The king of West Coast gangsta rap has two show dates in Indiana in October. On Wednesday October 20th, he'll be performing with Janelle Monae at Elliot Hall of Music, Purdue University, 712 Third Street, West Lafayette, IN 47907, and on Thursday October 21st, Snoop will be at the Horseshoe Southern Indiana,11999 Casino Center Drive SE, Elizabeth, IN 47117. Showtime begins at 7:30pm for both dates. Tickets can be purchased at Ticketmaster.
Snoop started his rap career in 1992 debuting on the Deep Cover Soundtrack as a protege of Dr. Dre, he also appeared on Dre's The Chronic album along with Tha Dogg Pound which was a multi-platinum seller, but it didn't take long for him to be considered as one of the West Coast all time greatest. His first album Doggystyle dropped in 1993 on Death Row Records which was also multi-platinum, and he's been holding it down ever since. Snoop has not only collaborated with the top artist in hip hop, R&B, and rock, he has introduced artist to the game as well. The Eastsidaz, the LBC Crew, and Doggy's Angels were just a few of groups that we released on Snoops on Doggystyle Records.
With 11 albums under his belt, there's not much that Snoop hasn't done in entertainment. He has made numerous cameo appearances in movies, and television shows.He has hosted his own radio show in Los Angeles, and his own reality show series entitled Snoop Doggs Father Hood, which aired on E! Although Snoop has won many awards worldwide throughout his career for music, videos, even Stoner of the Year awards, he has been nominated 12 times for a Grammy, but has never brought one home.

I mean coming from NWA, I was hooked soon as I heard "187' I was hooked, and "B*tches aint sh*t" was like the anthem for young black angst...Snoop has never changed, the sounds and styles have changed but the Big Homie has been consistent....even the stuff he did with Master P was solid...a lot of people talk about Jay Z but overlook Snoop who has been in the game about the same time if not longer...Dre might have given us G-Funk...but Snoop gave us the Chronic...now pass dat ..homie..lol
