Snoop Dogg on What Viewers Will Learn About Him on The Voice
Many fans of The Voice were excited to learn that Snoop Dogg would be a coach next season. Others, though, worry that he only knows about hip-hop and rappers usually don’t audition for the singing competition show. However, that isn’t true. His taste in music is as eclectic as the list of his recent public appearances.
“If you know anything about me, you know that I love all forms of music,” Snoop said. “So, this is a great opportunity for me to show that I really understand music and be a real coach and to really give direction to some of these artists that could be today’s next big thing,” he added. The “Murder Was the Case” rapper knows all about being a coach. After all, he co-owned the Snoop Youth Football League and coached the team Snoop’s Steelers.
He and Fallon went over the other coaches. Snoop noted that he knows both Buble and Stefani. Then, Fallon mentioned McEntire. “That’s the queen,” the future coach said. “I’m Snoop Dogg, I respect the queen. All hail the queen,” he added.
Fallon then mentioned that Snoop Dogg enjoys country music. He replied, “I love all forms of music. That’s what people are going to learn about me. That’s why I feel like people attract to me, I’m not one-sided. I’m not just for you, I’m for everybody. I’m the people’s champ.”
