Snoop Dogg received the BMI Icon Award in 2011. The Washington Post, Billboard, and NME have called him a “West Coast icon”; and Press-Telegram, “an icon of gangsta rap”.
In 2006, Vibe magazine called him “The King of the West Coast”. The Guardian’s Rob Fitzpatrick has credited his album Doggystyle for proving that rappers “could reinvent themselves”, expanding rap’s vocabulary, changing hip-hop fashions, and helping introduce a hip-hop genre called G-funk to a new generation.
The album has been cited as an influence by rapper Kendrick Lamar, while fellow rappers ScHoolboy Q and Maxo Kream have also cited him as an influence.
ABC website’s Paul Donoughue has credited him among the 1990s acts that took hip-hop into the pop music charts.
