'''Madd Dogg''' is a character voiced by [[wp:Ice-T|Ice-T]] in [[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas]]. He is one of [[Los Santos]]' most well-known rappers. Shortly after [[Carl Johnson|CJ's]] arrival, Madd Dogg was at the height of his career, having just released his own line of clothing, as well as numerous other merchandises. Madd Dogg's career suffers a decline after CJ [[Madd Dogg's Rhymes|steals his rhyme book]] and [[Management Issues|kills his manager]], [[Alan Crawford]], in an effort to jumpstart [[Jeffrey Cross|OG Loc's]] music career.
'''Madd Dogg''' is a character in [[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas]], and is a rich and famous gangsta rapper from [[Los Santos]]. He is voiced by [[wp:Ice-T|Ice-T]], and was created somewhat in his vein as well as other big names like [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dr._Dre Dr. Dre] and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ice_Cube Ice Cube] of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/N.W.A. N.W.A.] (who are both very prominently featured on the [[Radio Los Santos]] sountrack).
 
Shortly after [[Carl Johnson|CJ's]] arrival, Madd Dogg was at the height of his career, having just released his own line of clothing, as well as numerous other merchandises. Madd Dogg's career suffers a decline after CJ [[Madd Dogg's Rhymes|steals his rhyme book]] and [[Management Issues|kills his manager]], [[Alan Crawford]], in an effort to jumpstart [[Jeffrey Cross|OG Loc's]] music career.


Madd Dogg experienced a period of depression, having given away his [[Madd Dogg's Crib|mansion]] in [[Mulholland]] to a [[Los Santos Vagos|Vagos]] [[Big Poppa|drug dealer]], and gambling all his money away in a [[Las Venturas]] [[Royal Casino|casino]] (whilst missing a concert). In a bid to commit suicide, Madd Dogg appears on the ledge of a casino, drunk, and [[Madd Dogg (mission)|threatens to jump to his death]]. With people in the crowd below taking bets as to whether or not he will actually jump, (and asking him to remove some of his expensive clothing before doing so), CJ saves him at the last minute by catching his falling body with a cardboard box-filled [[Walton|truck bed]].

In return for saving his life, Madd Dogg requests that CJ be his new manager. Furthermore, CJ makes up for ruining his career by seizing his mansion back and restoring his name in the rap industry. CJ and Madd Dogg pursue OG Loc to reclaim Dogg's rhyme book and frighten Loc into giving up rap and leaving them alone. At game's end, Madd Dogg's comeback results in a gold record. He is heard in both [[Radio Los Santos]] and in [[WCTR]], where he is heard about the news about him receiving his gold record and having his new manager, Carl.

*Despite him saying he gets his first gold record at the end of the game you can see gold records all over his mansion. He may be referencing the first gold record that the 'team' got together, though this is unknown.
*Despite him saying he gets his first gold record at the end of the game you can see gold records all over his mansion. He may be referencing the first gold record that the 'team' got together, though this is unknown. It also seems highly unlikely that he'd never had a gold record if he lives in such a large, expensive mansion.
*Madd Dogg's clothing line is called "Madd Tagg", and the shirt can be purchased at [[Victim]]. (Price=$36)
