Snoop Dogg Defers Songwriters Hall Of Fame Induction

Author Autumn Hawkins
June 15th 6:03 PM
LOS ANGELES, CA - JUNE 22: Recording artist Snoop Dogg performs onstage at night one of the 2017 BET Experience STAPLES Center Concert, sponsored by Hulu, at Staples Center on June 22, 2017 in Los Angeles, California.

Snoop Dogg will not be joining the rest of the inductees for this year’s Songwriters Hall of Fame due to personal reasons, the rapper states Billboard reports. Snoop has decided to defer his induction and be nominated for next year’s class.

He follows Sade Adu, who also withdrew from this year’s SHOF and will be honored in the next class as well. The nominees were announced Jan. 13, and the other five inductees are still on board. Glen Ballard, Gloria Estefan, Jeff Lynne, Teddy Riley, and Liz Rose will be honored.

In addition, Tim Rice will be honored with the Johnny Mercer Award, and Post Malone will receive the Hal David Starlight Award. According to SHOF, the latter award “was established to honor gifted songwriters who are at an apex in their careers and are making a significant impact in the music industry via their original songs.”

The 52nd annual Songwriters Hall of Fame Induction and Awards Dinner takes place tonight (Jun. 15) at the Marriott Marquis Hotel in New York City.

RELATED: Snoop Dogg Admits That ‘Gin And Juice’ Grammy Loss ‘Hurt’

Snoop recently made headlines after admitting that his 1995 Grammy loss for “Gin and Juice” did “hurt” his feelings but a fellow rapper softened the blow.

“Queen Latifah approached me about that song,” Snoop Dogg explained in a snippet from his unreleased audiobook From The Streets To The Suites. “Me and her was nominated for a Grammy for [‘Gin and Juice’] against ‘U.N.I.T.Y.’ She won and I was hurt, but she was like, ‘N—-, I love ‘Gin and Juice.’ That’s my favorite s—.’ So then I got unhurt fast.”

He added: “You know a muthaf—- get hurt ’cause he lose and s—. But I’m like, damn this is the Queen, n—-. Bow down. This is the muthaf—–’ queen, and she told me that. She said: ‘But, I love ‘Gin and Juice,’ that’s my favorite s—.’ So I was like you know what? I can take that L.”

  • 9. "Pass That Dutch" - Missy Elliott (2003)

    The music video for “Pass That Dutch” is iconic. In typical Missy Elliott fashion, the rapper/producer doesn’t miss a beat.

    Highest Lyric: “Pass that Dutch, pass that Dutch (Come on, pass the Dutch, baby)/Shake, shake, shake ya stuff, ladies”

  • 10. "Purple Swag" - A$AP Rocky (2011)

    If there’s one thing A$AP Rocky is going to be, it’s authentic. The rapper told Complex that he recorded this song while high.

    Highest Lyric: “Pretty green bud all in my blunt/ Oh, I need it”

  • 19. "Crumblin’ Erb" - OutKast (1994)

    The message behind “Crumblin’ Erb” is for kids to stop shooting at one another and just smoke and relax. “Crumblin’ Erb” uses the bongos from the 1974 Isaac Hayes song “Joe Bell” to create a trippy vibe for the record. The track is found on the debut album from the rap duo Southernplayalisticadillacmuzik which was released in 1994.

    Highest Lyric: “Of the cannabis sativa weed reefer, yeah, smoke s—“

  • 20. "High All the Time" - 50 Cent (2003)

    “High All the Time” is from 50 Cent’s debut album Get Rich or Die Tryin’. However, contrary to some of the artists on this list, 50 Cent admitted to never having smoked. “I don’t drink and I don’t use drugs, and I didn’t back then, either. I put that joint on the first record because I saw artists consistently selling 500,000 with that content.”

    Highest Lyric: “Give me a dutch and a lighter, I’ll spark s—
    And stay high all the time (I smoke that good s–)”
