Snoop Dogg (USA)

This black man’s biography is quite similar to other rappers’ life stories – the same difficult childhood, the same drug and legal problems… He came all of a sudden. The sophisticated public was conquered by this young rapper’s special way of telling simple human stories in his songs, and his terrific sense of rhythm made him a sure-fire crowd pleaser. He received particularly high acclaim among hardcore rap fans. That’s the way the career of the famous rapper Snoop Dogg, who is regarded as a gangsta rap legend, took its rise.
