*Cordozar Calvin Broadus, Jr. (born October 20, 1971), better known by his stage name Snoop Dogg (formerly Snoop Doggy Dogg), is a Grammy Award-nominated American rapper, record producer, and actor. Snoop is best known as an MC in the West Coast hip hop scene, and for being one of producer Dr. Dre’s most notable protégés. He popularized the catch phrase suffix “-izzle,” a slang term or infix that had been in use for decades, but not nearly to the extent that it currently permeates the pop and hip hop music industry as well as general usage.
-Doggystyle is the debut solo album from American West Coast hip hop rapper Snoop Doggy Dogg, released November 23, 1993 on Death Row Records. The album was recorded soon following the release of Dr. Dre’s landmark debut album The Chronic (1992), to which Snoop Dogg contributed significantly. His musical stylizations for the album share similarity to those featured on Doggystyle.[1] Critics have praised Snoop Dogg for the lyrical “realism” he delivers on the album and for his distinctive vocal flow.[1][2] While recording the album, Snoop Dogg was arrested in connection with Phillip Woldermarian’s death; he was tried and acquitted in 1996.
-Despite some mixed criticism of the album initially upon its release, Doggystyle has earned recognition from many music critics as one of the most significant albums of the 1990s, as well as one of the most important hip hop albums ever released.[3] Much like The Chronic, the distinctive sounds of Doggystyle helped introduce the hip hop style of G-funk to a mainstream audience, bringing forward West Coast hip hop as a dominant force in the early 1990s.[1][4] As of 2008, the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) has certified Doggystyle quadruple platinum in sales, as it serves as Snoop Dogg’s highest-selling album. The record debuted at number one on the Billboard 200 chart, and sold 802,858 copies in its first week alone, which was the record for a debuting artist until Eminem’s The Marshall Mathers LP in 2000.Doggystyle is viewed by many critics and fans as a “hip hop classic” and is included in The Source magazine’s list of the 100 Best Rap Albums, as well as Rolling Stone magazine’s list of Essential Recordings of the 90’s.*

For those that dont know, The Twinz, known individually as Wayniac & Trip Loc, are a westcoast rap duo from the Eastside of Long Beach, in the LA county, California. The same place where Snoop Dogg was born and raised. The Twinz went to high school together with Snoop Dogg at Poly High, long beach, and has been homeys with snoop since. They first started rappin in the late 80’s with a group called “Perfection” , with other longbeach rappers Domino, Foesum (Dj Glaze, T-dubb, MnMsta). The Twinz are first cousins to T-dubb from Foesum, and former doggystyle records artist from longbeach E-White. In the early 90’s (1992-1993), they were hangin with snoop and warren G in the begining of deathrow records, as part of snoop’s entourage. The twinz can be seen with cameos in the film clip to dr dre’s “Lil Ghetto Boy” song in 1992, off dr dre’s chronic album released by deathrow records. Warren G later formed own label “G funk music” , and signed a deal with Def jam to release his debut album “Regulate G funk era” . Warren was initially going to released his debut album on death row, but was told that his album would come out once a whole bunch of other death row artists release their albums first, so he didnt want to wait so long to release his album, so thats why he inked that deal with def jam. Warren G then signed the twinz as his artists on his Gfunk music label, and were featured on warren G’s debut album in 1994 “Regulate g Funk era” . The next year in 1995, The Twinz release their debut album “Conversation” on warren G’s gfunk music label through def jam. The album was all produced by warren g , except 1 track which was produced by soopafly. The Twinz featured on a track from death row records in 1996, with snoop dogg and daz dillinger, titled “Too high (poly high) , which ended up being released on “death row’s snoop doggy dogg – greatest hits” in 2001. The Twinz were featured on warren’s second album on def jam, “take a look over your shoulder (reality)” in 1997, and the twinz were to release their second album in 1998 on def jam, which was rumored to be titled “Ringers” , but the album never came out.
In 2000, the twinz was featured on a track off snoop dogg’s eastsidaz group album, which they were known as “tha locs”. In 2003 & 2004, the twinz were featured on a bunch of tracks with snoop dogg , on his “welcome 2 tha chuuch” series of mixtapes. In 2008, the twinz were featured on snoop dogg’s compilation “Christmas In Tha Dogghouse” released as a digital album sold on Itunes. In 2009, The Twinz were featured on another compilation of snoop dogg’s, called “bacc to tha chuuch” , which was also released digitally through Itunes. Also in 2009, the twinz released in EP that was released digitally, and was also titled “tha loccs” , but with “snoop dogg presents” in front of it, and was produced all by Niggarachi, which is snoop dogg’s alias as a producer.

He began singing as a child in the New Hope Trinity Baptist Church choir in Clarksdale, Mississippi where his father (Daniel Lee Hale) was pastor. At the age of 16 he dropped out of high school in Long Beach, California and left home to join the United States Marine Corps, serving for three years. In 1991 Nate Dogg, his cousin Snoop Dogg,[2] and their friend Warren G, formed a rap trio called 213.
Nate Dogg made his debut on Dr. Dre’s 1992 album, The Chronic. Singing in what would later become his trademark style, he was well-received by fans and critics alike, and would go on to sign with Death Row Records in 1993. Nate Dogg was also featured on Mista Grimm’s “Indosmoke” with Warren G. Then in 1994 he produced his first hit single “Regulate” with Warren G. Nate Dogg was also featured in many Tupac releases. Then in 1998 after a tumultuous time at Death Row Records he released another album. The double album was titled G-Funk Classics Vol. 1 & 2 and was followed up in late 2001 with Music & Me on Elektra Records. Music & Me peaked at number three on the Billboard hip-hop charts in 2001.[3]
In 2002, Nate Dogg appeared on a celebrity episode of the Weakest Link making it to the last three players before being eliminated by Xzibit and Young MC.
Nate has found his greatest success not in solo projects, but in collaborations with other hip-hop artists. As of 2004, Nate Dogg has featured in and contributed to over 60 chart singles.[4]
After a number of delays and an original release date of April 2004, his self-titled album Nate Dogg is set to be released on Affiliated Entertainment Group on June 3rd 2008.[5] Nate Dogg has already begun work on a new project.
