Hip Hop Gaming League Announced by Snoop Dogg

The Global Gaming League and rapper Snoop Dogg have teamed-up to announce the formation of the Hip Hop Gaming League. The Hip Hop Gaming League is a community designed to introduce the world of hip hop to the world of competitive online gaming.  The HHGL website is the battleground where MCs and international gaming champions compete and showcase their skills for a global audience. In NBA style, Snoop Dogg will be the league's first "commissioner" overseeing the action, and making sure the gamers, and games on Microsoft Xbox Live for the Xbox 360 are on point.

The season kicks-off with a lineup of stars such as Proof (D12), Paul Wall, Just Blaze, Krazyie Bone of Grammy winners Bone-Thugs-n-Harmony, MLS soccer star Cobi Jones, Murs, Kaine (Ying Yang Twins), NBA Star Jalen Rose, Twista,  Fredwreck, BReal of Cypress Hill, Eric V. of the Baka Boyz, and Wutang Clan founder Method Man.  Players were selected based on their reputations for top video game skills, as well as for their prominence in the hip hop community.

League matches begin online starting in March 2006 and conclude in May with a live Finals event in Las Vegas presided over by Snoop himself.  At the finals event, the first ever HHGL World Champion will be crowned and awarded eternal bragging rights.  Also, a substantial donation will be made to the Snoop Youth Football League on the champion's behalf.
