Calvin Cordozar Broadus, Jr. (born October 20, 1971), better known by his stage name Snoop Dogg (formerly known as Snoop Doggy Dogg), is an American rapper, record producer, and actor. Snoop is best known as a rapper in the West Coast hip hop scene, and for being one of Dr. Dre's most notable protégés. Snoop Dogg was a Crip gang member while in high school. Shortly after graduation, he was arrested for cocaine possession and spent six months in Wayside County Jail. His music career began in 1992 after his release when he was discovered by Dr. Dre. He collaborated on several tracks on Dre's solo debut, The Chronic and on the titular theme song to the film Deep Cover.
Snoop's debut album Doggystyle, was released in 1993 under Death Row Records making a debut at No.1 on both the Billboard 200 and R&B charts. Selling almost a million copies in the first week of its release, Doggystyle quickly became certified 4× platinum in 1994 and spawned several hit singles, including "What's My Name" and "Gin & Juice". In 1994, Snoop released a soundtrack on Death Row Records for the short film Murder Was The Case, starring himself. In early 1996, Snoop Dogg was cleared of charges over his bodyguard's 1993 murder of Philip Woldemariam. His second album, late 1996's Tha Doggfather, also debuted at No.1 on both charts with "Snoop's Upside Ya Head" as the lead single. The album sold only half as well, being certified double platinum in 1997.
Now who get down on the floor
Got money to blow
You and me got money to go
Hop into... got DJ... back
Check the status who is bad
I came to furnish it down
Don't snooze
You might lose the spot
[Chorus]
Tell me who's the shit like me...
Grab my swag when I walk like me
Even when they track and get
You ain't seen one yet like me
And if you did don't do it like me
Man, I swear they can't do it
You can't do it like me
You can't do it like me
You can't do it like me
You can't do it like me
You can't do it like me
You can't do it like me
Who go... like...
Got them boys say who that
They think they could get bad
... moving nice and slow
Ain't got you ready to blow...
[Chorus]
Tell me who's the shit like me...
Grab my swag when I walk like me
Even when they track and get
You ain't seen one yet like me
And if you did don't do it like me
Man, I swear they can't do it
You can't do it like me
You can't do it like me
You can't do it like me
You can't do it like me
You can't do it like me
You can't do it like me
Bet you can't do it like me
I am hot tube... like me
I ain't got to ask... who got...
If your system... turn me up
Watch me tick my body like a tambourine
And the way you spit and stress... Standing by the bar
In the middle of the floor
Everybody know who I are
You can't do it like me
You can't do it like me
You can't do it like me
You can't do it like me
You can't do it like me
You can't do it like me
You can't do it like me
You can't do it like me
You can't do it like me
You can't do it like me
You can't do it like me
