Hip-Hop & Soap Operas

Hip-Hop and Soap Operas, we know, run in two different worlds. However, is it frowned upon for a music artist, specifically in the Hip-Hop industry, to delve into all things entertainment? Well, one such individual seems to reap success in all his entertainment endeavors despite what people think.

Yes, the homie, Big Snoopy D-O, scores again! From Martha Stewart and the Stock Exchange to making guest appearances on daytime soap One Life to Live,  the 36 year-old rapper alludes to the statement “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it!”

One Life to Live has been a renowned staple of daytime television for over 40 years, with the character Bo, played by actor Robert S. Woods, being a favorite Snoop’s. Tomorrow, Snoop will make his second appearance on the show, once again playing himself (or a close of enough version) and perform his hit single, “I Wanna Rock”, from his recently released album, Malice N Wonderland.

Check out Snoop Dogg on One Life to Live tomorrow and click on the picture below to watch Snoop’s previous guest spot on the soap opera.

But Cashmere was able to get a hold of exclusive footage of all the behind-the-scenes happenings during Snoop’s imperial march through the Big Apple.

Was all peaceful at the end of the day? Did Yoda come through and cop a pair of Luke Skywalker Top Tens? Did Chewbacca ever get a haircut? Check out the video below and, oh yeah, “May the Force be with you.”
