Snoop goes all Big Mon on us?

Snoop Dogg goes bluegrass?The entertainment press is buzzing this morning with a quote from rap and reality TV star Snoop Dogg, who says he intends to write and record a bluegrass album.

Imagine the crossover potential. Maybe a reality show where Snoop desperately tries to communicate in the studio with bluegrass session players?

On numerous celebrity news sites, the story is reported this way…

He tells OK! magazine, “I went to the CMT Music Awards and I got into the spirit of wanting to do something different!

I’ve been smoking so much green grass I wanted to do a bluegrass album.”

A quick search on the OK! site turned up no results to match this story.

Hmmmm….. Is somebody pulling our leg?

No, it’s true! Or at least the current issue of the magazine (OK! June 23) is reporting just that. It would be great for the music even if it’s half as brilliant as the GANGSTAGRASS project you guys wrote about here a few weeks ago…
