Snoop Dogg Discography Tpb

Snoop's debut album, Doggystyle, produced by Dr. Dre, was released in 1993 by Death Row Records. Bolstered by excitement driven by Snoop's featuring on The Chronic, the album debuted at number one on both the Billboard 200 and BillboardTop R&B/Hip-Hop Albums charts. Selling almost a million copies in the first week of its release, Doggystyle became certified quadruple platinum in 1994 and spawned several hit singles, including 'What's My Name?' and 'Gin & Juice'. In 1994 Snoop released a soundtrack on Death Row Records for the short film Murder Was the Case, starring himself. His second album, Tha Doggfather (1996), also debuted at number one on both charts, with 'Snoop's Upside Ya Head' as the lead single. The album was certified double platinum in 1997.

After leaving Death Row Records, Snoop signed with No Limit Records, where he recorded his next three albums, Da Game Is to Be Sold, Not to Be Told (1998), No Limit Top Dogg (1999), and Tha Last Meal (2000). Snoop then signed with Priority/Capitol/EMI Records in 2002, where he released Paid tha Cost to Be da Boss. He then signed with Geffen Records in 2004 for his next three albums, R&G (Rhythm & Gangsta): The Masterpiece, Tha Blue Carpet Treatment, and Ego Trippin'.

Early life

Calvin Cordozar Broadus Jr.^[12][13] was born in Long Beach, California,^[13][14] the second of three sons.^[15] He was named after his stepfather, Calvin Cordozar Broadus Sr. His mother is Beverly Broadus (née Tate).^[16][17][18] His father, Vernell Varnado,^[17] was a Vietnam veteran, singer, and mail carrier who was frequently absent from his life.^[19] As a boy, Broadus's parents nicknamed him 'Snoopy' because of his appearance and love of the cartoon character from Peanuts, but usually addressed him as Calvin at home.^[14][20][21] 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.^[22][23] Broadus's father left the family when he was three months old. As a child, Broadus sold candy, delivered newspapers, and bagged groceries to help his family make ends meet. He was described as a dedicated student and enthusiastic churchgoer during this time. Broadus said in 1993 that he was a teenager when he began to associate himself with gangs; this was 'despite his mother's best efforts', it was once written, to get him to continue participating in the church choir and playing football, as he had been doing.^[24] A DNA test read by George Lopez on Lopez Tonight revealed Broadus to be of 71% African, 23% Native American, and 6% European descent.^[25]

Broadus would frequently rap in school and said that “When I rapped in the hallways at school I would draw such a big crowd that the principal would think there was a fight going on[;] It made me begin to realize that I had a gift. I could tell that my raps interested people and that made me interested in myself.”^[24]

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,^[26][27] although he stated in 1993 that he never joined a gang.^[22] 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 jail or prison (including Wayside Jail).^[14] With his cousins Nate Dogg and Lil' ½ Dead and friend Warren G, Snoop recorded homemade 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.^[28]

Musical career

1992–1998: Death Row, Doggystyle, and Tha Doggfather

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 partially because of this intense exposure.^[14]

Fueling the ascendance of West CoastG-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.^[14]Gangsta rap became the center of arguments about censorship and labeling, with Snoop Dogg often used as an example of violent and misogynistic musicians.^[29] 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.'^[22]Doggystyle, much like The Chronic, featured a host of rappers signed to or affiliated with the Death Row label including Daz Dillinger, Kurupt, Nate Dogg, and others.

A short film about Snoop Dogg's murder trial, Murder Was the Case, was released in 1994, along with an accompanying soundtrack. 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.^[30]

Broadus was acquitted of his murder charge on February 20, 1996. According to Broadus, after he was acquitted he did not want to continue living the 'gangsta' lifestyle, because he felt that continuing his behavior would result in his assassination or a prison term.^[31][32]

After his acquittal, he, the mother of his son, and their kennel of 20 pit bulls moved into a 5,000-square-foot (460 m²) home in the hills of Claremont, California and by August 1996 Doggy Style Records, a subsidiary of Death Row Records, signed the Gap Band's Charlie Wilson as one of its first artists.^[33] He collaborated with fellow rap artist Tupac Shakur on the 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 six days later.

By the time Snoop Dogg's second album, Tha Doggfather, was released in November 1996, the price of appearing to live 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.^[14] Dr. Dre had left Death Row earlier in 1996 because of a contract dispute, so Snoop Dogg co-produced Tha Doggfather with Daz Dillinger and DJ Pooh.

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 (i.e., 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.^[26] In an interview with Neil Strauss in 1998, Snoop Dogg said that though he had been given lavish gifts by his former label, they had withheld his royalty payments.^[34]

Stephen Thomas Erlewine of Allmusic said that after Tha Doggfather, Snoop Dogg began 'moving away from his gangsta roots toward a calmer lyrical aesthetic':^[14] for instance, Snoop participated in the 1997 Lollapalooza concert tour, which featured mainly alternative rock music. Troy J. Augusto of Variety noticed that Snoop's set at Lollapalooza attracted 'much dancing, and, strangely, even a small mosh pit' in the audience.^[35]

1998–2006: Signing with No Limit and continued success

Snoop signed with Master P's No Limit Records (distributed by Priority/EMI Records) in March 1998 and debuted on the label with Da Game Is to Be Sold, Not to Be Told later that year. He said at the time that 'Snoop Dogg is universal so he can fit into any camp-especially a camp that knows how to handmake shit[;] [a]nd, No Limit hand makes material. They make material fittin' to the artist and they know what type of shit Snoop Dogg is supposed to be on. That's why it's so tight.' [sic]^[36]

His other albums on No Limit were No Limit Top Dogg in 1999 (selling over 1,510,000 copies) and Tha Last Meal in 2000 (selling over 2,100,000).^[14] In 1999, his autobiography, Tha Doggfather, was published.

In 2002, he released the album Paid tha Cost to Be da Bo$$, on Priority/Capitol/EMI, selling over 1,310,000 copies. The album featured the hit singles 'From tha Chuuuch to da Palace' and 'Beautiful', featuring guest vocals by Pharrell. By this stage in his career, Snoop Dogg had left behind his 'gangster' image and embraced a 'pimp' image.

In June 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 1,730,000 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 The Hard Way in 2004. Debuting at No.4 on the Billboard 200 and No.1 on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums, it included the single 'Groupie Luv'. Snoop Dogg appeared in the music video for Korn's 'Twisted Transistor' along with fellow rappers Lil Jon, Xzibit, and David Banner,

Snoop Dogg appeared on two tracks from Ice Cube's 2006 album Laugh Now, Cry Later, including 'Go to Church', and on several tracks on Tha Dogg Pound's Cali Iz Active the same year. His song 'Real Talk' was leaked on the Internet in the summer of 2006 and a video was later released on the Internet. 'Real Talk' was dedicated to former Crips leader Stanley 'Tookie' Williams and a diss to Arnold Schwarzenegger, the governor of California. Two other singles on which Snoop made a guest performance were 'Keep Bouncing' by Too $hort (also with will.i.am of the Black Eyed Peas) and 'Gangsta Walk' by Coolio.

Snoop's 2006 album Tha Blue Carpet Treatment debuted on the Billboard 200 at No.5 and sold over 850,000 copies. The album and the second single 'That's That Shit' featuring R. Kelly were well received by critics. In the album, he collaborated in a video with E-40 and other West Coast rappers on the single 'Candy (Drippin' Like Water)'.

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, 'Snoop Dogg, when I worked with him earlier in his career, that's how created his stuff... he would freestyle, he wasn't a writer then, he was a freestyler,'^[89] and The D.O.C. states, 'Snoop's [rap] was a one take willy, but his shit was all freestyle. He hadn't 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.'

Peter Shapiro says that Snoop debuted on 'Deep Cover' with a 'shockingly original flow – which sounded like a Slick Rick born in South Carolina instead of South London'^[90] and adds that he 'showed where his style came from by covering Slick Rick's 'La Di Da Di'.^[87] Referring to Snoop's flow, Kool Moe Dee calls him 'one of the smoothest, funkiest flow-ers in the game'.^[86]How to Rap also notes that Snoop is known to use syncopation in his flow to give it a laidback quality,^[91] as well as 'linking with rhythm' in his compound rhymes,^[92] using alliteration,^[93] and employing a 'sparse' flow with good use of pauses.^[94]

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.^{[121][122][123]}

Claiming to be 'born again' in 2012, Snoop converted to the Rastafari movement,^{[124][125][126][127]} switched the focus of his music to reggae^[128] and changed his name to Snoop Lion after a trip to Jamaica. He released a reggae album, Reincarnated, saying, 'I have always said I was Bob Marley reincarnated'.^[129]

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.^[130] Snoop later dismissed the claims, stating his beliefs were personal and not up for outside judgment.^[131] Wailer is credited for giving Snoop the name 'Lion'.^[131]

Charity

Dogg partners with city officials and annually gives away turkeys to the less fortunate in Inglewood, California at Thanksgiving. He gave away 3000 turkeys in 2016.^[132]

Politics

In 2012, Snoop Dogg endorsed Representative Ron Paul in the Republican presidential primary,^[133] 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').^[134]

In a 2013 interview with The Huffington Post, Snoop Dogg came out in support of same-sex marriage, saying, 'people can do what they want.'^[135]

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.^[136]

He endorsed presidential candidate Hillary Clinton on Bravo's Watch What Happens Live in May 2015, saying, 'I would love to see a woman in office because I feel like we're at that stage in life to where we need a perspective other than the male's train of thought'^[137] 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 Mrs. Clinton.'^[138]

Following the deadly shooting of five police officers in Dallas July 7, 2016, Snoop Dogg and The Game organized and led a peaceful march to the Los Angeles Police Department headquarters.^[139][140] The subsequent private meeting with the mayor Eric Garcetti and police chief Charlie Beck, and news conference was, according to Broadus, '[...] to get some dialogue and the communication going [...]'.^[141] The march and conference were part of an initiative called 'Operation H.U.N.T.', serving as a police brutality protest in response to the police shooting and killing of two black men, Philando Castile and Alton Sterling,^[142] whose killing prompted nationwide protests including those that led to the Dallas killing of police officers. Broadus stated that 'We are tired of what is going on and it's communication that is lacking'.^[141] Reports of attendance range between 50–100 people.^{[139][141][140][143]}

Animal welfare

Snoop Dogg regularly appears in real fur garments, especially large coats, for which he attracts criticism from animal welfare charities and younger audiences. In a vodcast in 2012, the rapper asked 'Why doesn't PETA throw paint on a pimp's fur coat.'.^[144] In 2014, Snoop Dogg claimed to have become a vegan, although he was filmed wearing fur less than a year later.^[145] In June 2018, he performed at the Environmental Media Association (EMA) Honors Gala, while on the screens behind him, the logo for Beyond Meat was displayed.^[146]

Business ventures and investments

Broadus has been an active entrepreneur and investor. In 2009, he was appointed creative chairman of Priority Records.^[147]

In May 2013, Broadus and his brand manager Nick Adler released an app, Snoopify, that lets users plaster stickers of Snoop's face, joints or a walrus hat on photos. Adler built the app in May after discovering stickers in Japan. As of 2015, the app was generating $30,000 in weekly sales.^[148]

In April 2015, Broadus became a minority investor in his first investment venture Eaze, a California-based weed delivery startup that promises to deliver medical marijuana to persons' doorsteps in less than 10 minutes.^{[149][150][151]}

In October 2015, Broadus launched his new digital media business, Merry Jane, that focuses on news about marijuana. 'Merry Jane is cannabis 2.0', he said in a promotional video for the media source. 'A crossroads of pot culture, business, politics, health.'^[152]

In November 2015, Broadus announced his new brand of cannabis products, Leafs By Snoop. The line of branded products includes marijuana flowers, concentrates and edibles. 'Leafs By Snoop is truly the first mainstream cannabis brand in the world and proud to be a pioneer', Snoop Dogg said. 'LBS is blazing a trail for the industry.' In such a way, Broadus became the first major celebrity to brand and market a line of legal marijuana products.^[153]

On March 30, 2016, Broadus was reported to be considering purchasing the famed soul food restaurant chain Roscoe's House of Chicken and Waffles out of bankruptcy.^[154]

World records

Largest paradise cocktail

At the BottleRock Napa Valley music festival May 26, 2018, Snoop Dogg, Warren G, Kendall Coleman, Kim Kaechele and Michael Voltaggio set the Guinness World Record for the largest paradise cocktail. Measuring 550 litres (120 imp gal; 150 US gal), the 'Gin and Juice' drink was mixed from 180 1.75 litres (0.38 imp gal; 0.46 US gal) bottles of gin, 156 1 litre (0.22 imp gal; 0.26 US gal) bottles of apricot brandy and 28 3.78 litres (0.83 imp gal; 1.00 US gal) jugs of orange juice.^[155][156]

Reported volume and content

Time reported its total volume as '...more than 132 gallons, according to Guinness...', following with an embedded tweet by Liam Mayclem via GWR (the Guinness World Records' official Twitter account), showing a reply from GWR to its own tweet stating '[t]he cocktail contained 180 bottles of Hendricks gin, 154 bottles of apricot brandy and 38 3.78 litre jugs of orange juice...'^[157]

Mixmag, NME and USA Today published the same content quantities as GWR's tweet.^{[158][159][160]} with Mixmag reporting that '[a]ccording to Guinness the cocktail measured at 132 gallons.'^[158]NME states that the total volume was '...more than 132 gallons'^[159] and USA Today's European website states that '[a] Guinness World Records official was on hand to certify the record of the 550 liter cocktail.'^[160]

Billboard published that '...the concoction required 180 handles of Hendricks gin, resulting in a gigantic beverage...'.^[161]

Legal incidents

Shortly after graduating from high school, Broadus was arrested for possession of cocaine and for the following three years was frequently in and out of prison.^[14] In 1990, he was convicted of felony possession of drugs and possession for sale.^[162]

While recording Doggystyle in August 1993, Snoop Dogg was arrested in connection with the death of a member of a rival gang who was shot and killed by Snoop's bodyguard; both men were charged with murder as Dogg was driving the vehicle from which the gun was fired. Johnnie Cochran defended both men.^[163] Both men were acquitted, but Snoop Dogg remained entangled in the legal battles around the case for three years.^[164]

In July 1993, Snoop was stopped for a traffic violation and a firearm was found by police during a search of his car. In February 1997, he pleaded guilty to possession of a handgun and was ordered to record three public service announcements, pay a $1,000 fine, and serve three years' probation.^{[165][166][167]}

In September 2006, Snoop Dogg was detained at John Wayne Airport in Orange County, California by airport security, after airport screeners found a collapsible police baton in Snoop's carry-on bag. Donald Etra, Snoop's lawyer, told deputies the baton was a prop for a musical sketch. Snoop was sentenced to three years' probation and 160 hours of community service for the incident starting in September 2007.^[168] Snoop Dogg was arrested again October 2006 at Bob Hope Airport in Burbank after being stopped for a traffic infraction; he was arrested for possession of a firearm and for suspicion of transporting an unspecified amount of marijuana, according to a police statement. The following month, after taping an appearance on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, he was arrested again for possession of marijuana, cocaine and a firearm. Two members of Snoop's entourage, according to the Burbank police statement, were admitted members of the Rollin 20's Crips gang, and were arrested on separate charges.^[169] In April 2007, he was sentenced to a three-year suspended sentence, five years' probation, and was required to perform 800 hours of community service after pleading no contest to two felony charges of drug and gun possession by a convicted felon. He was also prohibited from hiring anyone with a criminal record or gang affiliation as a security guard or a driver.^[162]

In April 26, 2006, Snoop Dogg and members of his entourage were arrested after being turned away from British Airways' first class lounge at Heathrow Airport. Snoop and his party were denied entry to the lounge due to some members flying in economy class. After being escorted outside, the group vandalized a duty-free shop with whiskey bottles^{[clarify][citation needed]}. Seven police officers were injured in the midst of the disturbance. After a night in jail, Snoop and the other men were released on bail the next day, but he was unable to perform a scheduled concert in Johannesburg.^[170] On May 15, the Home Office decided that Snoop Dogg would be denied entry to the United Kingdom for the foreseeable future, and his British visa was denied the following year.^{[171][172][173]} As of March 2010, Snoop Dogg has been allowed back into the UK.^[174] The group involved in the incident have been banned by British Airways for 'the foreseeable future.'^[175]

In April 2007, the Australian Department of Immigration and Citizenship banned him from entering the country on character grounds, citing his prior criminal convictions. He had been scheduled to appear at the MTV Australia Video Music Awards on April 29, 2007.^[176] Australian Department of Immigration and Citizenship lifted the ban in September 2008 and had granted him visa to tour Australia. DIAC said: 'In making this decision, the department weighed his criminal convictions against his previous behaviour while in Australia, recent conduct – including charity work – and any likely risk to the Australian community ... We took into account all relevant factors and, on balance, the department decided to grant the visa.'^[177]

He was banned from entering Norway for two years in July 2012 after entering the country the month before in possession of 8 grams (0.3 oz) of marijuana and an undeclared 227,000 kr in cash, or about US$24,900 as of August 2018.^{[178][179][180]}

Snoop Dogg was arrested and fined for misdemeanor marijuana possession in Los Angeles in 1998,^[181] in Cleveland in 2001,^[182] and Sierra Blanca, Texas in 2010.^[183]

Snoop Dogg, after performing for a concert in Uppsala, Sweden on July 25, 2015, was pulled over and detained by Swedish police for allegedly using illegal drugs, violating a Swedish law enacted in 1988, which criminalized the recreational use of such substances – therefore even being under the influence of any illegal/controlled substance a crime in itself even without possession. During the detention, he was taken to the police station to perform a drug test and was released shortly afterwards. The rapid test was positive for traces of narcotics, and he was potentially subject to fines depending on the results of more detailed analysis, which were expected to be completed within several weeks.^[184] The rapper uploaded several videos on the social networking site Instagram, criticizing the police for alleged racial profiling; police spokesman Daniel Nilsson responded to the accusations, saying, 'we don't work like that in Sweden'. He declared in the videos, 'Niggas got me in the back of police car right now in Sweden, cuz', and 'Pulled a nigga over for nothing, taking us to the station where I've got to go pee in a cup for nothin'. I ain't done nothin'. All I did was came to the country and did a concert, and now I've got to go to the police station. For nothin'!' He announced to his Swedish fanbase that he would no longer go on tour in the country due to the incident.^{[185][186][187]}

In the Death Row Records bankruptcy case, Snoop Dogg lost $2 million.^[188]
