Snoop Dogg Trivia: Beyond the G-Funk

The facts behind the hits are where a Snoop round is won: a debut that opened at number one, a first solo chart-topper that took more than a decade, and the reggae detour that gave him a second name.

✦Snoop Dogg's first appearance on record was as a guest, not a headliner: he opens Dr. Dre's 1992 hit 'Nuthin' but a G Thang' before ever releasing a solo single of his own.

✦His 1993 debut album Doggystyle entered the Billboard 200 at number one, a rare feat for a debut at the time.

✦'Drop It Like It's Hot', produced by Pharrell and The Neptunes, gave Snoop his first Billboard Hot 100 number one in 2004, more than a decade into his career.

✦He topped the pop chart again as a guest, on Katy Perry's 'California Gurls' in 2010, showing how often his biggest radio moments are other artists' singles.

✦In 2012 he recorded a full reggae album as Snoop Lion, one of several aliases he has performed under, alongside the funk project Snoopzilla.

How Well Do You Know Snoop Dogg's Catalog?

His catalog splits into clear tiers. Start with the West Coast singles everyone knows, then work through the guest verses, the Death Row deep cuts and the reggae reinventions to see where you slip.

The headline hits (where casual fans score)

Start with the songs that are unmistakably his. 'Gin and Juice', 'Who Am I (What's My Name)?' and 'Drop It Like It's Hot' are Snoop Dogg singles top to bottom, and most players name them from the first bar. These are the easy points before the feature traps begin.

The guest verses (where the quiz gets tricky)

Here is where a Snoop quiz bites. 'California Gurls' is Katy Perry's, 'Young, Wild & Free' is Wiz Khalifa's and 'Signs' is Justin Timberlake's. Snoop only features on each, so the trap is a chart-topper everyone hums that is not actually a Snoop record.

The Death Row roots (where superfans pull ahead)

Long-time fans separate on the early West Coast catalog: his scene-stealing turn on Dr. Dre's 'Nuthin' but a G Thang', the Doggystyle deep cuts and his work alongside 2Pac at Death Row. Place these from a short clip and you are in the top tier.

The aliases and reinventions (the curveballs)

The trickiest questions sit at the edges of his catalog. The 2012 reggae album as Snoop Lion, the 2013 funk project Snoopzilla and his 2018 gospel record Bible of Love all sound unlike the G-funk he built his name on. A thorough Snoop quiz reaches for them.

Which songs in the quiz are actually Snoop Dogg's?

Headline records like 'Gin and Juice', 'Who Am I (What's My Name)?' and 'Drop It Like It's Hot' are all his. The catch is the features: 'California Gurls', 'Young, Wild & Free' and 'Nuthin' but a G Thang' are hits he only guests on, not Snoop singles.

How hard is the Snoop Dogg quiz?

The singles are easy points, but Snoop has one of rap's longest lists of guest appearances, so the trap is a song everyone knows that belongs to another artist. Telling his headline tracks from his features is what makes it tricky.

What is Snoop Dogg's real name?

He was born Calvin Cordozar Broadus Jr. in Long Beach, California, in 1971. He has also recorded as Snoop Lion for a 2012 reggae album and as Snoopzilla for a funk project.
