• Snoop Dogg, not satisfied with Father Hood and an upcoming animated series, will guest star on the long-running soap opera One Life to Live. The Doggfather will act in a few scenes and perform two tracks from his new album Ego Trippin’ at the fictitious Ultra Violet club, as well as remix the show’s opening theme.
• Eliot Spitzer’s favorite prostitute “Kristen” (neé Ashley Alexandre Dupré) is receiving an increasing amount of national radio airplay for her song “What We Want” in the days following the scandal.
• A diamond-encrusted iPod shuffle went on the auction block last night at a charity event in London. Comprised of 430 diamonds and pink and white gold, the iDiamond is expected to fetch about $40,000.
• The music industry is “seriously considering” proposing a bill that would force ISPs to pay a file sharing surcharge after failing to curb illegal downloaders by suing the downloaders themselves.

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 potty-mouthed hip-hop icon. Here’s our tenth Rock Reality Recap:

Thirty Minutes in Three Sentences: Snoop gives his management team two days to set up a surprise vow renewal for him and his Boss Lady. Shante believes the wedding is for Snoop’s “uncle” Charlie Wilson (of the Gap band — he’s Snoop’s uncle “not by blood but by love”), but is pleasantly surprised into saying “I do” to her hubby all over again.

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 potty-mouthed hip-hop icon. Here’s our ninth Rock Reality Recap:

Thirty Minutes in Two Sentences: Snoop spends all-nighters in the studio finishing up his ninth album, Ego Trippin’, in addition to traveling to New York and Buenos Aires for big performances. Feeling neglected, Snoop’s wife boss lady starts her own clothing line named after her three children. (more…)

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 potty-mouthed hip-hop icon. Here’s our eighth Rock Reality Recap:

Thirty Minutes in Three Sentences: After his sons refuse to open the door for their tutor because they are deep in a Guitar Hero match, Snoop brings them back to Long Beach to show them how good they have it compared to his childhood. In an effort to make his oldest son the first family member to go to college, Snoop sticks the boys with the vice principal for a motivational speech about staying in school while Snoop takes a walk through his old LBC stomping ground. (more…)

For anyone longing for the days when low-fi Soul Train space funk ruled the airwaves, Snoop Dogg’s “Sensual Seduction” provided a welcome salve. While Snoop’s ninth album Ego Trippin’ isn’t a solid hour of vocoder-aided sex jams, as Rock Daily learned in an exclusive listening session, it’s something much more. Clearly run down by the traditional hip-hop tropes and traditions, Snoop has made Trippin’ into a veritable buffet of twentieth century radio goodness, throwing back to scenes with which he’s never been involved. In between Roger Troutman-esque funk bangers like “Snoop Dogg Is Out” and “Life of the Party” are forays into the Dirty South (”Ridin’ in My Chevy”), celestial gospel (”Can’t Say Goodbye”) and at least one song that sounds like a B-side from Prince’s 1999 (”Cool”). Perhaps most impressively, there’s a phenomenal country-rap tune called “Johnny Cash” (a collaboration with Everlast) whose chorus (”Get my money/Buy my medicine”) channels rail-riding bluesmen. Produced by Snoop in collaboration with Teddy Riley and DJ Quik (a collective they refer to as “QDT”), Ego Trippin’ will reveal all sides of Snoop Dogg: the father, the party animal, the savvy industry veteran and the OG.
