"Snoop Dogg has revealed that he would love to play Miles Davis. The rapper believes that the musician&amp;#039;s &amp;quot;brilliant&amp;quot; story should be told in a biopic, Showbiz Spy reports. &amp;quot;One day Quincy Jones said to me, &amp;#039;When you rap it sounds like Miles Davis playing his trumpet&amp;#039;,&amp;quot; Dogg explained. &amp;quot;I became curious and wanted to know more about him. I started to listen to his records and read about him. &amp;quot;For me, Miles isn&amp;#039;t a hero, but a desire and a challenge. Miles didn&amp;#039;t care what people or critics thought about him - he just played his music and kept developing himself as a person. He just did his own thing. &amp;quot;That&amp;#039;s the reason why I want to play him. His brilliant story needs to be told.&amp;quot; Dogg also joked that he is now more successful than his idol Tom Cruise, quipping: &amp;quot;When I started to star in films I used to say, &amp;#039;I dream of becoming the black version of Tom Cruise&amp;#039;.  &amp;quot;Today I think it&amp;#039;s the other way round - Tom Cruise could dream of becoming the white version of Snoop Dogg.&amp;quot; "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
