Snoop Dogg is a huge “Game of Thrones” fan – apparently because he thinks it’s real.
In a new interview with the New York Post, the Doggfather said one of the reasons he’s so fascinated by the hit HBO series – you know, the one based on George R.R. Martin’s fictional book series “A Song of Ice and Fire” and filled with dragons, white walkers, shadow monsters, giants, witches and other not-so-real things – is because it provides a useful history lesson.
“I watch it for historic reasons, to try to understand what this world was based on before I got here,” Snoop told the Post. “I like to know how we got from there, to here, and the similarities between then and now.”

In our second most-favorite Snoop/”GoT” related news item, when asked which resident of Westeros Snoop – who also contributed to the “Game of Thrones” Season 5 mixtape – would like to “smoke weed with,” the rapper opted for someone who always pays his debts.
“Of course Tyrion Lannister! He knows how to party,” Snoop said of Peter Dinklage’s character, in an interview with The Daily Beast.

Dear HBO, can we please just find a guest spot for Snoop in Season 6?!?
