Every week on the new E! series Father Hood, Snoop Dogg takes you into the mundane shiznit of being both a family man and a pottymouthed hip-hop icon. Rock Daily’s Rock Reality Recaps is there:
Thirty Minutes in Three Sentences: Snoop introduces America to the Dogg family: his three kids and wife Shante, a.k.a. Boss Lady. Stressed from life as the most laid-back hip-hop icon in the world, Snoop searches for some non-herbal relaxation through yoga and acupuncture, but finds out that cleaning is more therapeutic. One big highlight: the amazing opening-credit theme song (”This ain’t the Huxtables but we livin’ comfortable/And I don’t make my kids eat vegetables.”) All in all, his finest performance since The Wash.
Kin and Juice: The family maid adds to Snoop’s problems by quitting because of the messy kids. Snoop beats his son in a push-up contest. The Boss Lady menaces with death stares and some open-ended threats (”Eat another cheerio and see what happens”). As for the doghouse, we can only hope the signs and bumper stickers shown in the opening credits (”Keep your dogg off the grass” and “My kid is the shiznit”) are for real.
It’s a Doggy Dogg world: The Dogg is stressed out from his new record, his youth football team and “hip-hop police squeezing on rappers,” so he and his double Snoop-sized bodyguard (”big security with a little voice”) try out yoga. When he gets to the yoga studio (”Yoga? I don’t eat yoga”), Snoop spends more time checking out the instructor’s poses than working on his own, telling her he had something else to open her hips up, and referring to his mountain of a bodyguard as a “gluteus maximus maximum maximus.”
Snoopism of the Day: “Church on the move.” Which apparently does not mean “a church got wheels and is running away,” but is the cue for a group of people at a club to move on to the next location.
