I always figured at some point of stardom these celebrity gangsters become honorary crips. Like you don't have to do anything but since your famous and have money you can rock the title, kinda like how stupid actors get honorary college degrees all the time, but everyone knows they didn't actually graduate from college, just a stupid title that makes everyone feel good, like yeah man Keanu Reeves, PHD at Harvard Law or Martin Lawrence Masters at DeVry University lol same deal here, sure Snoop is a "crip".
