Snoop Dogg has revealed that he keeps up with Game of Thrones for "historic reasons", so that he may better understand "how we got here".

Snoop contributed the track Lannister's Anthem to the Game of Thrones: Catch the Throne Vol. 2 mixtape, and spoke to the New York Post about his passion for the show.

"I watch it for historic reasons, to try to understand what this world was based on before I got here," Snoop said. "I like to know how we got from there, to here, and the similarities between then and now."

Unfortunately the NYP didn't probe him further, I'd love to hear what Snoop thinks about us no longer using dragons for transport.
