Snoop's debut album, Doggystyle, produced by Dr. Dre and released in 1993 by Death Row Records, debuted at number one on both the Billboard 200 and Billboard Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums charts. Selling almost a million copies in the first week of its release, Doggystyle became certified 4× platinum in 1994 and spawned several hit singles, including "What's My Name?" and "Gin & Juice". In 1994 Snoop released a soundtrack on Death Row Records for the short film Murder Was the Case, starring himself. His second album, Tha Doggfather (1996), also debuted at number one on both charts, with "Snoop's Upside Ya Head" as the lead single. The album was certified double platinum in 1997.
After leaving Death Row Records, Snoop signed with No Limit Records, where he recorded his next three albums, Da Game Is to Be Sold, Not to Be Told (1998), No Limit Top Dogg (1999), and Tha Last Meal (2000). Snoop then signed with Priority/Capitol/EMI Records in 2002, where he released Paid tha Cost to Be da Boss. He then signed with Geffen Records in 2004 for his next three albums, R&G (Rhythm & Gangsta): The Masterpiece, Tha Blue Carpet Treatment, and Ego Trippin'. Malice 'n Wonderland (2009), and Doggumentary (2011) were released on Priority. Snoop Dogg has starred in motion pictures and hosted several television shows, including Doggy Fizzle Televizzle, Snoop Dogg's Father Hood, and Dogg After Dark. He also coaches a youth football league and a high school football team. In September 2009 Snoop was hired by EMI as the chairman of reactivated Priority Records.
In 2012, after a trip to Jamaica, Snoop announced a conversion to Rastafarianism and a new alias, Snoop Lion. As Snoop Lion he released a reggae album, Reincarnated, and a documentary film of the same name, about his Jamaican experience, in early 2013. His 13th studio album, Bush, was released in May 2015 and marked a return of the Snoop Dogg name. His 14th solo studio album, Coolaid, was released in July 2016. Snoop has 17 Grammy nominations without a win.
In 2018, he released his first gospel album, Bible of Love.
Kool Moe Dee ranks Snoop at No. 33 in his book There's a God on the Mic, and says he has "an ultra-smooth, laidback delivery" and "flavor-filled melodic rhyming". Peter Shapiro describes Snoop's delivery as a "molasses drawl" and AllMusic notes his "drawled, laconic rhyming" style. Kool Moe Dee refers to Snoop's use of vocabulary, saying he "keeps it real simple...he simplifies it and he's effective in his simplicity".
Snoop is known to freestyle some of his lyrics on the spot for some songs – in the book How to Rap, Lady of Rage says, "Snoop Dogg, when I worked with him earlier in his career, that's how created his stuff... he would freestyle, he wasn't a writer then, he was a freestyler," and The D.O.C. states, "Snoop's [rap] was a one take willy, but his shit was all freestyle. He hadn't written nothing down. He just came in and started busting. The song was "Tha Shiznit"—that was all freestyle. He started busting and when we got to the break, Dre cut the machine off, did the chorus and told Snoop to come back in. He did that throughout the record. That's when Snoop was in the zone then."
Peter Shapiro says that Snoop debuted on "Deep Cover" with a "shockingly original flow – which sounded like a Slick Rick born in South Carolina instead of South London" and adds that he "showed where his style came from by covering Slick Rick's 'La Di Da Di'". Referring to Snoop's flow, Kool Moe Dee calls him "one of the smoothest, funkiest flow-ers in the game". How to Rap also notes that Snoop is known to use syncopation in his flow to give it a laidback quality, as well as 'linking with rhythm' in his compound rhymes, using alliteration, and employing a "sparse" flow with good use of pauses.
Snoop re-popularized the use of -izzle speak, particularly in the pop and hip-hop music industry.
Snoop Dogg is a lifelong fan of professional wrestling. On March 30, 2008, Snoop Dogg appeared at WrestleMania XXIV as a Master of Ceremonies for a tag team match between Maria and Ashley Massaro as they took on Beth Phoenix and Melina. On a March 23, 2015 episode of Raw, Snoop Dogg appeared in a segment with Hulk Hogan and Curtis Axel. At WrestleMania 32, he accompanied his cousin Sasha Banks to the ring for her match, rapping over her theme music. He was also inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2016.
Broadus made a special guest appearance in All Elite Wrestling on the January 6, 2021, episode of AEW Dynamite, titled New Year's Smash. During this appearance, Snoop appeared in the corner of Cody Rhodes during Rhodes's match with Matt Sydal. He later gave Serpentico a Frog Splash, with Rhodes then delivering a three-count.
Snoop Dogg would join The Miz to host both nights of WrestleMania 39. During Night 1, he accompanied Rey Mysterio in a lowrider during his entrance, paying tribute to the late Eddie Guerrero. On Night 2, he introduced Shane McMahon to face The Miz in another spontaneous match. McMahon would sustain a quad injury during the match prompting Snoop Dogg to improvise and finish the match himself, ultimately defeating Miz. Snoop Dogg's improvisational acts were lauded by wrestlers and executives, including WWE chief content officer Triple H.

I appreciate the way y'all skate
When the clock hit eight
Now April and Kate
Y'all be doin' too much
Running your mouths
Fucking shit up, you gotta get up
'Cause I done had enough
Getting sick and tired of the same stuff
You told Kamil and she told Karla
And she told April and now they all know
But I could give a fuck 'cause all y'all my hoes
So, all that confronting a real nigga on site
Today is today, last night was last night
As I leaned with my hand on my balls
I had to really check these bitches and tell then like this dog
I got bitches all in my game that don't even know my name
Then pump your brakes, you hoes (biatch)
You could talk all day behind my back, but wont say shit in my face

Sabrina, Sakina, nigga, them all my hood rats
Back in the days when I was on the block
At an early age, man, I was on the cock
Non-stop, I beat it up and tell that bitch to get ghost
(They be like hot butter on a breakfast toast)
Hollerin' out, poppin' a collar out
And talkin' shit on the phone to me at my baby momma's house (no she wasn't)
Look here, bitch, do you know who the fuck I am?
You better read your motherfucking Press-Telegram
You remind me of this bitch that used to work for me
Had to cut the bitch off 'cause she tried to get too close to me
And tried to confront me at a club one night
Fuckin' with her friend, a fake bitch, is that right?
But you know I had to stop and I paused
And I put my hand on my balls and said check this out, dog
I got bitches all in my game that don't even know my name
Then pump your brakes, you hoes (biatch)
You could talk all day behind my back, but wont say shit in my face
Then pump your brakes, you hoes (biatch)
You are the one, you are the one

You are so sexy, sexy, sexy, sexy motherfucker
You are the one, you are the one
You are the one, you are the one, you are the one who
You are sexy, sexy, sexy, sexy motherfucker
I got my own spot and I got my own keys
So can't no bitch talk shit to me (shut up)
Like Kiki did me (what she do?)
Bitch changed the locks and kicked me up out her spot (biatch)
A learning lesson, I wasn't guessin' or stressin'
I got another bitch and she worked at the convalescent home
She said she needed a companion
Shit, I needed a chaperon plus a new home
Snap, crack, it's on
But in no time at all seems she fell in love
But I wasn't ready for that, top cat had to scat
I hit her friend from the back
While she was at work workin', I was jerkin' that skirt
And fucking with all her friends that was flirtin'
And when she found out she told me that that shit hurt (boo-hoo)
A week later she fucked my homeboy Kurt (I knew it)
Bitch, you ain't shit but dirt for dirt (biatch)
I got bitches all in my game that don't even know my name
Then pump your brakes, you hoes (biatch)
You could talk all day behind my back, but wont say shit in my face
Then pump your brakes, you hoes (biatch)
You are the one, you are the one
You are the one, you are the one, you are the one who
You are so sexy, sexy, sexy, sexy motherfucker
You are the one, you are the one
You are the one, you are the one, you are the one who
You are sexy, sexy, sexy, sexy motherfucker
I got bitches all in my game that don't even know my name
Then pump your brakes, you hoes (biatch)
You could talk all day behind my back, but wont say shit in my face
Then pump your brakes, you hoes (biatch)
You are the one, you are the one
You are the one, you are the one, you are the one who
You are so sexy, sexy, sexy, sexy motherfucker
You are the one, you are the one
You are the one, you are the one, you are the one who
You are sexy, sexy, sexy, sexy motherfucker
You's a sexy bitch

He then goes on to talk about the various women in his life, referring to them as "bitches" and "hood rats," but also expressing his appreciation for them. However, he becomes increasingly frustrated with their behavior, particularly when they talk behind his back and refuse to confront him to his face.
