Snoop Dogg partnering with MTV Games; Rock Band to feature some of his songs

LOLWUT

So apparently, Snoop Dogg has partnered with MTV Games for all sort of various promotional deals (for instance, his next album will be released through MTV).  But the only part we care about is the fact that apparently his music will be featured as DLC on Rock Band in the future.  Anyone else find that strange?

I mean, not to take away from Snoop at all… but it clearly is as far from Rock as one can possibly come.  Some of the songs featured live instruments I believe, but really, how well is this going to work?

Here’s the relevant quote from the press release:

In addition, songs from Snoop Dogg’s impressive catalogue of hits will be released on MTV’s hot-selling Rock Band® music video game platform.
