Former pimp Snoop Dogg gives advice to Elliot Spitzer

Snoop Dogg was on "The View" this morning to promote his new reality show "Father Hood" on E! and he charmed every woman on that panel.

He talked about his new CD, Ego Trippin, in which he sings and mixes genres such as R&B and even country.

Barbara Walters mentioned that Snoop is no longer doing only gangster rap, and that he's matured. She said "no more gangs, no more pot," and he said "I didn't say that!" She asked what vices he's given up since becoming a responsible dad. Snoop said he doesn't drink, but that he has a medical condition he didn't specify and that he needs medical marijuana. Joy mentioned glaucoma and Snoop scrunched up his eyes and said "I can't see that good!"

Barbara pressed "What you're saying it's only medical marijuana."
Snoop: "Only medical, no street weed I have a license and everything"

They show a clip of Snoop doing yoga on his reality show and Joy says "he's stoned, that's why he's lying like that."

Snoop said that every strong man has a strong woman and that his wife runs the house and takes care of everything.

Joy Behar then brought up the fact that Snoop is a former pimp and asked him for advice for governor Spitzer.

Snoop said "It's too late for advice now. If he'd seen me before it would have been real discrete and would not have exposed his game. He would still be able to be client number nine."

Whoopi then questioned Snoop about guys dating his daughter in the future that might be like he was in the past and he said "I can't fix what I've done in the past, all I can do is be better today."

Snoop talked about his youth football league and also confirmed that he'll be a guest on the soap opera "One Life to Live," and said he got hooked on soaps when he was young and got suspended from school a lot. According to the Miami Herald, his episodes will air May 8 and 9.

Snoop mentioned his clothing lines for women, men, and dogs, and said he's just trying to give everyone some of that Snoop Kool aid.
