After thousands of fans chimed in on the hashtag #WhenSnoopBuysTwitter, the Tesla creator also commented on Snoop’s original tweet, “May have 2 buy Twitter now,” in which Elon responded with two fire emojis.

Snoop responded to Elon’s tweet writing, “You bring the fire I’ll bring the smoke!! [fire emoji] [smoke emoji].

10 Of Snoop Dogg’s Best Songs

• 10. “Lodi Dodi” ft. Nancy Fletcher ‘Doggystyle’ (1993)

  Share

  Snoop puts his own West Coast twist on Doug E Fresh’s classic “La Di Da Di”, which featured Slick Rick. The 1993 track "Lodi Dodi" is on the California rapper's debut album 'Doggystyle.' The song also features a guest appearance from vocalist Nancy Fletcher.

• 9. “Murder Was The Case” ‘Doggystyle’ (1993)

  Share

  The name of this track seemed to mirror Snoop's life at the time. Before releasing "Murder Was The Case," the 'Doggystyle' artist was charged with the murder of a gang member named Philip Woldemariam. Snoop didn't pull the trigger but he was driving the Jeep when his bodyguard McKinley Lee pulled up on Woldemariam and shot him. Lee and Snoop were both charged with murder and freed on bail on Death Row's bill. In 1996, both Lee and Snoop were found not guilty. The line "murder was the case" comes from a Snoop Dogg verse on the Dr. Dre song "Lil' Ghetto Boy," which was released on Dre's debut solo album 'The Chronic' about a year earlier.

If you've got a great idea, which was started by Bruno, and me and Wiz, we take it to the next level, gave it back to Bruno. He tightened up the edges, and now it's a complete situation." "Young, Wild, and Free" was nominated for "Best Rap Song" at the 55th Grammy Awards. The song is currently six-times platinum status with the RIAA.

• 1. “Gin and Juice” ‘Doggystyle’ (1993)

  Share

  You can't think of Snoop Dogg and not think about his '93 classic hit "Gin and Juice." "Gin and Juice" is featured on Snoop's debut album 'Doggystyle' which was produced by Dr. Dre. "Gin And Juice" was Snoop Dogg's second single, but the rapper had gotten a headstart and began establishing himself as an artist by featuring in several songs on Dr. Dre's 'The Chronic.' Snoop talked about the origin of the song per HipHopHero: "Gin and juice was the choice of drink for a young playa. 1991, 1992, you didn't really have a lot of money, you go get that gin. When it came time to make the record, 'Doggystyle', that was my thing: Every day I would come to the studio with my bottle of gin and juice in it, and Dre would have a big-a-- milk jug full of gin and juice. We were in the studio one day and someone was singing that Slave song, 'Watching You.' We flipped it into 'Rollin' down the street, smokin indo, sippin' on gin and juice,' and made it happen from there." The song was nominated for "Best Rap Song" at the 37th Grammy Awards.
