Entertaiment News: Snoop's Youth Authority

Snoop Has Documentary about his Life on FX


Snoop lets us into his past life by teaming up with documentary filmmaker Gabriel London to visit California's juvenile detention facility, Youth Authority where Snoop spent some time in his teenage years. Page Six reports that, "In one scene, he's brought to tears when he meets with a young gang member who calls himself "Lil' Tookie" (after one of Snoop's closest friends, deceased Tookie Williams). Snoop also takes the film crew to the place where he once allowed a group of Crips to beat him up so he could join the gang."

The documentary airs on Jan. 16 on FX if you're interested in seeing another former gang member tell his story of hard times yet again. It's also very unfortunate to know that a young man is calling himself "Lil Tookie," why on earth is one of our nation's youth looking up to a man who perpetuated the cycle of gang violence and ignorance? So sad, so so sad. I don't care if Tookie was nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize, he still contributed to the deaths of many innocent people-by no means should a young boy idolize or glorify that.
