areas and inner cities and rid the violence and give these kids something other to inspire towards other than being a gang member or drug dealer.” The event also had a Ferguson youth group called lost voices and the family of Mike Brown.

In an interview with Complex French Montana made clear his comments from weeks ago stating lyrical rappers are broke. French says his comments were “flipped” made to sound completely different then what he had said. “They took it and flipped it a whole different way. What I really meant to say was ‘if you don’t have a business mind then you just rapping’…Rap is only 20 percent of what you doing. Cause you can go and read a book and write exactly what’s in that book in your song. And people gonna think you’re a genius. You’re not a genius. It was in a book…What I love about rappers and rappers I fell in love with my whole life is that I seen them go through the same struggles. I seen it from Tupac. That’s why a lot of rappers don’t have character.” A lot of rappers took offense to French Montanas previous comments and hopefully he has cleared the air on some of the issues.
