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.

For this small chronic break?
A-hah, yeah, niggas be brown-nosin' these hoes and shit
Takin' bitches out to eat, and spendin' money on these hoes
You know what I'm sayin?
I treat a bitch like 7-Up, I never have, I never will
I tell a bitch like this
You'll never go platinum"
Hey Daz, give me a light, nigga
We'd like to welcome y'all to the fabulous Carolina West
I own this motherfucker and my name is TaaDow
Y'all niggas know who I am, y'all niggas tearin' up shit
But we got somethin' old and somethin' new for y'all tonight
Put your hands together for Snoop Doggy Dogg
The Dogg Pound, and the fabulous Dramatics
It's like everywhere I look and everywhere I go
I'm hearin' motherfuckers tryin' to steal my flow
But it ain't no thing 'cause see my nigga Coolio
Put me up on the game when I step through the door
Ya know, some of these niggas is so deceptive
Usin' my styles like a contraceptive
I hope ya get burnt, seems ya haven't learnt
It's the knick knack, paddy whack, I still got the biggest sack
So put your gun away, run away, 'cause I'm back (why?)
Hit 'em up, get 'em up, split 'em up, now
Tell me what's goin' on?
It make me wanna holler, 'cause my dollars come in ozones
Known for the break-off, so take off your clothes
And quit tryin' to spit at my motherfuckin' hoes
Speakin' of hoes, I'll get to the point
You think you got the bomb 'cause I rolled you a joint
You's a flea and I'm the big Dogg
I'll scratch you off my balls with my motherfuckin' paws
Y'alls niggas better recognize (uh-huh)
And see where I'm comin' from it's still Eastside 'til I die
Why ask why? As the world keeps spinnin' to the D-O-Double-G-Y
It's a crazy, mixed-up world, it's a Doggy Dogg World
It's a Doggy Dogg World (it's a Doggy Dogg World)
Ooh (the Dogg's World, ooh)
Well, if you give me ten bitches then I'll fuck all ten
See my homie Snoop Doggy sippin' juice and Gin
Don't slip, I'm for the set trip to get papers
Styles vary, packin' flavor like Lifesavers
Ain't that somethin'? Talk shit and I'm dumpin'
I had your whole fuckin' block bumpin'
Don't sweat, but check the technique, I'm unique like China
You'll never find a bomber rhymer than this nigga behind ya
So peek-a-boo, clear the way, I'm comin' through
One, two, three, you can't see me
I'm a G like that, strapped with hit hard tactics
A fuckin' menace, usin' hoes like tennis rackets
It's on again, it's on and poppin'
All I see is green, so there ain't no stoppin'
I want to see some panties droppin'
I'm comin' from L.A., she used to chill with Dre up in Compton
(All I ever did-did was use that hoe
Chill in my Dickies, get quickies, and kick flows)
I'm dishin' out blues, I'm upsettin' like bad news
Cut-off khakis, French braids and house shoes
Kurupt's the name, so all marks are catchin' slugs
And I smoke weed for the fuck of it
Rough and rugged shit, it's unexplanatory how I gets wicked
But it's mandatory that I kick it
Check it, I'm runnin' hoes in '94, now must I prove it
Hoes call me Sugar Ray for the way I be stickin' and movin'
Prepare for a war, it's on, I'm head huntin'
Hit the button, and light shit up like Red Dawn
Peep the massacre from a verbal assassin
Murderin' with rhymes, packin' TEC-9's for some action
You really don't know, do you? You fuckin' with a hog
You can't do me, I'm goin' out looney like O-Dog
(Ooh) My, my, my, my, my, my, my, my, my
(It's a Doggy Dogg's World)

Uh-huh, 'til when? ('Til the early morn')
It don't stop (and uh) it don't quit (for, uh)
Tha Dogg Pound Clique (to drop the cavi' dope shit)
Diggity Daz out of the motherfuckin' cut once mo'
So grab a seat and grab your Gin and juice and check out the flow
I flip flop and serve hoes with the fat dick
'Til I die I'm still screamin' that (bitches ain't shit)
Now I'm the Mack Daddy, had he, not known about
The city where I'm from, dumb diddy dumb
As you groove to the gangster shit
The D-O-Double-G the P-O-U-N-D, the gangsta clique
Now as the Pound break it down with the gangsta funk
I can see and I can tell that's what the fuck you want
So I blaze up the chronic, so I can get high
I promise I'll smoke chronic 'til the day that I die
Ooh, it's a Dogg, it's a Dogg, it's Dogg (it's a Doggy Dogg world)
It's a Doggy Dogg world (a Dogg's world)
Just cool (ooh, it's a Doggy Dogg's world)

The song "Doggy Dogg World" by Snoop Dogg featuring Tha Dogg Pound and The Dramatics was released in 1993 as part of his debut album, "Doggystyle." The song is a combination of rap and funk, featuring brass-laden grooves that were once familiar in the 70s. The lyrics, on the other hand, are about being an influential rapper in the game, having respect and authority in the streets, and the pleasures that come with being a gangster.
In this song, Snoop is heard expressing his naysayers who've tried to imitate and steal his flow. But their act is so deceptive that it doesn't bother him. Snoop compares women to 7-Up - disposable and easily replaceable. He also emphasizes that he is not into spending money on women and only keeps those who stick by him during his hard times. Snoop urges his listeners to recognize the Eastside as his home and sign-off by repeating that it's a "Doggy Dogg world."
