During a recent visit to Usmagazine.com’s NYC headquarters, Snoop rapped with Us about his new show (which premieres this Sunday), what it was like playing soccer with Becks, and how he juggles his hip-hop career and family life.
Us: E! is touting your family as including your “surprisingly unaffected” children. Are you worried that they’ll become divas with all the cameras around?
SD: Well, they might, but I just feel like they’re kids. [Viewers] get a chance to see kids who have a celebrity as a father just dealing with life and them becoming celebrities as well, because that’s what the camera brings. Now they have cameras in front of them, so I’m pretty sure their lifestyles will change, but for the most part my sons are not affected. My daughter really loves me in front of the camera.
Us: You coach your youngest son’s football team and have developed a related charity, right?
SD: We won our Super Bowl game last Sunday! I got 32 kids on my team – the Pomona Steelers - and the Snoop Youth Football League has 2,500 kids, 2,000 football players and 500 cheerleaders.
Us: In the show’s second episode, David Beckham helps teach you and your boys the “other football.”
SD: Yeah! He’s gonna show the fellas how to expand and do something outside the box. We’re so used to American sports - baseball, basketball, football - I wanted my kids to see something other than that: Futbol!
Us: So, David’s a cool guy?
SD: Super cool. That’s my homeboy!
Us: Did he bring his own boys with him?
SD: He brought the little one, Cruz.
Us: With so many other celebrity families on reality shows, how do “The Doggs” fit in?
SD: This ain’t the Huxtables! We’re a black family with money, but we don’t do it like that.
Us: What do you think viewers will enjoy most?
SD: The camaraderie between me, my kids and my wife. It ain’t made up. A lot of times you can see these TV shows and you can just see the fakeness.
Us: What’s more difficult: raising a family or making hit records?
SD: Probably raising my family. Making hit records is easy. That’s my number one passion in life. I just find ways to put it on pause and do other things to accommodate my music career, so when I do come back and make music it’s an event.
Catch the premiere of Snoop Dogg’s Father Hood on Sunday, Dec. 9 at 10:30 p.m. on E!
