"Murder was the case." In 1993, Snoop Dogg, aka Calvin Broadus, aka Snoop, aka The D-O-double G was charged with first-degree murder after a member of a rival gang was shot and killed by Snoop's bodyguard, McKinley Lee, aka Malik, who fired the shot while in the then 21-year-old rapper's vehicle.

The advertising landscape during the Super Bowl in the past years has been fairly steady, with numbers of ads oscillating roughly between 80 and 100, and total advertising time around 50 minutes.

For a few years Snoop's records failed to generate excitement comparable to that of his debut, but his carefully cultivated - and at times cartoonish - public persona made him a popular icon. His West Coast slang and exaggerated verbal tics entered the popular American vocabulary.

Even though he has many ventures that include a cannabis company and many different businesses. There is no question that his biggest investment was becoming the majority owner of Death Row Records. A legendary label that has produced some of the most important rap and hip-hop records in music history.

Snoop's prominent vocals on the hit singles “Dre Day” and “Nuthin' but a 'G' Thang” fueled a rapid ascent to stardom. His own album Doggystyle (1993) became the first debut record to enter the Billboard 200 chart at number one. While recording Doggystyle, Snoop was arrested in connection with a drive-by shooting.

The artist who revolutionized rap stardom way back in 1993, Snoop put gangstas on the pop charts. After the multiplatinum success of his debut Doggy Style, Snoop would remain a fixture across culture.

He was born Cordozar Calvin Broadus Jr. in Long Beach, California. His “Snoop Dogg” nickname came from his mother because she thought he looked like Snoopy from the Peanuts cartoon. He played piano and sang at his local Baptist church, before starting rap in sixth grade.
