What Stage
Erykah Badu (3:30-5:00 pm)
Known as the "First Lady of Neo-Soul", Erica Abi Wright is a multiple Grammy-winner, encompassing elements of R&B, hip-hop and jazz. Her first taste of show business came at just four years old, when she sang and dance with her mother at the Dallas Theatre Centre. By 14, she was free-styling for a local radio station alongside Roy Hargrove. She changed the spelling of her name to Erykah because she believed it to be her "slave" name. The term "kah" signifies the inner self, while "Badu" means "truth and light" in Arabic. Leaving Grambling State University upon graduation, Erykah worked several minimum wage jobs and taught drama and dance to children at the South Dallas Cultural Center. In early 1997, she released her first album, Baduizm, which debuted at #2 on the Billboard charts. Known for introspective lyrics and jazzy, bass-heavy sound, her sophisticated style drew many comparisons to Billie Holiday. She was at one time involved in a relationship with Andre 3000 of OutKast, with whom she had a child, Seven. She has collaborated with both the Roots and Common, whom which she also had a relationship with. She has also appeared in several movies, and even joined My Morning Jacket on stage in Dallas, for her song, "Tyrone."

Snoop Dogg (6:00-7:30 pm)
One of Dr. Dre's most notable proteges, Calvin Broadus, Jr., got the name "Snoop" from his mother, who had nicknamed him "Snoopy" because of his love of the cartoon, Peanuts. At an early age, Snoop began singing in Golgotha Trinity Baptist Church and playing piano, and in sixth grade, started rapping. As a member of the Crips in high school, Snoop was busted for cocaine and served six months at the Wayside County Jail. Over the first three years he was out of high school, Snoop would be in and out of prisons. Dre discovered him, when he heard a solo freestyle on En Vogue's "Hold On." Dre taught him how to structure his lyrics and seperate the thematics into verses, hooks and chorus. Snoop was with Death Row Records from 1992-1998, appearing on Dre's The Chronic and his own, Doggystyle. Since 2004, Snoop has been a part of Geffen, which saw his first single go #1, "Drop It Like It's Hot" from R&G (Rhythm & Gangsta).
