Hip Hop: Snoop brings Football to Chicago’s youth
Been a crazy Summer! Livin’ it up on this end, hope you’re are doing the same.
So… this week in Hip Hop, Holly Wood, and Fitness we have
Snoop Dogg is showing the impact that Hip Hop & Fitness has on the community by starting a football league in Chicago for young Boys. You all know that Chicago is going through something serious in the streets, too many young lives being taken.
Snoop is taking the same formula he has used in Los Angeles since 2004 and bringing it to the Chi.
Snoop speaks on the purpose of the league:
“If we don’t give these kids nothin’ to fight for, they’re gonna die for nothin. I wanna give them something to fight for. Sometimes in life you gotta understand the small things like football and teamwork and organized community work goes a long way with these kids.”
The league is comprised of 6 teams from 6 neighborhoods, and they start their season in August 2011. It sounds like the league is doing way more than football, but working more like a youth enrichment program to broaden the horizons of Chicago’s Youth in a mission to eliminate the violence.

Great to hear a Hip Hop Legend like Snoop showing what a BOSS looks like by taking matters into his own hands. Each one teach one, lead by example.

We ran into the Bar-Tendaz, and they made it clear that there are no gym memberships necessary to keep your body tight.
The Front Runners of the Bar/ Body Weight Work Out movement have fitness enthusiasts & novice’s from around the world eager to learn & be a part of the Bar-Tendaz movement. They navigate the bars like gymnasts & exude strength & power that even gladiators couldn’t replicate. I’m usually eager to challenge anyone’s fitness flow, but i humbly watched & learned as we got a peak at their ‘warm-up.’
Check out the Video!
