That seems like a far cry from the Snoop Dogg I grew up hearing from the cars in my high school parking lot from friends who liked things a little more "gangsta".

Reviewing New Albany's Crazy Packed Weekend [Southern Indiana]
New Albany was packed with events this weekend! I went to as many as I could, taking photographs in the process. Pictured above is a view of Celts on the River. It was hot. Really hot. But worth the trip.
