In 2009 I was offered an 11 year sentence in prison, and in 2010 I “beat” the case and decided to never look back. Life is what you make it ☺️

snoop dogg grabbed a knife, hid under a blanket, and rode a 5-hour flight in silence next to his best friend.
it was the last time he'd see tupac alive.
snoop grew up in long beach. at 12, he joined a gang. "drugs and gangs were as much a part of your life as stop lights and street signs." his mom kicked him out at 17.
then he met tupac. "fell in love with that man. we started building a brotherhood. the calm one and the relentless one."
snoop thought he was untouchable – until his bodyguard shot and killed a man. snoop turned himself in for first-degree murder. suge knight bailed him out on a million dollar bond. 10 p.m. house arrest.
tupac wanted him to stay gangster. snoop: "I got a baby on the way. I have a lot to live for. somebody's life was lost. I don't want to live this gangster life no more."
verdict: not guilty.
then the east coast/west coast beef exploded. tupac was convinced biggie and puffy set up his shooting. snoop never believed it. "they was his friends at the time."
tupac dropped a diss track saying he slept with biggie's wife. snoop: "I ain't really feeling that, cuz. he took it too far."
then angie martinez asked snoop on air: how do you feel about puffy and biggie? he said: "I'm cool with him. I want to do some music with him."
tupac took it as betrayal. "death row looked at me as a traitor. you had sided with the enemy."
the plane ride back to LA – 5 hours on a private jet. tupac didn't say a single word to him. snoop got off the plane: "cuz, you going to vegas?" tupac brushed him off. went his way.
next call snoop gets: "turn on the news."
tupac shakur was shot four times in a drive-by.
snoop drove to the hospital. "I'm thinking he's going to make it. when I went to go see him – that ain't what I got. he wasn't moving. he wasn't talking. he wasn't breathing on his own."
tupac's mother pulled him aside. told him to be strong. that's when snoop knew.
"I got right on the side of his head and just started whispering to him. telling him I loved him. to hold on. he was going to be okay."
snoop went to the bathroom. fainted. threw up.
"me and my homie wasn't straight. I'm not even going to be able to apologize to him. or just tell him – I feel you. I'm wrong. how can we fix this?"
tupac died at 25.
compton erupted. 12 shootings. a 5-day blood bath. three men dead. ten wounded. "we was right in the middle of all that madness."
snoop looked around. "all of the rappers that was writing about death – they all dead. I got a baby. I got a wife. I wanted to live."
"my life is not based off me being a gangbanger. it's based off me being positive. finding ways to help others. the key to this thing is bringing people together."
"pac was taught how to love at a very early age. and through his music, he shared the love with all of us."
snoop chose peace. and never got to say goodbye.

I love that this influencer decided to take this moment to share his adoration about R and B artist and actor Jason Weaver. I agree with everything he says about this. 🫶🏾#JasonWeaver

Karl Bushby left home at 29 to walk around the world and figured he'd be back in twelve years. He is 57 now, he has just stepped onto British soil for the first time in 28 years, and his mother's front door in Hull is still 250 miles away.
He made two rules in 1998 at the southern tip of Chile: he could not use transportation to move forward, and he could not go home until he got there on foot. The ocean between Alaska and Russia should have ended the whole attempt.
He has spent nearly half his life keeping a promise he made to himself at 29, while everything back home kept changing without him.
Which would have broken you first, the walking or the not going home?

Travis and Jason Kelce were in TEARS listening to Jamie Foxx tell the story of meeting a guy on the beach who claimed he ran a 4.2 40-YARD DASH, so Jamie called Ray Lewis to fact-check him and Ray told him to LOOK AT HIS ASS 😭💀
“I said, ‘This dude on the beach say he run a four deuce.’
‘F, what his ass look like?’”
“I said, ‘Hold on, hold on… WHAT? How do we get to there?’”
“Fox, if he run four deuce, we can use him. Look at his ass.”
“I said, ‘Man, he ain’t got no ass.’
‘Fox, he LYING.” 😭😭

4 years ago Bo Davidson had quit baseball, he was playing slow pitch softball and working at a warehouse. 3 years ago he was virtually unknown playing in community college when a Giants scout accidentally discovered him. On Monday, Bo made history with a hit, stolen base and run in his MLB debut. Never give up on your dreams. @NBCSGiants #sfgiants

I kind of get why everyone who lives in Chicago is kind of annoying about their city.
Darius Jones retweeted
16 different host cities for the World Cup. Chicago isn't one of them.
That's tens of thousands of tourists who aren't spending money in Chicagoland right now. Road trips that aren't traveling through Illinois. A wasted opportunity to showcase America's 3rd largest city on the world stage.
Why? Because we couldn't afford it. Illinois and Chicago are in fiscal and economic death spirals, and it's bankrupting our potential.
When cities like Kansas City are thinking bigger than we are, it's time to look in the mirror. Chicago is a world class city. It's time we started acting like it.

Drive through Lakeview to Lincoln Park and Old Town to River North and EVERY bar, every restaurant was packed. Sox games have 25-35k people at every one of them and Wrigley Field is always packed. The riverwalk is always loaded with people while the Viagra Triangle is the place to be scene. World class shopping on Rush St and Oak St and 30 miles of beautiful beaches on the biggest body of fresh water in the world. The city is alive. It is pulsating with energy and abundance. Chicago is the best City in the country.
