*International superstar rapper Snoop Dogg (real name: Calvin Broadus) may be known in the hip-hop world as "Tha Dogg Father," but what about his real life as a father? Well, the world is about to find out. Just keep in mind, this ain't the Huxtables. But it ain't "Being Bobby Brown," either

"Snoop Dogg's Father Hood" reality show premiers this Sunday, December 9 on (E! Entertainment channel), introducing his old fans - and new fans - to the inside of his everyday life with wife Shante, their two sons 13-year-old Corde and 10-year-old Cordell, and their 8-year-old daughter Cori.

Called "hilarious and heartwarming," Snoop promises a new take on reality-based TV as he puts a little of the ‘hood in fatherhood.

"I'd been approached about doing this show for a numerous amount of years, but it never felt right to me [before]," Snoop said of how the show came about. "I ran the idea passed my wife because I felt like my kids were at the age to where they had something to say and it was worth taping. So she agreed and they agreed and we're doing it."
