Produced by Dr. Dre, "Gin and Juice". Performed by Snoop Dogg and David Ruffin Jr. The hook was written by Dr. Dre and David Ruffin Jr which contained an interpolation of Slave's "Watching You" (the chorus) and an original bassline created by T. Green. Additional vocalists on the song include Dat Nigga Daz, Jewell, Heney Loc, and Sean "Barney" Thomas. Unusual for a hip-hop song, "Gin and Juice" has been covered by other groups, including alternative country group The Gourds in 1996, lounge singer Richard Cheese in 2004, and comedians Naked Trucker and T-Bones in 2007.
There has been much speculation as to the flavour of juice referred to in the title. Many believe it to be apple or orange; however, some have suggested less common juices, such as pineapple. Snoop Dogg has refused to comment on this.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Intro: Dre
*Peeing*
Heah hah hah!
I'm serious nigga one of y'all niggaz got this ass motherfuckin up
Study long, study wrong nigga
Verse One: Snoop
With so much drama in the L-B-C
It's kinda hard bein Snoop D-O-double-G
But I, somehow, some way
Keep comin up with funky ass shit like every single day
May I, kick a little something for the G's (yeah)
and, make a few ends as (yeah!) I breeze, through
Two in the mornin and the party's still jumpin
cause my momma ain't home
I got bitches in the living room gettin it on
and, they ain't leavin til six in the mornin (six in the mornin)
So what you wanna do, sheeeit
I got a pocket full of rubbers and my homeboys do too
So turn off the lights and close the doors
But (but what) we don't love them hoes, yeah!
So we gonna smoke a ounce to this
G's up, hoes down, while you motherfuckers bounce to this
Chorus: repeat 2X
Rollin down the street, smokin endo, sippin on gin and juice
Laid back [with my mind on my money and my money on my mind]
Verse Two:
Now, that, I got me some Seagram's gin
Everybody got they cups, but they ain't chipped in
Now this types of shit, happens all the time
You got to get yours but fool I gotta get mine
Everything is fine when you listenin to the D-O-G
I got the cultivating music that be captivating he
who listens, to the words that I speak
As I take me a drink to the middle of the street
and get to mackin to this bitch named Sadie (Sadie?)
She used to be the homeboy's lady (Oh, that bitch)
Eighty degrees, when I tell that bitch please
Raise up off these N-U-T's, bitch you gets none of these
At ease, as I mob with the Dogg Pound, feel the breeze
beeeitch, I'm just
Chorus
Verse Three:
Later on that day
My homey Dr. Dre came through with a gang of Tanqueray
And a fat ass J, of some bubonic chronic that made me choke
Shit, this ain't no joke
I had to back up off of it and sit my cup down
Tanqueray and chronic, yeah I'm fucked up now
But it ain't no stoppin, I'm still poppin
Dre got some bitches from the city of Compton
To serve me, not with a cherry on top
Cause when I bust my nut, I'm raisin up off the cot
Don't get upset girl, that's just how it goes
I don't love you hoes, I'm out the do'
And I'll be
Chorus
Rollin down the street, smokin endo, sippin on gin and juice (beeotch!!)
Laid back [with my mind on my money and my money on my mind]
Rollin down the street, smokin endo, sippin on gin and juice (beeotch!!)
Laid back [with my mind on my money and my money on my mind]
The song Gin and Juice by Snoop Dogg, featuring Daz Dillinger, is a classic gangsta rap that depicts the laid-back, hedonistic lifestyle of living in Long Beach, California. The songβs intro, spoken by Dr. Dre, sets the scene for a wild party, with him jokingly calling out someone for peeing and encouraging them to grab some bubblegum. Snoop's lyrics focus on the fun and carefree lifestyle of being a gangster, cruising the streets in a lowrider, smoking weed, and drinking gin and juice.
The hook of the song is a catchy chorus that is repeated twice and has entered the pop culture lexicon with the opening line βRollinβ down the street, smokin' indo, sippin' on gin and juice, laid backβ¦β The song also features a hilarious verse where Snoop encounters his homeboyβs ex-girlfriend, Sadie, and has to tell her to back off his nuts. The songβs theme of sexual indulgence and a disregard for authority was popularized in the 90s, and Snoopβs cool and relaxed delivery made him a breakout star in the West Coast hip-hop scene.
Overall, the song Gin and Juice is an anthem of the party lifestyle during the early '90s, where alcohol, drugs, and sex were the main priority. The song is one of Snoop Dogg's biggest hits and is a staple of gangsta rap to this day.

Later on that day
Later that day
My homey Dr. Dre came through with a gang of Tanqueray
My friend Dr. Dre came over with a lot of Tanqueray gin
And a fat ass J, of some bubonic chronic that made me choke
And a big joint of very strong marijuana that made me cough
Shit, this ain't no joke
This is serious
I had to back up off of it and sit my cup down
I had to stop smoking and put my cup away
Tanqueray and chronic, yeah I'm fucked up now
Drinking Tanqueray and smoking marijuana has me very intoxicated now
But it ain't no stoppin, I'm still poppin
But I'm not stopping, I'm still partying
Dre got some bitches from the city of Compton
Dr. Dre brought some women from Compton
To serve me, not with a cherry on top
To serve me, but not in a sweet or desirable manner
Cause when I bust my nut, I'm raisin up off the cot
Because when I orgasm, I get up immediately
Don't get upset girl, that's just how it goes
Don't be upset, that's just how things are
I don't love you hoes, I'm out the do'
I don't have feelings for these women, I'm leaving
Rollin down the street, smokin endo, sippin on gin and juice (beeotch!!)
Driving down the street, smoking marijuana, drinking gin and juice (bitch!!)
Laid back [with my mind on my money and my money on my mind]
Relaxed, but focused on making and keeping money
