His debut album Doggystyle sold 30 million records worldwide and he has remained one of the planet’s biggest rap stars since, being the only hip hop artist to perform at the 2005 Live8 concerts.

He has also enjoyed a successful acting career appearing as Huggy Bear in the Starsky and Hutch remake and providing a cameo role in the Oscar nominated Training Day.
