the Twitter revolution

Snoop Doggie Dog will soon be in Cardiff.

So, he tweeted his fans to ask which was the best
fish chippy shop.
Of course, not all of them realise that "fish chippy" is
rap code for marijuana.

He wants a fresh, local supply.
Welsh hemp is said to be the best in Europe.
I suggest he has a chat with Goldie Looking Chain



All you have to do is read both stories and put 2&2 together.
2 splifs, that is.

Snoop Dogg asks fans ‘where are the best fish n chips in Cardiff?’ ahead of concert
by Sam Malone, South Wales EchoSep 30 2011inShare.0 2SUPERSTAR rapper Snoop Dogg has called on his Welsh fanbase to help him find the best fish and chips in Cardiff.

The US rapper, record producer, actor and entrepreneur turned to his millions of Twitter followers yesterday for recommendations ahead of his forthcoming gig in the capital.

“I want 2 know about the best fried chicken in chip alley,” he said first, before then inquiring of food blog site CardiffBites where he could buy waffles in the Welsh capital.

Then, taking up his knowledge of city landmarks, he asked his followers: “Where’s da best fish n chips in cardiff?

“At Albany Fish Bar or the Codfather?!”

Nicki Tudor, author of CardiffBites, said: “It’s been utterly mad the past 24 hours.

“Completely out of the blue I got a tweet from Snoop Dogg. I’ve no idea how he or his people came to find me or my blog, it was so surreal. At first I thought ‘is this serious?’ because I know people set up fake accounts but his was verified.”

As well as reaching out to his fans on Twitter the controversial star – who in 2007 was once forced to cancel his gig in the city after he was denied a UK visa – released a series of videos on YouTube paying tributes to a series of Welsh figures – from the famous to the obscure.

Among the subjects of his videos – all filmed with him wearing a blue Cardiff City shirt – were footballers Ryan Giggs and Gareth Bale.

He then turned to Olympic sailing hopeful Hannah Mills and Tiana Hinton, a nine-year-old girl who chased a robber who had stolen her mum’s purse while the pair were shopping in Cardiff.

BBC Radio Wales DJ Bethan Elfyn, who is going to Snoop’s gig at the Motorpoint Arena on October 8, said it was unusual to see such a global star pay so much attention to his fans in one particular city.

She said: “He’s one of the hip hop icons of the past 20 years so for him to film these videos is so refreshing.

“How often do you see someone as big as him taking the time to do what he’s done?”
