In 1985 he started to get into cocain and heroin. Young snoop dogg finally stopped being in gangs and decided to become a pimp and MC at age 15. At age 23 he married lil boosie and got a new record label.

New info needs sourcing.

Dollabill3x added new information but did not give the source. Also the addition was overly long and convoluted. I'm just wondering if Dollabill3x is the same Dollabill who was mentioned in the added material? If so, this is a violation of WikiP policy.

For Dollabill3x, please find outside sources for this new material. Thank you so much

I want to mention something. The word Snoop is also a diss against Bloods/Damus. The name Snoop Dogg is literally a play on words such as bloods call eacthother dawgs and adding snoop would reference that your a Crip. So Snoop Dogg is a play on words that are gangrelated. Also not to mention Snoop Dogg is formally a Rolling 30 Long Beach Crip.Snoop is an older diss though and may not have much meaning as it did back in the 1990's including the crip diss ricket which is no longer used as I am aware of.

Surname?

How would you sort his name in a list? Under S treating it as a single (albeit two-part) stage name, or under D, treating it a a standard name? —MJBurrage^(T•C) 01:01, 26 February 2008 (UTC)

S, I think. Carl.bunderson (talk) 19:15, 7 March 2008 (UTC)

First Artist to Ever Release a Ringtone Prior to a Single

I'm not entirely sure where that information came from (seeing as I can't find any sort of source near it), but I'm almost positive it's incorrect as quite a few artists have done this. Two examples I can get off the top of my head are the bands Eighteen Visions and Linkin Park releasing the singles "Tonightless" and "What I've Done" (respectively) as a ringtone prior to the full versions of the songs being released in any format. Unless someone provides some sort of source that states Snoop was the first to do this, I think it should be removed. (74.243.198.147 (talk) 08:06, 7 March 2008 (UTC))

Added Singer

I've added singer to the article after "rapper" as in Sexual Eruption, he is singing for the most part, not rapping. Save-Me-Oprah^(talk) 12:52, 12 March 2008 (UTC)

"Izzle" origin

I haven't heard a lot of Gap Band songs, but I was under the impression they created the "izzay" slang, which Snoop also used in the early part of his career. Did they actually ever use "izzle"?68.164.85.197 (talk) 21:15, 14 March 2008 (UTC)

Music Samples

The music samples should be diverse in showing Snoop's talent. The way they are now, one of them is an R. Kelly song, the other two are pop crossover songs. There should at least one of his gangsta rap songs, since that's what he does first and foremost.68.164.85.197 (talk) 21:22, 14 March 2008 (UTC)
