Visuals/News that matter - Why I love Snoop

BOSTON, MA, United States (UPI) - Rapper Snoop Dogg is launching his own line of foot-long hot dogs.

'Snoop Doggs' are being made in Massachusetts and will hit store shelves in January, the Boston Herald reports.

'There aren't any celebrity hot dogs out there,' Snoop's brother and business manager Bing Worthington told the Herald. 'Who's the competition? Ball Park? ... Imagine a long, skinny hot dog just like Snoop.'

Bing said his brother is just looking out for his financial future.

'Snoop takes advantage of everything,' he said. 'This rap money isn't long. Just ask MC Hammer.'

Hammer, the San Francisco Bay area rapper who had such hits as 'U Can't Touch This' in the early 1990s, declared bankruptcy by the late '90s.
