Women are on his mind. Just not in a progressive way.

White singers deserve the same scrutiny for sexism as Snoop Dogg

Yesterday, Snoop Lion (formerly Snoop Dogg, real name Calvin Broadus) had been granted a visa to perform at this year’s Big Day Out festival. This was despite of the efforts of Collective Shout, an activist group against the objectification and sexualisation of women which petitioned to have his visa refused on the basis of lyrics' misogyny, his criminal history and his previous work as a pimp.

This is not the first time the organisation has protested against an artist on the basis of them glorifying violence against women. In 2013, Collective Shout called on the Australia government to revoke the visa of rapper Tyler the Creator. His music is relatively well known outside his fan base due to its graphic depictions of rape and murder (though it has been noted that he has toned his lyrics down on his latest album). In 2011, the organisation co-sponsored a petition against another rapper, Kanye West, to block his music video for Monster due to its eroticised violence.
