9. Snoop Dogg
Made a huge star by his discovery by and association with Dr. Dre, Snoop took the music world by storm when he released his first album way back in 1993. Having released thirteen solo albums and eight albums where he was a part of a group, his music catalog is expansive without even considering his long history of guesting on the works of so many others. Graduating to become a personality who is well known to many who haven’t heard much of his music, Snoop has appeared in movies, been inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame and appears regularly on TV.
Today Snoop Dogg has become arguably the most user-friendly figure in rap and hip hop history. Perpetually baked, he seems to be having a great time wherever he goes as evidenced by the smile that seems to be a permanent fixture of his face but that was not always the case. The eighteen-minute short film and soundtrack, Murder Was the Case, which told the story of Snoop’s death and resurrection after making a deal with the devil is all the evidence some need to believe he runs with the devil. The fact that a couple of years later, the rapper was put on trial for murder also served to strengthen their case despite the fact that he was acquitted.
