Routhier admits to wondering about the authenticity of Snoop&#8217;s replies, given in full rap vernacular. Did Calvin Broadus (Snoop\u2019s real name) type the unique answers himself, or did a PR expert take on the task? When asked by Routhier if he has Maine ties, Snoop replies, \u201cI always have a blast on tha east coast with college town shows.
