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.
Dogged Her Out
Snoop Dogg Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
He had so many nephews, he didn′t know what to do
And the only reason why his nephew kept coming through
Was 'cause, the little old man sold the crazy glue
I′m looking at what gucci is above that time
Indeed we did to be stolen a little bit of time
Everybody out to get the nickels and dimes
I rather go for the coal, 'cause you still gonna get home on time
Me and the homies going to be tipping
I guess the fuck out to get in and then there
And if his nephews refuse, they gon be tripping
Hey baby, look, what'sup, watch the window, I slide past, snatch up, hold end though
Cute bitch with chicks, now all we need is the keys to the green six dukes on deeds, we brave
Back to the L.B now we fuck D in the green ltd
Banging that, slanging that good shit
It′s your motherfucking dog pound (hood shit)
Keep my heat to the beat of the bullshit
Popping on ′em one way (bullshit)
I know you loving it, liking it, playing it, saying it
Going nowhere besides staying (the yatch)
Dogged her out
Snoopy, you dogged her out
Am saying, you dogged her out
Snoopy, you dogged her out
Corrupted kingpin dogged her out
Snoopy, you dogged her out
You dogged her out
How could you have fallen the club with a pocket full of dubs
Have a drink, thank you but love, when push comes the shove
This bitches you just met, that's the only mother fucker that you thinking of
What′sup with your homeboy it's cuss′
Ooh they weigh out, no nigga you way in love
You know, you never know when the doors close
Hoes of a feather always flock together
Now, if that hoe with you woman sucking dick on a rolling
You gotta learn to let her know where you go, you know what, use old school
Turn to kissing on the room, violation to your own
Nigga, take your dick of the crap table
Quit playing roulette, take the rumble and check
That's game from a nigga, a bigger figure
Baby went back, got smacked ′cause I didn't dig her
Never trust a big button to smile, besides baby didn't, did not want it the doggy style
So why even bother, to let you out the clown with the doggy dog father
Brag to your home girls about my shit, tell′em about this west coast gangster dick
Smoke your row, I don′t think so
I'm chilling with my bro in spank logo, (the yacht)
(Dogged her out)
Snoopy, (you dogged her out)
Snoopy, (you dogged her out)
Corrupted kingpin, (dogged her out)
Make evil double g (dogged her out)
Snoopy, (you dogged her out)
Big big g (dogged her out)
For life mother fucker, you know
The lyrics of Snoop Dogg’s song Dogged Her Out describe the actions of a group of men who plan to steal a car from an old man with many nephews visiting him. The old man is able to sell his crazy glue to keep the nephews coming. The lyric “I’m looking at what Gucci is above that time” suggests that the events are taking place in the past, and that the men are reminiscing about what they used to do when they were younger. They discuss the idea that everyone is out to get “nickels and dimes,” but they would rather go for the money (coal) which guarantees they get home on time.
The men plan to steal the car and “ride” with a woman, perhaps to take her on a joyride or to kidnap her. The lyrics imply that one of the men is falling in love with the woman, to the point that he begins to neglect his friends and put his focus solely on her. The lyrics caution against letting a woman distract you from your own goals and remind you to keep your friends and your priorities straight. At the end of the song, Snoop Dogg makes it clear that he is the one in control and no one should mess with him.
Line by Line Meaning
There was an old man who lived in his shoe
There was a person who lived in tiny, uncomfortable conditions
He had so many nephews, he didn′t know what to do
He had a lot of relatives to take care of
And the only reason why his nephew kept coming through
Was 'cause, the little old man sold the crazy glue
His nephew only visited him because he sold something useful
I′m looking at what gucci is above that time
I am admiring luxury goods from a previous era
Indeed we did to be stolen a little bit of time
We often waste time without realizing it
Everybody out to get the nickels and dimes
People will go after even small amounts of money
I rather go for the coal, 'cause you still gonna get home on time
I would rather choose a reliable way to get home
Keeps on slipping and when the old man goes to sleep
Me and the homies going to be tipping
I guess the fuck out to get in that there
And if his nephews refuse, they gon be tripping
We plan to sneak around while the old man is asleep, and his nephews may get angry if they refuse to join
Hey baby, look, what'sup, watch the window, I slide past, snatch up, hold end though
Cute bitch with chicks, now all we need is the keys to the green six dukes on deeds, we brave
Back to the L.B now we fuck D in the green ltd
We plan to break into someone's property and steal their car, then go somewhere else to have sex
Banging that, slanging that good shit
It′s your motherfucking dog pound (hood shit)
Keep my heat to the beat of the bullshit
Popping on ′em one way (bullshit)
We sell high-quality drugs and live in a rough neighborhood, always keeping our weapons near us
I know you loving it, liking it, playing it, saying it
Going nowhere besides staying (the yacht)
You may listen to, enjoy, and talk about my music, but I am living a lavish lifestyle
How could you have fallen the club with a pocket full of dubs
Have a drink, thank you but love, when push comes the shove
This bitches you just met, that's the only mother fucker that you thinking of
What′sup with your homeboy it's cuss′
Ooh they weigh out, no nigga you way in love
You went to a club with lots of money but ended up thinking only of a girl you just met, while your friend is annoyed
You know, you never know when the doors close
Hoes of a feather always flock together
Now, if that hoe with you woman sucking dick on a rolling
You gotta learn to let her know where you go, you know what, use old school
You never know when you will miss your chance, and women who sleep around tend to be friends with other women who do the same. If your girlfriend is unfaithful, tell her where you are going and use an old-fashioned method of communication
Turn to kissing on the room, violation to your own
Nigga, take your dick of the crap table
Quit playing roulette, take the rumble and check
That's game from a nigga, a bigger figure
Baby went back, got smacked ′cause I didn't dig her
Never trust a big button to smile, besides baby didn't, did not want it the doggy style
So why even bother, to let you out the clown with the doggy dog father
Brag to your home girls about my shit, tell′em about this west coast gangster dick
Smoke your row, I don′t think so
I'm chilling with my bro in spank logo, (the yacht)
You should stop engaging in risky behavior with strangers and be smart with your money, because I have personal experience with this. Also, don't boast to your friends about my sexual prowess, as I am relaxing with friends on my yacht
(Dogged her out)
Snoopy, (you dogged her out)
Snoopy, (you dogged her out)
Corrupted kingpin, (dogged her out)

I have been accused of mistreating a woman, and it is true. The people around me are not always good influences, but I will take responsibility for my actions
