Rapper Snoop Dogg’s tour bus was pulled over near Dallas, Texas yesterday before a concert. As you might imagine cops smelled marijuana and arrested two of the passengers on the Snoop-Mobile.
The two men who claimed the marijuana (nice pawns there Snoop) and were arrested were Kevin Barkey and Ethan Calhoun.
Snoop, who is on probation, was not charged with anything. Snoop is on tour with rock band 311.
Jay-Z, the man with the beats, NBA team and Beyonce, also seems to have the most money among rappers.
The rap icon, aka Shawn Carter, is No. 1 on the site’s list of “Hip-Hop Cash Kings,” based solely on 2006 income. He banked an estimated $34 million, Forbes.com said Thursday.
Jay-Z, president and CEO of Def Jam Recordings, released his 11th studio album, “Kingdom Come,” which sold around 2 million copies. Jay-Z, 37, is also part owner of the New Jersey Nets and has endorsement deals with Budweiser, Hewlett-Packard and General Motors.

Number of rappers on this list who go by their real name? Three, that would be Kanye West, Pharell Williams and Scott Storch.

Rapper Snoop Dogg has been arrested yet again. This time the troubled rapper was pulled over after his rap appearance on The Tonight Show in Burbank, California.
Detectives from the Burbank Police Department served a search warrant on Snoop, whose real name is Calvin Broadus, outside NBC studios in Burbank at approximately 7:30 p.m. this evening. Police say they found the rapper in possession of cocaine, a firearm and a large amount of marijuana. He was also cited for allegedly having a false compartment in his vehicle.
Law enforcement officials tell TMZ the search warrant was conducted as part of an ongoing investigation into the Dogg’s arrest earlier this month at the Burbank Airport, after he allegedly tried carrying a gun in a carry-on bag onto a plane.
Snoop must have one heck of a lawyer because he has not served any jail time since the early 90’s.
The video that never was for Britney Spears song Outrageous included scenes of her seducing rapper Snoop Dogg on a basketball court. Outrageous was to be the fourth single from In the Zone. Britney injured her knee during filming and the video was never completed according to Wikipedia.
The single was supposed to be coupled with a music video directed by previous Spears collaborator Dave Meyers (”Lucky,” “Boys”); however, Spears sustained a knee injury during a dance routine and could not complete it. Clips of the video, which feature a cameo appearance by Snoop Dogg, can be found on her Greatest Hits: My Prerogative DVD.
Shot in Queens, New York, the supposed-to-be music video that was included in the DVD starts in the middle of the song where Snoop Dogg was seen playing basketball with a group of people. Suddenly, Britney interrups and ruins the game. She proceeds to flirt with Snoop and then licks his beard during the line “until I vow to keep it forever.” In the next scene, she and her dancers perform in a wet street, which is where she injured her knee.
I guess when Snoop wasn’t gangsta enough for Brit she decided to marry true gangsta Kevin Federline.
