Born – October 20, 1971
Long Beach, California, U.S.
Got his first break from Dr. Dre and appeared on Dre's debut solo album, "The Chronic."
Broke out with his first album "Doggystyle," followed by "Tha Doggfather," followed by an album which received slightly negative reviews, possibly because it didn't have the word "dogg" in the title.
Became an international superstar, introduced the world to the term "fo shizzle." Thanks for that, Snoop.
Has appeared in movies and TV projects that are true to his gangsta roots, like "Starsky and Hutch" and "It's a Very Merry Muppet Christmas Movie."
May have smoked marijuana once or twice. We're still looking into that.
