Well, I heard you askin’ why that Snoop Dogg fella, the rapper, why he wearin’ that T necklace all the time. I seen him on the TV, wearin’ it, lookin’ all fancy and what not. Some folks say it’s for somethin’ called “Death Row Records.” Ain’t that a scary name? Reminds me of them old western movies where they hang folks.
What that T necklace all about?
This here Death Row Records, they say it’s a music thing. Like a company what makes music. Heard it used to be owned by some other fellas, back in the day. Now, that Snoop Dogg, he owns it. Imagine that! Him ownin’ a whole music company. He must be doin’ alright for himself. That T on the necklace, I think it stands for this Death Row thing. It’s like their mark, you see. Like when Farmer Johnson brands his cows, so everyone knows they’re his.
They say this necklace, it’s a big deal. Like a symbol, or somethin’. Like when you see a cross, you think of church. When you see this T necklace, you think of, well, I reckon you think of Snoop Dogg and his music. And maybe this Death Row Records place, too. Folks are sayin’ it’s important to the whole, what do they call it, rap music. I ain’t too familiar with that kind of music myself. I like the old songs, the ones you can tap your foot to.
Snoop Dogg, he’s a big shot now
That Snoop, he been around for a long time. I remember when he first came on the scene, causin’ a ruckus with his music. Now look at him, all grown up, wearin’ that fancy necklace, ownin’ that company. He’s come a long way, ain’t he? Givin’ them necklaces away, too. Like he’s some kind of king or somethin’. I saw it on the TV, some singin’ show. He was givin’ them out to the singers. Must be worth a pretty penny, them necklaces.
- Death Row Records – That’s the name of the music company.
- Snoop Dogg – He’s the rapper, the one wearin’ the necklace.
- The T Necklace – That’s the thing everyone’s talkin’ about.
Why he wearin’ it though?
I reckon he wears it ’cause he’s proud. Proud of what he’s done, proud of ownin’ that Death Row Records. It’s like wearin’ your best Sunday clothes, but all the time. Showin’ off a little, you know? And folks recognize it, too. They see that T, and they know it’s Snoop Dogg. It’s like his trademark, like the hat I always wear to church.
Some people, they sayin’ all sorts of things about that necklace. Some say it means this, some say it means that. Some even say it has somethin’ to do with the devil. Can you believe that? I don’t know about all that. I just think it’s a necklace, a fancy one, that Snoop Dogg likes to wear. And it seems to be important to him, that Death Row Records, and his music.
It’s all about that music, I guess
See, back in my day, we didn’t have all this fancy stuff. We had our music, and we were happy with it. Didn’t need no fancy necklaces to show who we were. But I guess times are different now. These young folks, they like their fancy things. And that Snoop Dogg, he’s one of them, even if he is gettin’ on in years. He’s got his music, he’s got his necklace, and he’s got that Death Row Records. And people are always talkin’ about the T necklace he wears. Must mean somethin’ to him, this Death Row Records necklace.
I heard that Death Row Records started back in ’91. That’s a long time ago! And that Snoop, he put out some new music with them, after a long, long time. Twenty-six years, they said! He must really like that place, to go back after all that time. And that necklace, it’s like a reminder, I guess. A reminder of where he came from, and what he’s accomplished. Like a good luck charm, maybe. Or maybe it’s just somethin’ shiny he likes to wear. Who knows what goes on in these young folks’ heads?
I guess this Snoop Dogg and his T necklace, it’s gonna be a mystery. But it’s interestin’ to think about, ain’t it? A little necklace causin’ all this talk. Just goes to show, you never know what’s gonna catch folks’ attention. One day it’s a song, next day it’s a necklace. The world keeps turnin’, and people keep talkin’. And that Snoop Dogg, he just keeps on wearin’ that T necklace, makin’ his music, and bein’ himself. And that’s all there is to it, I reckon. He must like it, if he wears it every day. That’s why Snoop Dogg wears the T necklace, I think.
