The real names of Snoop Dogg are Cordozar Calvin Broadus Junior. The American rapper and songwriter became famous for his song gangster rap during the 1990s when the West Coast hip-hop culture was at its peak. Most of the songs by Snoop Dogg were inspired by how he interacted with law officers early in his life. For several years after finishing high school, the rapper was in and out of prison before he started writing lyrics and pursuing his music career. His talent was greatly contributed by his interaction with Dr. Dre, a famous producer, when he was featured on Dr. Dre’s single song known as “Deep Cover” and in the album “The Chronic,” which was a landmark.

After almost thirty years since Snoop Dogg was known to the public for his wicked gangster rapping style, the rapper from Long Beach, Calif., has outdone his hip-hop roots to become culturally global. The rapper appeared in the new Addams Family film and has appeared in many other television programs and commercials, like when he appeared in a corona commercial. The rapper has also been featured in Martha Stewart’s show on VHI; he is involved in investment funding and keeps releasing more music for his fans. Compared to other celebrities, Snoop Dogg has avoided the risk of diluting his brand by remaining relentless in how he spreads the message in his music. He appears as a gregarious spokesman in every other brand the rapper has been involved in, but he remains persistent that racism is in the business world. The most important thing about Snoop Dogg is that he remains uninhibited by his status quo despite being famous and rich.
