Jimmy Kimmel will be on hand to honour Snoop Dogg. He will be joined by Leron Gubler, president and CEO of the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce, which administers the stars.
“Snoop is one of those people who can do anything. He raps, he acts, he hosts a television show, he cooks, and helps community kids with his philanthropic work. He is a man of the ages and we welcome him to our Hollywood Walk of Fame,” said Ana Martinez, producer of the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
Snoop is also known as a pioneer of the G-funk hip-hop sub-genre, which he helped popularise along with Dr. Dre. Throughout his career, Snoop has produced chart-topping hits like “Gin and juice”, “Nuthin’ but a ‘G’ thang”, “Drop it like it’s hot”, “Sensual seduction” and more.
