seriously WTF? hip hop in ROCK BAND? screw MTV and their shit!

Premiering on Tuesday, February 17th at 9pm ET/PT on MTV, Snoop Dogg will host “Dogg After Dark,” a new jam packed weekly variety talk show from Los Angeles hotspot Kress on Hollywood Boulevard. “Dogg After Dark” will bring his Doggystyle swagger to the airwaves with raw interviews with A-list celebrities and musicians, hilarious sketch-comedy segments and musical performances from the hottest artists. The show will air every Tuesday night for seven weeks and feature Snoop’s own in-house band, the “Snoopadelics.”

“When Van Toffler and I sat down Boss to Boss, a global quintuple threat takeover was masterminded. As the world of entertainment keeps changing, we felt it was the right time to let Snoop Dogg back on MTV so we could continue to run thangs with music, movies, DVDs and bring Hip-Hop to Rock Band." said Snoop Dogg. "So screw ya wigz on tight and tune in on Tuesday nights for the first step to the next level of Snoop D-O double G. Dogg after Dark is the only nightclub tv show hosted by you know who. So take a journey with me through the mind, body, soul and musical mindstate of the most prolific, authentic game spitter. And tha sh*t is funny, so show me da money!”

"Snoop has been a mainstay across MTV screens for over a decade by pushing the boundaries of hip-hop with his signature antics, incredible catalogue of music, legendary videos, larger than life personality and even a little controversy," said Van Toffler, President, MTV Networks Music / Films / Logo Groups. "I can't even begin to imagine MTV, my tumultuous career and several raging ulcers without the Dogg being such a big part of our history. He is an undeniable international superstar whose talent and work transcend music, tv and film and we look forward to launching this new multidimensional partnership with the Doggfather."

“From iconic VMA performances to DoggyFizzle Televizzle and everything imaginable in between, MTV has always been a home for Snoop's music and comedic expressions and will continue to be that through this exciting new partnership,” said Amy Doyle, Executive Vice President of Music and Talent for MTV.

The Grammy-Award nominated rapper’s unprecedented deal with MTV will let loose Snoop Dogg’s upcoming, new album, Malice In Wonderland, with global distribution, marketing and promotion. Featuring some seemingly unlikely musical guests, the album will feature tracks by Dr Dre, Pharrell and Lalo Shifrin, is scheduled to be released later this year. In addition, songs from Snoop Dogg’s impressive catalogue of hits will be released on MTV’s hot-selling Rock Band® music video game platform.

“Dogg After Dark” is Executive Produced by Snoop Dogg. Tony DiBari, Tim Healy and Karen Frank are Executive Producers for MTV. Matt Parillo is Executive in Charge of Production. Leslie Greif and Adam Freeman of the Greif Company are Executive Producers. Ted Chung and Constance Schwartz of Snoopadelic Pictures are Executive Producers.

I hope they come to your house, shove your face up against the television screen, put a shotgun to the back of your head and threaten you to download the songs or die.

I don't like a negative sounding Rock Band thread on my gaf. Especially when it is good news. More music = more better. This did not need its own thread, in the official thread already.

More music doesn't always = more better. See; High School Musical rip offs, Foo Fighters.

I hate hip hop as well, but I want more diverse music in Rock Band as well, so this is a good thing. Now more traditional folk music and we're set.

The black man everyone at Activision can agree on
I'd like to see some old school R&B in there as well... and I'm assuming ram's post is a joke (though I knew exactly what he was bitching about when I saw the thread title).

IF it isn't.... sad.

Here's the GREAT thing about DLC..YOU DONT HAVE TO BUY IT!

So how do you feel about Run DMC being in the ROCK HALL?

Can we count this thread as a total backfire yet?

I agree with your premise but not this particular case. Rock Band/GH have always sucked because they limit you to predefined one-size-fits-none licensed music. it's too bad the best thing about audiosurf (that you can play what you want to hear and not what some marketing board thinks you want to hear) will never happen to the big music games.

You're acting as if they are forcing you to download and play snoop songs over and over again. Don't download them if you don't like them. I like the fact they are adding to the diversity of songs.

There's over 500 songs to dl now. Nick has like 5 songs, right? That's 1 percent of the total of all dlc and there's even less hip hop. Oh, GAF.

There's two beastie boys tracks and a track from MC Frontalot in Rock Band already. Also, genre diversity isn't a bad thing. I didn't bitch when the country pack came out and made a thread about it saying Rock Band was going down the drain.
