Snoop has absolutely no chill.

Snoop Dogg got himself into a bit of hot water recently over his comments regarding the Los Angeles Lakers and their poor play as of late. If you remember correctly, we reported yesterday that Snoop suggested trading everyone on the team, although he said so in much harsher terms.

"Ship all them n***as out. Get a slave ship, and ship all them sorry motherf*ckers the f*ck outta here!" Snoop said. "These sorry mother f*ckers ain't going to do sh*t. These goofballs ain't going to do sh*t. They sorry."

In the aftermath of the comments, some called Snoop racist for what he said and took exception to the fact that he took it so far as to mention slave ships. Well, sources close to Snoop told TMZ that the rapper didn't many harm or racist undertones by his comments, even going as far as to say to that he doesn't have a racist bone in his body. Instead, the sources said that the rant was just an upset sports fan unleashing a season's worth of frustration onto social media.

Snoop will probably be even more pissed off now that it seems like the Lakers are doomed to finish outside of a playoff spot.

Were you offended by what Snoop had to say? If so, let us know in the comments.
