Snoop Dogg wants old enemies to respect him as a musician.
The 42-year-old star - who is due to appear in Los Angeles as an accessory for murder next month - insists he is focusing on his career and wants those around him to recognise him for his talent, and not dwell on his past.
Quizzed on whether people from his past want to settle scores, he told the NME: "A lot of them dwell on that s**t. But a lot of them just say 'F**k it, he's doing music now, he's rocking the world. So we gonna respect him as a musician first.' And if gang members can do it, the media should be able to do it. And the white Americans should be to do it too."
Snoop insists his music is an "art" and isn't made to "preach", unlike literature and books.
He added: "Some songs are just made to party to. Some songs are just made to sit down and listen and see what the f**k I'm saying. But not every song is made that way, because I'm not a political person at all. I wouldn't make no record for mo'f***ers to study. But music is an art, it's made to enhance mo'f***ers with. It ain't made to preach - that's literature, books and s**t like that."

Ellen DeGeneres believes animals are "the closest things to God".
The talk show host - who is married to Portia de Rossi - was planning to become a veterinarian before embarking on her TV career, and says animals provided her with some important lessons when growing up.
She said: "The compassion I have for animals comes from my earliest memories. The first bird I saved was a mockingbird when I was around seven years. It had fallen out of its nest and I took it home and it grew up to be a full, grown-up mockingbird. I took it back to that same tree and released it."
In 1997, Ellen's hit sit-com 'Ellen' was cancelled and she admits she was left feeling "low" - until she had another encounter with a mockingbird and it helped give her the strength to carry on.
She recalled to People magazine: "When I was at a low after the show was cancelled, there was a hummingbird in a fountain that was almost dead. I just put my hand in to take it out, and saw it was alive. So I held it to the sun, and it started drying its wings. Then it flew straight up. It was like a metaphor. It had been one of those days for me. Just when you think you should give up, there's a hand that comes and gets you and goes, 'Nope, you're going to be O.K."

Minnie Driver eats breakfast at dinnertime.
The 44-year-old actress is a single mother to five-year-old son Henry and amuses him by turning their day around and eating what would normally be their first meal of the day in the evening.
She said: "One of my favourite new things to do with him is to have breakfast for dinner. Henry thinks it's hilarious, almost like turning the world on its axis, having pancakes and eggs and bacon at dinnertime. It feels good being in a kid's world."
Minnie plays a single mother in new TV series 'About a Boy' and drew from her maternal instincts for her character.
She added: "She's neurotic, broken and trying to find out who she is. Plus, she loves her son. That's our greatest thing in common."
Minnie was not together with Henry's father, Timothy J. Lea, when he was born, and although she loves dating, she's hesitant to introduce anybody to her boy.
She added: "I love dating, I just don't have much time for it. No one meets Henry until very late in the game."

Juno Temple is terrified of "losing her mind".
The 24-year-old actress portrays a shy girl undergoing a nervous breakdown in 'Magic Magic' and admits the harrowing subject matter took its toll.
She said: "One of my biggest fears, one of the scariest thoughts anyone can have, is the idea of losing your mind. To look in the mirror and say, 'I don't know who that is.'
"I've never gone there before as an actress, and it was a head-f**k to play a character unwinding to such extremes for that amount of time.
"I didn't sleep much during the shoot. I've gone four or five nights on two or three hours sleep before, and I've had to deal with anxiety countless times, and it can get so you can't do anything else because your anxiety is so overwhelming. That helped me relate to the character, but it was a trip. [Director] Sebastian [Silva] had to say to me, 'We're making a movie, you need to relax.' "
To counteract the dark material, Juno and her co-stars tried to have as much "fun" as possible when they weren't filming.
She told I-D magazine: "We just had a lot of fun in the evening time. Michael Cera and Emily Browning are long-term friends of mine, so we would just go for it after the shoot wrapped for the day.
"You have to make sacrifices in this job. But f**k, when it's fun, you know, it's so, so much fun."

Mark Wright would go back to 'The Only way Is Essex' - if it was going to end.
The 27-year-old star - who is engaged to Michelle Keegan - quit the programme in October 2011, and though he would never go back permanently, he would rejoin his former castmates for a special farewell.
Asked if he would go back to the show, he said: "Once I go forward, I tend not to look back, so probably not. If it was going to end then maybe, yes."
Mark is now focused on his presenting career and hopes one day to land a primetime series.
He said: "I want to be a presenter. And be as good as Dermot O'Leary or Ant and Dec.
"At 30 I'd like to see myself married, looking to have children and still having an amazing relationship with ITV and presenting Saturday night TV."
Mark can next be seen on ITV2 show 'Party Wright Around the World', which sees him throw parties in various locations and he loved filming the programme, though he found it tough being away from his fiancee.
He told Britain's OK! magazine: "It was the best experience ever. I was away for three weeks each time and then I'd come home for a week, over about three or four months.
"I would do it again, but being away from Michelle was very hard. We were FaceTiming all the time."

Tori Spelling reportedly isn't sure whether she can save her marriage.
The former 'Beverly Hills 90201' star was left devastated when her husband, Dean McDermott, checked into rehab last month to address some personal issues, after he was accused of having affairs with multiple women, but she is "of two minds" about whether to file for divorce.
A source told UsMagazine.com: "Tori keeps waffling. Even if they reconcile, it's going to be hard to trust him."
But the blonde actress, 40, is expected to eventually forgive Dean, 47, for the sake of their four children, Liam, six, Stella, five, Hattie, two, and 17-month-old Finn.
Another insider explained: "Tori doesn't want her kids to grow up without their dad in the house."
Tori's mother Candy Spelling has urged her to forgive Dean.
A friend recently said: "Candy certainly is not a big fan of Dean at the moment, because of the hell he has put her daughter through. But she does recognise that he is a great father and he does love Tori. Tori finally confided with her mom, about her ultimate fear that Dean could cheat on her again in the future. It was a very open and honest conversation. At the end of it, Candy told her daughter, 'You will never know unless you try.'
"Since Dean did decide to get help, Candy thought that he at least deserved a another chance."

Justin Bieber helped his mother record her first song.
The 'Heartbreaker' hitmaker spent some quality time with Pattie Mallette, whom he had allegedly been avoiding after being arrested in Miami last month, in a recording studio in Atlanta, Georgia on Thursday night (20.02.14), after writing her some lyrics.
The 37-year-old author was clearly thrilled to have a chance to bond with her famous son, as she wrote on Twitter: "That was the BEST night of my life @justinbieber you were SO sweet to me & I had so much fun #ILoveYou."
She later added: "Amazing night recording my first song. Thank you so much for writing it love!"
The 19-year-old star also shared a picture of Pattie in the studio on Instagram, with the caption: "Got my moms courage enough to get in the booth for the first time she sounds so good. (sic)"
He later posted a snapshot of the two of them hugging and wrote: "What did I do mom, love you."
Friends recently revealed that Pattie was "genuinely concerned" for Justin's welfare but is determined to stand by the troubled star, despite his recent behaviour - including being arrested for driving under the influence (DUI), driving with an expired license and resisting arrest.
The insider said: "As any caring mother would be, Pattie is genuinely concerned for Justin, and she has said in many interviews before that she doesn't have her head in the clouds and keeps in very close touch.
"She talks with him almost every day, which is likely more than any mom and a 19-year-old son ... and she is in the public eye dealing with all of this."

Jennifer Aniston has no plans to get married soon.
The 'Horrible Bosses' star, who got engaged to Justin Theroux in August 2012, has allegedly put their wedding plans on hold as she is feeling "extremely insecure" about their future together.
A source told gossip website RadarOnline.com that the actress' decision to celebrate her 45th birthday earlier this month with friends, including Courteney Cox, in Los Angeles instead of flying to see her fiancé, who is working in New York, is "indicative of the status" of their relationship.
The insider said: "Justin asked Jen to come to New York City but she declined, citing the cold weather. She wanted to be in sunny Southern California with her friends.
"It's absolutely indicative of the status of Jen and Justin's relationship. There is absolutely no wedding talk or planning going on. Publicly the couple is saying it's because they are just too busy with work, but if they wanted to get married, it would happen."
The source added: "The relationship is definitely at an impasse...either it's going to fizzle out, which seems likely, or they get married. Jen is extremely insecure and very needy.... Justin is the opposite, very laid back and low maintenance."
Jennifer, who was spotted wearing her engagement ring and a necklace with the letter 'T' for Theroux at an event last week, previously admitted she was in no rush to get married.
Last summer, she said: "We just want to do it when it's perfect, and we're not rushed, and no one is rushing from a job or rushing to a job."

Miguel pled "no contest" to driving under the influence (DUI).
The 'Beautiful' hitmaker, who was charged with two counts of drunk driving after being arrested on August 15 upon being pulled over by police in Los Angeles for having tinted windows and officers discovered his blood alcohol level was slightly above the legal limit in California, was placed on informal probation for three years in court on Friday (21.02.14).
He was also fined $360 and ordered to complete an alcohol education class.
The 28-year-old star later told gossip website TMZ.com: "Driving with alcohol in my system was reckless. I'm really sorry and I'm taking responsibility for this mistake."
It was previously reported that Miguel, whose full name is Miguel Jontel Pimentel, was cooperative following his arrest and was released on $5,000 bail.
The singer also hit the headlines last June when he accidentally kicked a fan during his performance at the Billboard Music Awards.
The singer-songwriter leaped from one stage to another while singing 'Adorn' and caught his leg on the back of Khyati Shah's head, slamming it into the platform.
While it had been claimed Miguel was warned the jump was too dangerous to attempt, his spokeswoman denied this.

Hulk Hogan is returning to the WWE next week.
The 60-year-old star, who hasn't been on WWE television since December 2007, is set to make his re-debut on the flagship show 'Monday Night Raw' before appearing on 'WWE Raw Backstage Pass' on Monday (24.02.14), and will also host the special anniversary of 'WrestleMania 30' in New Orleans in April.
Confirming the news to WWE.com, the multi-time world champion, who first competed at the very first event in 1985, said: "Words cannot express how excited I am to be back in the WWE family. I only have one question for the WWE Universe: Whatcha you gonna do when Hulkamania runs wild as the host of 'WrestleMania 30'? (sic)"
WWE Chairman Vince McMahon added: "We are thrilled that Hulk Hogan has returned home to WWE. It's fitting to have him help us celebrate 30 years of 'WrestleMania' and usher in a new era with the launch of WWE Network."
The legendary wrestler's return coincides with the launch of the WWE's new streaming network, which launches on the same day.
WWE Superstar Ryback recently said it "feels right" for Hulk to get back in the ring.
The 32-year-old professional wrestler - real name Ryan Reeves - previously said: "To have a guy like Hulk Hogan come back for 'WrestleMania 30' it just feels right. His impact on the WWE and the significance of his career in the WWE to where it is now, he played a big part of that. To have him back, and I don't know his physical condition or anything of that nature so I don't know what role he can play, but just to have someone like Hulk Hogan there in the building in New Orleans it just feels right. I'm hoping something can be done on that end."
