Snoop Dog opens trading on Wall Street
Posted in Snoop Dogg on the November 17, 2009
Hip-hop artist Snoop Dog opened trading at the New York Stock Exchange on Wall Street.
Snoop helped out a global drive to lure young people into the business world.
The initiative is an annually run event titled the annual Mentoring Madness event in which he teamed with business leaders to give a speech on entrepreneurship. Snoop has taken a leaf out of his own book, moving into a business role as the new creative chairman of EMI’s Priority Records.
He was lined up to executive produce Priority releases to celebrate the label’s 25th anniversary in 2010.
Snoop rang the bell on Wall Street at the early commencement of trading.
Snoop Dogg not found guilty of assault
Posted in Music, Record Label, Records Deal, Snoop Dogg on the May 11, 2009
The rapper who was sued by a man attending one of his concerts near Seattle in 2005 was found not guilty of the charges set against him. Richard Monroe Jr., the individual who supposedly suffered extensive injuries during the concert sued Snoop Dogg for 22 million dollars, but received only 449 thousand of the sum and that from Snoop Dogg’s record label and other parties after the jury finally reached their verdict. It seems that justice has finally been served once more! So now it looks like Snoop Dogg gets his record label to do his dirty work for him. He’s one step closer to becoming a true “gangsta”.
Interscope Records & Snoop Dogg part ways
Posted in Record Label, Snoop Dogg on the February 12, 2009
Snoop Dogg has split with his record label of almost 10 year, the rapper has confirmed that since now onwards he will no longer release albums through Interscope records. Snoop started in 1993 under the label’s subsidiary Death Row Records.
Snoop Dogg has worked with labels such as Master P’s No Limit Records and produced 3 albums with them and briefly he was associated with EMI in 2002 before returning to Interscope. In all Snoop has dished out 9 Studio albums with the last one being Ego Trippin’ released in 2008. The reasons for the sudden split in not known.
Well what is there to be known, it is a simple calculated business move that the rapper has made. There are usually only 2 reasons for such moves, either better pay & better package or irreplaceable differences with between him and the bosses so what does he do, he walks out on them.
I seem to have figured this out quickly because the entertainment business is a tough place where people stick as long as it is convenient and thereafter it’s their own convenience that matters first.
Snoop Dogg Banned from Australia
Posted in Snoop Dogg, World Tour on the September 8, 2008
It looks like England isn’t the only place where Snoop Dogg is having visa problems. He can now add Australia to the list of countries who don’t want him. The rapper was refused permission to even apply for a visa to Australia back in 2007 because of his criminal records. Immigration officials recently cleared the way for an October tour visit until a bunch of public complaints came in. A senior immigration official said that “as a result of public concern and interest” the immigration authority will be taking a “more thorough assessment” of Snoop’s character. It looks like Australia’s going to be crossed off his world tour list.
Snoop’s Troop Gets Busted
Posted in Drugs, Snoop Dogg on the August 2, 2008
Sources report that Snoop Dogg’s tour bus was pulled over by police on Interstate 35, south of Dallas, on Thursday afternoon. Two people were arrested for marijuana possession. State troopers initially pulled over the bus for expired stickers and discovered some marijuana after a routine inspection. The rapper was not arrested but two people in his entourage were. The two members of Snoop’s dog pound were arrested and booked in the Navarro County Jail. Since Snoop wasn’t arrested, he was free to continue on with his tour schedule which had him performing in Dallas this past Thursday. It’s a good thing he didn’t miss it.

Posted in CMT Awards, Rapper, Singers, Snoop Dogg, TV Show on the April 21, 2008
He has a reality show, showed up to the CMT Music Awards looking like a Western vampire and now, Snoop Dogg is set to make an appearance on the ABC daytime soap ‘One Life to Live’ with two episodes featuring him scheduled to air next month. They apparently worked the rapper into a bachelorette party storyline where he’ll perform the tracks ‘Sensual Seduction’ and ‘Life of da Party’. It is also being reported that Snoop reworked the show’s theme and will replace the original theme on the two episodes in which he features. Snoop also reveals that he’s actually a fan of the show saying “I’ve been a fan of ‘One Life to Live’ since I was a baby. My momma always had it on the tube in the crib growing up. The opportunity to change up the theme song and give it some of my flavor will make the show the life of the party.â€
Doggy Heart Attack
Posted in News, Snoop Dogg on the January 21, 2008
Nate Dogg, the cousin of Snoop Dogg, has reportedly suffered what was described as a heart attack. TMZ obtained the 911 call that was made and the caller has to be the most nonchalant person to ever walk the planet. It almost sounds like she’s making an everyday call and not for a guy who’s life may be on the line.
Since the original incident, reports are saying that Nate actually suffered a stroke and not a heart attack. The 38-year old rapper is currently in a medical rehab facility recovering from the stroke but no other information on his condition has been made available.

According to KFDM, fellow rappers Jay-Z and Snoop Dogg planned on attending but did not show up. His one time collaborator C-Murder wasn’t able to show up either as he is currently on house arrest awaiting a murder retrial.
John Mayer is Gangsta
Posted in John Mayer, Music, Music People, Performance, Rap Music, Rock, Rumor, Singers, Snoop Dogg, Song on the December 13, 2007
Who knew that John Mayer has it in him to be a gangsta? He’s a closet Snoop Dogg fan!
Paparazzi caught up with the ever-eccentric crooner as he left a party at the Chateau Marmont on Monday. He was pimpin’ in the passenger seat of a black Mercedes as a Snoop rhyme was blasting from the speakers.
In a poor attempt to avoid answering any pap questions, John actually pulled a Paris Hilton by talking on a cell phone. But he actually one-ups the blonde socialite by having a phone at each ear! How would it even be possible to carry a conversation on two phones with people screaming questions at you?
