early years
Snoop attended Long Beach Polytechnic in high school, and his initial foray into public life was due to his involvement in drug trafficking, although a relatively small scale. Snoop was a member of a local Crips gang in Long Beach, the Rollin '20 Crips. In the three years following his graduation from the institute had many legal problems, becoming several times in jail. The older members of the Crips and the recruits were affiliated with the band's skill for many years to recognize the talent, both sporting and music, among its members, so Snoop was pressured to join the world of music and leave one hand drug sales on the streets. Later, Snoop recorded tapes home with his cousin Nate Dogg and best friend Warren G (stepbrother of Dr. Dre of NWA). Initially, Lil '1/2 Dead, Nate's cousin, was also part of the group called 213, named so because that was the then area code of Long Beach. This was partly in homage to the group 413 of Richie Rich, well known also by the then code of Oakland, California.

Success with Death Row Records Dr. Dre began collaborating with the young rapper, first on the main theme of the film Deep Cover, and then the debut solo album from Dr. Dre, The Chronic, along with other members of his former group , Tha Dogg Pound. Snoop's contribution to The Chronic was considerable; his rhymes were as present to Dre. The huge success of Doggystyle, his debut album, was in part due to his letter in The Chronic.
