In 2012, after a trip to Jamaica, Snoop announced a conversion to Rastafarianism and a new alias, Snoop Lion. As Snoop Lion he released a reggae album, Reincarnated, and a documentary film of the same name, about his Jamaican experience, in early 2013. His 13th studio album, Bush, was released in May 2015 and marked a return of the Snoop Dogg name. His 14th solo studio album, Coolaid, was released in July 2016. Snoop has 17 Grammy nominations without a win. In March 2016, the night before WrestleMania 32 in Arlington, Texas, he was inducted into the celebrity wing of the WWE Hall of Fame, has made several appearances for the company, including a Master of Ceremonies during a match at WrestleMania XXIV. In 2018, he released his first gospel album, Bible of Love.
Calvin Cordozar Broadus Jr was born (October 20, 1971) in Long Beach, California, the second of three sons. Calvin was named after his stepfather, Calvin Cordozar Broadus Sr. His mother is Beverly Broadus (née Tate). His father, Vernell Varnado, was a Vietnam veteran, singer, and mail carrier who was frequently absent from his life. As a boy, Broadus’s parents nicknamed him “Snoopy” because of his appearance but usually addressed him as Calvin at home. His mother and stepfather divorced in 1975. When he was very young, Broadus began singing and playing piano at Golgotha Trinity Baptist Church. In sixth grade, he began rapping.[18][19] Broadus’s father left the family when he was three months old. A DNA test read by George Lopez on Lopez Tonight revealed Broadus to be of 71% African, 23% Native American, and 6% European descent.
As a teenager, Broadus frequently ran into trouble with the law. He was a member of the Rollin’ 20 Crips gang in the Eastside area of Long Beach, although he stated in 1993 that he never joined a gang. Shortly after graduating from high school, he was arrested for possession of cocaine, and for the next three years was frequently in and out of prison (including Wayside Jail). With his cousins Nate Dogg and Lil’ ½ Dead and friend Warren G, Snoop recorded home made tapes as a group called 213, named after the Long Beach area code. One of his early solo freestyles over En Vogue’s “Hold On” made it to a mixtape that was heard by influential producer Dr. Dre, who called to invite him to an audition. Former N.W.A associate The D.O.C. taught him how to structure his lyrics and separate the thematics into verses, hooks, and chorus.
Snoop Dogg 1992–97
When he began recording, Broadus took the stage name Snoop Doggy Dogg. Dr. Dre began working with Snoop Dogg, first on the theme song of the 1992 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. The huge success of Snoop Dogg’s debut Doggystyle was partly because of this intense exposure.
Snoop Dogg in 1998
The ascendance of West Coast G-funk hip-hop, the singles “Who Am I (What’s My Name)?” and “Gin and Juice” reached the top ten most-played songs in the United States, and the album stayed on the Billboard charts for several months. Gangsta rap became the center of arguments about censorship and labeling, with Snoop Dogg often used as an example of violent and misogynistic musicians. Unlike much of the harder-edged gangsta rap artists, Snoop Dogg seemed to show his softer side, according to music journalist Chuck Philips.
Rolling Stone music critic Touré asserted that Snoop had a relatively soft vocal delivery compared to other rappers: “Snoop’s vocal style is part of what distinguishes him: where many rappers scream, figuratively and literally, he speaks softly. On July 6, 1995, Doggy Style Records, Inc., a record label founded by Snoop Dogg, was registered with the California Secretary of State as business entity number C1923139. August 1996 Doggy Style Records, a subsidiary of Death Row Records, signed the Gap Band’s Charlie Wilson as one of its first artists. He collaborated with fellow rap artist Tupac Shakur on 1996 single 2 of Amerikaz Most Wanted. This was one of Shakur’s last songs while alive; he was shot on September 7, 1996, in Las Vegas, dying 6 days later.

Snoop Dogg’s second album, Tha Doggfather, was released in November 1996, the price of living the gangsta life had become very evident. Among the many notable hip hop industry deaths and convictions were the death of Snoop Dogg’s friend and labelmate Tupac Shakur and the racketeering indictment of Death Row co-founder Suge Knight.
This album featured a distinct change of style from Doggystyle, and the leadoff single, “Snoop’s Upside Ya Head”, featured a collaboration with Charlie Wilson. The album sold reasonably well but was not as successful as its predecessor. Tha Doggfather had a somewhat softer approach to the G-funk style. After Dr. Dre withdrew from Death Row Records, Snoop realized that he was subject to an ironclad time-based contract (that Death Row practically owned anything he produced for a number of years), and refused to produce any more tracks for Suge Knight other than the insulting “Fuck Death Row” until his contract expired
1998–2006: Signing with No Limit

In 2004, Snoop signed to Geffen Records/Star Trak Entertainment, both distributed by Interscope Records; Star Trak is headed by producer duo the Neptunes, which produced several tracks for Snoop’s 2004 release R&G (Rhythm & Gangsta): The Masterpiece. “Drop It Like It’s Hot” (featuring Pharrell), the first single released from the album, was a hit and became Snoop Dogg’s first single to reach number one. His third release was “Signs”, featuring Justin Timberlake and Charlie Wilson, which entered the UK chart at No. 2. This was his highest entry ever in the UK chart. The album sold 1,724,000 copies in the U.S. alone, and most of its singles were heavily played on radio and television. Snoop Dogg joined Warren G and Nate Dogg to form the group 213 and released

Snoop is known to freestyle some of his lyrics on the spot for some songs. In the book How to Rap, Lady of Rage says, “When I worked with him earlier in his career, that’s how he creates his stuff… he would freestyle, he wasn’t a writer then, he was a freestyler,” and The D.O.C. states, Kool Moe Dee refers to Snoop’s use of vocabulary, saying ” he keeps it real simple…he simplifies it and he’s effective in his simplicity”. “Snoop’s rap was a one take willy, but his shit was all freestyle. He had written nothing down. He just came in and started busting. The song was “Tha Shiznit”—that was all freestyle. He started busting and when we got to the break, Dre cut the machine off, did the chorus and told Snoop to come back in. He did that throughout the record. That’s when Snoop was in the zone then.” Snoop re-popularized the use of -izzle speak, particularly in the pop and hip-hop music industry.
Snoop married his high school love, Shante Taylor, on June 12, 1997. On May 21, 2004, he filed for divorce from Taylor, citing irreconcilable differences.

Since the start of his career, Snoop has been a smoker, making it one of the trademarks of his image. In 2002, he announced he was giving up cannabis for good, which did not last long and in 2013, he claimed to be smoking approximately 80 cannabis blunts a day. He has been certified for medical cannabis in California to treat migraines since at least 2007. Snoop claimed in a 2006 interview with Rolling Stone magazine that unlike other hip-hop artists who had superficially adopted the pimp persona, he was an actual professional pimp in 2003 and 2004, saying, “That shit was my natural calling and once I got involved with it, it became fun. It was like shootin’ layups for me. I was makin’ ’em every time.” He went on to say that on the advice of some of the pimps he knew, he eventually gave up pimping to spend more time with his family.
Snoop is an avid sports fan, including hometown teams Los Angeles Dodgers, Los Angeles Lakers, and USC Trojans, as well as the Pittsburgh Steelers. He has stated that he began following the Steelers in the 1970s while watching the team with his grandfather.

Cordell played wide receiver and defensive back at Bishop Gorman High School in Las Vegas, Nevada, and received football scholarship offers from Southern California, UCLA, Washington, Cal, Oregon State, Duke, and Notre Dame. Cordell committed and signed a letter of intent to play for UCLA on February 4, 2015. On August 14, 2015, UCLA announced that Cordell had left the UCLA football team “to pursue other passions in his life”.
In 2009, it was reported that Snoop was a member of the Nation of Islam. On March 1, he made an appearance at the Nation of Islam’s annual Saviours’ Day holiday, where he praised minister Louis Farrakhan. Snoop said he was a member of the Nation, but declined to give the date on which he joined. He also donated $1,000 to the organization.

He released a reggae album, Reincarnated, saying, “I have always said I was Bob Marley reincarnated”. In January 2013, he received criticism from members of the Rastafarian community in Jamaica, including reggae artist Bunny Wailer, for alleged failure to meet his commitments to the culture. Snoop later dismissed the claims, stating his beliefs were personal and not up for outside judgment.

In 2012, Snoop Dogg endorsed Representative Ron Paul in the Republican presidential primary, but later said he would vote for Barack Obama in the general election, and on Instagram gave ten reasons to vote for Obama (including “He a black nigga”, “He’s BFFs with Jay-Z”, and “Michelle got a fat ass”), and ten reasons not to vote for Mitt Romney (including “He a white nigga”, “That muthafucka’s name is Mitt”, and “He a ho”).
In an interview with The Huffington Post, Snoop Dogg came out in support of same-sex marriage, saying, “people can do what they want.” In his keynote address at the 2015 South by Southwest music festival, he blamed Los Angeles’s explosion of gang violence in the 1980s on the economic policies of Ronald Reagan and insinuated that his administration shipped guns and drugs into the area. He endorsed presidential candidate Hillary Clinton in May 2016, saying, “I would love to see a woman in office because I feel like we are at that stage in life to where we need a perspective other than the male’s train of thought … and just to have a woman speaking from a global perspective as far as representing America, I’d love to see that. So I’ll be voting for Ms. Clinton.”
On May 27, 2018, Snoop Dogg set the Guinness World Record for the largest Paradise cocktail. Concocted at the BottleRock Napa Valley music festival, the “Gin and Juice” drink measured over 132 gallons and “contained 180 bottles of gin, 154 bottles of apricot brandy and 38 jugs of orange juice”.
