The discography of American rapper Snoop Dogg that includes 19 studio albums, five collaborative albums, 17 compilation albums, three extended plays, 25 mixtapes, 175 singles (including 112 as a featured artist), and 16 promotional singles. Dre's “ Deep Cover,” Snoop refers to himself as “Snoop Eastwood.” As for Dre, we can find the same honorific on “ A N*gga Witta Gun,” from 1992's The Chronic, a song that likely inspired his opening verse on 2Pac’s “ California Love.Snoop Dogg performing at City Stages in March 2006 Warren G wasn’t the only emcee framing California’s hip-hop scene as a lawless frontier, either. On Snoop’s “ For All My N*ggaz and Bitches,” from his 1993 debut Doggystyle, guest feature Kurupt spits: “ I'm cappin shit up like a Western flick.” One year earlier, in his debut appearance on Dr.
They’re often opportunists, exploiting societal lawlessness-courtesy of a broken justice system-in pursuing a better life. The Regulator, however, isn’t as much a career criminal as a desperado a figure committed to small-time robbery and the occasional murder. In donning a three-piece suit and assuming a style a la Capone, JAY-Z cast his meteoric rise as refined gangsterism. In channeling Escobar, Nas asserted his place at the top of the rap game.

Speaking of Nate, the crooner’s confidence with the gat serves to save Warren’s life, echoing the sentiment lifted directly from Young Guns: “You’ve gotta be handy with the steel, if you know what I mean.” For merely entering a game of dice, they catch our hero in a nigh-fatal bind. To many in his audience, this lawlessness is foreign-dying over a pair of dice conjures images of swinging saloon doors and hip-holster quickdraws.

Like The Regulators of old, Warren rolls deep, and he wastes no time name-checking the 213, the area code of his hometown of Long Beach, California and the moniker for his onetime rap group. We already know you can’t be any geek off the street, but it helps to have grown up in Long Beach, as the bulk of his collaborators-Nate Dogg, The Twinz, Tha Dove Shack, Jah Skillz, and Lady Levi-hail from the LBC.
