Ca un personaj important al gangsta rap-ului din anii '90, Snoop Doggy Dogg s-a aflat n rap ntre realitate i ficiune. Introdus n lumea rap-ului prin albumul lui Dr. Dre - The Chronic, Snoop Doggy Dogg a devenit un star n rap, mai ales dup ce a fost arestat sub acuzarea c ar fi un complice la crim. Acest arest l-a ajutat cu siguran n albumul lui de debut - Doggystyle, primul lui album care a intrat numrul 1 n topuri, dar cu timpul, i-a stricat n carier. Snoop a

trebuit s se lupte cu acuzri n 1994 i 1995, acestea fcndu-i mult ru n carier. Tha Doggfather, al doilea album a lui, nu a fost lansat pn n noiembrie 1996 i s-a vndut cu jumtate mai puin dect precedentul Doggystyle, ce nsemna c Snoop rmnea o vedet, dar nu mai avea influena de acum 2 ani.

Snoop Dogg (Bucureti, 2008) Poreclit Snoop de ctre mama sa din cauza nfirii sale, Calvin 'Snoop Dogg' Broadus (nscut pe 20.10.1971) a fost crescut n Long Beach, California, unde avea multe probleme cu legea. La scurt timp dup terminarea liceului, el a fost arestat pentru posesie de cocain, o perioad de 3 ani fiind nchis de mai multe ori. A gsit scparea din viaa de infractor prin muzic. Snoop Dogg a nceput s nregistreze casete fcute acas cu prietenul su Warren G., care era fratele vitreg a lui Dr. Dre, pe vremea aceea n N.W.A. Warren G i-a dat o caset lui Dre care a fost impresionat de stilul lui Snoop i a nceput s colaboreze cu rapperul. Cnd Dr. Dre a decis s fac prima sa tentativ ntr-o carier solo n 1992 cu piesa pt. filmul Deep Cover, Snoop cnta cu el. Pe primul album solo a lui Dr. Dre - The Chronic, lansat la sfritul anului 1992, Snoop a cntat aproape la fel de mult ca Dre, vocile lor fiind la fel de importante n succesul lor ca i influenele bass-ului P-Funk, fcute de Dre. Piesele lui Dre Nuthin' but a 'G' thang i Dre Day, care au fost cntate mpreun cu Snoop, au intrat n Top 10 prin primvara lui 1993, acest fapt pregtindu-i mult anticipatul album de debut a lui Snoop Doggy Dogg - Doggystyle. n timpul nregistrrilor albumului din august 1993, Snoop a fost arestat n legtur cu moartea lui Phillip Woldermarian, mpucat dintr-o main n micare. Conform declaraiilor, bodyguardul rapperului, McKinley Lee, l-a mpucat pe Woldermarian n timp ce Snoop conducea maina; rapperul a spus c era n legitim aprare i c victima l amenina cu o arm. Dup ce a cntat la MTV Music Awards n 1993, Snoop a fost luat de autoriti. Dup multe amnri, Doggystyle a fost n sfrit lansat la Death Row n noiembrie 1993, i a devenit primul album a lui Snoop care a urcat pe locul 1 n topuri. n ciuda faptului c unele voci spuneau c Doggystyle era o copie a The Chronic, piesele What's my name? i Gin & Juice au inut albumul n fruntea top-ului pn la nceputul lui 1994, iar Snoop a devenit un rapper mult controversat, din cauza arestului i a textelor care erau considerate prea violente i sexiste. n timpul unui turneu prin Anglia n primvara lui 1994, civa oameni de la putere au cerut Guvernului s-l dea afar din ar pe Snoop, bazndu-se pe excesul de violen i obsceniti din textele lui, i pe arestul lui, fiind acuzat de crim. Snoop le-a dat replica i a explicat procesul turnnd un film bazat pe piesa Murder was the case, i

scond un soundtrack care a urcat rapid pe locul 1 n 1994. Pe acea vreme, Doggystyle a ctigat de 4 ori discul de platin. Snoop Doggy Dogg a petrecut o mare parte din anul 1995 pregtindu-se pentru proces, care a avut loc la sfritul lui '95. n februarie 1996 i-au fost retrase toate acuzaile i a nceput s lucreze la al doilea album al su - Tha Doggfather de data asta fr s-l aib pe Dr. Dre ca productor. Cnd albumul a fost n sfrit lansat n 1996, s-a vzut clar c nu era un album G-Funk produs de Dr. Dre. Albumul a avut i remix-uri i iniial a fost vndut bine, dar de-a lungul timpului nu a reuit s lanseze un hit asemntor celor dou What's my name? i Gin & juice. O parte din motivul puinului succes a lui Tha Doggfater a fost marile schimbri n gangsta rap: Tupac Shakur, care devenise un prieten dea lui Snoop, a murit cu cteva sptmni nainte s fie scos albumul, Dr. Dre a plecat de la Death Row, lsnd casa de discuri n grija lui Suge Knight, care era ngropat n acuzri la sfritul lui 1996. Albumul nu mai avea influena precedentului, iar vnzrile au ajuns la 2 milioane, ce era dezamgitor pt. un superstar. Snoop a nceput s-i reconstruiasc imaginea, trecnd\ de la stilul su Gangsta la un rap mai calm i schimbndu-i numele de scen, de la Snoop "Doggy" Dogg la Snoop Dogg, aa cum l tim n zilele noastre. Albumul Da game is to be sold, not to be told este primul su album la noua cas de discuri, No Limit Records, urmat n 1999 de albumul No Limit Top Dogg, ndeprtndu-se de stilul West Coast, totui rmnnd un personaj important n Rap-ul contemporan. Dup acestea, a urmat Tha Last Meal, un album care n-a fost conform ateptrilor, dar unele piese totui mai pstreaz sound-ul gangsta rap-ului west coast pe care l avea n 1993. De asemenea, coperta albumului seamn cu cea a primului. A urmat Death Row's Greatest Hits care amintete de Snoop "Doggy" Dogg i de Doggystyle, multe dintre piese fiind de pe acel album... Urmeaz un nou album - Paid tha cost to be da boss, lansat pe 26 noiembrie, n colaborare cu casa de discuri Capitol Records. Acest album va ntri cu siguran statura lui Snoop ca rapper. Pt. cei care nc nu tiu: cu ctva timp n urm, Snoop Dogg s-a alturat n sfrit trupei N.W.A (Niggaz With Attitude), n locul lui Eazy-E (RIP), care a murit n 1995 de SIDA. Membrii trupei sunt: Dr. Dre, Ice Cube, MC Ren, Snoop Dogg & Dj Yella. Cordozar Calvin Broadus este cstorit din 12 iunie 1997 cu Shante Taylor i are doi fii i o fiic.
