Appearance
The Columbine High School massacre was a school shooting that occurred on April 20, 1999, at Columbine High School inColumbine, Colorado,[2][3] an unincorporated area of Jefferson County in the state of Colorado. In addition to the shootings, the complex and highly planned attack involved a fire bomb to divert firefighters, propane tanks converted to bombs placed in the cafeteria, 99 explosive devices, and bombs rigged in cars. The perpetrators, two senior students Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold, murdered a total of 12 students and one teacher. They injured 21 additional people, with three others being injured while attempting to escape the school. The pair then committed suicide.[4][5]

Although their motives remain unclear, the personal journals of the perpetrators document that they wished their actions to rival theOklahoma City bombing, as well as other deadly attacks that occurred in the United States in the 1990s. The attack has been referred to by USA Today as a "suicidal attack [that was] planned as a grand—if badly implemented—terrorist bombing."[6] The massacre is reported as being "the deadliest high school shooting in US history."[7]

The massacre sparked debate over gun control laws, the availability of firearms within the United States and gun violence involving youthsThe Columbine High School massacre was a school shooting that occurred on April 20, 1999, at Columbine High School inColumbine, Colorado,[2][3] an unincorporated area of Jefferson County in the state of Colorado.

The massacre sparked debate over gun control laws, the availability of firearms within the United States and gun violence involving youths. Much discussion also centered on the nature of high school cliques, subcultures and bullying, in addition to the influence of violent movies and video games in American society. The shooting resulted in an increased emphasis on school security, and amoral panic aimed at goth culture, social outcasts, gun culture, the use of pharmaceutical anti-depressants by teenagers, teenage Internet use[8] and violence in video games.[9][10].

cousins Nate Dogg n' Lil' ½ Dead n' playa Warren G, recorded homemade tapes as a crew called 213, named afta tha Long Beach area code all up in tha time. One of his wild lil' fuckin early solo freestylez over En Voguez "Hold On" had juiced it up ta a mixtape which was heard by influential balla Dr. Shiiit, dis aint no joke. Drizzle, whoz ass phoned ta invite his ass ta a audition. I aint talkin' bout chicken n' gravy biatch. Forma N.W.A member Da D.O.C. taught his ass how tha fuck ta structure his fuckin lyrics n' separate tha thematics tha fuck into verses, hooks n' chorus.[15]

When his thugged-out lil' punk-ass fuckin started recording, Broadus took tha stage name Snoop Ta Tha D-O-Double-Gizzley Dogg. Dr Drizzle fuckin started hustlin wit Snoop Ta Tha D-O-Double-Gizzle, first on tha theme cold lil' woo wop of tha 1992 film Deep Cover, n' then on Dr Drizzlez debut solo mixtape Da Chronic wit tha other thugz of his wild lil' forma startin group, Tha Dogg Pound. Da big-ass success of Snoop Ta Tha D-O-Double-Gizzlez debut Doggystyle was partially cuz of dis intense exposure.[9]

Personality
To gin n juice tha ascendizzle of Westside Coast G-funk hip hop, tha singlez "Dum diddy-dum, here I come biaaatch! Who tha fuck Am I (Whatz My fuckin Name)?" n' "Gin n' Juice" reached of tha top ten most-played joints up in tha United Hoods, n' tha mixtape stayed on tha Bizzleboard charts fo' nuff muthafuckin months.[9] Gangsta rap became tha centa of arguments fo' censorshizzle n' labeling, wit Snoop Ta Tha D-O-Double-Gizzle often used as a example of violent n' misogynistic musical muthafuckas.[16] Unlike much of tha harder-edged gangsta rap artists, Snoop Ta Tha D-O-Double-Gizzle seemed ta show his softa side holla'd noize journalist Chuck Philips.[17] In fact, tha artistz straight-up track on his 1993 mixtape was a gospel-inspired tribute ta his crazy-ass mutha called Gangsta Life.[17] "It aint nuthin but bout how tha fuck mah mama raised mah crazy ass n' mah brothers on her own n' how tha fuck we gots caught up on tha streets...In tha cold lil' woo wop I give mah mama her respect n' yet I try ta show just what tha fuck tha wages is fo' lil playas not payin attention. I aint talkin' bout chicken n' gravy biatch. I ain't no gospel rap musical muthafucka, dude yo, but I gots faith up in what tha fuck I believe in," tha artist holla'd at Philips.[17] Rollin Stone noize critic Touré asserted dat Snoop had a relatively soft vocal delivery compared ta other rappers: "Snoopz vocal steez is part of what tha fuck distinguishes him: where nuff rappers scream, figuratively n' literally, da perved-out muthafucka speaks softly."[11] Doggystyle, much like Da Chronic, featured a host of rappers signed ta or affiliated wit tha Dirtnap Row label includin Daz Dillinger, Kurupt, Nate Dogg n' others. A short film bout Snoop Ta Tha D-O-Double-Gizzlez cappin' trial called Murder Was Da Case, was busted out up in 1994, along wit a accompanyin soundtrack. On July 6, 1995, Doggy Style Records, Inc., a record label dropped by Snoop Ta Tha D-O-Double-Gizzle, was registered wit tha California Secretary of State as bidnizz entitizzle number C1923139.[18]

Afta Snoop Ta Tha D-O-Double-Gizzle was acquitted of cappin' charges on February 20, 1996, he n' tha mutha of his fuckin lil hustla n' they kennel of 20 pit bulls moved tha fuck into a 5,000-square-foot (460 m2) home up in tha hillz of Claremont, California n' by August 1996 Doggy Style Records, a subsidiary of Death Row Records, signed Da Gap Bandz Charlie Wilson as one of tha record labelz first artists.[19]

But fuck dat shiznit yo, tha word on tha street is dat by tha time Snoop Ta Tha D-O-Double-Gizzlez second mixtape, Tha Doggfather, was busted out up in November 1996, tha price of livin (or sometimes just imitating) tha gangsta game had become straight-up evident fo' realz. Among tha nuff notable hip hop industry dirtnaps n' convictions was tha dirtnap of Snoop Ta Tha D-O-Double-Gizzlez playa n' labelmate Tupac Shakur n' tha racketeering indictment of Dirtnap Row co-smoker Suge Knight.[9] Dr Drizzle had left Dirtnap Row earlier up in 1996 cuz of a cold-ass lil contract dispute, so Snoop Ta Tha D-O-Double-Gizzle co-produced Tha Doggfather wit Daz Dillinger n' DJ Pooh.

This mixtape featured a gangbangin' finger-lickin' distinct chizzle of steez as compared ta Doggystyle, n' tha leadoff single, "Snoopz Upside Ya Head", featured a cold-ass lil collaboration wit Gap Band frontman Charlie Wilson. I aint talkin' bout chicken n' gravy biatch. While tha mixtape sold reasonably well, dat shiznit was not as successful as its predecessor. Shiiit, dis aint no joke. But fuck dat shiznit yo, tha word on tha street is dat Tha Doggfather had a somewhat softa approach ta tha G-funk style. Da immediate aftermath of Dr Drizzlez withdrawal from Dirtnap Row Records, realizin dat da thug was subject ta a iron-clad time-based contract (i.e., dat Dirtnap Row practically owned anythang he produced fo' a fuckin shitload of years), Snoop Ta Tha D-O-Double-Gizzle refused ta produce any mo' tracks fo' Suge Knight, other than tha insultin "Fuck Dirtnap Row", until his contract expired.[13] In a rap battle wit Neil Strauss up in 1998, Snoop Ta Tha D-O-Double-Gizzle stated dat though dat schmoooove muthafucka had been given lavish gifts by his wild lil' forma label they had withheld royalty payments ta tha artist.[20]

Yo, stephen Thomas Erlewine of Allnoize holla'd dat afta Tha Doggfather, Snoop Ta Tha D-O-Double-Gizzle fuckin started "movin away from his wild lil' freakadelic gangsta roots toward a cold-ass lil calmer lyrical aesthetic":[9] fo' instance, Snoop participated up in tha 1997 Lollapalooza gangbang tour, which featured mainly alternatizzle rock beatz. Drop dis like itz hot! Troy J fo' realz. Augusto of Variety noticed dat Snoopz set at Lollapalooza attracted "much ridin' dirty, and, strangely, even a lil' small-ass mosh pit" up in tha crew.[21]
