Snoop Dogg

Snoop Dogg is one of the best-known figures in gangsta rap. Born Calvin Broadus, he became famous for his laid-back rapping style in the 1990s. He has released several hit albums over the years, including 'Doggyfather' and 'No Limit Top Dogg.' Snoop Dogg is one of the most iconic figures to emerge from the early-'90s G-funk era. His 1993 effort Doggystyle became the first debut album to enter the charts at number one. Snoop has also made forays into television, football coaching, and reggae and gospel music. He is known for his drawled, laconic rhyming and realistic violence implied in his lyrics.

Broadus took the stage name Snoop Doggy Dogg at the beginning of his career. In 1993 he worked on Dr. Dre's debut solo album 'The Chronic.' Snoop's debut album 'Doggystyle' was released in 1993. The first released single 'Drop It Like It's Hot' from his 2004 album ‘R&G (Rhythm & Gangsta): The Masterpiece’, was one of his most successful works. It reached No. 1 on the US Billboard Hot 100, becoming Snoop's first US No. 1 single. In 2012, he adopted a new stage name, Snoop Lion. In March 2013, his documentary titled 'Reincarnated' was released. Snoop has also appeared in several television programs such as the sketch comedy show 'Doggy Fizzle Televizzle' and reality show 'Snoop Dogg's Father Hood.'
