"SNOOP"

The “Snooper Adventures” design is inspired by Snoop Dogg.

He was born on October 20, 1971 as Calvin Cordozar Broadus Jr. The family lived in the socially disadvantaged part of Long Beach, California (USA). His mother gave her son the nickname "Snoop", derived from "Snoopy", the dog from the comic strip "The Peanuts".

As a teenager, he joined one of the big American gangs, became part of the Crips, and was arrested as a teenager for dealing coke. He later spent some time in prison.

At the same time, Snoop Dogg began recording music with his cousin Nate Dogg and Dr. Dre's half-brother Warren G and initially rapped under the name "213" - the area code of his hometown of Long Beach.

When he was in his early 20s, Dr. Dre took him under his wing and enabled him to enter the music business. He signed Snoop to his label "Death Row Records".

DO double G worked on Dre's album "The Chronic", one of the great classics of G-Funk. In 1993, his first solo album "Doggystyle" was released, which sold four million copies and stayed at number 1 in the US charts for 71 weeks. His two subsequent albums also landed at number 1 in the US. Over a dozen more followed... still counting!

Since 2002, Snopp Dogg has also worked as a music producer and actor. He has played roles in "Training Day," "Bones," "Old School," and "Starsky and Hutch," among others. He has also founded several companies and now runs his own clothing brand and a skateboard distribution company.



Headers:

"Snooper Adventures" is a tribute to one of the greatest artists of our time - to his path, his way of breaking rules (apart from the coke story - you don't do that), his stoner image and the intoxicating effect of the green plant.

Design background:

It's no coincidence that Snoop Dogg and dope are almost synonymous. He mentions how much he loves weed and how much he enjoys consuming it in what seems like every single song (several times), smokes during interviews and is also involved in various companies that deal with it.

The pictures of him lighting a joint backstage at Superbowl LVI 2022 in LA are legendary.

He also has a personal blunt roller whose sole job is to constantly supply Snopp with freshly rolled joints. To account for inflation, he reportedly raised his salary from $60,000 to $80,000 in 2022. Pretty fair.

Kevin Hart, among others, found out first hand how much he could handle. And he was both impressed and horrified.

"rolling down the street..." is a line from Snoop's most listened to song "Gin & Juice"

In any case, we wish you a pleasant journey, whether with Gin&Juice or whatever!

What kind of phone number is that?

In the USA, 1-800 is the area code for calling a hotline. The letters after it stand for individual digits. When cell phones still had keys, people wrote using T9 ("text on 9 keys"), a system for easier text input on cell phones without touchscreens. "out of space" combines the elements of the spaceship depicted with the journey intoxicated.
