Snoop Doggy Dickens?
crablin by Colin Roberts April 24th, 2006

The Doggfather is penning a novel.

Giant of US hip-hop and all-round gang-star, Snoop Dogg is in the middle of writing a book.

Titled 'Love Don't Live Here No More', the D-O-double-G has stated this will be the first in a line of 'street-lit' books, this one detailing a California man's life in the world of hip-hop.

Publisher Atria Books told The Book Standard, "Snoop, by nature of what he does, is a storyteller. Books speak more to a female audience than does his music, so these novels give him an opportunity to show, particularly his female fans, another side."

So rap is for men and books are for girls? Well, excuse me while I go and give my books away and buy the new Necro LP then.
