Event Details

Sleepy-eyed, slow-drawling gangsta rapper Snoop Dogg had no trouble getting noticed. His smooth, slurry and laid-back delivery has made him one of the most identifiable voices in hip-hop. He started as a pup under the wing of NWA’s sonic architect Dr. Dre, a visionary whose big funky beats defined West Coast rap. High-profile and mean-spirited rhymes on Dre’s The Chronic started Snoop’s rise, and his easy flow and grittily detailed lyrics made him sound like a hip-hop vet rather than the kid he was. That appearance primed the world for Doggystyle, his masterpiece and the first debut album to arrive at No. 1 on the pop charts. He’s diversified himself with reality TV shows and movie appearances, remaining in the public eye even when he’s not plugging an album. But it’s not like he’s lost his nose for music; Snoop remains a fierce creature onstage, and with that sinuous style of delivering a rhyme, he can still drop an undeniably hot single.
