Alternative Rap Dog Names

Introduction

There is rap, and then there is alternative rap. It is a subgenre of the once underground musical genre of rap/hip-hop, and it is unique as it encompasses a variety of styles and themes that are usually not found in mainstream music. Alternative rappers refuse to conform to the societal rules and the rules of rap. They do not care about gangsta or party rap, and instead intertwine their music with soul, jazz, reggae, and even folk elements, creating a new genre of music. Alternative rap developed in the late 1980s and is still going on, and some of the most notable acts are Arrested Development and the Fugees.

Featured Famous Dog with an Alternative Rap Name

Juelz Broadus

Back in the day when Snoop Dogg started his colorful career, he was known as a gangsta rapper. However, as years went by, he changed his approach to music and started incorporating other elements from other musical genres in his art. The artist known as the Doggfather and Snoop Doggy Dogg is also, you guessed it, a fan of dogs! He is a proud owner of a beautiful French Bulldog named Juelz Broadus who has the most unusual name ever.

Snoop got Juelz as a gift from Wiz Khalifa for his birthday. Having a new addition to the Dogg family sent Snoop in full dog mama mode, and he quickly made an Instagram account for his pup, often featuring him on his social media and posting multiple stories about the adorable doggo. Juelz has over forty thousand followers and seems to be living the dream, much different though than most Instagram dogs. Instead of being photographed with ice creams, sprinkles, and toys, Juelz prefers other, more luxurious things. Louis Vuitton bags, beautiful women, Snoop’s rap buddies, and rides in expensive cars are just a tip of the iceberg of this dog’s luxurious life. He always rides shotgun, eats at fancy restaurants, and frequents clubs with exotic dancers where his owner likes to spend his time.

Juelz is a massive fan of balls, especially basketballs, as he can often be seen kicking one with his cute head. He is friends with other, often huge doggos, and is definitely the cutest member of the Dogg family. We cannot say for sure, but Juelz may even have some musical talents, as he can be seen in music studios, probably working on his next EP. The pupper’s incredibly cute face blesses the feeds of his followers every day, as he can always be seen looking to the side, silently judging Snoop for his lifestyle choices probably. However, it is all worth it, as Snoop Dogg seems to be taking care of his beloved pet very well, pampering him every day and taking him everywhere he goes.

He is also quite a philanthropist, letting people know that they can help stray dogs by purchasing a specific bag of dog food. This is very important, as celebrity dogs often have way more than they need, while stray and shelter dogs go with very little. Using his dog’s influence, Snoop did the right thing by inviting people to be more mindful and help whenever they can so these poor puppers can also have a great life, just like his beloved Juelz does.

Alternative Rap Dog Name Considerations

As a fan of alternative rap, you know that the industry is full of amazing musicians who deserve recognition, but probably do not have it due to the uniqueness of their music. Mainstream is not friendly towards experimental artists who mesh various styles and themes together, so these fantastic musicians may never achieve the levels of fame their more mainstream colleagues have. However, as a true fan, you are spreading their music to your surroundings, and one of the ways to do that is to name your pupper after one of the iconic alternative rap artists.

One of the alternative rappers whose name you can give to your dog is K’naan or Keinan Abdi Warsame, a Somali-Canadian poet turned rapper, or Shing02, a Japanese rapper whose real name is Shingo Annen. One alternative hip hop artist who managed to break into the mainstream is an English musician M.I.A, whose real name is Mathangi Arulpragasam. Another famous duo is OutKast, with members André 3000 (Andre Lauren Benjamin) and Big Boi, aka Antwan Andre Patton. Your dog can bear the name of the gangsta rapper Snoop Dogg, or Warren G, or one of the members of the iconic group N.W.A.
