Snoop Dogg Loves True Blood

I’ve been getting e-mails lately from a marketing firm trying to push the third season of True Blood on HBO. I’ve never seen the show myself (is it any good?) but this latest tidbit was entertaining enough on its own to be worth sharing. Apparently Snoop Dogg is a big fan, so with the network’s blessing he recorded his own ode to Sookie Stackhouse, the show’s heroine. It’s pretty catchy.

I admit, I’ve got a soft spot for Snoop. I prefer West Coast hip hop to East Coast on the whole, and I like Snoop’s lazy flow. Plus, he’s a horror fan. If you haven’t seen Hood of Horror, you should–it’s a great tribute to EC comics and the horror anthologies of yesteryear. The best segment is “The Scumlord,” which stars Ernie Hudson (a real nice guy, by the way; say hello if you see him at a convention) as one of a group of war veterans who get their revenge on a racist, sadistic landlord. Billy Dee Williams, Jason Alexander and Danny Trejo pop up in other segments, and one thug gets killed by a 40 of malt liquor through the skull. What’s not to like?
