Snoop Dogg: Life
built 627 days ago
Nicknamed "Snoop" by his mother because of his appearance, Snoop often found himself at loggerheads with the law, as a child. He spent a good portion of his post high school graduation time in and out of jail. Music became his ultimate escape route from a criminal lifestyle. Snoop started by creating homemade hip-hop tapes along with Warren G, and Nate Dogg (the trio is known as 213).

In May 2004, Snoop filed for divorce and got further into the life that had been his childhood dream. "When I stepped away, that's when the pimpin' was really heavy," he says. "I was goin' to all the Players Balls." Eventually, he says, he took twelve women with him to one Players Ball and, at a ball in Detroit, won the Bishop Don Magic Juan Lifetime Achievement Award. But in late 2004, he said, some of the pimps told him to go back home to his wife. They reconciled and ended divorce proceedings, though it meant Snoop had to accept a different relationship.

Set in an inner-city landscape where every day is a fight for survival, SNOOP DOGG’S HOOD OF HORROR takes the urban nightmare into the realm of the supernatural and the bizarre. Take, for example, the tagger who’s given the power of life and death by a shamanistic stranger; the bigoted, rich white man who’s in for some nasty surprises from the people he loathes; the rap star whose skeletons come out of the closet — literally.
