Snoop Dogg Biography
Review The Artist (12)
No other rapper has been able to carve such a distinct niche in hip hop's diverse and expansive history as Snoop Dogg. His flow is like a Southern breeze on a lazy Sunday afternoon - soothing in its feel, sturdy in its power. We've all witnessed the curly-headed, lyrical phenomenon from 21st Street in Long Beach evolve and fortify into a grown man, now just as concerned with his business as he is with his lyrics - his game as healthy and expanding as his straightened head of hair.
The Doggfather is now bringing his collection of classics to arenas across America as a headliner on Dr. Dre's "Up in Smoke 2000" tour. Snoop will join Tray Deee and Goldie Loc of his newly formed group Tha Eastsidaz, Eminem, Warren G, Xzibit, Nate Dogg, Kurupt, Ice Cube, Mack 10, WC, and others on a tentative 39-city, seven-week tour to show audiences across the nation how the West coast rocks.
His set includes joints from his upcoming No Limit/Priority Records album, Tha Last Meal, due in stores this fall and featuring production from Dr. Dre, Battlecat, Meech Wells, Timbaland, Jellyroll, Fredwreck and Swizz Beats, and Snoop recently completed shooting his long-awaited New Line cinema produced horror-flick "Bones," set to hit theaters later this year. In perhaps his most rewarding accomplishment, Snoop has started his own label, ---------- Records, which offers its artists 100 percent of their publishing rights. "You won't see that in no record label that I've dealt with," says Snoop. "Me giving it to the artist is something special because I feel like if you write your songs and create that atmosphere, you should be compensated for it." ---------- artists include Tha Eastsidaz, Kokane, Butch Cassidy and a female rap trio, Doggy's Angels. The label also has a film division entitled Snoopadelic Films, another gratifying achievement considering Snoop's personal love of motion pictures. The company's
first release will be "The Eastsidaz," a straight-to-video film featuring himself, Tray Deee and Goldie Loc.
For fans interested in Snoop's long and bumpy path to the present day, Snoop detailed his life story in his autobiography, "Tha Doggfather." Written with Davin Scay,the project required a self-analysis that few people are willing to undertake. "I had to go back to my childhood and the things that made me upset, and made me who Iam," says Snoop. "I also had to expose the bad things about myself that caused me to have that bad reputation when I first came out. But it's all a part of life. I was willing to reveal it and share it with the public."
Between his numerous projects, Snoop manages to squeeze in a weekly radio show at The Beat in Los Angeles that has just picked up national syndication in 14 U.S. markets and counting. His air-shift sizzles with his favorite old-school r&b and hip hop joints, as well as world premiere releases of his own material.
Snoop Dogg has already accomplished what many rap artists will never achieve. The sheer resiliency of his 28-year hustle has made hip hop's own "King of All Media" currently available in record stores, movie theaters, book stores, syndicated radio, and recently in concert, C-walking across a stage near you. Snoop admits his newfound focus on matters other than rhyming was sparked by Master P taught me," says Snoop. "Now I'm taking what he taught me, putting it to use with my personal knowledge and just trying to be the best artist in the game."
Born Calvin Broadus, October 20, 1972, Long Beach, California

Review about Snoop Dogg
dont be too naive | Reviewer: Grimzillah | 9/12/09
If you really want his biography go on www.wikipedia.org... and before you believe all this shit about selling his soul to the devil you should know that people who do gangster rap, talk about killin each other and i think that if you can talk about killing someone then you can talk about preety much anything you want... so can you judge them from what they say???... a lot of rappers are accused of selling their soul to the devil but the irony is that if they really have sold their soul to the devil and they got the power to say anything they want... how come I have never heard them speak ill about god? how come i have never heard a single bad thing about god??? dont be so naive and so prejudice to them for what they do.

New song. | Reviewer: Andrew D Yamamoto | 6/20/07
Dear Snoop Dogg,
My name is Andrew D Yamamoto. I am qualified as a private contract mediator and civil litigation clerk. I would like to make a business offer to you to make a copyright of EverClear's song "Everything to Everyone" on so much for the afterglow. If you listen to the song closely it would be really simple to remix it and convert it into a rap CD. If you use my idea I'd like to make about 2 million dollars US. Or a very high price for my original thought. Please e-mail me at ayrplane@hotmail.com.
Thank you sincerely,
Andrew D Yamamoto
