In the late ‘90s, West Coast rap was at its peak, and nobody represented that sound better than Snoop Dogg. By April 1999, he wasn’t just making music—he was proving his influence in the game. That’s when he dropped “Bitch Please,” featuring Xzibit and the legendary Nate Dogg, on his album No Limit Top Dogg. This wasn’t just another rap song—it was a bold statement about power, respect, and who really ran things. And with Dr. Dre on production, you already know the beat was knocking.
From the start, this track pulls you in with that signature West Coast sound—deep bass, hard-hitting drums, and smooth synths that give it that classic G-funk feel. The theme is simple: respect, credibility, and staying on top of the game. Xzibit brings his usual raw energy, while Snoop balances it out with his effortless cool. And then there’s Nate Dogg—his voice on the hook makes the track even smoother, giving it that undeniable West Coast vibe.
Snoop Dogg – Bitch Please ft. Xzibit
Xzibit opens up the track with an intense verse, hyping up West Coast hip-hop and giving props to Dr. Dre. He makes it clear that he’s a force to be reckoned with, even comparing himself to Mike Tyson—known for his unstoppable strength in the ring. His delivery is aggressive and confident, calling out fake rappers and showing why he belongs at the top. Then Snoop Dogg steps in, switching up the energy but keeping the message strong. His verse is all about confidence and success, talking about his money, his lifestyle, and how nobody can touch him. The chorus, carried by Nate Dogg, ties everything together, making it clear that only real ones get respect.
Xzibit’s second verse tells a darker story about a woman setting people up for robbery. It’s a reminder of how unpredictable life in the streets can be—one moment you’re on top, the next you could lose it all. By the end of the track, there’s no doubt that Snoop and Xzibit are sending a message: they’re here to stay, and they don’t entertain anything fake.
X- Xzibit, FT Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg
This wasn’t the only time Snoop Dogg and Xzibit teamed up for a hit. In 2000, Xzibit released “X,” another Dr. Dre-produced banger that became one of his biggest songs. Snoop doesn’t rap on the track, but he makes a cameo in the music video, showing their strong connection in hip-hop. “X” has the same West Coast energy—fast, confident, and impossible to ignore. It was the perfect follow-up to “Bitch Please,” proving that Xzibit had earned his place in the rap world.
The video for “X” captures that same energy filled with flashy cars, city streets, and a powerful performance from Xzibit. The beat is hard-hitting and Snoop’s quick appearance at the end feels like a stamp of approval. It’s clear that during this era, Snoop, Xzibit, and Dr. Dre were shaping the future of West Coast hip-hop.
Snoop Dogg, Xzibit, and Dr. Dre made more than just great songs—they set a standard for what real West Coast rap sounds like. Whether through “Bitch Please” or “X,” their music still hits just as hard today, proving that their influence in hip-hop will never fade.
