Biography

Snoop Dogg was born in Long Beach, California, to Beverly (Tate) and Vernell Varnado, who was a mail carrier and singer. His parents were both originally from Mississippi. He got his name from his mother, who jokingly remarked that he looked like the Peanuts character Snoopy. Snoop is known primarily for his achievements in the music industry, as a gangsta MC. As most successful musicians seem to do at some point, Snoop Dogg has done some work in film. Due to the nature of his music and his related star persona, the primary focus of his film effort has been in urban drama and comedy. Unfortunately, the talented MC has had more than one brush with the law: he served a drug conviction prior to the start of his career as a hip-hop MC, just after he graduated from high school; and in 1993, he was charged with murder but was later found not guilty.

  1. Early training

    The D.O.C., the American rapper also known as Tracy Lynn Curry and a former N.W.A affiliate, showed Snoop Dogg how to build his lyrics by splitting themes into verses, hooks, and choruses.

  2. Big break

    A mixtape featuring one of Snoop's early solo freestyles over En Vogue's "Hold On" reached Dr. Dre by chance. The producer was impressed and asked Snoop to try out in 1991 for Death Row Records.

  3. Behind the camera

    In 2005 Snoop Dogg started Snoopadelic Films, his own production company. Its first movie, Boss'n Up, drew inspiration from his album R&G.
