Real Name: Calvin Broadus
Born: October 27, 1972 in Long Beach California
| Snoop Dogg's Doggy Style |  |
| Snoop Dogg's Greatest Hits |  |
| Snoop Dogg's Bones |  |
Doggystyle was his first CD and the first debut album to enter the BillBoard Charts at #1. As was de rigueur for gangsta rappers, Broadus' criminal past cast a long, somewhat romanticized shadow over his achievements. He was busted for drugs after leaving his high school in Long Beach, and spent three years in and out of jail. He first appeared in 1991 when helping out Dr. Dre on a track called "Deep Cover", from the movie with the same title. Dogg was also ubiquitous on Dr. Dre's 1992 breakthrough, The Chronic. particularly on the hit single "Nuthin' But A 'G' Thang", which he wrote and on which he co-rapped. His most recent CD is Bones. On a different note Calvin Broadus (Snoop) is Shad Moss' (Lil' Bow wow) uncle.
