Rapper Snoop Dogg Calls For Boycott Of New Roots TV Series Legendary rapper Snoop Dogg took a break from his joint to speak out against the television show Roots. Our country is at a pivotal moment when it comes to race relations, and yet The History Channel decided to reboot the 1977 series, launching it on Memorial Day of all days. The Roots reboot will probably do more harm than good, and Snoop was not very happy about it. Im sick of this shit, he commented in an Instagram video. How the f are they going to put Roots on, on Memorial Day? They going to just keep beating that shit into our heads about how they did us, huh? he continued. The airing was just one of the History channels four-part, eight-hour revival series. The original series is based on Alex Haleys Pulitzer Prize-winning novel, which debuted on ABC in 1977. Even Snoop can see that it is time to move past history. He was disgusted that they keep showing the abuse we took hundreds and hundreds of years ago. I aint watching that shit, and I advise you motherf**ers as real n***** lke myself; f*** them television shows, Snoop commented. Lets create our own shit based on today, how we live and how we inspire people today. Black is whats real. F*** that old s***. What do you think? Do you agree with Snoop?
