Hypocritical on her part. Diddy is a total douche. His lyrics and the way he has treated the women in his life…he's no different than Snoop.

Agreed. But Snoop is a pornographer. I think that gives him the douchey edge.

I got no love for Diddy either, but so far he hasn't shown up at an event with women on leashes.

Oprah can like who she wants. She's a 50-something year old black woman. Anybody expecting her to have lots of hip-hop in her CD player? I'm not. If it bugs rappers that she doesn't have them on her show, who's stopping them from having their own talk show?

Waiting……..

I blame her for being fooled. I love Oprah but I question the research done for her show sometimes.

And I watched those town hall episodes and it was Maya Angelou that suggested that Snoop (she'd messed his name up) and Diddy be invited to her show one day to discuss what their issues are with women. They actually criticized all misogynist rappers and I don't know where Snoop got his he said/she said info from because no one said "Snoop has lyrics like this…"

And I don't wanna hear "We just keeping it real Oprah" or "That's how it be's in the hood Oprah." If Oprah allowed those coons on her show to defend themselves, Negroes would get beside themselves in anger and lambast Oprah for having them on her show. They'd say that she'd made Black men look bad to White America all the while forgetting that there is a BET that's been doing that for 20+ years.

@ khia213

Thank you! I don't see them putting respectable (Black) women in their videos. I don't see them asking Oprah to be in their videos. Why do these angry baby boys think they're entitled to be a guest on Oprah?

LOL at that negro for likening is treatment to that of Jesus'.

Anonymiss,

C'mon now! They're treating Snoop just like Jesus! We all know that J.C. was down with smoking blunts and calling women out their names. Aren't those like central tenants of Christianity?

Anonymiss give me an example of a respectable black women who is ready to be in a rap video.

@khia213

LOL @ "J.C."!

@ Chick Noir

I wasn't suggesting that there should be any respectable women in their videos. I just don't understand why rappers feel so disrespected (ignored) by Oprah not paying them any mind. They are of no interest to her target audience. It is her show, right? She's not on their projects so why should they be on her show? Just cuz she's Black doesn't mind that you're entitled to anything from her.

@Anonymiss
"I blame her for being fooled. I love Oprah but I question the research done for her show sometimes."
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!! Oh my god finally someone is questioning the dubious and lazy research skills that work behind the Oprah show!? It's so bad I barely, ok, I NEVER watch it but my sister does and when I catch it, I'm just like 'whhhaa?'
I'm glad that whole James Frey thing happened to her because she/they don't do their homework!

The power/cult of Oprah is absolutely amazing! What Snoop, Ludacris and 50 Cent have come to believe is that to obtain some legitimacy beyond their usual fan base, they need to sit on Lady O's sofa and have a chat to discuss rap's continue amoral and hypersexual protrayal of Black women and the leading role they have taken in bringing this about.

Well boys listen up, Oprah knows very well what it means to have a celebrity or nobody (who after sitting on her sofa is imbued with 15 mins of fame) sit on her sofa for whatever reason - the fact of the matter is that she is withholding her largess from you because you're simply not her kind of people. No matter how many CDs are sold or how much money you make, it's probably not going to happen. If ever these three get a call from the Oprah show it will be because they've reinvented themselves (Jay-Z is a good example - he would not have been able to sit on her sofa 6/7 yrs ago) and are now considered a mogul moreso than a rapper and are doing great things in and for the community or they've decided they were wrong about their brand of rap and they've come to alter of Oprah for redemption.

As far as Diddy is concerned, I believe he gets a pass because his misogynist ways are primarily confined to his private life (is he even thought of as arapper anymore?)- if that is the case, it says a lot about Oprah's ability to compartmentalize and weigh the mistreatment of Black women.

@Anonymiss- Point taken. Those guys are only attacking Oprah for so they can move units.

She had Kevin Liles on there on the side of the industry and his bumbling idiot responses were plain embarassing. I don't care how articulate you are when you state your case, if your point is that you only "put certain types of women on leashes" or some other foolishness, there is no need to give you a platform. SMH

Oprah has on her show whom she likes. These ignorant rappers need to stop whining. Oprah is not thinknig about them or legitazming some of the crap they create. Snoop needs to go into rehab before he arrested on drug possession for the 20th time instead of worrying about Oprah, who once again hasn't given him a 1st, 2nd or 3rd thought.

I do think that Oprah is seen as a journalist and that is not what she is anymore. She hasn't been a journalist in over 20 years. Journalists have some obligation to cover all sides and give everyone a voice. I was thinking about it when she endorsed Obama and after a while, it occurred to me that so many people look at her and listen to her as if everything she does is fair in the sense that a NYT article or a CNN report SHOULD be. It's her show. It's her life.

Gorgeous Black Women

Oprah show is about bettering lives. Each time Diddy has been on he has been promoting something positive(voting,raising money for failing schools,etc) Snoop Dogg hasn't promoted anything positive((drug arrest, pornography) and he's a disgrace to our ancestors.

@ boo hoo

What struck me as bad research on her show was when she had Superhead there. Homegirl put on an Oscar-worthy act.

@ coco_fiere

Remember when Blood Diamond Russ (Gotta love Bossip, LOL!) said that "we have to understand the realities of these guys"? That was his way of trying to reason with the nay-sayers (Stanley Crouch, Jason Whitlock, etc.) and explain where these garbage rappers are coming from.

Stanley Crouch said (paraphased) "Why are we always trying to understand where they're coming from? Do we try to understand where the KKK is coming from when they terrorize Blk ppl? I don't wanna hear it." Good point.

Snoop, please. Every time I watch the news your dumb ass has been arrested for some dumb shit. For someone with children you sure act like a dumb ass.
