Snoop Dogg is celebrating his birthday today and he shared a video of his grandkids singing "Happy Birthday" to him. Watch the video here. Snoop has three sons and a daughter: Corde, 30, Cordell, 27, Julian, 26 and Cori, 25. He has seven grandkids.
He also shared a post where rappers including 50 Cent and Method Man discussed his influence on the culture.
An Eminem quotes says "Doggystyle changed my life." A quote from Dr. Dre's speech from Snoop's Hollywood Walk Of Fame ceremony was included, and it's pretty powerful: "Snoop came to me at a very low point in my ife. I had just spearated myself from Ruthless Records. I had no money for food, I ddin't even have furniture in my house at the time. Then, boom! Here comes Snoop! A true diamond in the rough. I mean, Snoop is just pure raw talent. Nobody sounds lie Snoop."
There's a quote from 50 Cent saying, "I miss how important authenticity was... there was your record, your first album, Doggystyle, I watched it, and it was so important that you have your own style." That relates to something Snoop recently said in an interview with The Stephen A. Smith Show. When asked what advice he would give an aspiring artist, he said, "Be original. Right now there's so much copycatting, mimicking, sounding alike and imitation. Find your production, your sound: find your ear for who you are and be original even if it ain't hitting. Stay you."
