We may know Snoop Dogg with the tracks “Gin and Juice” and “Drop it Like It’s Hot” as well as his collaboration with Katty Perry in “California Gurls,” and some know him for his strong advocate for the use of marijuana.

But Snoop Dogg is more than gangsta and weed, as evident in his most recent releases.

Did you know?

Snoop is also very famous for his smooth and laidback musical style. He’s also said to be very soft in speaking- figuratively and literally.

This set him apart and later on, put him on top of other gangsta rappers in the 1990s.

Snoop Dog has always loved rapping. He began rapping when he was in sixth grade and has worked to nurture his gift ever since.

Snoop Dogg- or Calvin Cordozar Broadus Jr in real life- has musical cousins, namely Nate Dogg and Lil’ ½ Dead, and he soon began recording songs with them, calling themselves 213 after Long Beach’s area code at that time.

And that’s the start of something big.

One of Snoop’s homemade freestyles ended up in Dr. Dre’s hands.

Needless to say, the famous producer who’s also known as a discoverer of hidden talents, was so impressed that he called Snoop Dogg to audition.

The young rapper then studied how to structure his lyrics and write better songs under the mentorship of Dr. Dre as well as the rapper D.O.C.

Snoopy took the stage name Snoop Doggy Dogg and he began professionally working on some tracks alongside Dr. Dre., starting the growth of Snoop Dogg net worth.

The first time he gained some kind of attention…

…was when he worked with Dr. Dre on the theme song of the film Deep Cover in 1992.

Then they collaborated again on Dr. Dre’s debut solo album The Chronic alongside The Dogg Pound, his former starting group.

Suffice to say, Snoopy boy had great and successful exposure and soon enough, he’s releasing his own album!

Doggystyle, Snoop Dogg’s debut album, was a huge commercial success.

And it’s just the first among many that were to come.

As the West Coast hip hop and gangsta rap (or G-funk) genres were starting to dominate the radios, Snoopy’s singles Gin and Juice and Who Am I (What’s My Name)? We’re also dominating the charts.

But it’s not all rainbows and butterflies.

Along with the ascent of gangsta rap are the criticism being thrown at it and the G-funk artists.

Snoop Dog was often used as an example of a violent and misogynistic musician.

But as time went by, Snoop himself proved that he’s not like that.

According to a Rolling Stone critic, Snoop actually had softer vocals and delivery compared to most gangsta rappers in his time. That’s figuratively and literally, as he also spoke softly using not-so-harsh words, in contrast to his badass public image.

Right after his debut album release…

…Snoop Dogg wasted no time and founded Doggy Style Records, Inc., his very own record label registered with the California Secretary of State.

In 1996, Snoop was acquitted of a murder charge in connection with the death of a member of a rival gang who was allegedly shot by Snoop’s bodyguard.

After his acquittal, the famous rapper stated that he wanted to finally stop living the gangsta life, in fear of being imprisoned for life -or worse- be killed himself.

Bright idea, Snoopy.

The American rapper singer songwriter also moved his family and music label to a home in the hills of Claremont, California, and signed the first artist of Doggy Style Records.

Snoop Dogg collaborated with fellow artist Tupac Shakur in 1996 shortly before the latter died.

Before 1996 ended, Snoop Dogg co-produced and released his second studio album Tha Doggfather.

And that’s when the undeniable changes in the rapper became most obvious.

Snoop Doggy Dogg lyrics became calmer as he also experimented with a different kind of sound. His lyrics were calmer and the sound more aesthetic.

He had to co-produce this album as Dr. Dre left Death Row Records.

That’s also when he realized that Death Row Records bound him to a contract that kept him from getting his royalty payments for a number of years.

Snoop Dogg released yet another album called No Limit Top Dogg 1999 under the record label No Limit Records.

The record sold over 1,510,000 while his 5th studio album The Last Meal sold over 2, 100, 000.

And as another century began…

…Snoop wasn’t one to stop. In fact, he welcomed the 2000s’ by selling over $1.3 million copies of his album Paid Tha Cost to be da Bo$$.

That’s also when he decided he wasn’t really that gangsta…but that he’s actually a “pimp.”

Snoop started to collaborate with several pop artists such as Pharell Williams (for Drop it Like it’s Hot), Justin Timberlake and Charlie Wilson (for Signs), R. Kelly, Wiz Khalifa, and Katy Perry.

Turned out…

…Snoop Dogg had fun experimenting as he also ventured into singing for a Bollywood movie called Singh is Kinng, with the song of the same name.

In 2010, Snoop released his 10th studio album called Malice n Wonderland.

These religious changes influenced his music and songs greatly, such as the album Bible of Love.
