The public perception of Snoop Dogg has certainly come a long way since his early years in and out of prison and his emergence as a West Coast rap pioneer, beginning with 1993’s Doggystyle. While sentiments around hip-hop and cannabis have shifted in the decades since, Snoop has also worked hard at reinvention—while staying true to who he is.
