As the cartoonish sugarcoating of a familiar gory scene plays out, Snoop raps, “Trying to keep from dying in these muthaf—ing streets. F— the police from a black man’s point of view.”
Later there’s a “Clown House report” on the news. President Klump “wants to deport all doggs” (a clear reference to the Trump administration’s travel ban). Soon after, Snoop catches up with Klump and shoots him with a toy gun that replaces bullets with the word “bang.”
The 45-year-old rapper told Billboard that he wanted to make “a song that was not controversial but real — real to the voice of the people who don’t have a voice.”
“It’s a lot of clown s— going on that we could just sit and talk on the phone all day about,” continued Snoop, who in the summer led a Los Angeles march urging for better relations between the police and minority communities, “but it’s a few issues that we really wanted to lock into like police, the president and just life in general.”
