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 4ร 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 โ 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"โthat 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 โ 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.

Feelin'like Cee Lo Green
Middle finger in the sky
Meditating let it ride rock'a'by baby bye
A friend indeed
More than Jimmy 2
More than giving you
No prohibs dude you can have all this
And now that we own
I can put my family in a brand new home
My kids is grown
And I'm still rocking on the microphone
People love me everywhere and I know why
It's not that I'm doping
My style is so fly
James Brown set me down in a chair
And said "Snoopy don't you ever cut your hair"
I was dazed and amazed
That's why I keep my shit in pony tails and even braids
When I was in school I used to get cool grades
When I graduated I used to smoke 2 Ks
With a fit to... Groups

In the song "Stoners Anthem," Snoop Dogg celebrates the joys of marijuana smoking and the bonds it creates between friends. The lyrics describe a feeling of camaraderie and acceptance among stoners, who are portrayed as laid-back and carefree individuals. Snoop refers to himself as a "friend indeed," offering his weed to anyone who needs it. He compares himself to Cee Lo Green, a soul singer known for his eccentric style and powerful voice.
The chorus of the song urges everyone to put their "lighters in the air" and sing along, reinforcing the idea of communal smoking as a form of bonding. Snoop also pays tribute to his musical influences, including James Brown, who famously told him not to cut his hair, as well as his own evolution as an artist. He describes going from smoking "2 Ks" (presumably, two kilos of weed) after graduating from school to owning a fleet of cars and putting his family in a brand new home. The song ends on a note of unity and affection, with Snoop encouraging his fellow smokers to love one another and enjoy their shared culture.

Um amigo de verdade
Sentindo-se como Cee Lo Green
Dedo mรฉdio no cรฉu
Medite e deixe-o andar
Rock-a-bye beddy-bye
Um amigo de verdade
Mais do que curtir para
Mais do que dar-lhe
Nรฃo proรญbe
Vocรช tambรฉm pode ouvir
Nรฃo consegui encontrar mais ninguรฉm para o qual eu poderia dar
E agora que estamos
Eu poderia colocar minha famรญlia em uma nova casa
Meus filhos sรฃo cultivados
E ainda estou balanรงando no microfone
As pessoas me amam em todos os lugares
E eu sei por que
Nรฃo รฉ que eu sou droga e meu estilo รฉ tรฃo voador
James Brown sentou-me numa cadeira
E disse: "Snoopy, vocรช nunca corta o cabelo"
Fiquei atordoado e espantado
ร por isso que eu mantenho minha merda em ponytails ou tranรงas
Quando eu estava na escola, eu costumava obter notas legais
Quando me formei, costumava fumar dois jays
Com um quinto de Seagrams
Misturado com algum sacco
Entรฃo eu consegui um saco Caddy, assim como eles vatos
Postado seis-um, sim, esse รฉ o bloco embora
Passei lentamente e pegue seu traseiro aparado, no entanto
Eu e Geeda, Faith e Terry, foi quando o traseiro foi suficiente
Nรฃo pode esquecer Tim, Baby Dog e Half-Dead
Dre-Loc foi um 20 Crip que me mostrou muita merda
Mas, movendo-se, fui de um Camaro para um Fleetwood Brougham
Meu saco nas costas
Minha alรงa no meu colo
Quarto para trรกs
Percorrendo o bairro, checando minhas armadilhas
ร medida que envelhece, a vida como se poderia desdobrar
Nรฃo pode resolver, isso pode ser incontestรกvel
Zona Crepรบsculo, viva a vida longa
Fumar um osso e bater em vocรช
Compre um zo ', e roote-o um jay
E colocรก-lo no E-I
E fiquemos bem fodidos atรฉ nรณs D-I
Tudo em conjunto agora, se vocรช concordar
E isqueiros no ar, repita depois de mim
Eu tambรฉm estou soprado, para sempre em um dia
Eu amo por oh assim
Porque todo mundo nรฃo รฉ verde.
Todo mundo nรฃo pode fumar como se fumemos
Dรช um cachorro a um osso
Eu gosto de รกrvores que crescem ciprestes
Enrole essa merda, pimpin ', estรก em
Stoners em todo o mundo cantando essa mรบsica
