Early game

Calvin Cordozar Broadus Jr. Shiiit, dis aint no joke. started doin thangs up in Long Beach, California, ta Vernall Varnado n' Beverly Broadus (née Tate).[11][12] Vernall, whoz ass was a Vietnam veteran, thug, n' mail carrier, left tha crew only three months afta Calvinz birth, n' thus da thug was named afta his stepfather, Calvin Cordozar Broadus Sr.[13] His daddy remained largely absent from his wild lil' freakadelic game fo' realz. As a funky-ass boy, his thugged-out lil' muthafathas nicknamed his ass "Snoopy" cuz of his fuckin ludd n' likenizz of tha cartoon characta from Peanuts.[14] Dude was tha second of his crazy-ass motherz three lil playas yo. His mutha n' stepfather divorced up in 1975.[11] When Broadus was straight-up young, his thugged-out lil' punk-ass fuckin started rappin n' playin piano all up in tha Golgotha Trinitizzle Baptist Church. In sixth grade, his thugged-out lil' punk-ass fuckin started rapping.[15][16] As a cold-ass lil child, Broadus sold candy, served up newspapers, n' bagged groceries ta help his crew make endz hook up yo. Dude was busted lyrics bout as havin been a thugged-out dedicated hustla n' enthusiastic churchgoer n' shit. Broadus holla'd up in 1993 dat despite his crazy-ass mother’s dopest efforts ta keep his ass rappin up in tha choir n' playin football, his thugged-out lil' punk-ass fuckin started gang bangin n' hustlin tha streets[inappropriate slang] up in his cold-ass teenage years.[17]

Broadus would frequently rap up in school fo' realz. As he recalled: "When I rapped up in tha hallways up in dis muthafucka I would draw such a funky-ass big-ass crowd dat tha principal would be thinkin there was a gangbangin' fight goin on. I aint talkin' bout chicken n' gravy biatch. Well shiiiit, it made me begin ta realize dat I had a gift. I could tell dat mah raps interested playas n' dat made me horny bout mah dirty ass."[17]

As a teenager, Broadus frequently ran tha fuck into shiznit wit tha law yo. Dude was a gangmember of tha Rollin' 20s Crips gang up in tha Eastside area of Long Beach;[18] although up in 1993 da ruffneck denied tha frequent five-o n' media reports by sayin dat he never joined a gang.[15] Shortly afta graduatin from high school, da thug was caught at it fo' possession of snow white, n' fo' tha next three years, was frequently incarcerated, includin at Wayside Jail.[13] With his cold-ass two cousins Nate Dogg n' Lil' ½ Dead n' playa Warren G, Snoop recorded homemade tapes; tha four called they crew 213 afta tha area code of they natizzle Long Beach at dat time. One of Snoopz early solo freestylez over "Hold On" by En Vogue was on a mixtape dat fortuitously wound up wit Dr. Shiiit, dis aint no joke.

Musical game

1992�"1998: Dirtnap Row, Doggystyle, n' Tha Doggfather

When his thugged-out lil' punk-ass fuckin started recording, Broadus took tha stage name Snoop Ta Tha D-O-Double-Gizzley Dogg. Dr. Shiiit, dis aint no joke. Drizzle fuckin started hustlin wit him, first on tha theme cold lil' woo wop of tha 1992 film Deep Cover n' then on Dr Drizzlez debut solo mixtape Da Chronic along wit tha other thugz of his wild lil' forma startin group, Tha Dogg Pound. This intense exposure played a cold-ass lil considerable part up in makin Snoop Ta Tha D-O-Double-Gizzlez debut mixtape, Doggystyle, tha critical n' commercial success dat it was.[13]

Snoop Ta Tha D-O-Double-Gizzle up in 1998

Fuelin tha ascendizzle of Westside Coast G-funk hip hop, tha singlez "Dum diddy-dum, here I come biaaatch! Who tha fuck Am I (Whatz My fuckin Name)?" n' "Gin n' Juice" reached tha top ten most-played joints up in tha United Hoods, n' tha mixtape stayed on tha Bizzleboard charts fo' nuff muthafuckin months.[13] Gangsta rap became tha centa of arguments bout censorshizzle n' labeling, wit Snoop Ta Tha D-O-Double-Gizzle often used as a example of violent n' misogynistic musical muthafuckas.[20] Unlike much of tha harder-edged gangsta rap artists, Snoop Ta Tha D-O-Double-Gizzle seemed ta show his softa side, accordin ta noize journalist Chuck Philips. Rollin Stone noize critic Touré asserted dat Snoop had a relatively soft vocal delivery compared ta other rappers: "Snoopz vocal steez is part of what tha fuck distinguishes him: where nuff rappers scream, figuratively n' literally, da perved-out muthafucka speaks softly."[15] Doggystyle, much like Da Chronic, featured a host of rappers signed ta or affiliated wit tha Dirtnap Row label includin Daz Dillinger, Kurupt, Nate Dogg, n' others.

A short film bout Snoop Ta Tha D-O-Double-Gizzlez cappin' trial, Murder Was tha Case, was busted out up in 1994, along wit a accompanyin soundtrack. On July 6, 1995, Doggy Style Records, Inc., a record label dropped by Snoop Ta Tha D-O-Double-Gizzle, was registered wit tha California Secretary of State as bidnizz entitizzle number C1923139.[21]

Broadus was acquitted of his crazy-ass cappin' charge on February 20, 1996 fo' realz. Accordin ta Broadus, afta da thug was acquitted da ruffneck did not wanna continue livin tha "gangsta" gamestyle, cuz he felt dat continuin his behavior would result up in his thugged-out assassination or a prison term.[22][23]

Afta his thugged-out acquittal, he, tha mutha of his son, n' they kennel of 20 pit bulls moved tha fuck into a 5,000-square-foot (460 m2) home up in tha hillz of Claremont, California n' by August 1996 Doggy Style Records, a subsidiary of Death Row Records, signed the Gap Bandz Charlie Wilson as one of its first artists.[24] Dude collaborated wit fellow rap artist Tupac Shakur on tha 1996 single "2 of Amerikaz Most Wanted". This was one of Shakurz last joints while kickin it; he gots popped on September 7, 1996, up in Las Vegas, dyin six minutes later.

By tha time Snoop Ta Tha D-O-Double-Gizzlez second mixtape, Tha Doggfather, was busted out up in November 1996, tha price of appearin ta live tha gangsta game had become straight-up evident fo' realz. Among tha nuff notable hip hop industry dirtnaps n' convictions was tha dirtnap of Snoop Ta Tha D-O-Double-Gizzlez playa n' labelmate Tupac Shakur n' tha racketeering indictment of Dirtnap Row co-smoker Suge Knight.[13] Dr Drizzle had left Dirtnap Row earlier up in 1996 cuz of a cold-ass lil contract dispute, so Snoop Ta Tha D-O-Double-Gizzle co-produced Tha Doggfather wit Daz Dillinger n' DJ Pooh.

This mixtape featured a gangbangin' finger-lickin' distinct chizzle of steez from Doggystyle, n' tha leadoff single, "Snoopz Upside Ya Head", featured a cold-ass lil collaboration wit Charlie Wilson. I aint talkin' bout chicken n' gravy biatch. Da mixtape sold reasonably well but was not as successful as its predecessor. Shiiit, dis aint no joke. Tha Doggfather had a somewhat softa approach ta tha G-funk steez fo' realz. Afta Dr Drizzle withdrew from Dirtnap Row Records, Snoop realized dat da thug was subject ta a ironclad time-based contract (i.e., dat Dirtnap Row practically owned anythang he produced fo' a fuckin shitload of years), n' refused ta produce any mo' tracks fo' Suge Knight other than tha insultin "Fuck Dirtnap Row" until his contract expired.[18] In a rap battle wit Neil Strauss up in 1998, Snoop Ta Tha D-O-Double-Gizzle holla'd dat though dat schmoooove muthafucka had been given lavish gifts by his wild lil' forma label, they had withheld his bangin royalty payments.[25]

Yo, stephen Thomas Erlewine of Allnoize holla'd dat afta Tha Doggfather, Snoop Ta Tha D-O-Double-Gizzle fuckin started "movin away from his wild lil' freakadelic gangsta roots toward a cold-ass lil calmer lyrical aesthetic":[13] fo' instance, Snoop participated up in tha 1997 Lollapalooza gangbang tour, which featured mainly alternatizzle rock beatz.
