* Pretty sure I’ll be in attendance…
Rap icon Snoop Dogg is coming to the 2019 Illinois State Fair! Snoop Dogg and Friends will perform Friday, August 16 on the Grandstand stage.
With more than two decades of award-winning albums and songs, hit television shows, films, lifestyle products, philanthropic efforts, and digital ventures, Snoop Dogg is an unparalleled musical force at the forefront of popular culture. Since 1993, Snoop Dogg has released 17 studio albums, sold more than 35 million albums worldwide, reached #1 on Billboard charts, and received nearly 20 Grammy® nominations. His most recent album, Snoop Dogg Presents Bible of Love, debuted at #1 on the Billboard Charts in 2018 and was his first offering in the gospel music genre.
Snoop Dogg is the third Grandstand act announced for the 2019 Illinois State Fair; a capella group Pentatonix and country duo Dan + Shay were announced earlier this month.

Sure it’s a coincidence that Snoop is an outspoken proponent of marijuana legalization.

Have they bagged Willie Nelson yet?

Puff, Puff, Pass?

Instead of paying Snoop his usual appearance fee, the state is just going to give him a license to sell MJ.

Are Bone Thugs N Harmony part of the friends?

Well it looks like we know the date JB will be signing legalization into law.

Great, will not be able to see the butter cow that day due to all the people just staring at it.
Dude it is a cow made out of butter… how meta is that

One more reason to expedite legal weed.

So does the Governor support the image referenced in the linked article, asking for a friend…

Does anyone know why the Governor would personally select the performers at the Illinois State Fair, asking for a friend…

Gin and Juice Shakeups for everybody!

MrMJM I always figured JB as a Run The Jewels fan

saw him in Cancun in 2009. he came out about 2 hours late but was a pretty good event.

I bet Snoop Dogg thinks Chicago is the site of the state fair. Somebody better let him know it’s Springfield.

“I bet Snoop Dogg thinks Chicago is the site of the state fair. Somebody better let him know it’s Springfield.”
This would be far from the first show where Snoop doesn’t know — or care — where he is.

This may be the first grandstand act to sell out in a long time. Let’s hope ticket prices are reasonable.

This will bring in some $$$

It will be a banner day for anybody selling munchies

Ya think JB and Snoop will share a bowl right after an on stage bill signing?

Hopefully, Will Ferrell won’t make an old-school surprise appearance.
Comment by wordslinger Thursday, Feb 21, 19 @ 1:57 pm
lol what year is it? Snoop must really need a paycheck; which is actually very obvious given the records he makes featured appearances on. pay him enough and he’ll lay down some bars on any trash beat.

As long as there’s no live performance of that God-awful game show he has on TBS, I’m fine with this

C’mon, be real. Bone Thugs-n-Harmony were tight with Easy E; Snoop is tight with Dr. Dre who had a major falling out with Easy E.

Actually Bone Thugs n Harmony did songs with both Biggie and Tupac in the middle of the east coast vs west coast gangsta rap rivalry. You’ll also take note that Dre mentions missing Eazy E on the Chronic 2001 album despite the falling out.

Do not ever speak negatively of the Joker’s Wild ever again. Well, the original version.
“Joker…JOKER…US States”

Awesome to see CapFax commenters flex their knowledge of West Coast g-funk and the 90s rap coastal rivalries and their affiliations! I never knew CapFax commenters had so much game!

I had to Google a snoop dog. I guess Glen Miller wasn’t available?
Comment by Blue Dog Dem Thursday, Feb 21, 19 @ 6:04 pm
I was kinda hyped about this…until I saw his last release was gospel music…just as bad as country…oh, and if JB won’t? I’ll share a bowl with him. LOL

Snoop has a gospel album out? Is it rap, or does he sing? Is this for Rastafarians, or can I play it in my Christian church?
