Snoop Does A Soap Opera

Never one to be held down by genre or public opinion, multi-platinum rapper and psychotropic enthusiast Snoop Dogg has signed a deal with ABC to lend a little urban flair to the soap opera One Life To Live. The father of many and dealer to some will record a new version of the show’s theme song, as well as act in two episodes.

Speaking about the daytime entertainment gig, Snoop told Billboard, “I've been a fan of `One Life to Live' since I was a baby. My momma always had it on the tube in the crib growing up.” Well played, mama Snoop Dogg. Well played. The two cameos will take place on May 8th and 9th and feature the former Girls Gone Wild spokesman performing at a fictional late night hangout called Ultra Violet Club. Sounds like a classy place to bring the kids.

Snoop will reportedly play two songs off his new album Ego Trippin’, as well as banter with cast members in several scenes. You might be a little skeptical about the rapper’s acting, but all of us who’ve seen Soul Plane know he’s more than capable of doing a slightly above average job.
