Snoop Dogg
Calvin Cordozar Broadus, Jr., better known professionally as Snoop Dogg, is an American rapper, record producer, and actor. Snoop is best known as an MC in the West Coast hip hop scene, and for being one of producer Dr. Dre's most notable proteges.

BIOGRAPHY
Early life
Calvin Broadus was born October 20, 1971, in Long Beach, California, United States. As a child he received the nickname Snoopy from his mother. Snoop Dogg attended Long Beach Polytechnic High School. Snoop Dogg was a member of a local Crips gang in Long Beach, the Rollin' 20's Crips. Snoop Dogg's conviction caused him to be in and out of prison for the first three years after he graduated from high school.

Success with Death Row Records
Dr. Dre began collaborating with Snoop Dogg, first on the theme song of the feature film Deep Cover, and then on Dr. Dre's debut solo album The Chronic with the other members of his former starting group, Tha Dogg Pound. Snoop Dogg's contribution to The Chronic was considerable; the rapper's rhymes were as present as Dr. Dre's.

While recording Doggystyle with Dr. Dre in August 1993, Snoop Dogg was arrested in connection with the death of Phillip Woldermarian, a member of a rival gang. Snoop Dogg remained entangled in the legal battles around the case for three years.

RECENT YEARS
Musical style & work
Upon leaving Death Row Records Snoop was approached by a number of record labels. He eventually signed a contract with Master P's No Limit Records. No Limit was quite popular at the time.

Da Game Is to Be Sold, Not to Be Told was the first album Snoop released at No Limit. It received negative reviews, yet still sold well. Snoop put his stamp of the now ubiquitous "Dirty South" sound on this album. It was produced mostly in-house by Beats By The Pound. Snoop's next effort, No Limit Top Dogg would re-unite Snoop with his mentor Dr. Dre for some highlight tracks and see a return to the G-funk style of his Death Row days; it proved to be a success in both ratings and sales, as the album embraced both old and new styles of West Coast hip hop along with assorted guests from the No Limit roster. Snoop Dogg followed this up with his last album on No Limit Records titled Tha Last Meal. Later that year, he collaborated again with his old friends Nate Dogg and Warren G as part of 213. They released an album The Hard Way "Groupie Luv", and reached #4 in the U.S. Billboard 200 album charts.

Major concert tours
Snoop Dogg has performed in several major concert tours in the United States and abroad, including the alternative rock Lollapalooza tour in 1997, the Up In Smoke Tour with Dr. Dre, Ice Cube, and Eminem, and Live 8 in Hyde Park in 2005. Most recently, on 7 July 2007 Snoop Dogg performed at the German leg of Live Earth in Hamburg
