Snoop Dogg thinks an anthology series about his life is a better idea than a biopic, even after the success of N.W.A's 'Straight Outta Compton' movie.

Biopic? Snoop Dogg Needs An Anthology Series To Depict His Iconic Rapper Life Published on:May 13, 2021, 4:07 AM by 0 Considering the the success of N.W.AsStraight Outta Compton movie, it would make perfect sense for Snoop Doggto go down a similar route on the big screen.

Me being the Black Forest Gump, so to speak, seeing me in all of these highlighted moments in American history. He added, Were developing that, putting it together as we speak, just trying to take my time and put the right information out. I dont want to rush to it just because was successful, just to come behind it. I want to take my time and make sure that Ive put together the right infrastructure of how I became me you know, the people that inspire me, my upbringing, my mother, my father, my friends, community influences, inspirations that shaped and molded me.
