Former pimp Snoop Dogg gives advice to Elliot Spitzer

Snoop Dogg was on “The View” this morning to promote his new reality show “Father Hood” on E! and he charmed every woman on that panel.

He talked about his new CD, Ego Trippin, in which he sings and mixes genres such as R&B and even country.

Barbara Walters mentioned that Snoop is no longer doing only gangster rap, and that he’s matured. She said “no more gangs, no more pot,” and he said “I didn’t say that!” She asked what vices he’s given up since becoming a responsible dad. Snoop said he doesn’t drink, but that he has a medical condition he didn’t specify and that he needs medical marijuana. Joy mentioned glaucoma and Snoop scrunched up his eyes and said “I can’t see that good!”

Barbara pressed “What you’re saying it’s only medical marijuana.”
Snoop: “Only medical, no street weed… I have a license and everything”

They show a clip of Snoop doing yoga on his reality show and Joy says “he’s stoned, that’s why he’s lying like that.”

Snoop said that every strong man has a strong woman and that his wife runs the house and takes care of everything.

Joy Behar then brought up the fact that Snoop is a former pimp and asked him for advice for governor Spitzer.

Snoop said “It’s too late for advice now. If he’d seen me before… it would have been real discrete and would not have exposed his game. He would still be able to be client number nine.”

Whoopi then questioned Snoop about guys dating his daughter in the future that might be like he was in the past and he said “I can’t fix what I’ve done in the past, all I can do is be better today.”

Snoop talked about his youth football league and also confirmed that he’ll be a guest on the soap opera “One Life to Live,” and said he got hooked on soaps when he was young and got suspended from school a lot. According to the Miami Herald, his episodes will air May 8 and 9.

Snoop mentioned his clothing lines for women, men, and dogs, and said he’s just trying to give everyone some of that Snoop Kool aid.

Here’s the full interview with Snoop. Why do I have a crush on this guy?

Here’s the short clip where he gives advice to Spitzer.

And his performance:

Snoop is shown performing on 2/28/08, thanks to PRPhotos. Thanks so much to Redlasso for these clips.

    Do the spliffs come with little Red Crosses or little pharmacy symbols with the Aesculus staff and snakes on them?

  2. geronimo says:

    “medical marijuana”

    That’s what I call mine too. That, and magical marijuana. Although to be fair to him, it does have a number of tried and tested medical applications – MS, arthritis…

  3. Toubrouk says:

    A gangster is giving the governor tips about an impending charge?

    Damn, either America fell way down the sleaze barrel or Snoppy’s ego is really trippin’.

  4. MissMara says:

    LOL CB, I’m with you! I have a total crush on him, fo’ shizzle!

  5. Phil McCracken says:

    Does that mean I can use Medical Methamphetamines too?

  6. CJ says:

    I love Snoop and his show. He really seems to care about what kind of a person his kids will grow up to be.

    So what he smokes weed?

    I don’t think it’s a big deal, nor do I think it’s a ‘Gateway drug’.

  7. headache says:

    Alcohol is the gateway to drug. More stupid behaviour is attributed to alcohol consumption than pot and when is the last time you met a violent pothead?

    If alcohol is legal, pot should be too.

  8. CJ says:

    Richt on, headache!

  9. Bernie says:

    I heart Snoop.

  10. MaiGirl says:

    I agree, headache. I don’t indulge anymore, but that’s mostly because I no longer know anyone who’s selling!

    I’m afraid Snoop makes my skin crawl. I don’t believe his reformation; it’s probably just like Madonna’s “spirituality.”

  11. Bodhi says:

    Does that mean I can use Medical Methamphetamines too?

    Yes, its called Adderall.

    I love Snoop. (Snoop, Snoop a Loop). He cracks me up! I think he just grew up. He knows his kids need a dad & he knows what he needs to do. Having kids really does change everything. It should anyway.

    Hmmm ganja :drool:

  12. Gaby says:

    Man, I just love this guy, I’m not really sure why but I do. He’s just too cool.

  13. headache says:

    I have never smoked pot. It’s just that you can’t tell me it’s more dangerous than alcohol.

  14. chamalla says:

    I’m a sucker for a charming man, and Snoop could charm the feathers off of Big Bird. *joins tawdry Snoop-crushin’ girls*

    Sugar is the gateway drug, imho, with caffeine, alcohol and nicotine running in second. Heck, our whole culture is a gateway drug. Compared to the As Seen On TV diet pills that make you shit yourself, the pecker pills that make you go blind/have four hour hard-ons and the restless leg pills that give you uncontrollable sexual urges, weed seems pretty tame.

  15. Rreedy says:

    Like a lot of us, Snoop as matured. I enjoyed watching him and I am 57 yrs old!!! He was polite and lovely to the hosts of “The View”.
    Good luck to him.

  16. mollination says:

    Chamalla, do restless leg pills really do that? Hmm…. 🙂

    Right on with the adderall comment Bodhi, I was just about to go there.

    Marijuana never wanted to make me try anything else. You know what did though? The god damn OPIATES that my doctor prescribed me when I was an impressionable 16 years old. Our goverment is so damn backwards.

    I love snoop too. He’s suprisingly respectful, charming, witty, and intelligent. He’s the godfather of rap and he doesn’t have to say so like Diddy does relentlessly.

  17. mollination says:

    Okay the way I phrased that sentence about marijuana sounded wrong. I meant “Marijuana never made me want to try anything else”
    not

    “Marijuana never wanted to make me try anything else”

    weed has its own thoughts and motives apparently! 🙂

    Nice post! GA is also my biggest earning. However, it’s not a much.

  19. I just added you to my Google News Reader. Keep up the good work. Look forward to reading more from you in the future.

  20. Oh dogs are so stunning, i wish i could have my very family members of dogs. It would make my evening each day to see them have fun.
