Calvin Cordozar Broadus, Jr. (born October 20, 1971), [[StageNames better known as]] Snoop Dogg, is an American rapper and record producer. One of Music/DrDre's most popular discoveries, Snoop Dogg is known for lyrics that [[TheStoner champion marijuana]] and feature [[GangstaRap over-the-top depictions of gang life and violence]], as well as popularizing the slang "izzle" (i.e. "fo' shizzle, my nizzle")[[note]]the term was ''introduced'' to hip-hop by E-40, however[[/note]]. His stage name comes from a nickname used by his parents, because they thought he resembled Snoopy the dog from ''Franchise/{{Peanuts}}''.

Snoop made a huge impact on HipHop fans as a contributor to Dre's classic album ''The Chronic'', and soon released his debut solo album ''Doggystyle''. After being cleared of charges over his bodyguard's 1993 murder of Philip Woldemariam, he switched from [[Creator/DeathRowRecords Death Row]] to No Limit Records in 1996, then to Priority in 2002, and Geffen in 2004. Between 2003 and 2004, he actually was, no joke, a '''professional pimp''', and this persona carried over to his music persona. In 2009, Snoop became chairman of Priority Records.

He has also branched out into other genres under different monikers. While he keeps Snoop Dogg as his hip hop moniker, he released a reggae album as Snoop Lion, a techno album as DJ Snoopadelic, and under the name Snoopzilla he made a funk group with Dâm-Funk called 7 Days of Funk, where they released a self-titled album.

Snoop Dogg is notable for just how prolific he is. He's said he'll appear in just about anything and give his professional best as long as he gets paid. He also loves working with friends and people he respects artistically for the chance to collaborate and hang out.

People he's collaborated with include, but are not limited to, [[Music/CypressHill B-Real]], Bow Wow, Music/InsaneClownPosse, Music/PharrellWilliams, Music/LimpBizkit, Music/{{The Game|Rapper}}, Music/{{Robyn}}, Music/{{Gorillaz}}, Music/BigTimeRush, Music/KatyPerry, Wiz Khalifa, The Chainsmokers, Music/{{PSY}}, Music/{{The Black Eyed Peas}} and Jason Derulo. He also played Moses on ''WebVideo/EpicRapBattlesOfHistory'', did a song for ''[[VideoGame/{{Tekken}} Tekken Tag Tournament 2]]'', and has also been hosting and executive-producing a revival of the game show ''Series/TheJokersWild'' for Creator/{{TBS}}. He even co-hosted the 2021 Series/PuppyBowl with [[OddFriendship good friend]] Martha Stewart. Also, all of this isn't counting the numerous commercials he's done [[AdamWesting as himself]], or his appearances in movies and video games.

* TheStoner: Especially notable since he makes absolutely no effort to hide it, and for the most part really doesn't seem to care. He even has his own line of cannabis products.
