SNOOP DISSED TUPAC ON IZ IT A CRIME?

The lyrics of “How many died tryin’ to play Scarface? It should be a f&*_ crime to let your talent go to waste,” has raised eyebrows by some fans and critics on DJ Skandalous’ social media as seen below.

There is no concrete evidence to suggest that Snoop Dogg is dissing Tupac Shakur in his new song “Iz It A Crime?” While some fans have speculated about possible subliminal shots, particularly in the context of Snoop’s renewed feud with Suge Knight, the lyrics of the track do not explicitly reference Tupac.

The song appears to focus more on Snoop’s personal experiences and his perspective on being judged in the music industry. In a recent listening session, Snoop explained that the track addresses how artists are often scrutinized for their actions, whether good or bad, and he poses the rhetorical question, “Is it a crime?” to challenge this judgment .
