In sixth grade, Snoop Dogg began rapping. He would frequently rap in school, as he recalled: "When I rapped in the hallways at school I would draw such a big crowd that the principal would think there was a fight going on. It made me begin to realize that I had a gift. I could tell that my raps interested people and that made me interested in myself".

In his teenage years, Snoop Dogg began engaging in unlawful activities and joining gangs, despite his mother's preventive efforts. He was a member of the Rollin' 20s Crips gang in the Eastside neighborhood of Long Beach;{{cite magazine|author=Toure|title=America's Most Lovable Pimp|url=https://www.rollingstone.com/news/story/12676363/cover_story_americas_most_lovable_pimp/print| magazine= Rolling Stone |date= December 14, 2006|url-status=dead| archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080621111652/http://www.rollingstone.com/news/story/12676363/cover_story_americas_most_lovable_pimp/print| archive-date=June 21, 2008}} in 1993, however, he denied the frequent police and media reports by saying that he never joined a gang. Shortly after graduating from Long Beach Polytechnic High School in 1989, he was arrested for possession of cocaine, and for the next three years was frequently incarcerated, including at Wayside Jail. With his two cousins, Nate Dogg and Lil' ½ Dead, and friend Warren G, he recorded homemade tapes, with one titled Over the Counter attracting some label interest.{{Citation needed|date=January 2025}} The four called their group 213 after the area code of their native Long Beach at that time, and recorded their first four-song demo at their local VIP Records store.{{Cite web |last1=Quinones |first1=Sam |last2=Times |first2=Los Angeles |date=2012-02-07 |title=World Famous VIP Records in Long Beach struggles to stay relevant |url=https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-2012-feb-07-la-me-vip-records-20120207-story.html |access-date=2025-04-01 |website=Los Angeles Times |language=en-US}} One of Snoop's early solo freestyles over "Hold On" by En Vogue was on a mixtape that fortuitously wound up with Dr. Dre; the influential producer was so impressed by the sample that he called Snoop Dogg to audition in 1991 for his label Death Row Records (then known as Future Shock). Former N.W.A affiliate, American rapper Tracy Lynn Curry, better known as The D.O.C., taught him to structure his lyrics and separate the themes into verses, hooks, and choruses.According to Snoop Dogg's memoirs, as told by himself in VH1 Hip Hop Honors 2007

When he began recording, the young rapper took the stage name Snoop Doggy Dogg. He was introduced to Dr. Dre by Warren G, who gave him Snoop Dogg's cassette tape. Snoop Dogg then signed with Dre's label, Future Shock Records (which later became known as Death Row Records).{{cite web|author=Neil Strauss|url=https://thesource.com/2017/06/30/cold-snoop-dogg-rapper-helped-make-death-row-label-household-name-bids-independence/|title=IN FROM THE COLD – SNOOP DOGG, THE RAPPER WHO HELPED MAKE THE 'DEATH ROW' LABEL A HOUSEHOLD NAME, BIDS FOR INDEPENDENCE|publisher=The Source|date=June 30, 2017|accessdate=March 29, 2024|archive-date=June 16, 2024|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240616182840/https://thesource.com/2017/06/30/cold-snoop-dogg-rapper-helped-make-death-row-label-household-name-bids-independence/|url-status=live}} Dr. Dre began working with him, first on the theme song of the 1992 film Deep Cover, and then on Dr. Dre's debut solo album The Chronic, along with the other members of his former starting group, Tha Dogg Pound. This intense exposure played a considerable part in making Snoop Dogg's debut album, Doggystyle, the critical and commercial success that it was.

Fueling the ascendance of West Coast G-funk hip hop, the singles "Who Am I (What's My Name)?" and "Gin and Juice" reached the top ten most-played songs in the United States, and the album stayed on the Billboard charts for several months. Gangsta rap became the center of arguments about censorship and labeling, with Snoop Dogg often used as an example of violent and misogynistic musicians.{{cite news|last=Holden|first=Stephen|title=How Pop Music Lost the Melody|url=https://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=9C06E3DD143CF930A35754C0A962958260&sec=&spon=|work=The New York Times|date=July 3, 1994|access-date=July 4, 2008|archive-date=December 16, 2008|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081216124020/http://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=9C06E3DD143CF930A35754C0A962958260&sec=&spon=&pagewanted=all|url-status=live}} Unlike many of the harder-edged gangsta rap artists, Snoop Dogg seemed to show his softer side, according to music journalist Chuck Philips. Rolling Stone music critic Touré asserted that Snoop Dogg had a relatively soft vocal delivery compared to other rappers: "Snoop's vocal style is part of what distinguishes him: where many rappers scream, figuratively and literally, he speaks softly". Doggystyle, much like The Chronic, featured a host of rappers signed to or affiliated with the Death Row label including Daz Dillinger, Kurupt, Nate Dogg, and others.

In 1993, Snoop Dogg was charged with first-degree murder for the shooting of a member of a rival gang, who was actually killed by Snoop Dogg's bodyguard.{{cite web|url=https://www.thewrap.com/snoop-doggs-1993-murder-trial-to-be-adapted-into-starz-miniseries-from-50-cent/|title=Snoop Dogg's 1993 Murder Trial|date=December 13, 2021|access-date=February 12, 2022|archive-date=December 13, 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211213231923/https://www.thewrap.com/snoop-doggs-1993-murder-trial-to-be-adapted-into-starz-miniseries-from-50-cent/|url-status=live}} Snoop Dogg was acquitted on February 20, 1996, and the case was finally closed in 2024.{{cite web |url=https://hiphopdx.com/news/snoop-dogg-1993-murder-charge-sealed |title=Snoop Dogg Given Clean Slate As 1993 Murder Charge Gets Sealed |last=Mendez |first=Marisa |publisher=hiphopdx.com |date=October 10, 2024 |accessdate=October 11, 2024 |archive-date=November 8, 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20241108123040/https://hiphopdx.com/news/snoop-dogg-1993-murder-charge-sealed |url-status=live }} According to Snoop Dogg, after he was acquitted he did not want to continue living the "gangsta" lifestyle, because he felt that continuing his behavior would result in his assassination or a prison term.Archived at [https://ghostarchive.org/varchive/youtube/20211211/HiVGxB7yO-k Ghostarchive]{{cbignore}} and the [https://web.archive.org/web/20180313144121/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HiVGxB7yO-k&gl=US&hl=en Wayback Machine]{{cbignore}}: {{Citation|last=Now What?|title=Snoop Dogg – #18 – Now What? with Arian Foster|date=February 28, 2018 |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HiVGxB7yO-k|access-date=December 17, 2018}}{{cbignore}} A short film about Snoop Dogg's murder trial, Murder Was the Case, was released in 1994, along with an accompanying soundtrack. On July 6, 1995, Doggy Style Records, Inc., a record label founded by Snoop Dogg, was registered with the California Secretary of State as business entity number C1923139.{{cite web|url=https://businessfilings.sos.ca.gov/frmDetail.asp?CorpID=01923139|title=California Secretary of State Business Search – Business Entities – Business Programs|access-date=November 7, 2010|archive-date=July 21, 2011|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110721033808/https://businessfilings.sos.ca.gov/frmDetail.asp?CorpID=01923139|url-status=live}}

After his acquittal, Snoop Dogg and the mother of his son, along with their kennel of 20 pit bulls, moved into a {{convert|5000|ft2|m2|adj=on}} home in the hills of Claremont, California and by August 1996 Doggy Style Records, a subsidiary of Death Row Records, signed the Gap Band's Charlie Wilson as one of its first artists.{{cite news|title= Trying to Get His Bite Back.

This was one of Shakur's last songs released while alive; he was shot on September 7, 1996, in Las Vegas, dying six days later.

By the time Snoop Dogg's second album, Tha Doggfather, was released in November 1996, the price of appearing to be a gang member "living the gangsta life" had become very evident. Among the many notable hip hop industry deaths and convictions were the death of Snoop Dogg's friend and labelmate Tupac Shakur and the racketeering indictment of Death Row co-founder Suge Knight. Dr. Dre had left Death Row earlier in 1996 because of a contract dispute, so Snoop Dogg co-produced Tha Doggfather with Daz Dillinger and DJ Pooh.

This album featured a distinct change of style from Doggystyle, and the leadoff single, "Snoop's Upside Ya Head", featured a collaboration with Charlie Wilson. The album sold reasonably well but was not as successful as its predecessor. Tha Doggfather had a somewhat softer approach to the G-funk style. Snoop Dogg was scheduled to release an EP titled Doggumentary on July 8, 1997, but the album had been canceled.{{cite web|url=https://www.mtv.com/news/u7cgfq/snoop-doggy-dog-packs-4-new-tracks-4-remixes-on-new-ep|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181105131805/http://www.mtv.com/news/448/snoop-doggy-dog-packs-4-new-tracks-4-remixes-on-new-ep/|url-status=dead|archive-date=November 5, 2018|title=Snoop Doggy Dog Packs 4 New Tracks, 4 Remixes On New EP|publisher=Sonicnet|via=MTV.com|date=June 24, 1997|accessdate=June 28, 2024}} Despite this, a music video was released for its projected first single, Midnight Love. Snoop Dogg realized that he was subject to an ironclad time-based contract (i.e., that Death Row practically owned anything he produced for a number of years), and refused to produce anymore tracks for Suge Knight other than the insulting "Fuck Death Row" until his contract expired. In an interview with Neil Strauss in 1998, Snoop Dogg said that though he had been given lavish gifts by his former label, they had withheld his royalty payments.Strauss, Neil. Everyone Loves You When You're Dead: Journeys into Fame and Madness. New York: HarperCollins, 2011, p. 12–13

Stephen Thomas Erlewine of Allmusic said that after Tha Doggfather, Snoop Dogg began "moving away from his gangsta roots toward a calmer lyrical aesthetic": for instance, Snoop Dogg participated in the 1997 Lollapalooza concert tour, which featured mainly alternative rock music. Troy J. Augusto of Variety noted that Snoop's set at Lollapalooza attracted "much dancing, and, strangely, even a small mosh pit" in the audience.{{cite news|url=https://www.variety.com/review/VE1117906356.html?categoryid=31&cs=1|title=Lollapalooza 1997|last=Augusto|first=Troy J.|date=July 1, 1997|work=Variety|access-date=June 28, 2024|archive-date=August 4, 2009|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090804052128/http://www.variety.com/review/VE1117906356.html?categoryid=31&cs=1|url-status=dead}}

Snoop Dogg signed with Master P's No Limit Records (distributed by Priority/EMI Records) in March 1998 and debuted on the label with Da Game Is to Be Sold, Not to Be Told later that year. He said at the time that "Snoop Dogg is universal so he can fit into any camp-especially a camp that knows how to handmake shit[;] [a]nd, No Limit hand makes material.

In 2002, he released the album Paid tha Cost to Be da Bo$$, on Priority/Capitol/EMI, selling over 1,310,000 copies. The album featured the hit singles "From tha Chuuuch to da Palace" and "Beautiful", featuring guest vocals by Pharrell. In the same year, he featured in the remix of "Welcome to Atlanta" by Jermaine Dupri. By this stage in his career, Snoop Dogg had left behind his "gangster" image and embraced a "pimp" image.

In June 2004, Snoop Dogg signed to Geffen Records/Star Trak Entertainment, both distributed by Interscope Records; Star Trak is headed by producer duo the Neptunes,{{cite web|title=Snoop Signs With Neptunes For Next Step In Long Label Trek|url=http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1488430/20040615/snoop_dogg.jhtml|last=Patel|first=Joseph|publisher=MTV News|date=June 15, 2004|language=en|access-date=June 28, 2024|archive-date=June 18, 2004|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20040618215910/http://www.mtv.com:80/news/articles/1488430/20040615/snoop_dogg.jhtml|url-status=dead}} which produced several tracks for Snoop's 2004 release R&G (Rhythm & Gangsta): The Masterpiece. "Drop It Like It's Hot" (featuring Pharrell), the first single released from the album, was a hit and became Snoop Dogg's first single to reach number one. His third release was "Signs", featuring Justin Timberlake and Charlie Wilson, which entered the UK chart at No. 2. This was his highest entry ever in the UK chart. The album sold 1,730,000 copies in the U.S. alone, and most of its singles were heavily played on radio and television. Snoop Dogg joined Warren G and Nate Dogg to form the group 213 and released The Hard Way in 2004. Debuting at No.4 on the Billboard 200 and No.1 on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums, it included the single "Groupie Luv". Snoop Dogg appeared in the music video for Korn's "Twisted Transistor" along with fellow rappers Lil Jon, Xzibit, and David Banner.

Snoop Dogg appeared on two tracks from Ice Cube's 2006 album Laugh Now, Cry Later, including "Go to Church", and on several tracks on Tha Dogg Pound's Cali Iz Active the same year. His song "Real Talk" was leaked on the Internet in the summer of 2006 and a video was later released on the Internet. "Real Talk" was dedicated to former Crips leader Stanley "Tookie" Williams and a diss to Arnold Schwarzenegger, the governor of California. Two other singles on which Snoop Dogg made a guest performance were "Keep Bouncing" by Too $hort (also with will.i.am of the Black Eyed Peas) and "Gangsta Walk" by Coolio.

Snoop's 2006 album Tha Blue Carpet Treatment debuted on the Billboard 200 at No.5 and sold over 850,000 copies. The album and the second single "That's That Shit" featuring R. Kelly were well received by critics. In the album, he collaborated in a video with E-40 and other West Coast rappers on the single "Candy (Drippin' Like Water)".

In July 2007, Snoop Dogg made history by becoming the first artist to release a track as a ringtone before its release as a single, "It's the D.O.G".

Donald Etra, Snoop Dogg's lawyer, told deputies the baton was a prop for a musical sketch. Snoop Dogg was sentenced to three years' probation and 160 hours of community service for the incident, starting in September 2007.{{cite news |date=September 20, 2007 |title=Snoop Dogg gets probation for airport bust |work=Reuters |url=https://www.reuters.com/article/peopleNews/idUSN2040794720070922 |url-status=live |access-date=July 30, 2009 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090804013937/http://www.reuters.com/article/peopleNews/idUSN2040794720070922 |archive-date=August 4, 2009}} He was arrested again in October 2006 at Bob Hope Airport in Burbank after being stopped for a traffic infraction; he was arrested for possession of a firearm and for suspicion of transporting an unspecified amount of marijuana, according to a police statement.{{cite web |date=October 26, 2006 |title=Snoop Dogg arrested at Bob Hope Airport |url=https://www.dailynews.com/general-news/20061026/snoop-dogg-arrested-at-bob-hope-airport |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220215002519/https://www.dailynews.com/2006/10/26/snoop-dogg-arrested-at-bob-hope-airport/ |archive-date=February 15, 2022 |access-date=May 16, 2020 |website=Daily News |language=en-US}} The following month, after taping an appearance on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, he was arrested again for possession of marijuana, cocaine and a firearm.

He was also prohibited from hiring anyone with a criminal record or gang affiliation as a security guard, talent manager or driver.

Snoop Dogg, after performing for a concert in Uppsala, Sweden, on July 25, 2015, was pulled over and detained by Swedish police for allegedly using illegal drugs, violating a Swedish law enacted in 1988 which criminalized the recreational use of such substances – therefore making even being under the influence of any illegal/controlled substance a crime itself without possession. During the detention he was taken to the police station to perform a drug test and was released shortly afterwards. The rapid test was positive for traces of narcotics and he was potentially subject to fines depending on the results of more detailed analysis.{{cite web |date=July 31, 2015 |title=Snoop Dogg's initial drug test positive say police |url=http://www.thelocal.se/20150731/snoop-doggs-initial-drug-test-positive-swedish-police |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150803023459/http://www.thelocal.se/20150731/snoop-doggs-initial-drug-test-positive-swedish-police |archive-date=August 3, 2015 |access-date=August 8, 2015 |website=TheLocal.se}}{{Cite magazine |date=July 26, 2015 |title=Snoop Dogg Arrested in Sweden on Drug Suspicions, Alleges Racial Profiling |url=http://www.billboard.com/articles/columns/the-juice/6642085/snoop-dogg-arrested-in-sweden-on-drug-suspicions-alleges-racial |url-status=live |magazine=Billboard |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200227043405/https://www.billboard.com/articles/columns/the-juice/6642085/snoop-dogg-arrested-in-sweden-on-drug-suspicions-alleges-racial |archive-date=February 27, 2020 |access-date=May 16, 2020}} Although final results "strongly" indicated drug use the charges were ultimately dropped because it could not be proven that he was in Sweden when he consumed the substances.{{cite news |date=January 8, 2016 |title=Snoop Dogg won't face drug charges in Sweden |newspaper=The Local Sweden |url=https://www.thelocal.se/20160108/snoop-dogg-wont-face-drug-charges-in-sweden |url-status=live |access-date=September 15, 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201023063213/https://www.thelocal.se/20160108/snoop-dogg-wont-face-drug-charges-in-sweden |archive-date=October 23, 2020}} The rapper uploaded several videos on the social networking site Instagram criticizing the police for alleged racial profiling; police spokesman Daniel Nilsson responded to the accusations, saying: "we don't work like that in Sweden".

Snoop Dogg, Compton rapper Jayceon "the Game" Taylor and group Tha Dogg Pound, were sued for assaulting a fan on stage at a May 2005 concert at the White River Amphitheatre in Auburn, Washington.
