Back to "Trapped in the Closet" Characters

Snoop Dogg as Pimp Lucius

AP IMAGES FOR DORITOS

Hip-hop's resident P.I.M.P. Snoop Dogg doesn't have a stuttering problem like this "Trapped in the Closet" character, but the rapper can make up for Pimp Lucius' speech impairment with his "izzle" lingo. We first meet Lucius at church in Chapter 18 dressed head-to-toe in '70s disco pimp gear -- huge hat, long coat and bright colored suit -- similar to Snoop's character in his 2005 straight-to-DVD music film "Boss'n Up." Off the screen, Snoop has found his R&G -- rhythm and gangsta -- vibe working with R. Kelly on several tracks like "Happy Summertime," "Double Up," "That's That" and the more recent "Platinum," a track off Snoop's last album Doggumentary.
