Singer Dionne Warwick was so fed up with the misogynistic lyrics of rap icons Snoop Dogg and Tupac Shakur that she invited them and the imposing Death Row Records co-founder Suge Knight to her house for an education.

As Snoop recalled in CNN s documentary Dionne Warwick: Dont Make Me Over, she told them to arrive at 7 a.m., per CNN . He said they were so scared that they got there eight minutes early.

Warwick, he said, demanded they call her a bitch to see how it made them feel.

You guys are all going to grow up, Warwick said, according to Snoops retelling. Youre going to have families. Youre going to have children. Youre going to have little girls, and one day that little girl is going to look at you and say, Daddy, did you really say that? Is that really you? What are you going to say?

Both Snoop and Tupac were regularly using terms like bitch and ho in their songs at the time. Warwick said in the documentary that these kids are expressing themselves, which is their right, but there was a proper way to do it.

Snoop said he took it to heart.

She was checking me at a time when I thought I couldnt be checked, he said in the documentary. We were the most gangsta as you could be, but that day at Dionne Warwicks house, I believe we got out-gangstered that day.
