Today, he isn’t just known for his connection to gangsta rap and his hip-hop roots.
This is why he stopped rapping about death.
Snoop Dogg was no exception.

His lyrics often centered on these motifs, and they corresponded to his own issues with the law.
After a protracted legal battle, they were finallyacquitted of all charges.
However, his mindset and artistry underwent a change due to this.

Moving forward, he no longer rapped about death or murder.
But it wasn’t so easy.
“I was like, somebody’s life was lost.
My life was changed.
This is a real situation,” Snoop reflected in the Fatman Scoop interview.
“I have actual remorse.
I feel bad.”
