Snoop Dogg Joins the War on Cybercrime

Not one to be a n00b, Snoop Dogg wants to get the point across that cyber crime isn’t… hip? cool? dope? fly? What category does Snoopy snoop fit in anyway?

In a somewhat untraditional partnership, Snoop Dogg and Symantec’s Norton want you to show off your lyrical skills on the subject of cybercrime and enter the “Hack is Wack” cybercrime rap contest.

The contest, which runs through Sept. 30, 2010, asks participants to create and upload a two-minute rap video at www.HackIsWack.com.

Snoop is going make the initial call for entries through his Facebook account, Twitter and YouTube page.

If you have the skills and bust out the phattest rap, you’ll receive round trip airfare for two to Los Angeles along with two days and two nights hotel stay to meet with Snoop’s management and learn more about his business. You’ll also get two tickets to a Snoop Dogg concert and a new laptop pimped out with Norton Internet Security 2011.

The winner, to be announced on Oct. 20, 2010, will be selected based on overall creativity, rapping and performing skills, and delivery of a compelling anti-cybercrime message.

As this is with an anti-virus company, it’s probably more talking about hacking etc rather than piracy but it should be fun to see what the winner comes up with. My favourite entry so far:
That Norton. It’s gonna be a #1 hit! hahah.

OK EDIT: my new favourite; Blocka Blocka

Anyway, head on over to the Hack Is Wack website to enter or watch the other entries.
