Rock Band’s Gone Hip-Hop: The next edition of the gamer favorite Rock Band will feature eight songs from West Coast rhymer Snoop Dogg, the company announced in a statement Monday.

The distinction makes Snoop the first rapper to have his music featured in the video game series, which has previously used music from acts like Green Day, Aerosmith, and Jimi Hendrix. It’s an honor that has the father of three — himself an avid gamer — excited to blow a few trees. (Then again, doesn’t everything make Snoop excited enough to blow trees?)

“I consider myself an OG gamer, and to be chosen as the first hip hop artist to appear in Rock Band…well, it doesn’t get any better than that, ya dig?” he said in a press release. “I know my fans gonna get down with tha Pound with this one and tha youngsters really gonna realize who started this gamer ish, u hear me?!?”

Among the Snoop Dogg hits that will appear in the “Rock Band” music store this week are:

-”Beautiful”

-”Drop It Like It’s Hot”

-”Ridin’ In My Chevy”

-”Sensual Seduction”

-”Snoop’s Upside Ya Head”

-”Tha Shiznit”

-”That’s Tha Homie”

-”Who Am I (What’s My Name)?”
