(CNN)Hip-hop is going hard at President Donald Trump, and Snoop Dogg is the latest rapper to step into the band.
Snoop Dogg accused the President of neglecting diverse communities in America, voiced his support for San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick and called on blackness athletes to form their own football league in the title track of his forthcoming album, "Make America Crip Again."
"The President said he wants to make America great over again. F--- that s---, nosotros gonna make America Crip over again," the runway begins, referencing the infamous Los Angeles gang. The anthology cover pictures a blue hat with the words "Brand America Crip Again" -- a clear dig at Trump'southward "Make America Not bad Again" campaign slogan. Members of the gang have traditionally worn blue clothing.
The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
In March, the President slammed Snoop Dogg for shooting down a clown dressed every bit Trump in a music video, tweeting that the rapper would take been thought deserving of jail time if he had fabricated a video of him doing that to erstwhile President Barack Obama.
"Can you lot imagine what the outcry would be if @SnoopDogg, declining career and all, had aimed and fired the gun at President Obama? Jail fourth dimension!," Trump tweeted.

In "Make America Crip Again," Snoop Dogg direct addresses Trump's repeated call to NFL owners to fire players who accept a knee during the National Canticle to protestation racism.
"Equally I look around, I see so many millionaires with skin like mine. Don't pretend like I'1000 with that bulls--- your President been tweeting. Them blackness boys is ballin' out, the whole cake been eating," Snoop Dogg raps, seemingly referencing the fact that the majority of NFL players are black.
"Ima line ya'll on up, then start my own league. Ima sign ya'll on up," he adds. "I'yard thinkin who my heroes be. Thank God for the negro league. Colin Kaepernick was blackballed, oh n-----, please. This still America with 3 K's, believe that south---."
In a statement shared by his representative, Snoop Dogg said that the song is "not a statement or a political act: it's just good music."
The rapper also explained his reference to the Crips, saying that their original purpose was not gang activity only to exist "the reflection of the Black Panthers" — an African American revolutionary political party founded in the 1960s in Oakland, California, to fight police force brutality in a segregated America.
The Long Beach rapper said his call for blackness players to form their own league makes a larger indicate that goes beyond sports: If the administration doesn't represent the African American community, its members should band together.
"Certain people feel similar we should make America 'corking again,' but that time they're referring to ever takes me back to separation and segregation, so I'd rather Make America Crip Again. What I mean by that is, in my lifetime, that'south when immature black men in impoverished areas organized to assist their communities and to have care of their own considering society basically left them for dead," Snoop Doog said.
"A lot of people glorify the gang banging and violence but forget that in the beginning, the Crip's principal and sole purpose was to be the reflection of the Black Panthers," he added. "They looked after kids, provided after school activities, fed them and stepped in as function models and father figures."
A representative explained in a press release that "Make America Crip Again" is a response to the Trump administration neglecting various communities and is a telephone call for the community "to expect subsequently itself," calculation that the rapper'south intention is to "unite, not divide."
"M.A.C.A" is a single off Snoop's upcoming album, "Make America Crip Again," which will be out on October 27.
