Snoop pitching Rap Idol-type show

RAP IDOL? Snoop Dogg has been pitching a TV series to discover the next hot hip-hop act, Page Six reports. He recently said, "I'm looking for a deal from a network to find America's hottest 'hood artists." According to sources, Snoop is touting that the show could be as popular as American Idol, but TV execs are not convinced, though E! and MTV are said to have shown interest. Moving right along, he’s trying to assemble a celebrity panel of hip-hop icons to judge and mentor young acts as they compete. "He wants to bring in an old-school legend, and he wants to get Jay-Z," an insider said. Wiz Khalifa has shown interest and will likely be involved. "Snoop has wild ideas about who he can get to judge, but most are probably unlikely, including Jay," a source said. (6/6a)
