The recently named \"&lt;a href=\"http://www.tmz.com/2006/06/14/taylor-hicks-tops-peoples-hottest-bachelors-list/\"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;hottest bachelor&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;\" winner, is so hot that he got to drop some rhymes with none other than Snoop Dogg this past weekend.&lt;/p&gt;\n&lt;p&gt;Snoop was in 'Bama performing at Birmingham's City Stage Festival on Saturday.  Hicks hopped up on stage to join Snoop on \"Gin and Juice.\" Hicks played a little harmonica and busted a few dance moves as well.  Don't worry Snoop, we won't tell anyone back in Compton.&lt;/p&gt;\n&lt;p&gt;Showing off his street cred, Hicks &lt;a href=\"http://www.al.com/news/birminghamnews/index.ssf?/base/news/11506222757010.xml&amp;amp;coll=2\"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;gave props&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt; to the D - O - Double G:&lt;/p&gt;\n&lt;p&gt;\"I have the greatest respect for Snoop Dogg as an artist, but also as a family man, a businessman and an integral part of pop culture,\" Hicks said in an interview downtown Saturday afternoon. \"Rap music has the most advanced lyricism there is. Rap is real; there's nothing pretentious about it. I'm very excited about appearing with Snoop. I think it's great.\" &lt;/p&gt;\n&lt;p&gt;Fo' shizzle, American Izzle.&lt;/p&gt;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
