One of Dr. Dre's most popular discoveries, Snoop Dogg is known for [[TheStoner championing marijuana]] and lyrics featuring [[GangstaRap over-the-top glorification of gang life and violence]]; he is credited for popularizing the slang "izzle," I.E.

His stage name comes from a nickname used by his parents, because he resembled the dog Snoopy from ''{{Peanuts}}''.

* {{Improv}}: Snoop is very good at freestyling lyrics. According to Music/TheDOC, all of "The Shiznit" from ''Doggystyle'' is freestyled:
-->'''The D.O.C.''': 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.

** In regards to his overall image, he zig-zags through both. He still plays up the thug image and he's usually portrayed as having a huge smoke cloud hanging over his head wherever he goes, but at the same time, he's started coaching a little league football team and appeared on ''Big Time Rush,'' a Nickelodeon kid's show. It's really amazing that he's able to balance the two ''at all.''
