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.

Snoop Dogg Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
These hoes for a minute (talk about these
Let's talk about these hoes)
There’s some hoes in this house
There's some hoes in this house
If you see 'em turn ’em out
There's some hoes in this ho-ow-ow
Bitch, why you looking at my dick?
Acting like you wanna blow a dick
Yeah, I know he know a bitch
Got my homie, and we all out to get laid
Seen this bitch on stage
Live, right, get it goin', don't stop
Panties drop, hit the floor
Don't act like you new to this hoe
I seen you before
Yeah, you don't remember me
Cause I ain't have no loot
Now bitch, you tryna act cute
Pull up your skirt
Do it like it's ’sposed be done
Ain’t no fun if the homies can't have none
And after we get to ya, get with ya
Get through ya, stick dick to ya
Got my niggas in here motivated
Heated, gang related and it’s like this
Bitch
This is for my homeboys
Let's show 'em how we get-get down
Show 'em how we -get down
Show ’em how we beat it to
The beat of Tha Pound
Don't mind, it's just a pimp thang
Money with me every time, it's a grip thang
Short and simp' thang
Get it like you want it
With the shake of Dogg on it
Go on do it like you want it
Baby lick it good-
Hip, big tit's, shit's so thick
Baby flossin' that kitty
I ain't bullshittin' bitch
Go on, do what ya gotta do
Baby lick it so tend'
Do ya see what I see? (hoes in this house)
All I see is pussy (see 'em, turn 'em out)
Do ya see what I see? (hoes in this house)
All I see is pussy

Trip, now Daz, Luke, Kurupt, and Snoop
Come bangin' all the hoes
In ya muthafuckin' group
It's a shame, how my game
Gon' get that pussy for me in a minute mane
There's hoes all over this place
I bumped a hoe from Atlanta
Named Nevanah, and I, ran a, plan up
That I had designed for
Another bitch named Savannah
Man I, had a lot of hoes in my lifespan
Even had a bitch from Iran named Jan
Not to mention Japan
I had a tight-eyed hoe with dough
Ya know? Fo' sho' now ya know I can bump 'em
So when they get out of line
I won't hesitate to dump 'em
Cause I was taught not long ago
In order to gain a hoe, you gotta lose a hoe
That's why my stable, keeps me able
To buy nice cars, homes, and cables
Gangsta haters, a question for y'all
Why yo' bitch paws in my draws
Holding on my balls?
You act like you don't do it
But you know ain't nuthin' to it
Don't play like you ain't been through it
Fit to blow dick like ain't nuthin' to it
One for the money, two for the hoes
Seen 'em all coming, they coming in rows
Bitches ain't shit, so I suppose
Your bitch is different, in different clothes
Hell nah she ain't, she's just an average hoe
That gives the average dick the average blow
Don't play, don't look at me that way
Don't switch
I know a bitch when I see a bitch
I know a hoe when I see a hoe
DPG done get blowed in some
Baby sit back, with your bad self
You ain't never ever had a piece of ass n'em
Once you get it butt-nekkid
Get to mackin' 'em
And she worked it on a nigga so
I get nasty, when you least expect
Get fine drunk hoes to get butt-nekkid
We don't be trippin' when
Walk inside the club
Find me a freak by the name of love
She love, wants a girl that like that dick
Plus like that clique and like freaky shit
You wonder why we bring these hoes
These types of clothes, so we suppose
Spit this game, once you think you know it
These freaky hoes is good to go
Do ya see what I see?
(there's some hoes in this house)
All I see is pussy
(if ya see 'em, turn 'em out)
Do ya see what I see?
(there's some hoes in this house)
All I see is pussy
(if ya see 'em, turn 'em out)
Man, this nigga right back in the
Club looking for some love
Standing at the bar with a
Pocket full of dubs
Paying some bitch, to make your dick get hard
Cause you's a muthafuckin' trick

Send a hoe at ya, then look at ya
Right where I want ya at
Make sure you won't get no get back
I learned from the best pimps in the game
I got hoes all over, my best hoe's Nova
I know ya tried to come over
And get at her, it really didn't matter
I had her, ready to cock back the hammer
And jam her, 9 double-M in your face
While you dance to the boogie of the bass
You chase hoes, I place hoes in they place
Nigga

A lot of niggas don't understand
(nah they don't understand) how
Real pimps and real
Players handle their shit

Ya know, aye, me and my man, Dogg

They place, we pimpin' hoes (pimpin' hoes)
Laying hoes down (slamming Cadillac doors)
You know, a hoe is gonna be a hoe
(hoe gon' be a hoe)
Some of y'all niggas don't understand that
(yo' hoe be a hoe, let the hoe be a hoe fool)
So, so don't act like you don't do it
(cause you know ain't nuttin' to it)
Cause you know ain't nuttin' to it
Just like we said, aye, hoes gon' be hoes
(lay yo' bitch down, lay yo' bitch down
Lay yo' bitch down, yuh, yuh)
Niggas gon' be niggas we gon' get ours
Aye, y'all hoes gon' be mad
The lyrics of Snoop Dogg's song Hoez discuss his experiences with various women, or "hoes." He describes how he and his friends are out to pick up women, and how they see women as objects to be won or conquered. The song contains a lot of explicit language, and it is a highly controversial song that is criticized for its glorification of sexist attitudes towards women that can be found within rap culture.
In particular, Snoop Dogg describes how he and his friends go to clubs looking for women, and how they objectify and degrade the women that they encounter. The song reinforces the notion that women's bodies belong to men for their pleasure, and that women are solely valued for their sexual availability. The lyrics also imply that sex is an act of domination, and that men need to prove their masculinity through sexual conquests.
Overall, the song is an extremely problematic representation of women and their relationships with men. Its lyrics normalize harmful ideas about women and their worth, perpetuating the notion that women's bodies are commodities to be used and abused. The song teaches young men that they are entitled to women's bodies, thereby justifying sexual harassment, coercion, and assault.
