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.

(oh) oh we still in it, Dig This!(Pimp Time)
[Chorus: Snoop Dogg]
She was the type of girl to play (Which one of you bitches like me)
I met her just the other day (which one of you bitches like me)
As I walked off she just turned away (which one of you bitches like me)
[9 inch dix]
I saw you hanging with your friends (Which one of you bitches like me)
They was looking at my friends (Which one of you bitches like me)
But which one of y'all was checking out this pimped out player
Girl you don't have to pretend
Baby, I seen your home girls jocking ma ride
And oh baby which one of y'all will step off inside and roll away with me
[Chorus]
Which one of u bitches like me, which one of you bitches bitches [4x]
[Snoop Dogg (9 Inch Dix)]
We was at the party live (Which one of you bitches like me)
I was trying to livin' a delight (Which one of you bitches like me)
Then this skinny girls was everywhere
I had to stop pause and fix my hair, hand me my mirror Joral
She was big but she was cute (Which one of you bitches like me)
And I know that she had major moves (Which one of you bitches like me)
It really didn't matter what she weighed
See cause a big girl loves to play it with a player player (Heeey)
Bitches, I need your attention, who wanna ride in a pimped out Cadillac
But say (Hey) delicious you look sweet like candy
I gotta ride shotgun with a bad bitch in the back
No matter what you see or baby what you saw
If you stand tall we gonna ball through it all
And if the police come, Don't let me take a fall
Please stuff this work in the garage of withdrawal (Which one of u like me)
She was a major hoe, its all unforgettable, last time I see her though I'ma let her know
We been drinking having fun, me and you one on one, doing things holding hands,
Making someone tell me same, we been drinking having fun, me and you one on
One, doing things holding hands, making plans of your man
(Which one of you bitches like me!)
(yeah yea)
(Which one of you bitches gotta like me)
(yeah yea)
[Chorus]
Which one of you bitches like me, which one of you bitches bitches [Rpeats: x4]
The lyrics of Snoop Dogg's song, "Which One of You," present a male perspective on the dating and hookup culture. The song is about a man trying to find out which woman in the room is interested in him. The chorus is a repetitive question of "Which one of you bitches like me?" This line shows a sense of confidence and arrogance on the part of the singer. One of the verses is rapped by 9 Inch Dix who expresses interest in one woman who was ignoring him at a party. He boasts about his car and desires to show off to the woman. The rapper describes seeing her friends "jocking" his car, a slang term for admiring or flirting with someone. The song ends with Snoop Dogg describing being intimate with a woman who he met drinking alcohol, holding hands and making plans with, but doesn't remember much about. The song is embodying a toxic masculinity and objectifying women.
The lyrics of this song sparked criticism from various feminist groups who felt the lyrics were promoting disrespectful behavior towards women. Specifically, the use of the word "bitch" was commonly considered derogatory and demeaning. They claimed that the lyrics were degrading, and it was troubling that the song had been played in nightclubs and on the radio. Although there was controversy, the song was commercially successful and added to Dogg's popular discography.
