Talk:Snoop Dogg

No Limit Records

Snoop Dogg is a Fagg Is this writer stupid don't forget to mention his stint with no limit records. That was a huge deal in his carrere beacuse it was his secound label and it was ran by master p who showed him a whole new style —Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.19.181.227 (talk) 03:33, 8 January 2009 (UTC)

You are right, this writer has completely omitted a lot of important info and made an unbelievable amount of mistakes. Paid the cost to be the boss was released after 3 albums had already been released with No limit. The "Murder was the Case" film was NOT about Snoop Dogg's trial, it was about a song from the "Doggystyle"

The timelines are wrong and Snoop Dogg's early years(213, first arrests etc, Warren G bringing him to Dr Dre) are not even mentioned. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 196.207.47.60 (talk) 08:31, 10 January 2009 (UTC)

Help

Can someone help with the Controversy section, I already did the section about his feud with Luke, and now it just needs everybody else he has feuded with on there. Mcanmoocanu 20:50, 7 March 2009 (UTC)

Does anyone know where I can find more information about Snoop's coaching certification and his youth football league? I think it would be good if this page provided more info to readers about that. I think it's really great that he's helping the community like this.--Omidshahbazi11 (talk) 05:29, 16 March 2009 (UTC)

Legal Issues

The Legal issues section is several years out of date and implies we are on the edges of our seats waiting for information from 2007. Don't tell me to be bold, the page is protected. 69.111.84.180 (talk) 06:33, 16 April 2009 (UTC)

The link for Sweden is broken, the link is wrongly for both the word Sweden and the word after.

98-04?

I just happened to be browsing looking for something and I noticed there's a big gap. It's like he didn't exists between 98 and 04 which is obviously incorrect. Is there a reason for this? --HELLØ ŦHERE 18:12, 16 May 2009 (UTC)

Nation of Islam?

How on earth is Snoop Dogg a member of the Nation of Islam when he's so open about his drug and alcohol use, as well as fornication? I'm not contesting that he is or that he claims to be, but anyone familiar with NoI practices will be scratching their noggins over this, and if anyone is aware of a notable source addressing the issue that would be great to include. Wormwoodpoppies (talk) 19:12, 17 May 2009 (UTC)

It's true, my noggin is bleeding after all the scratching I've done wondering about the relationship between Snoop Doggy Dogg's incessant fornication and Snoop Doggy Dogg's participation in the Nation of Islam. --71.205.219.29 (talk) 08:04, 3 January 2010 (UTC)

Visa

There are at least two instances where Snoop Dog's visa in referred to in a manner that leads one to believe the writer isn't aware what a visa is. One instance talks about his visa card being rejected when it seems they are actually referring to his travel visa. In another instance it says he is granted visa instead of granted a visa. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.80.38.47 (talk) 14:38, 13 June 2009 (UTC)

Age

Snoop's official birth date is 1971, he even said it himself in a documentary. So please stop putting 1972. mcanmoocanu we need a solid source like the documentary mentioned above to get rid of the madness

... even month of birth date seems to be doubtful:
intro and overview states 1972-10-20,
but section "Early Life" states 1971-11-20 ...

More names appear every day. Is there any way of limiting the list to those acts who are most closely associated? Is there any objective criteria we can apply?   Will Beback  talk  01:16, 6 July 2009 (UTC)

From the Musician Infobox page:

Associated_acts

This field is for professional relationships with other musicians or bands that are significant and notable to this artist's career.

This field can include, for example, any of the following:

• For individuals: groups of which he or she has been a member
• Other acts with which this act has collaborated on multiple occasions, or on an album, or toured with as a single collaboration act playing together
• Groups which have spun off from this group
• A group from which this group has spun off

The following uses of this field should be avoided:

• Association of groups with members' solo careers
• Groups with only one member in common
• Association of producers, managers, etc. (who are themselves acts) with other acts (unless the act essentially belongs to the producer, as in the case of a studio orchestra formed by and working exclusively with a producer)
• One-time collaboration for a single, or on a single song
• Groups that are merely similar

Do any of these acts qualify?   Will Beback  talk  03:55, 7 July 2009 (UTC)

High School

"Snoop Dogg attended Long Beach Pornography High School and transferred to Lindhberg High School and was later convicted for cocaine trafficking and served six months at the Wayside County Jail."

This statement is incorrect. Snoop lived near downtown, well outside of Lindbergh's catchment area. Furthermore, Lindbergh is a junior high school. Why would he transfer from a high school to a junior high school? That doesn't make sense. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.9.147.32 (talk) 03:55, 25 July 2009 (UTC)

Birth year

There seems to be conflicting sources over Snoop Dogg's birth year. I removed three references that didn't verify this claim, leaving two that state he was born in 1971. According to Allmusic, he was born in 1972. Has this been brought up before? — Σxplicit 18:40, 3 August 2009 (UTC)

Ad Speak

this part "February 10, 2009 – MTV and rapper, icon, record producer, entrepreneur and actor, Snoop Dogg today announced a first-of-its kind global deal that will bring the entertainers’ personality to television in a new variety talk show, “Dogg After Dark,” and his music to fans with a new album release and into the best-selling music video game Rock Band.[19]" let's reword this, i'd do it myself, if i were able to give two shits about the topic of this page173.48.62.136 (talk) 07:54, 19 August 2009 (UTC)

Snoop's Real Name

What is Snoop Dogg's real name? Is it Cordozar or is it Calvin? Somebody tell me. The King Gemini (talk) 20:20, 13 October 2009 (UTC)

Cordozar is his given name, Calvin is his middle name. — ξ^xplicit 20:45, 13 October 2009 (UTC)

Television/Film

"In 2001, Snoop lent his voice to the animated show "King of the Hill," in which he played a white pimp named Alabaster Jones.[citation needed]"

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0620240/fullcredits#cast - is that good enough for confirmation? Chainsoar (talk) 09:08, 3 November 2009 (UTC)

In 2009, he appeared on whatever the name of Martha Stewart's show is and made brownies. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Invaderblood (talk • contribs) 19:30, 8 January 2010 (UTC)

Hyperlink football position

Could someone please add a hyperlink in the text, for the high school at which he coaches football? Thanks. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Hendrixrocks (talk • contribs) 00:39, 31 January 2010 (UTC)

Personal Life

There is mention of Snoop being first cousins with Brandy and Ray J but why nothing else? For example, isn't Soulja Boy Tellem Snoop's nephew. And also I've heard The Dream was a nephew of his. Is it true? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.24.152.94 (talk) 18:27, 2 February 2010 (UTC)
