His real name is Calvin Cordozar Broadus Jr (Long Beach, October 20, 1971), better known as Snoop Dogg or Snoop Lion, is a well-known American rapper producer and actor. He has been one of the most successful hip- West Coast rap as well as one of the most notable protégés of producer Dr. Dre.Snoop Dogg went to the Long Beach Polytechnic High School Institute, where he coincided with Cameron Diaz, and his initial foray into public life was due to his share in trafficking Of drugs, albeit on a relatively small scale. Snoop was a member of the local band Rollin '20 Crips. However Snoop was pressured to integrate into the world of music and set aside drug sales in the streets. Later, Snoop recorded home tapes with his cousin Nate Dogg and his friend Warren G (stepbrother of Dr. Dre who at that time worked for N.W.A.). At first, Lil '1/2 Dead, Nate's cousin, and so Snoop, was also part of the group called 213, named after because that was the then local Long Beach prefix. This was partly in homage to Richie Rich's group 413, so known by the then also local prefix of Oakland, California. Snoop Dogg's artistic style has evolved away from gangsta rap; He performed at the Lollapalooza Alternative Rock Festival in 1997 and appeared in several films such as The Wash, as well as producing and directing music videos for himself and other artists. In 2001, he released an autobiography.
After leaving Death Row, many record labels became interested in their services. Finally, Snoop Dogg signed a contract with No Limit Records of Master P. No Limit was very popular by then, as southern rap was beginning to resurface and dominate the charts. Since the 2 Live Crew and Luke Campbell were successful in the early '90s with their "Florida rap", the South did not sound strong again in the country. Snoop shortened his name from Snoop Doggy Dogg to simply Snoop Dogg, and received a lot of criticism for signing for that label.
