Snoop Dogg feels 'Game of Thrones' is real

Rapper Snoop Dogg, a fan of fantasy drama TV series "Game of Thrones", says he watches it to gain more knowledge about history as he feels whatever happens in the show must have happened sometime in the past.

"I watch it for historic reasons, to try to understand what this world was based on before I got here. I like to know how we got from there, to here, and the similarities between then and now," nypost.com quoted the 43-year-old as saying.

Asked about the similarities between the TV show and the present life, he said: "That kings still rule and a bitch f*****d everything up, in every situation."

The rapper has contributed to the mixtape of "Game of Thrones" season 5. As one of the show's fans, he felt honoured for having been asked to contribute to the show.

"I was more than honoured because I'm truly a fan of the show. I would have done it for free, but they gave me some money on top of it, so I was like, 'F***k it, let's do it'," he said.
