Snoop Dogg Disses Suge Knight And Xzibit By Chuck 'Jigsaw' Creekmur, BET.Com Staff Writer

Posted August 13, 2002-- On the latest DJ Kay Slay mix-CD, West Coast OG Snoop Dogg has issued a new, scathing dis to Suge Knight and the roster of Tha Row Records. The song, "Pimp Slap," also jabs at Kurupt and onetime ally Xzibit. "The bully needs to get checked. It's long overdue," Snoop told BET.com, "F**k Suge Knight for real."

On the song, Snoop says to Suge, "...In the paint playing post/ I back ya down like Shaq Daddy/ and bust on ya out the new Caddy/and skirt up Wilshire Blvd/... I got the word on you Simon /you just need to start rhymin'/ 'cause you're the biggest star on your label/ and them other ni**as are just crumbs off my table..."

Of Kurupt, Snoop says, "A lot of ni**as should have said it/ f**k em but I'm gonna say it for 'em/ Stop it, pop it, rewind it and play it for em/...Suge Knight's a b**ch and that's on my life... Your rappers and artists tell em shut it up/Cuz I'll f**k every last one of them up/Especially Kurupt, see that's my lil homeboy so he knows what's up."

In various interviews, the Long Beach native has made it known that he found it hypocritical when his cohorts-in-rhyme Dr. Dre, Xzibit and Eminem waged a vicious lyrical assault on producer/rapper Jermaine Dupri, but have never mentioned adversary Knight on record.

In May, Dre recorded "What You Say" with Eminem, a song that dissed Dupri. Also, Xzibit recorded an anti-Dupri freestyle that appeared an Eminem-hosted DJ Kay Slay mix-CD. After the songs dropped, Snoop told LA's Power 106, "Don't just gang up on the little man [Jermaine Dupri], diss the big man [Suge Knight] too. Don't do it half-way. Diss anything that's getting at you."

In an interview with The Source Magazine, Xzibit admitted that he didn't want to be included in Dre, Snoop and Daz's squabbles with Suge Knight. "Nobody gonna feed my 7-year-old if I get smoked behind some rap music...I wasn't there when Death Row started," he said.

In the past, Snoop has been vigilant in dissing Suge with songs like "Death Row Is Bi**hes." Snoop was also in a brief altercation with Suge Knight at the 2002 BET Awards in June in Los Angeles.

In related news, Snoop recently dropped a compilation album, Snoop Dogg Presents Doggy Style All Stars, Welcome To Tha House Vol. 1. The album features appearances by Cam'ron, Lady of Rage, RBX, Alchemist, DJ Premier, Special Ed, Lady May and Hi-Tek.
