Calvin Cordozar Broadus, Jr. (born October 20, 1971), better known by his stage name Snoop Dogg (formerly known as Snoop Doggy Dogg), is an American rapper, record producer, and actor. Snoop is best known as a rapper in the West Coast hip hop scene, and for being one of Dr. Dre's most notable protégés. Snoop Dogg was a Crip gang member while in high school. Shortly after graduation, he was arrested for cocaine possession and spent six months in Wayside County Jail. His music career began in 1992 after his release when he was discovered by Dr. Dre. He collaborated on several tracks on Dre's solo debut, The Chronic and on the titular theme song to the film Deep Cover.
Snoop's debut album Doggystyle, was released in 1993 under Death Row Records making a debut at No.1 on both the Billboard 200 and R&B charts. Selling almost a million copies in the first week of its release, Doggystyle quickly became certified 4× platinum in 1994 and spawned several hit singles, including "What's My Name" and "Gin & Juice". In 1994, Snoop released a soundtrack on Death Row Records for the short film Murder Was The Case, starring himself. In early 1996, Snoop Dogg was cleared of charges over his bodyguard's 1993 murder of Philip Woldemariam. His second album, late 1996's Tha Doggfather, also debuted at No.1 on both charts with "Snoop's Upside Ya Head" as the lead single. The album sold only half as well, being certified double platinum in 1997.
Yeah,
The East-Sidaz at it once again,
Petey Pete,
Xtacee,
It's the new movement nigga,
[Chorus 2x Petey Pete]
Mothafucka,
It's the E to the A to the S to the T,
You'll get shot, if you messin wit me,
I'm the best can't you see,
Niggas stressed because we,
Got this mothafucka locked,
TNM's on top,
[Xtacee]
I don't like getting, disrespected,
Do something and think you can hide, I have corrupt detectives,
I'll find you and when I do, your ass is done,
I'll shoot you right in the back, when you jumpin sayin you won,
And the beef's not squashed, it's too late,
Then I'm gonna have your whole family's heads on a plate,
I walk around herbin you fags,
And don't try to act hard, wit ya fuckin pussy ass du-rags,
And you think I fight dirty, I don't care,
I'll fight all your pussy asses, at the Greek fair,
My rhymes will kill you cause I have so much sorrow,
And I do more damage than the 'Day After Tomorrow',
[Chorus 2x Petey Pete]
[Petey Pete]
Listen up mothafuckas,
Everybody's lovin my shit,
The niggas all on my whip, the bitches all on my dick,
And like Dre, I'm makin beats but I'm younger,
And besides the sun, my album's another source of heat for the summer,
My crew's full of niggas wit attitudes,
We don't know how to lose, we'll leave your ass with more than black and blues,
If I don't like you, I'm comin up ready to fight you,
Pull you to a glass window, and I'll put your ass right through,
All you fuckin niggas, gettin shitted on,
Walk through Queens with my fitted on, screamin 'let's get it on',
Walkin tough, hooked wit ma guns,
One wrong look, I'll shoot you till your fuckin body look like a sponge,
Nigga,
You wanna slam me, and if it's beef I'm comin handy,
Whether I'm in a Benz or a Camry,
Niggas playin talkin shit games,
Like my neighbor, I made him buy new pants, his old ones have shit stains,
On the boulevard, lookin hard, niggas wanna grill,
Them niggas better chill, cause them niggas gettin killed,
This shit's head, and if you wanna make our cliques meet,
I'm on 34th Ave. and 146th street,
Mothafucka,
[Chorus 2x Petey Pete]
Yeah,
Once again,
Petey Pete and Xtacee,
