Stage Name Stories: Snoop Dogg

Born: Cordozar Calvin Broadus Jr.

What's in a Name: Snoop Dogg was nicknamed "Snoopy" by his mom for his love of the 'Peanuts' comic strip. If the original Snoopy was, in fact, a little bit gangsta, 'Doggystyle,' we presume, was not quite what Charles Schulz had in mind.
