Snoop Dogg

Guide Note

Snoop Dogg burst onto the hip-hop scene as a guest on Dr. Dre's album The Chronic and soon had a number one album with Doggystyle. He has made the suffix "-izzle" popular as his own branding of slang. His mother gave him the nickname Snoopy, as he loved the cartoon Peanuts as a child. After high school, he spent the next few years in and out of prison on various gang related charges. He has since had astounding success with hit singles such as "Drop It Like It's Hot", "Gin & Juice", "Candy" and many more.
