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 ↴
No, uh-uh excuse me wait baby treat yo' cash
And remind me when we get home to get going
And crack my whip and pack yo' shit
Befo' I 92.3 The Beat yo' ass!
No bitch look at me when I talk to you
I checked the bitch and said, "some shit?
No, shut up, you goin' do what I tell you to do!"
One pimping that, two pimping that, three pimping that
That bitch got off! (Say what my nigga Suga Free, what you say?)
Snoop say what? (Huh?) I said
I'm pimping that, you pimping that, she pimping that
That bitch does all!
Naw, pimping ain't easy (pimping ain't easy)
But hoeing ain't hard no (hoeing ain't hard no)
Baby you gon' have to hoe (hoe hoe hoe)
Or lady I'ma have to go (see ya, see ya!)
Suga Free, bitch that don't stand for some old nice ass nigga
Trying to get some pussy and you trying to get some of this dick free
I'm live ta be a old-ass pimp with cataracts
Reminiscing on regular park trees with the homies
And slapping bitches in Cadillac's
[Chorus]
I wish you wouldn't trust me so much
I wish you wouldn't trust me so much!
I wish you wouldn't trust me so much
I wish you wouldn't trust me so much! Hey
[Sylk E. Fine]
Now check me, I'm in a helluva situation
I got LOVE for the home girl but it ain't no escaping
Now I've been waiting fo' the chance fo' me to do my thing
Cause when I go out baby, I GO OUT with a bang! (bang bang)
Thursday night, 'bout to hang out at the House of Blues
Fresh attire, new shoes, plus a new, hairdo, Whoo!
I'm mesmerized by the music that they bump in the club
I see my homegirl man (whas' happening, whas' up?)
Lookin like he need some love
And everytime I see him, he been givin me the eye
Cause he my type and I'm his type and plus we love to ride
Imagine that, off we left
Hot sweat hot sex it ain't like we just met (ahh, yeah, yeah)
Why she trust me? Since his girl went on a little trip
I made his sweat drip, he made me strip
It ain't my fault he in a fucked up relationship
That just go to show, you never know who you dealing with
Love over friendship, that's why I live my life trustless, yeah
[Chorus]
[Snoop Dogg]
Hmm, I spent the night at the homie's house, shit
Slept in his living room, on his couch
Nigga high'n a motherfucker burnt out (shit)
Before you know it, god damn, the homie chirped out (damn!)
And he ain't said shit, he just dip in his Seville as he peel
Left me at the pad with his girl, damn, what the deal?
Now baby got a gown on, getting her clown on
As she slid downstairs, now she taking me down home
Cheating in the next room in the homeboy's bedroom
Am I wrong? Shit, on and on and on and on
Now what am I to do if you was me and I was you
His baby momma in my face, she shaking poo-poo, what would you do?
Trust is a motherfucking loco, shit
And so is temptation, and I don't know what I'ma do
Come on through (come on through) so I can cum on you (cum on you)
Shit if the homey knew (if the homey knew) if the homey knew
(if the homey knew)

The song "Trust Me" by Snoop Dogg, featuring Sylk E. Fine and Suga Free, is a song that talks about trust issues in relationships. The lyrics are about how trust is hard to come by and how easily someone can betray one's trust. Suga Free is saying he has control over his partner and she must obey him, referring to a pimp and hoe dynamic. Sylk E. Fine sings about how she betrayed her friend's trust by cheating with her friend's man. Snoop Dogg chimes in with his own story about being left alone with his friend's girlfriend and cheating.
The song highlights the fact that trust is essential in any relationship, but it is also the most fragile. It is easy to break trust, and once it's gone, it is challenging to rebuild it. Trust issues can cause problems not only in romantic relationships but also in other relationships.
Line by Line Meaning
No, uh-uh excuse me wait baby treat yo' cash
Hey girl, don't be spending your money carelessly
And remind me when we get home to get going
Please remind me to leave as soon as we get back home
And crack my whip and pack yo' shit
Get ready to leave immediately
Befo' I 92.3 The Beat yo' ass!
Before I beat you up, like how they do it on radio station 92.3 The Beat
No bitch look at me when I talk to you
Listen when I'm talking to you, don't look away or ignore me
I checked the bitch and said, "some shit?
I confronted her and said, "what's your problem?"
No, shut up, you goin' do what I tell you to do!"
Be quiet! Do what I'm telling you to do!
Now name three motherfuckers you can call, you can't
Tell me, who can you call for help when you need it?
One pimping that, two pimping that, three pimping that
You don't have anyone to call, because every guy you know is a pimp
That bitch got off! (Say what my nigga Suga Free, what you say?)
That bitch is free! (What do you say, Suga Free?)
Snoop say what? (Huh?) I said
Hey Snoop, what do you think? I'm saying
I'm pimping that, you pimping that, she pimping that
We are all pimps in some way, shape, or form
That bitch does all!
That girl does anything and everything
Naw, pimping ain't easy (pimping ain't easy)
Being a pimp is difficult
But hoeing ain't hard no (hoeing ain't hard no)
However, being a hoe is not difficult
Baby you gon' have to hoe (hoe hoe hoe)
So woman, you need to work as a prostitute
Or lady I'ma have to go (see ya, see ya!)
Otherwise, I'm going to leave
Suga Free, bitch that don't stand for some old nice ass nigga
Hey, I am Suga Free. I don't represent some soft and kind man
Trying to get some pussy and you trying to get some of this dick free
You think you can have sex with me for free. But, that's not happening
I'm live ta be a old-ass pimp with cataracts
I will live to be a very old pimp, so old that I will have cataracts in my eyes
Reminiscing on regular park trees with the homies
I'll think back about the simple times spent with my friends in the park
And slapping bitches in Cadillac's
Also, I will think back about the times when I hit women in a Cadillac car
[Chorus]
Chorus
I wish you wouldn't trust me so much
I wish you wouldn't rely on me so much
I wish you wouldn't trust me so much!
I wish you wouldn't rely on me so much!
I wish you wouldn't trust me so much! Hey
I wish you wouldn't rely on me so much! Hey

Sylk E. Fine's part begins here
Now check me, I'm in a helluva situation
Listen to me, I am dealing with a terrible problem
I got LOVE for the home girl but it ain't no escaping
I care about my friend, but I feel trapped
Now I've been waiting fo' the chance fo' me to do my thing
I have been waiting for an opportunity to do what I want
Cause when I go out baby, I GO OUT with a bang! (bang bang)
When I go out, I go out with a big entrance and a performance.
Thursday night, 'bout to hang out at the House of Blues
On Thursday night, I'm planning to go to the House of Blues
Fresh attire, new shoes, plus a new, hairdo, Whoo!
I will be wearing fresh clothes and new shoes, and have a new hairstyle, whoa!
I'm mesmerized by the music that they bump in the club
I'm captivated by the music playing in the club
I see my homegirl man (whas' happening, whas' up?)
I see my friend's boyfriend there (what's happening?)
Lookin like he need some love
He looks like he lacks attention and affection
And everytime I see him, he been givin me the eye
Every time I see him, he is looking at me in a suggestive way
Cause he my type and I'm his type and plus we love to ride
He is my type and I am his type, plus we enjoy riding together
Imagine that, off we left
So, we decided to leave together
Hot sweat hot sex it ain't like we just met (ahh, yeah, yeah)
We had passionate sex and we acted like we had been doing it for a long time
Why she trust me? Since his girl went on a little trip
I wonder why his girlfriend trusts me, especially since she went on a trip
I made his sweat drip, he made me strip
I seduced him and he made me undress
It ain't my fault he in a fucked up relationship
I'm not to blame for his messed up relationship
That just go to show, you never know who you dealing with
It just goes to show that you never know who you're dealing with
Love over friendship, that's why I live my life trustless, yeah
Love is more important than friendship, that's why I don't trust people

Snoop Dogg's part begins here
Hmm, I spent the night at the homie's house, shit
I spent the night at my friend's house, damn!
Slept in his living room, on his couch
I slept on his couch in his living room
Nigga high'n a motherfucker burnt out (shit)
I was extremely high and burnt out
Before you know it, god damn, the homie chirped out (damn!)
The next thing I knew, my friend seemed to have disappeared
And he ain't said shit, he just dip in his Seville as he peel
He didn't say anything, he just left in his Seville (car)
Left me at the pad with his girl, damn, what the deal?
He left me at home with his girlfriend, what's going on?
Now baby got a gown on, getting her clown on
Now she is dressed in a gown, trying to seduce me
As she slid downstairs, now she taking me down home
She's coming down the stairs and taking me to our bedroom
Cheating in the next room in the homeboy's bedroom
We're cheating in his bedroom, which is right beside us
Am I wrong? Shit, on and on and on and on
Is what I'm doing wrong? I don't know, it just keeps going on and on!
Now what am I to do if you was me and I was you
If our roles were reversed, what would you do?
His baby momma in my face, she shaking poo-poo, what would you do?
What if his baby mama comes to us, shaking and upset, then what?
Trust is a motherfucking loco, shit
Trust is crazy as hell
And so is temptation, and I don't know what I'ma do
So is temptation, and honestly, I don't know what to do
Come on through (come on through) so I can cum on you (cum on you)
Come over (come over) so I can have sex with you
Shit if the homey knew (if the homey knew) if the homey knew
Damn, if my friend found out (if he knew), if he knew...
