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.

The song "Pussy Sells" by Snoop Dogg and Suga Free is a portrayal of the world of pimping and prostitution. The lyrics are a prime example of the harsh realities of life on the streets. The first verse talks about how bitches play their role in servicing a pimp in order to make a living. The line "Pussy just a piece of meat another means to eat" is a description of the objectification of women in the world of prostitution. It highlights how some women have to sell their bodies to make ends meet.
The second verse features Suga Free's infamous style of rapid spoken word mixed with melodic crooning. He emphasizes the importance of keeping one's hands clean before touching one's genitals. He also dismisses any notion that a prostitute could survive without selling her body, saying that "if she tells you that her pussy ain't selling, she's lying." The chorus repeats the phrase "Ooh, she got the bomb" which is used to describe a woman with good looks and sexual prowess.
The bridge of the song emphasizes the power dynamic between a pimp and a prostitute. The pimp expects the prostitute to bring him money, and he will go to great lengths to get it. He also exacts physical violence if she steps out of line. The song ends with Snoop Dogg encouraging his fellow pimps to keep hustling and making money, claiming that "pimping ain't easy, but it's a whole lotta fun."
Line by Line Meaning
L.T., Uh, The nerve of this bitch
Listen up, this bitch has a lot of audacity
A bitch made purpose is to service a mac
A bitch is meant to fulfill the needs of a pimp
In a skirt till her feet hurt workin trap
She works tirelessly in the streets, even if her feet ache
No breaks, ho break mine or she don't sleep
She can't take breaks without my permission; otherwise, she won't rest
Pussy just a piece of meat another means to eat
Her body is merely a commodity for me to profit from
Bitches playin like the wayin so I stay in the game
Women act like they have control, but I remain dominant in this industry
Pimpin hard on these niggaz cuz they playin is lame
I exert my power on men who are weak in their game
How i'm came at a ho is all a bitch gone know
The way I approach a prostitute is something she'll understand
What I won't, what I don't and where to put my dough
I decide what I don't want, what I won't do, and where to invest my money
Back-talk get you slapped broad stay in yo place
Disrespect leads to physical punishment; women should know their role
I might get the hanger then make you lay on yo face
I might resort to violence and make you lie down in submission
Trick guerilla for my scrilla ho you got to know
I'm strategic in exploiting women for financial gain, and they should be aware of it
Chronic weed smoke the only thing I cop to blow
I only indulge in smoking marijuana, no other drugs
Gangsta-playa paper-chasin break a bitch like young
I'm a gangster and a player who seeks money and dominance, just like a young person would
No tongue get em sprung from the game I run
I don't use persuasive words; I make women infatuated with the lifestyle I control
One in a million with this pimpin Suga Free no cut
I'm a unique and exceptional pimp, fully committed to this lifestyle
Now come up from promote and tell these hoes what's up
It's time to rise and exert authority over these prostitutes
Ho must've said Suga Free go wash yo hands I said bitch
A prostitute must have asked me to wash my hands; I responded disrespectfully
I'm Suga Free I wash my hands befo I touch my dick
I prioritize personal hygiene, washing my hands before any intimate activity
Bitch I'm ceasin, meanin
I'm asserting my dominance and power over women
I'm 900-99 thousand, 900-99 dollars, 99 cents away from breathin
I'm just a small amount of money away from feeling truly satisfied
Now if she tell that her pussy ain't sellin she lyin
If a prostitute claims her services are not in demand, she's lying
(Man that bitch is connin you)
(That woman is deceiving you)
And it she say baby let's go get this paper
If she suggests earning money together
don't playa-hater hater she tryin be all the ho that you can be
Don't discourage her ambition to be the best prostitute she can be
Oh no I ain't gone playa hate you cuzz you dressed like you a freak
I won't criticize you for dressing provocatively and expressing yourself sexually
Goin 'Now I lay me down to sleep'
Reciting a prayer before going to bed
With that pimp stick hangin french-braided right by my feet
My cane, a symbol of my authority, is braided in Cornrows near my feet
Now on a accident pussy sells,
Even unintentionally, the demand for prostitution exists
you see how heavy traffic gets pussy sells
The high demand for sex work leads to crowded and competitive markets
Nigga you lookin foe yo ho main pussy sells
If you're searching for your primary prostitute, just know that sex work is profitable
But you gone get plenty mo cuz pimpin neva fells
You'll find more prostitutes because being a pimp is always successful
Ooohh venom, cross my heart hope to die stick a needle in my eye
Swearing with the utmost sincerity and conviction to prove my point
If you didn't have Suga Free you'd have to invent him
Without me, you would have to create a character like me
(Got, Someby, Like a Mua Fucka)
(You got somebody like me, motherfucker)
Me and my niggaz is hard as hell
My friends and I are tough and relentless
Pimp slap a bitch for some clientele
I will violently discipline a prostitute for not securing enough customers
Bitch get me a room at a plush hotel
Prostitute, book a luxurious hotel room for me
To hit this trick for this lick and go get my mail
I want you to seduce a john, steal from him, and bring me the money
If you ever get caught, cracked and thrown in jail
If you get caught, arrested, and imprisoned
You know a nigga comin throw with that bail
You can count on me to provide bail money for you
I put you on a track like that for real
I assign you to work on a specific location or territory
And you know and I know that pussy will sell
Both of us are aware that prostitution will always be profitable
Where ever I go it's all the same
Regardless of my location, the situation remains unchanged
Do the pussy have a name yeah but it might change (da, da)
Prostitutes might have individual names, but those names can vary
Dependin on the weather or the mood that that day
The name might depend on factors like the weather or my mood that day
If the cat got macked then that fool gone pay
If the prostitute attracted a customer, the customer will pay for her services
Now lay lay yo head on back
Now relax and lay your head back
You down with the dogg then work that trap
If you're loyal to me, then engage in prostitution
And don't come back till you get that scratch, and bring it all to me
Don't return until you've earned that money, and hand it all over to me
I put the P-I-M-P-O ology, bitch threw a dolla at me me
I'm well-versed in the science of pimping; a woman disrespectfully threw a dollar at me
I threw it back now she followin me (ha, ha, ha, ha)
I returned the dollar back to her, and now she's desperately chasing after me
I put this P-I down 7 days a week 24 hours
I engage in pimping every day of the week, around the clock
You say you broke ho, look here miss me
If you claim to be financially struggling, don't bother coming to me
It be all tipes of niggaz that be payin for ma-dussy (bitch)
Various men are willing to pay for my sexual services, bitch
There go the cona girl, now post up
There's the confident girl; now get ready for action
If you come back with no chips, yo gets slapped up
If you return without money, I'll physically abuse you
I might hit you with the pimp stick
I might use my cane to physically punish you
And bitch think twice befo askin fo deez-nick
Prostitute, reconsider before asking for any form of payment from me
And the last time you had some money
The last time you possessed money
Is when you stole it from yo momma
Was when you stole it from your own mother
bitch that shit ain't funny (shit ain't funny)
Don't find that amusing, bitch
But a pimp like me got payed (got payed)
But a pimp like me made money
And a hoe like you got played (got played)
And a prostitute like you got manipulated
Now listen to the sound of the bells ring
Now pay attention to the sound of success
Baby it's cash goin on like ching ching
There's a lot of money flowing in, like the sound of coins
Get up, get out, and get some
Get up, leave, and go earn money
You see what i'm doin, bustin on tracks to keep you fuckin
You witness my efforts, hustling through music to ensure your ability to earn money
Let you tell it i'm out here pimpin for free
According to your perspective, I engage in pimping without charging for it
That ain't yo Goldie I got too much hog in me
You don't fully understand the pimp lifestyle because I have more expertise in it
I dogg hoes like Snoop (like Snoop)
I treat prostitutes poorly, just like Snoop Dogg would
Throw some lotion on yo feet befo you jump up in my coup (beeitch)
Moisturize your feet before entering my expensive car
Pimpin ain't easy but it's a whole lotta fun
Pimping is challenging but highly enjoyable
Tray 5,7,6,5,4,2,1
A signature phrase or chant
Get dought in the snow in Idahoe
Make money by engaging in prostitution, even in snowy Idaho
I gotta lie to ho, and a wida hoe
I have to deceive prostitutes and women in general
One things for show if all fails
If everything else fails, one thing remains certain
They go get my mail cuzz pussy sells
They'll secure my earnings because prostitution is profitable
Yeah my bitch got some bomb ass pussy
Yes, my prostitute is highly skilled in providing excellent sexual services
Nigga you want the honey fool I want the money
You desire pleasure, but I prioritize financial gain
Yeah Tray 5,7,6,5,4,2,1 Nigga
Yes, it's Tray 5, 7, 6, 5, 4, 2, 1, my signature phrase
Pimp on, In a real way
Continue to exert dominance and control over prostitutes, authentically
