From Doggystyle to recent collaborations, his voice has been a constant in rap for three decades.
For the classic Snoop sound, 'Doggystyle' is still the blueprint. If you want to hear how little that blueprint changed, put on 'Sexual Eruption' from 2008.
When Doggystyle dropped in 1993, that drawl felt like a whole new California. He kept that same easy delivery on tracks like 'Sexual Eruption' years later, and you can still hear it in the recent 'Big Subwoofer.' It's one of the most recognizable voices in the genre, never really changing even as everything around it did.
He came up working with Dr. Dre in the early '90s, which led straight to his debut Doggystyle. After that, he kept putting out albums like Tha Doggfather and Paid tha Cost to Be da Boss, right through to BODR in 2022. The work with 213 and later features on things like 'Young, Wild & Free' just filled in the spaces between his own records.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
