Snoop Dogg
Rapper, Singer, Songwriter, Producer, Media Personality, Actor
Rapper, actor and occasional co-chef to Martha Stewart, Snoop Dogg has had an amazing year. This summer, he carried the torch during the opening ceremony at the Paris Olympics, served as a correspondent for NBC, and performed with friend and longtime collaborator Dr. Dre during the closing ceremony. He also launched a gin-based cocktail with Dre, based on the duo's classic hit "Gin & Juice." With a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, an Emmy nomination, a plethora of BET and MTV awards, and multiple Grammy nominations, Snoop has earned just about every accomplishment the entertainment industry has to offer. He's also one of the most versatile musicians ever, way beyond his original stomping grounds of Hip-Hop. He's released funk, retro R&B, reggae and even gospel music. He plans to drop an album this December with Dr. Dre called "Missionary." In a recent visit on "Today Show," he announced an upcoming collaboration with country artist Zach Bryan. That same television appearance birthed another viral moment with Snoop joining co-host Al Roker to help with a “special Snoop weather report” that had highlights from "Stoner, Colorado, Roach, Missouri, Pottsville, Pennsylvania, and High Point, North Carolina." Snoop Dogg is hilarious, charming and adaptable — all crucial ingredients in the longevity that he's enjoyed.
