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 ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
For those who don't like it, eat a dick
But for those who with me, sing that shit
As it go a little something like this
La Di Da Di, we likes to party
We don't cause trouble, we don't bother nobody
We're, just some niggas who're on the mic
For all my Doggs keeping y'all in health
Just to see you smile and enjoy yourself
'cause it's cool when ya cause a cozy conditioning
Which we create, 'cause that's our mission
So listen close, to what we say
Because this types of shit happens every-day
I woke up around 10 o'clock in the morning
I gave myself a stretch up, a morning yawn and
Went to the bathroom to wash up
I threw some soap on my face and put my hands up on a cup
And said um "Mirror mirror, on, the wall
Who is the top Dogg of them all?"
There was a rubble dubble, five minutes it lasted
The mirror said, "You are you conceited bastard"
Well that's true, that's why we never have no beef
So I slipped off my khakis and my gold leaf
Used Oil of Olay, 'cause my skin gets pale
And then I got the file, for my fingernails
I'm true to the style on my behalf
I put some bubbles in the tub so I can take a bubble bath
Clean, dry, was my body and hair
I threw on my brand new Doggy underwear
For all the bitches I might take home
I got the Johnson baby powder and Cool Water cologne
Now I'm fresh, dressed, like a million bucks
Threw on my White Sox, with my all blue chucks
Stepped out the house, stopped short, oh no
I went back in, I forgot my indo
Then I dilly (dally) I ran through an (alley)
I bumped into this smoker named (Sally) from the (Valley)
This was a girl playing hard to get
So I said "What's wrong?" 'cause she looked upset
She said um
It's all because of you, I'm feeling said and blue
You went away, now my life is filled with rainy days
I love you so, how much you'll never know
Cause you took your dope away from me
Damn, now what was I to do
She's crying over me and she was feeling blue
I said, "Um, don't cry, dry your eye
And here comes your mother with those two little guys"
Her mean mother steps then says to me "Hi!"
Decked Sally in the face and punched her in the eye
Punched her in the belly and stepped on her feet
Slammed the child on the hard concrete
The bitch was strong, the kids was gone
Something was wrong I said, "What was going on?"
I tried to break up, I said, "Stop it, just leave her!"
She said, "If I can't smoke none, she can't either!"
She grabbed my closely by my socks
So I broke the hell out, and I grabbed my sack of rocks
But um, they gave chase, they caught up quick
They started crying on my shoes and grabbing my dick
And saying
Why don't you give me a play
So we can brake it down the Long Beach way
And if you give me that okay
I'll give you all my love today
Doggy, Doggy, Doggy, can't you see
Somehow your words just hypnotize me
And I just love your jazzy ways
Doggy Dogg, your love is here to stay
And on and on and on she kept going
The bitch been around before my mother's born!
I said, "Cheer up!" so I gave her a hit
I said, "You can't have me, I'm too young for you bitch!"
She said, "No you're not," then she starts crying
I says I'm nineteen, she says, "Stop lying!"
I says, "I am, go ask my mother
And with your wrinkled pussy, I can't be your lover"
Yeah, tic toc you don't stop
And to the, ah tic toc and you don't quit
Yeah, tic toc and ya don't stop, and to the
Ah tic toc and ya don't quit, bitch!

So listen close, to what we say
Pay attention to our words and message
Because this types of shit happens every-day
These kinds of things happen frequently in life
I woke up around 10 o'clock in the morning
I woke up at a reasonable time in the morning
I gave myself a stretch up, a morning yawn and
I stretched and yawned to wake up properly
Went to the bathroom to wash up
I went to the bathroom to clean myself
I threw some soap on my face and put my hands up on a cup
I washed my face and put my hands on the sink
And said um "Mirror mirror, on, the wall
I addressed myself in the mirror
Who is the top Dogg of them all?"
I asked myself who the best person is
There was a rubble dubble, five minutes it lasted
There was some movement in the mirror for a short time
The mirror said, "You are you conceited bastard"
My reflection called me self-centered
Well that's true, that's why we never have no beef
That's accurate, which is why I don't argue with myself
So I slipped off my khakis and my gold leaf
I took off my clothes and jewelry
Used Oil of Olay, 'cause my skin gets pale
I used a specific lotion because my skin tends to become pale
And then I got the file, for my fingernails
I got a nail file to groom my nails
I'm true to the style on my behalf
I remain faithful to my image and reputation
I put some bubbles in the tub so I can take a bubble bath
I filled the tub with bubbles for a relaxing bath
Clean, dry, was my body and hair
After the bath, my body and hair were clean and dry
I threw on my brand new Doggy underwear
I put on my new underwear with my name on it
For all the bitches I might take home
In case I bring someone home with me
I got the Johnson baby powder and Cool Water cologne
I applied some baby powder and cologne to smell good
Now I'm fresh, dressed, like a million bucks
I look and feel great
Threw on my White Sox, with my all blue chucks
I put on my white socks and blue shoes
Stepped out the house, stopped short, oh no
I left the house but realized I forgot something
I went back in, I forgot my indo
I went back inside to get my marijuana
Then I dilly (dally) I ran through an (alley)
I wasted time and ran through an alley
I bumped into this smoker named (Sally) from the (Valley)
I accidentally came across a woman from a nearby area
This was a girl playing hard to get
She didn't want to talk to me initially
So I said "What's wrong?" 'cause she looked upset
I asked her what was wrong because she seemed troubled
She said um
She hesitated to speak further
It's all because of you, I'm feeling said and blue
I feel sad and lost because of your actions
You went away, now my life is filled with rainy days
Since you left, my life has become gloomy
I love you so, how much you'll never know
I love you deeply, but you will never know how much
Cause you took your dope away from me
Because you stopped sharing your drugs with me
Damn, now what was I to do
I was unsure of how to respond to her situation
She's crying over me and she was feeling blue
She was upset and crying about me
I said, "Um, don't cry, dry your eye
I told her to stop crying and dry her tears
And here comes your mother with those two little guys"
Her mother approaches with two young children
Her mean mother steps then says to me "Hi!"
Her rude mother greets me
Decked Sally in the face and punched her in the eye
She hit and punched her daughter in the face and eye
Punched her in the belly and stepped on her feet
She continued to hit her daughter and step on her feet
Slammed the child on the hard concrete
She slammed the child onto the ground
The bitch was strong, the kids was gone
The mother was strong and the children were missing
Something was wrong I said, "What was going on?"
I was confused and asked what was happening
I tried to break up, I said, "Stop it, just leave her!"
I attempted to intervene and stop the abuse
She said, "If I can't smoke none, she can't either!"
She forbid her daughter from smoking and wanted her to suffer too
She grabbed my closely by my socks
She grabbed me by the ankles
So I broke the hell out, and I grabbed my sack of rocks
I escaped and took my bag of drugs
But um, they gave chase, they caught up quick
They chased and caught up to me quickly
They started crying on my shoes and grabbing my dick
They cried and held onto me
Why don't you give me a play
Why don't you entertain me
So we can brake it down the Long Beach way
Let's have fun the way we do it in Long Beach
And if you give me that okay
If you agree to entertain me
I'll give you all my love today
I will give you my love and attention
Doggy, Doggy, Doggy, can't you see
A reference to himself, he asked if they could see him
Somehow your words just hypnotize me
His words were captivating and persuasive
And I just love your jazzy ways
He is attracted to his cool and impressive style
Doggy Dogg, your love is here to stay
His love and talent will be appreciated forever
And on and on and on she kept going
She continued speaking without pause
The bitch been around before my mother's born!
She has been around for a long time
I said, "Cheer up!" so I gave her a hit
He offered her some drugs to make her feel better
I said, "You can't have me, I'm too young for you bitch!"
He rejected her advances and said he was too young
She said, "No you're not," then she starts crying
She disagreed with him and burst into tears
I says I'm nineteen, she says, "Stop lying!"
He told her his real age but she didn't believe him
I says, "I am, go ask my mother
He told her to ask his mother to confirm his age
And with your wrinkled pussy, I can't be your lover"
He insulted her and made it clear he wasn't interested
Yeah, tic toc you don't stop
The beat continues without pause
And to the, ah tic toc and you don't quit
The beat continues and won't stop
Yeah, tic toc and ya don't stop, and to the
The beat continued without stopping
Ah tic toc and ya don't quit, bitch!
The beat continues and won't stop, directed at someone

The amount of times I've stood in the shower and rapped this whole song is insane. It's the perfect length for a shower aswell. I turn on the hot water, and just start "lodi dodi, we likes to party..." and when I'm done with the shampoo and shower gel and everything, I'm right at the "...tick tock and you don't quit BIIAATCH" and then I step out of the shower, fresh like a million bucks. This will forever be my shower song.

I never tried this in the shower, I sing it to my kids at bedtime 😆
