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.

Ay yo nephew

But the Bentley coupe missing, the stash on the curb
Watch the city go missing, the young nigga ran off with li'l biddy birds
Fuck you talkin', bitch you ran off on 'em
How these li'l handcuffs and you cops can't cop me
In the back of the cab, this hoe sucking dick from the front seat
This her aftermath, like I got 50 Cent on me (straight stacks)

Brand new chick, got her brand new ass
With a lot of old money
Everybody want somethin' from me
Got to keep my hands on the steering wheel
'Cause I foot the bill and I shoot to kill
And I slide around in that Snoop DeVille
And my gas tank is on full
Stack goods, them Backwoods

Bubblegum, cookies, OG, and KK
We like Craig and Dae Dae, who gives a fuck what they say?

The lyrics to Snoop Dogg's song "High" speak to his love for smoking marijuana and the lifestyle that comes with it. The opening lines set the tone, as Snoop calls for some "sticky-icky-icky" to be smoked in the air, specifically in a Backwood, which is a type of cigar wrap known for its ability to hold a large amount of marijuana. Snoop expresses his desire to get high and calls his trusted supplier, referred to as his "go-to guy," to obtain some marijuana. He mentions not having any Backwoods (cigar wraps), which are often used to roll joints, but he still intends to smoke by using his other supplies.
The song also touches on Snoop's luxurious lifestyle, with references to brand new dashboards, cash, and women. He showcases his affluence by stating that he has a brand new chick with a brand new ass. The lyrics also include references to drinking syrup, suggesting the use of codeine-laced cough syrup, often used recreationally for its intoxicating effects. Snoop mentions his Bentley coupe missing and a stash on the curb, implying that someone stole his car and his drugs. This section of the song delves into themes of betrayal and mistrust within Snoop's surroundings.
In the second verse, Snoop talks about getting high and being so stoned that he doesn't remember the people he's with. He mentions his desire to have control and power over others, using phrases like "strong arm her" and "go and bone girl." He also references missing out on a connection with a girl and dismisses her by calling her Marlboro and stating that she missed out on him and his mother. This section shows Snoop's confidence and detachment from emotional attachments.
Overall, the lyrics of "High" reflect Snoop Dogg's well-known fascination with marijuana and his enjoyment of the lifestyle associated with it. The song captures the essence of his laid-back personality and carefree attitude toward recreational drug use.

@Proud Conservative They're stating experiences to validate their opinion, nothing wrong with that. And you're opposing them for no reason. Because he's a recovering alcoholic, he has the experience to back up what snoop is saying. I personally have some too and snoop's right.

One time me and my homie was smoking on his patio. His neighbors were an older white couple. They always complained about everything he did so he never smoked outside. The couple kept walking back and forth in front on us smoking so we got ready for them to say something. They stopped ask us to sell them some weed. We said we don't sell weed but we'll smoke with you. They both hit the weed and we had a blast they left and came back with a bottle liquor. After that him and his neighbors got along very well.
