Calvin Broadus, also known as Snoop Dogg, is one of the most memorable rap artists of all time. He is ranked right up there with Jay-Z, Dr. Dre, and Eminem. Snoop Dogg is one of the more “gangster” rappers, growing up in the ghetto of Long Beach, California. So the majorities of his songs are deep lyrically and get you thinking. He really likes the attention of all of his fans. Snoop Dogg compares to other artists such as; Eminem, Busta Rhymes, Xzibit, Dr. Dre, and Jay-Z. All of the best rappers have done songs with him. His most memorable song I would say is probably “Drop It Like its Hott”, “What’s my Name”, or one of his older songs that everyone knows, “Doggystyle”. These were very memorable because they all had good strong lyrics and a hard beat to them. He turned himself into an icon by putting “Doggystyle” out on the market, because he pretty much invented the term and people fell in love with it and though it was hilarious. Not only is he an inspiring artist but he is also an actor in many famous movies including “Soul Plane” and “Starsky and Hutch”. I have seen some critic’s say that he’s just an over rated rapper and that he should have quit when he turned 40, but I disagree with that. I think that Snoop Dogg is a very good rapper and he is a big part of the rap game. Don’t get me wrong, there are critics that love him too and think he is great, not only a great rapper but he’s also very funny. Everyone that knows him says he’s a very generous man and gets along with people very easily. Overall, I think that Snoop Dogg is a very talented artist and is one of the best of all time.
