No matter what other people say about his image and no matter how much other people pass judgment on his previous illicit endeavors, no amount of criticisms will put a stop to Snoop Dogg in showing the world that he's a good father. In an effort to prove a point, he takes viewers inside his home on his reality series
Snoop Dogg's Father Hood, where he shows his true colors as he continues to pursue his career, while raising a family and becoming a role model for his kids.
"I just wanted to put together a reality show that shows the positive things that I do in life, along with being a father and a husband," he told The ShowBuzz.

Although Snoop Dogg is noted for his raps often being associated with sex, drugs and profanity, he says that these things doesn't affect his approach in raising his kids since he applies a different parenting strategy. For the infamous rapper, what's important is to be open with his kids.
"A lot of my songs, they don't really understand the meaning of them, but they make them feel good so they just moving to them and they grooving to them,” he said.
"This is a different world…now holding hands is out the book," he added. "[Dealing with] kids is [about] knowing what's up. They know straight, gay, they know the difference between safe sex and unprotected sex…so you can't even act like it's a puzzle to the kids…You gotta be ahead of them."
As a parent, Snoop Dogg tries to be more of a friend than a father figure, which according to him encourages them to be more honest. And whether people agree with his approach or not, Snoop Dogg says no one can say that he isn't deeply involved in the lives of his kids.
While Snoop Dogg acknowledges the fact that many rappers turn out to be nasty and indecent because they grew up fatherless in poor neighborhoods, he hopes to break the cycle with
Snoop Dogg's Father Hood, which will hopefully encourage kids to become good fathers as well.
"We're not being appreciated or commended for that," he said. "It's sad because they always want to say 20 rappers are in jails because they did this or that but what about the 100 rappers that are doing positive creative things and being fathers to their kids?"
