Kelvin Cordozar Broadus Jr.

Snoop Dog is a musician, producer and actor who became famous in the late 90s thanks to his debut album and problems with the police.

In his youth, Snoop regularly went to prison. Today he is a world-renowned rap artist, a successful businessman and an exemplary family man.

Calvin Broadus, the real name of the famous rapper, was born in 1971 in Long Beach. Cute dog from the comics Peanuts - a favorite character of the musician. Her mother called Calvin the name of the cartoon character. The nickname was attached to the boy, and later, years later, turned into a music brand.

Snoop has two brothers. His father fought in Vietnam, left the family three months after Calvin was born. The restless boy was looked after by his grandfather in the absence of his mother. Later, becoming a star, Snoop admitted that he was able to benefit from his father's lack of attention. Bitter experience taught the musician not to make parental mistakes, helped to become a wonderful father.

Snoop's vocals were grasped in the church choir. But this does not mean that the future rapper had a humble and compliant temper. The unruly teenager was not influenced by parental instruction or choral singing. No wonder Calvin grew up in the criminal district.

After school, the future rapper went to college, but did not graduate: not enough perseverance. In addition, the guy, prone to adventure, irresistibly attracted the street. Romance, freedom, independence - this is not the in the life of law-abiding citizens.

In the late 80's Snoop became a member of the Crips gang. Criminal activity had logical consequences. There are several arrests in Calvin's biography. Perhaps he would have become a criminal authority, but at some point he stopped, thought about the future and decided to change his lifestyle. At this time Snoop became interested in live music. And soon an unknown black guy met Dr. Dre.

The influential producer listened to the demo tape, and then took Calvin under his care. In 1992, the film "Undercover" was released, the soundtrack of which was written by Snoop Dog. Two years later, the first album was released. Then the guy with a criminal past and gained popularity. The Chronic is a collaboration between Calvin Broadus and Dr. Dre. The album includes songs in the genre of so-called gangster funk - a musical direction, in the development of which the lead role was played by Snoop Dog.

The song Gin and Juice from the debut album became a classic of hip-hop. And then in the life of a rap artist there was an incident that raised his rating. The musician was arrested on a murder charge. It later emerged that Philipp Awoldemariau had been shot by Snoop's security guard and had done so in self-defence. The rapper was cleared of charges. But this incident has long been discussed, the photo of the debutant flashed in the press. Snoop's popularity grew. The idol of African-American youth for several months occupied the first lines of the charts.

In 1996, an album dedicated to Tupac was released. The alias Snoop Dog received official status after signing with No Limit Records. The rapper recorded three albums on the label of the famous record company.

In 2000, Dr. Dre released the single "The net Episode", which was included in his second studio album. Snoop and his brother Nate contributed to this recording. The song ends with the words of the latter: "Smoke Weed Everyday", and therefore it is mistakenly called "Smoke species of Eury Day".

In 2004, Snoop Dog starred in starsky and Hutch. Two years later he recorded two Grammy-winning songs. Snoop did not forget about the past associated with the Crips gang: in 2005 he recorded a single dedicated to the leader of a criminal organization.

Even becoming famous, the rapper did not seek to find common ground with law enforcement. In 2006, Snoop had an argument with police at the airport. It is not known what excited the star that day. Together with friends, he tried to enter the VIP room. However, the security closed the access of the overly noisy company. They didn't figure out anything else to go to Duty Free and smash a few bottles of high-end alcohol.

The security guards, called by the store staff, hardly calmed down the rowdy. They were injured. Stup was back behind bars, but not for long. The rapper was released on bail the next day. There's a lot of uncertainty in this story. Later, the official version of the musician was criticized. A video recording has been preserved confirming that the musician did not resist the police. Ten minutes before the fight, Snoop had a nice conversation with the kids in the waiting room.

In 2009, the popularity of the rap musician increased so much that in Las Vegas installed his wax figure. In the same year, he recorded the single Groove On with Timati. The composition is presented for the first time in St. Tropez.

In 2012, Calvin Brodus took on a new creative pseudonym. Now he's Snoop Lyon. However, fans still call him Snoop Dog. The singer decided to use the new image after he visited Jamaica and joined the Rastafarai movement. The genres of hip-hop and gangsta rap Snoop changed to reggae and introduced fans to the new hit "JA JA JA".

Among the popular songs that Snoop created with other musicians is a duet with French DJ David Guetta "Wet". The track started with the first lines of international charts of rap music. Another joint single with Wiz Khalifa and Bruno Mars, "Young, Wild and Free" also received high Billboard Hot 100 ratings and a Grammy nomination. Despite the fact that the song was recorded by three musicians, Bruno Mars did not participate in the filming of the music video. Often the rapper had to perform with Eminem at the national concerts. The musician later praised his colleague's work, calling him "the hope of white America."

In the summer of 2014, a music video for the song "Pharrel" appeared on the Web. The song was intended for a new album produced by Pharrell Williams. A year later, two singles were released. One of them was called "So Many Pros" and was included in the album "Bush", which was released in the spring of 2015. Stevie Wonder and other famous representatives of the rhythm and blues genre participated in the recording. Critics met Snoop's 13th album of solo discography positively.

Snoop is a man who is at odds with the law. That's the stage image. In fact, the famous rapper is an exemplary family man. Calvin married Shanta Taylor in the mid-90s. Snoop plays basketball from an early age. Perhaps, thanks to sports and began their romance. Shanta was rooting for a team of which her future husband was a member. Already in those years Snoop was high tall (192 cm at a weight of 85 kg).

In 1994, the rapper became a father: the son of Korde was born. Three years later Cordell was born, in 199 - daughter Corey. The girl was diagnosed with a rare autoimmune disease - lupus erythematosus. According to the father, despite the illness, Corey remains a cheerful and mobile child. Snoop once admitted to reporters that because of the concerts he desperately does not have time to communicate with children, however, every spare minute he tries to devote to the family. Snoop and Shanta chose the Californian city of Claremont as the place to live.

Later, the singer's wife registered the brand "Co Co Ri" which is engaged in the production of designer sportswear. T-shirts and sweatshirts with the logo of Snoop Dogg Kelvin and Shanta Brodus sell through the online store. The rapper's wife also owns the label "Boss Lady Entertainment". As a manager, the woman worked with rap artist The Lady of Rage.

The famous rapper collects cars, is engaged in charity. The singer attends basketball matches. Among the teams for which the musician is a musician are Los Angeles Lakers, Pittsburgh Steelers, Los Angeles Dodgers.

Snoop's family is rich in talent. His cousins, who perform under the pseudonyms RBX, Nate Dogg, Lil' 1/2 Dead and Daz Dillinger, Brandy and Ray J., have also become successful in hip-hop and R'amp;B fan circles.

In 2004, Snoop and his wife's relationship went into crisis, but four years later the family reunited. In 2015, the eldest son, musician Korde, was born the first-born zayaon.

Snoop likes to experiment on his appearance. In front of the audience at different times the performer appeared with swirling curls, on top of which he wore a pink cap or a baseball cap, then with a perfectly combed back tail. The rapper's favorite hairstyle is dreadlocks, the styling of which he does differently every time. Also on the body of the musician are tattoos in the form of a portrait of the wife and a memorable image in honor of colleague and friend Nate Dogg.

In March 2017, Snoop's Instagram page reported the release of another album. In the rapper's solo career more than 10 albums. Dog also surprised fans with a music video for the song "Lavender". On screen, Snoop shot a clown dressed as Donald Trump with a toy gun. The musician borrowed the song from the Canadian band Bad Bad Not Good, which he created a remix with beatmaker Kaytranada.

In May, Snoop Dog received a certificate from the Guinness Book of Records. The musician excelled by making a 500-liter glass of cocktail, which was called Paradise. The recipe of the drink is quite simple - it includes only gin and juice.
