Snoop Dogg to spark second season of HHGL

Here’s something that people who aren’t fans of Snoop Dogg might not know: He’s got gamer cred. The Hip-Hop Gaming League, of which he is the commissioner, is about to launch round two of their league.

Snoop and media company GGL have recently announced that like last season, this year’s crop of participants will include a mix of rappers, athletes, and other celebrities, and that all of them will participate in a tournament that will culminate in Las Vegas on February 16.

This year’s participants include: Krazie Bone, Fredwreck, Just Blaze, Jalen Rose of the Phoenix Suns, Eric V (last year’s winner), B-Real, Paul Wall, David Banner, Murs, Cobi Jones of the Los Angeles Galaxy, Lil’ Wayne, Birdman, DJ Maseo, Rick Ross, Yung Joc, Lupe Fiasco, Malice, Pusha T, DJ Revolution, Darnell Bing of the Oakland Raiders, Brandon Marshall of the Denver Broncos, Wish Bone Warren G, Big Pooh, Hi-Tek, Lil Keke, Xololanxinxo, Layzie Bone, Boondocks creator Aaron McGruder, Trevor Ariza of the Orlando Magic, and Michael Robinson of the San Francisco 49ers.

Folks who are registered with the GGL will have a chance to play in a parallel fans-only league and will have to weed through opponents to get to the Las Vegas finals.

Last year the main game used for competition was NCAA 07. However, Snoop says that he’ll probably add Saints Row, Madden NFL 07, and NBA 2k7 to matchups “to spice up the league.”
