Rumor: Snoop Dogg tracks coming to Rock Band Sept. 7 [update]
49
Rock Band Aide, the premier fan site for Harmonix's soon-to-be-expanded rhythm game, reportedly uncovered a thrilling pop-up advertisement while watching MTV sister station Palladia -- one which revealed a September 7 release date for the eight-song Snoop Dogg track pack announced for Rock Band a year and a half ago. A year and a half! Why, that was long before the December release of Mr. Dogg's chart-topping "Malice N Wonderland." How the times have changed!
We certainly hope the advertisement turns out to be accurate, as we're starting to feel a little impatient for the playable raps of the Doggfather. Then again, when the tracks were first announced, Snoop Dogg was still legally banned from entering the UK, a decision which was only overturned this past March. We would have felt terrible if this Dogg embargo had somehow kept our overseas friends from getting their hands on the tracks.
Update: The latest Major Nelson schedule update has confirmed that the eight-song Snoop Dogg pack will indeed arrive on XBLA on September 7. We'll let you know the second we find out what songs will be included.
[Thanks, Dirtybeefz!]

If smoking weed everyday while sipping gin & juice is a rough, I want to hear what your definition of a good life is...

Snoop Dogg sucks now. He hasn't done anything good since Doggystyle.

I think it would've been better to put a Jay-Z Lincoln Park song in like 99 Problems/One Step Closer would be perfect rap song for RockBand/ Guitar Hero...

I see what you did there...
You're talking about how you used 'but' instead of 'buy' right?

He's not looking at the screen, has one hand on the controller (the other is... somewhere else), and looks high, yet seems to be causing the other girl a bunch of trouble in the game they're playing. HE'S GOOD!

I'm curious to know what songs would even fit the "Rock Band" mold when it comes to Snoop Dogg's work.
I love hip-hop, rap, and even the dance friendly stuff, but I don't see this quite fitting, especially considering his best stuff was earlier in his career and was ladened with profanity.
