The Father of RAP : Snoop Dogg

           

                 To me, Snoop Doggy Dogg is the father of rap because of all the effort he has put in for Hip-Hop. Until now, still nobody has a flow like his, Unique and Funky style as his trademark. He is now a millionaire with his wife and 3 kids. He made a living from the streets in Long Beach, California as a Crips gang member.

                 Calvin Cordozar Broadus Jr or also known by his stage name Snoop Doggy Dogg, changed to Snoop Lion when he headed to Jamaica in early 2013. He started a Rastafari Movement and changed his name, made a reggae album and then also made a documentary, both the documentary and the reggae album was called Reincarnated. But now he is still in the excavation site producing a new solo studio album under his rap moniker Snoop Dogg.

                Heading back to the early days,  when he first started his career and how. He started in 1992 as Dr. Dre discovered him and they collaborated in Dr Dre's first album The Chronic (1992). By 1993, Snoop Dogg had released his first album Doggystyle under Death Row Records and also got debuted #1 on both the Billboard 200 and Billboard Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs charts, selling almost a million copies in the first week, Doggystyle became certified 4x Platinum in 1994 with hit singles like "Gin & Juice". Moving on, he has also starred in motion pictures and hosted several television shows including, Doggy Fizzle Televizzle, Snoop Dogg's Father Hood and Dogg After Dark. Snoop Dogg was also part of a rap group called Tha Dogg Pound featuring Kurupt, Daz Dillinger and Snoop Dogg himself. This all came from D.P.G.C (Dogg Pound Gangsta Crips), a group of all the 90's to 99's rapper in the West Coast.

               Now let's get on to why i think he's the Father of Rap. Started as a rapper but he has acted, has his own supermarket in the LBC, made his own G-pen Herbal Vaporizor, Plants he's own weed probably, he and Dr Dre in 2001 during the concert "Up In Smoke" they fought for the rights to let the fans in the concert smoke Marijuana and they manage to do it. No one in the Rap industry to me has done this much of things for the rap industry itself. He made a movement but not like every rapper doing a movement and making people listen he did things. He is one of the people who brought the West Coast to where it is now.
