What's up people? Today I'm going to tell you about the man who started making music in church. He was discovered by the famous producer Dror Dre and became an icon of gangstar rap. However, in the explosion of his fame, he was tried for murder charges, possibly threatening his great colleague with a sentence of 25 years in prison.
The rapper Tupa became strongly hostile to him days before his life was taken away by members of the same record company where he worked Death r called him a traitor and even went bankrupt but despite everything he managed to establish himself as one of the most famous and multifaceted rappers in the world. This is the historical story of the legend of the Rapper SNOOP DOGG
So we begin
Dogos was born on October 20, 1971 in a spicy area of Long Beach California under the name of Calvin Cordar Broadus Junior, however that was a very complex name and his mother called him simply Snoopy since the little one always saw that drawing and they had a certain similarity, from there evolved the nickname Snoop Dog. It seems like a joke but it is an anecdote. Snoop Dog's musical taste was forged in his childhood by the songs that his mother played at house parties that she held almost every day of the week but she also took him daily to the Golgotha Trinity Church, it is there that he began to make music.
He started rapping at about 19 years old. He was good at freestyle and did rap battles at his school. At that time, he also sold candy to earn a little money, leading a quiet life. Apparently, the fact is that when he left school, Snoop already belonged to a drug cartel. The candy became drugs, since he started selling weed and white powder, among other things. Because of his behavior, he was kicked out of his house, where he was given lodging. He was allowed to sleep.
Under their roof, while he was supplied with pieces of the illegal substance, the young man then moved to his car, where he kept his clothes and illicit products, but because it was parked badly, he was towed away. Since he was 18, Snoop began to repeatedly go in and out of prison for possession and sale of narcotics, as well as street fights between criminal gangs.
He seemed like a kid with no future, but he had this ability to talk like he was rapping, to rap like he was speaking, a unique flow. So, together with his cousin Nate Tog and his friend Warren G, he formed a rap group called 2 One3, with which they achieved some popularity at the neighborhood level.
