Rapper Snoop Dog in concert
Cordozar Calvin Broadus, Jr. (born October 20, 1971, in Long Beach, California), is better known as Snoop Dogg (other nicknames include "Snoop Doggy Dogg," "The Bigg Boss Dogg," "Bigg Snoop Dogg," and "Snoop D-O Double G") and is an American rapper, record producer, and actor. Snoop is best known as an MC in the West Coast hip hop scene, and for being one of producer Dr. Dre's most notable protégés. His mother nicknamed him "Snoopy" as a child because of the way his eyes looked, and he took the stage name Snoop Doggy Dogg when he began recording. He changed his name to Snoop Dogg in 1996, when he left his original record label Death Row Records and signed with No Limit Records. Several of his cousins also became hip hop artists and Aftermath collaborators, including RBX, Nate Dogg, and Daz Dillinger. As a rapper, he is known for his “lazy drawl”—a slurred, distinctively calm, laid-back, and rhythmically-complex lyrical delivery. According to Soundscan he has sold over million albums in the US from the establishment of Soundscan (1991) to January 2006. His catch phrase is widely known as "Fo' shizzle, my nizzle"
