If I was old in 1993 I am most certainly now the ‘living dead’. So sad.

(Still couldn’t name one of his songs now to save my life).

This should help explain who he is and what his name is.

They probably asked Kendrick but he's not here til December and Tyler would've left the country already.

subjectiveit the 80's and we're talking about NWA again?

If Eminem came out, would there be the same outcry? His lyrics are far more explicit

Snoop has been married for 30 years and has never committed acts of violence against women. He did grow up in the gangs and poverty and had to get out doing whatever necessary

Music is art, like a movie - if you sing or rap something it doesn't mean you support it.

He is good enough for the Super Bowl and the Olympics but I guess the AFL is a moral step too far. Maybe he should stick a finger up someone's jacksy to be clear to perform

Maybe we could show loftier ideals ??

Strangely... this will shock you ... artists are often associated and representative of their art.

Granted, music, movie, art ...are all subjective. Possibly not all like or appreciate the subjects.

I used to be of the belief the Granny was ostensibly a family event??

As always each to own.

I dont mind overseas performers if it brings a global audience but I have no time for wrap music.

I would have preferred someone like Keith Urban who has local and an international profile.

Who's Keith Urban?

Mr Kidman

Rancid choice of "artist". Absolute distaste from me, and I cannot understand how any woman would be at peace with his "music" considering the disgusting lyrics he has propagated over his career. He is on record as saying he has no regrets about his woman-hating lyrics, even though he had a mild moment of regret when confronted by Dionne Warwick.

Drugs, pornography, gang connections - a real winner this bloke.

Where are Caro, Bec Maddern, Kelly Underwood - they should be up in arms over this. But no, they tow the party line and remain silent.

I rarely enjoy the half time GF entertainment but I will be turning it off this year.

Loftier ideals than a kid from long island that’s become an entrepreneur and cultural icon?

The man is a legend and the kids love him.

I get domestic abusers like Wayne Carey or general thugs and sexists like De Geoy being banned from events but i don’t see it with Snoop

Just have a pipe band.

Snoop won't turn up if the pipe is banned.

Wow, used to feel I was getting old, now I know I am. Who the hell is Snoop Dogg?

But then again I never heard of Taylor Swift until she toured in Australia the other year.

Snoop daggy daawg is very Milli Vanilli.

DEEP PURPLE would have been sensational with Highway Star, Black Night aaand SMOKE ON THE WATER!

He did prison time for cocaine possession and trafficking, was charged with murder, which he happened to beat and also was charged with sexual offences.

This is the entertainer the AFL has chosen for the GF.

Seriously, this is who they have chosen?

I would rather have chosen Meatloaf’s corpse.

This is an absolute disgrace, though I am sure many of the younger DL’s will disagree.

The AFL is just so pathetic on so many fronts now.

I would rather give the $5m to junior footy and have Mike Brady do a couple of numbers, get some more vision inside the rooms and just get on with the game.

Was he charged with sexual offences or was he sued by a ‘Jane Doe’ who later dropped the suit? Big difference.

Yes correct, not charged with sexual assault, but has faced multiple allegations and lawsuits from several women claiming sexual assaults.

Did face a murder charge.

Been a pimp too I believe.

Lyrics denigrating women have outraged women’s groups fighting domestic violence.

It’s very easy to judge when coming from a place of white privilege. He grew up in poverty, with a largely absent father (when he was in the picture, he was an abusive drunk); his role models were drug dealers and gang members when growing up. Yes, he performed some songs containing misogynistic lyrics. Yes, he was charged with possession of illicit substances (when he was 18) (charged 20 odd years ago with marijuana possession as well), yes - he claims to have been a pimp in 2003 (this claim was made just prior to the release of ‘Starsky & Hutch’ where he played a pimp. No evidence was identified to support his claim; I’m of the opinion that this claim was made for publicity purposes).

People are allowed to evolve and grow. He now supports dozens of charities (including giving to female victims of domestic violence). He also founded the Snoop Youth Football League, which provides opportunities for youth in underprivileged neighbourhoods to participate in football and cheerleading.
