Snoop & T.I. Speak Out Against Gun Violence

Lenny Kravitz, Grace Jones, Lauryn Hill, Lion Babe, Thundercat, SZA & More Rock The Afropunk Festival 2015 in Brooklyn, NY.

Snoop Lion and T.I. partner with BET and The League of Young Voters to speak out against gun violence during the BET Experience at L.A. Live - a series of events surrounding the 2013 BET Awards weekend. Snoop and T.I. shared the stage with U.S. Representative Maxine Waters and Dr. Robert "Biko" Baker to lead a discussion on how to improve community relations and provide outlets for former criminals to rebuild their lives in order to offer useful alternatives to the problem of gun violence that plagues the United States. The discussion was inspired by Snoop's "No Guns Allowed" anthem and the subsequent initiative that has found the veteran MC partnering with MTV to take a stand against the proliferation of firearms and a culture of cool that encourages the use of deadly force. Check the video below for the full roundtable discussion. Contribute to Snoop Lion's anti-gun initiative here.
