Snoop Dogg, originally known as Calvin Broadus Jr., stormed onto the music scene in the 90’s, quickly becoming one of the most recognizable figures in the world of hip hop. Known for his smooth flow and laid-back persona, Snoop Dogg collaborated extensively with Dr. Dre, arguably the genre's most influential figure, resulting in some of the most defining tracks of West Coast G-funk. Two of his most notable music videos are 'Who Am I? (What's My Name?)' and 'Gin and Juice'. While the former showcases metamorphosis-inspired elements, with Snoop transforming into a Doberman, the latter is a remarkable depiction of the laid-back party culture prevalent in the West Coast during the 90s.
Interestingly enough, Snoop Dogg's 'Drop It Like It's Hot', directed by Paul Hunter, is a stark contrast to his earlier videos. This black and white piece is more minimalistic, focusing on rhythmic choreography, silhouettes, and shadows - a diversion from his conventional narrative-driven videos, showing how Snoop Dogg has diversity in his creative palate. In the slightly absurd and surreal world of Snoop, nothing quite takes the cake like his Guinness World Record for mixing the world’s largest paradise cocktail, done during his performance at BottleRock Napa Valley music festival. That's just a cherry on top when considering this artist's remarkable journey through the ever-changing landscape of music and culture.
