Snoop Dogg is a rapper (a musician who does hip hop music) and actor. He is most famous with the West Coast hip hop scene. He was born in Long Beach, California, USA on October 20, 1971. The reason why he is called "Snoop Dogg" is because his mother named him after a character called "Snoopy", because Snoop Dogg was a fan of the Peanuts cartoon, which has the Snoopy character.
