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.

Yeah
Welcome to tha Church: Volume II
Exclusive 213 (uh hah hah, uh hah hah)
Got my nephew Nate Dogg in the house
Nate Dogg holla at 'em
Where you at?
And I'm listening to the radio
I'm listening to a sad girl sing
Sing about how she got her heart broke
People reaching for stars
I just want me something natural
When you're alone it gets mighty cold
Don't act as if you did not know
She let me play with her heart
I'm working late I said I'll soon be home
All the while the girl was home alone
Let me tell you what she crying for
(Why?)
'Cause I'm fly
Yeah he super fly
Nate Dogg
Woah ohh ohh I'm fly, yeah
You know he super fly
But me I'm Snooper Dooper and I'm super duper fly
I'd be the greatest-est I know you waited this
And I wanted this to be elaborate and so strenuous
And then you just slide by and wiz-ave
You on another piz-age
Is that the way you gonna be-hiz-ave?
I know you're feeling all hurt inside
But won't you talk to a player
Let me help out your pride?
I'm like a counselor, a pastor, a priest or a psychologist
A shrink or a freak
Peep (my) my technique
I wear minks, gator boots
And I'm the the one that gets the loot
And I ain't afraid to shoot
And I love to toot toot
Beep beep as I slide up the street
I'm from the LBC
And I don't know what y'all done heard about me
But I'm a C-R-I-P with some P-I-M-P too
I'm a real pimp player from the 213 crew
Now look here boo
If you gonna bang or hang with the Dogg
You best to get in
Holla at her Nate Dogg (Holla, holla)
Riding in my car
And I'm listening to the radio
I'm listening to a sad girl sing
Sing about how she got her heart broke
People reaching for stars
I just want me something natural (Is that right Nate Dogg?)
When you're alone it gets mighty cold
Don't act as if you did not know
She let me play with her heart
I'm working late I said I'll soon be home (Damn nigga)
All the while the girl was home alone
Let me tell you what she crying for
(What she cryin' for?)
'Cause I'm fly
Yeah he super fly
Nate Dogg
Woah ohh ohh I'm fly, yeah
Warren G
3 piece with a mink
Gotta think my shit stinks
Stacy Adams with a drink
Pockets pad up, they come from Brinks
So what the ladies wink
You the one in the Mercedes
Shotgun with the thing
Coat chillin', watching "The Lion King"
Crying and thangs
'Cause I'm with Snoop and Nate, singing, rhyming and things
I'm out late 'cause I'm grindin' for change
I ain't with dime for dames
Cock back and I'm trying to aim
At everything, that be hating my fame
Since regulating, been lacing the game
Ain't no mistake in the game
Two-one mother f'in dwizzle sippin' on the sizzle
And that's for shizzle
Four times for the riddles
You know these bars
Everywhere we go
You know who us are
You could tell by the car
Champagne, caviar
Bubble bath, I say I love you
And I laugh
Riding in my car
And I'm listening to the radio
I'm listening to a sad girl sing
Sing about how she got her heart broke
People reaching for stars
I just want me something natural
When you're alone it gets mighty cold
Don't act as if you did not know
She let me play with her heart
I'm working late I said I'll soon be home
All the while the girl was home alone

The song "I'm Fly" by Snoop Dogg featuring Nate Dogg and Warren G is about their lavish lifestyle and how they attract women. The lyrics describe how they ride in expensive cars and listen to the radio where a girl is singing about how she got her heart broken. They tell the girl that they can help her with that and describe themselves as counselors, pastors, psychologists, and shrinks. They also mention their luxurious clothing and accessories, as well as their affiliation with the Crips gang.
The chorus repeatedly says "I'm fly" and "he super fly," which is a boastful statement of how cool and attractive they are. The song suggests that their lifestyle is desirable and that they easily get what they want, whether it's material items or women.
The song's playful and upbeat melody contrasts its lyrics, which are more focused on bragging about their status and possessions. It's a quintessential example of the West Coast hip-hop scene of the 1990s.

Everyone wants to reach for the stars, but I just want something simple and natural. Being alone can be very cold, so don't pretend like you don't know that.

Nate Dogg is also super cool, and I'm cool too. We're both fly guys.

I'm out late, working hard to earn money. I'm not interested in ordinary women, and I aim to take down anyone who hates on me. I've been around for a long time, and my skills are undeniable. You know who we are, and you can tell by our expensive car. We drink champagne and eat caviar, and I even say I love you during a bubble bath.

In 2003 i remember singing this song in Compton California in the elevator of a hotel called Crystal Lake Hotel and Casino. I thought the song was on the elevator music but I turned around and boom there was Nate Dogg singing that classic jam!!!! He said Big Homie you aint from here huh??? I said nah bro Im from Ga. He was like if you aint doing shit come kick it with us. He invited me to his brothers pre wedding party that night up in the hotel suites. The wildest party ive ever been to up to this very day!!!! While other celebrities are mega stuck up and fucked up, Hands down Nate Dogg is the greatest down to earth celebrity ive ever met.
