Snoop Dogg's
Father Hood. Premieres Sunday @10:30/9:30c
As a mega-successful recording artist, producer and actor, Snoop
Dogg has carved out a permanent place in pop culture and musical
history as hip hop's ultimate wordsmith and most compelling
superstar. However, there is much more to the Dogg Father than
meets the eye there is a side to Snoop that no one has ever seen
before: fatherhood. Beneath that smooth exterior, he is a family
man facing the challenges of raising three lively kids, balancing a
multi-faceted career, and continuing his role as an ardent advocate
of sometimes controversial community causes.
In this hilarious and heartwarming new reality series, E! takes
viewers inside the everyday life of Calvin Broadus to reveal what
really makes Snoop Dogg tick.
The Snoop we see in all of the sexy music videos is not the one
we find at home with his family. Most people have no idea that he's
married to his high school sweetheart, Shante, aka Boss Lady. And
Shante is the Boss Lady for a reason she is a strong-willed
matriarch and takes pride in her role as the glue that keeps it all
together. She manages the business of all things family as Snoop
continues to forge a unique career path with eight Platinum-selling
albums under his belt, along with numerous films, books, and even
clothing that continue to lure fans.
Snoop and Shante have spent the last 13 years raising their
three lovable children: Corde, Cordell, and daughter Cori, all of
whom have undeniably inherited their parents' colorful spirit and
charm while still being everyday kids dealing with the same issues
all tweens and teens face today and of course finding their way
into some healthy and expected mischief. Then there's Anthony, the
son of Snoop's hair-braider, Tasha. Anthony showed up at Snoop's
house one day 10 years ago and never left. He's been adopted and
welcomed by the family, who now refer to this hilarious, animated
20 year old as their oldest son.
Snoop's extended family is filled with a colorful cast of
characters, including Uncle June Bugg, a smooth-talking,
Hennessey-drinking, professional dancer and romancer; or Uncle Reo,
the leopard-print leather pantsuit wearing chef of the family;
Kevin, the white hip-hop head and one of Snoop's many wranglers and
managers; or Big Keyes, one of three bodyguards bigger than a
grizzly bear with the heart of a teddy bear and the voice of Mickey
Mouse. This clan is vibrant, animated and always united.
Whether he is chasing after the kids to clean the house, taking
yoga classes in a quest to relieve stress, figuring out how to talk
to his oldest son about dating while on the set of his latest music
video, or on a mission to find some decent chicken wings in
Germany, Snoop's life is never dull as he strives for balance
between family and career. His magnetic sense of humor is always
sure to entertain, as he often breaks the fourth wall and talks
directly to the viewer.
This lovable family always promises to serve up their fair share
of calamity: with Cordell's plots to hustle cash, Cord's life as a
modern teenager, Cori's dreams of becoming a superstar, and
Anthony's haphazard and hysterical attempts to keep order between
all of them. You never know what's going to go down in a day in the
life of this clan some days you wake up and jump on private jet,
and other days you gotta buckle down and do your homework. For the
first time, you get a ringside seat as Snoop pursues his version of
the American Dream. You'll laugh, you'll be touched, and then
you'll chill...till the next episode.
