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.
This W**d Iz Mine
Snoop Dogg Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And it feels so good
Smokin' on some shit that you wish you could
Jealousy, envy, please don't feel bad
This weed iz mine, get your own bag
A sack full of OG under lock and key
None for the homies, this is all for me
I got a blunt lookin' like a jelly palm tree
'Cause the smoke's already in the air
I'm loped up with two braids in my hair
All star with the khaki suit
I'mma fuck around and take it
Back to classy suite
On the East Side standin' on the DIP
Back then my only weed was E-Y-E
You so PYT and you're lookin' so fine
I'm sorry, baby-girl, but tonight
This weed iz mine this weed iz mine
You can't have it this weed iz mine
This weed iz mine you can't have it
This weed iz mine
Get back to the episode, sacks full of honey
This is church music, listen to the choir
To burn my kush, you must use fire
D-O double G like never heard before
Smokin' that bomb like TAC-4
West Coast worldwide, sea shore to sea shore
When's the last time you seen the G in the G4
(What?) don't worry, I'll wait
Time's tickin', I'm trippin', I'm slippin'
I'll wait into the zone where these whores
On my dog bone
A dog whistle and they download my ring tone
And she's so hypnotized by this pimp's poem
What I got here is mine, go and get your own
I put beats to rhymes, get peace of mind
OZ's to dimes and this weed iz mine
This weed iz mine this weed iz mine
You can't have it this weed iz mine
This weed iz mine you can't have it
This weed iz mine
I hear niggers talkin' 'bout
What they rollin' up
Smell what I smoke 'fore the bag open up
Good chance if you see me down smokin' one
License to get a fundamental load of shit
Real nigga, blow a reefer, I is old enough
If I'm in a building
It's hard not to notice it
Hit a really sad dog
I got some whores to fuck
Don't trip, bitch, we go all set
Load a whole zip let you hit mine
Plus you supplyin' your own little bit
My nigga get high and let the whores twist
They ain't smokin' like us
I'm rollin' up haters
They be burnin' for hours and if it's found
I'm smokin' the whole thing inside
This weed iz mine this weed iz mine
You can't have it this weed iz mine
This weed iz mine you can't have it
This weed iz mine i got a roll for you
Do you wanna smoke with me?
I wanna smoke with you
Do you wanna smoke with me?
(I wanna smoke with you)
I got a roll for you
Do you wanna smoke with me?
(I got a roll for you, if you wanna smoke)
I wanna smoke with you, do you, do you
(Oh yeah, do you?)
Do you wanna smoke with me?
(I said I wanna smoke with you)
Do you wanna smoke with me?
(I wanna smoke with you) this weed iz mine
This weed
The lyrics of Snoop Dogg and Wiz Khalifa's song This W**d Iz Mine talk about their love for smoking weed and their ownership of it. They wake up early in the morning and feel good smoking the weed that others wish they could have. They address jealousy and envy, urging listeners not to feel bad and to get their own bag of weed. The lyrics also touch on the issue of police presence and the need to conceal their marijuana consumption from law enforcement. Snoop and Wiz reminisce about their past and Snoop hints at returning to his classic sound. They also talk about the quality of their weed, referencing the strain OG and indicating that it is reserved solely for them, and they question when was the last time anyone saw Snoop in a G4 plane, something that he has done frequently in the past. The hook of the song repeats the phrase "This weed is mine" firmly asserting their ownership and pride in their stash.
Overall, the song celebrates cannabis culture, the bonding that smoking together can produce, and the importance of owning one's choice to consume the substance.

Let's go back to talking about me carrying a lot of high-quality weed
Out of this world, Cooper Black's on the comic
My weed is so good that it feels like it's from another planet, just like the famous comic book writer Cooper Black
This is church music listen to the choir
This weed is so amazing that it's like listening to heavenly choir music
To burn my kush you must use fire

I'm representing the whole west coast and my love for weed can be felt all over the world
When's the last time you seen the G in the G4
When was the last time you saw me on my private jet, the G4?
Don't worry I'll wait
I'm not in a rush, take your time to think about it
Time's ticking I'm tripping
I'm running out of time and starting to worry
I'm slipping, I'll wait
I'm getting distracted but I'll wait for your response
Into the zone where these hoes hold my dog bones
I'm in my own world, where women take care of my needs and I enjoy my weed
I dog whistle and they download my ring tone
I call for them and they come running, like obedient dogs, and they're loyal to me like having my ring tone downloaded on their phones
And she's so hypnotized by this pimp's poem
The women are mesmerized by how smooth and charming I am
What I got here is mine go and get your own
I'm telling everyone that my weed is only for me and they need to find their own
I put peace to rhymes get piece of mind
I calm myself by writing rhymes and getting peace of mind from smoking my weed
O-Z to die 'cause this weed is mine
I have a lot of weed - enough to last a long time - and I'm not sharing it with anyone
I got a roll for you
I'm offering to share my already-rolled joint with you
Do you wanna smoke with me
Do you want to smoke this amazing weed with me?
I wanna smoke with you
I'm telling you that I want to smoke weed together
Do you, do you, do you
I'm emphasizing that I really want to smoke with you
