history: I love rap music. I recently bought an album from snoop dogg. Cool! Did you know his real name is Calvin Cordozar Broadus, Jr? lol yeah, that's a funny name for a gangster. Do you know what his debut album was called? I'm trying to buy that one too. Yes, it's called Doggystyle. Didn't he release a song about his murder trial? I'm not really sure, but he did release a soundtrack album for a film he was in called Murder Was the Case. That's crazy how he beat the case. Do you know when he first signed with a major record label?
knowledge: Snoop's debut album, ''Doggystyle'', produced by Dr. Dre and released in 1993 through Death Row Records, debuted at number one on both the ''Billboard'' 200 and ''Billboard'' Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums charts.
