Tucson Adult Entertainment: Soundbites
After working with Dr. Dre in the early 1990s and scoring hits that are now considered old-school classics, Snoop helped put West Coast rap on the map, essentially finishing the job started by N.W.A. several years earlier. But he wasn’t content to stop there.
These days, there are essentially two Snoops: the rapper with the laconic, stoner drawl who moonlights as a self-proclaimed pimp (like, an actual pimp, not a figurative one) and produces porn videos; and the likable, charismatic Snoop seen on his reality TV show about his wholesome family life, the one who goes on Martha Stewart Living to make crafts and bake cookies, and the one who even your grandma thinks is darling. It’s a tough line to walk, and I can’t think of any other entertainer who has done it so successfully.
