Snoop Dogg's Most Nostalgic Hip Hop Moments

Flashback to Snoop's most memorable moments in hip hop.

California Love? - Vibe captured the most controversial power figures of the time at once with this Death Row dynasty cover for February 1996. Tupac was fresh out of jail, newly signed to the label, and beefing with all of New York via songs like "Bomb First;" Snoop Dogg was still engaged in legal battles from a murder charge; and Suge Knight, as usual, was doing his best to keep his reputation up.(Photo: Vibe Magazine)
Dr. Dre, Featuring Snoop Dogg – 'Nuthin’ But a G Thang' - Snoop Doggy Dogg and Dr. Dre is at the door... to help you wind your child down for bedtime. Listen here.(Photo: Death Row Records)
Who Am I? - The George Clinton "Atomic Dog" sample is fitting for this Doggy Dog. Snoop is excellent when it comes to configuring a classic hip hop jam — he just doesn't miss. "Who Am I? (What's My Name?)" is the solo debut single from his album Doggystyle. (Photo: Death Row Records)
Bow Wow Wow - Nothing more "doggystyle" than taking over the cover of Vibe magazine with a title like "Bow Wow Wow." Snoop's debut album, Doggystyle, was highly anticipated, putting fans on edge to hear more and more from him. His slow, tongue-twisting twang captured people and made fans really gain that "California love." (Photo: Vibe Magazine)Deathrow Spokespersons - Let's keep it real! Snoop and Pac hit their peaks of fame under Death Row Records and it skyrocketed the hip hop dream team to became generational icons. They took over the carpet at the 1996 MTV Music Awards, which was Tupac's last appearance on MTV before his tragic death. (Photo: Chris Connor / WENN)
