Now that's doggy style: Snoop Dogg thanks Snoop Dogg for his Hollywood Walk of Fame star
Aux News Snoop Dogg
Rapper/singer-songwriter/record producer/television personality/entrepreneur/football coach/Martha Stewart BFF/actor Snoop Dogg received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame outside the El Capitan theater on November 19. His is the 2,651st tribute to celebrity on the sidewalks of Los Angeles, and during his speech, the Doggfather wanted to thank the man responsible for all of his success: Tha Snoop D-o-double g.
Snoop has definitely earned some tangible appreciation for his career, selling over 23.5 million albums in the United States and 37 million albums worldwide. And since he seems to be the Susan Lucci of the Grammys with 17 nominations, an zero wins, the Walk of Fame is a big deal. So when it came time for Snoop to recognize the person whose hard work and tenacity paved the way for the honor, naturally, the artist formerly known as Snoop Doggy Dogg and Snoop Lion gave thanks to the most important member of his squad: himself.
Snoop’s been having a good year: His most recent album, Snoop Dogg Presents Bible Of Love, topped the gospel charts in March, and Redemption Of A Dogg, the semi-autobiographical musical that he’s starring in, has just finished up its autumn tour. His new cookbook (From Crook To Cook: Platinum Recipes From Tha Boss Dogg’s Kitchen) is available wherever books are sold, his GGN news show is coming soon in adapted form to film and television, and his game show (Snoop Dogg Presents The Joker’s Wild,) is returning to TBS next year.
And, if that wasn’t enough, earlier this year Snoop Dogg set the Guinness World Record for the largest Paradise cocktail: a “Gin and Juice” drink measuring over 132 gallons and containing 180 bottles of gin, 154 bottles of apricot brandy and 38 jugs of orange juice. Laid back.
The fact that Snoop is indeed a hard working man/bad MFer isn’t the only reason he has to shout himself out. While it’s true that anyone can nominate a celebrity for inclusion—including fans, the public figure’s manager, agent, studio, network, or the celebrity themselves, there is a stipulation that whoever does the nominating also agrees to be responsible for paying the $40,000 it costs to install and maintain the star. That’s why it makes sense for talent (or their family or studio) to nominate themselves —$40k is a lot of money, even if you have eleventy billion income generating projects like Snoop does.

wow this article has been up for some time and no comments yet?!?!it surely is a Ghost Town here:
I firmly believe that, at this point, there is literally nothing Snoop could do that would make him lose his cred.He hosts a game show on cable, he does a dinner party show with Martha Stewart, hell, he could star in Tooth Fairy 3 Â playing Larry The Cable Guyâs mother and he would still be cooler than Ice Cube.
Snoop is not cooler than Ice Cube. He has the âIceâ right there in his name.
Snoop can make whack music and Iâd still love him for it. If he wants to do a country records, why not? The man did call Johnny Cash the original gangsta. Snoop is cool 4 life!
A criminal thug like Snoop Dog getting a star on Hollywood Blvd. These truly
are the end of times. This guy was a criminal early in his career.
Selling drugs, stealing, physical hurting people and most likely
committed murder. Canât wait for Trumpâs American Revolution: Part Deux
Whatâs brown and rhymes with âsnoopâ? Dr. Dre.

…a âGin and Juiceâ drink measuring over 132 gallons and containing 180 bottles of gin, 154 bottles of apricot brandy and 38 jugs of orange juice. Thatâs ~4.74 bottles of gin and ~4.05 bottles of apricot brandy *per* jug of orange juice.Thatâs not âgin and juiceâ anymore. Thatâs âgin and gin and gin and gin and juiceâ.
