Re: Snoop Dogg in ATL?

Hopefully Snoop and Cudi come and preform their newest hit "That Tree." That would be so sweet to hear.

Re: Snoop Dogg in ATL?

Idk how many other peopole think this, but I'd leave the finally if snoop was rapping. Fortunately for people like me, THRICE is playing down the street from the Georgia Dome thursday night. It's going to be a tough decision between THRICE and roboprom . . ..

Re: Snoop Dogg in ATL?

I don't know anything about Snoop Dogg's "music", but I want to say this:

If the lyrics are something that your grandma would cringe at, it's a pretty good bet that it will not be played at a FIRST event. My guess is that there would be a pre-event screening that the performer in question would have to do before being allowed to perform at the event.

Here's why: Many, many years ago, during the Epcot days (fortunately for me, one I wasn't at--but my dad was and told me a little bit about it), someone played a video during the closing ceremony that hadn't been pre-screened by FIRST. As soon as it was over, FIRST apologized for showing it, because it was inappropriate. Ever since, videos have been pre-screened. Live performances would at least need to give some indication that it would remain reasonably family-friendly.

My guess is that the rumored visit to Atlanta has nothing whatsoever to do with FIRST, or was canceled at some point. Atlanta is a big city, with dozens of venues and many events (like car shows or home and garden shows, to name a couple) going on. If somebody says they'll be in a city of that size, and you want to meet them, it'll be almost impossible to find them, unless you know exactly where they're going to be. We don't know if he'd be coming for FIRST, for the Braves, for a concert, for fun (what? musician going somewhere for fun?), or what.

I'll see you all after you get back from the Island of Conclusions; have a nice swim. [bonus points if you get the reference]

Re: Snoop Dogg in ATL?

Never mind the artist Snoop Dog, if Reel Big Fish was to perform Snoop Dog, Baby in ATL that would wicked sweet!

Even more so than when Streetlight Manifesto was in Atlanta on tour several years ago!

You're basing your conclusions on a small subset of popular musicians' tabloid reputations, rather than the whole picture. "Musicians" are a lot more than Britney Spears, 50 Cent, James Hetfield, and Trace Adkins. There are countless musicians who do live perfectly admirable lives who are good examples, in all genres of music. I can't imagine why you'd say someone like Itzhak Perlman wouldn't be a good example.

On a related note, there's no need to be cruel or insulting to Snoop Dogg's music in this thread. It's justifiable to say that you don't like it or you'd prefer him to appear. It's logical to point out the reasons he probably won't appear. However, you don't need to insult one of the most successful and influential musicians of the past 20 years. This isn't the place to have that debate.

Dude that'd be the sickest finale for the Championship event.


So many "haters" on these forums, why so prejudiced?

"Oh hey a rapper, what a bad influence" - closed minded CDer

"These kids are all a bunch of anti-social nerds hahahahaha" - closed minded rapper reading CD


You guys need more perspective in your lives. You who are so quick to bash the guy do realize that acknowledgment of FRC by someone like Snoop Dogg would be big publicity and a big statement for both FRC and Snoop right? Yeah.

Re: Snoop Dogg in ATL?

I think he appreciates Technology...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XpWxHIUC5M0

It would be cool to have him speak at the Championships. Some people may argue he may not be the best role model. but he could be one of those voices that could convince people who want to be rappers to be engineers instead...

If RBF or SM performed for FIRST that would absolutely make Hotlanta perfect, besides maybe a few more bands and free ice cream. XD

Re: Snoop Dogg in ATL?

If he does make an appearance, it doesn't necessarily have to be a performance, it can just be a small speech.

And with Dean's task this year of getting more people to come out to the competitions, I can see this as a method toward increasing audience size.

Robots+Rap=?
Why not?
