Verzuz Cheat Sheet Playlist: Snoop Dogg x DMX
Playlist - 77 Songs
There’s an old adage in boxing that goes, “Styles make fights.” While the matchups of the Verzuz series are less fights than celebrations of parallel artistry, when you have a face-off like the one between veteran MCs and cultural icons Snoop Dogg and DMX—which you can watch right here on Apple Music on Wednesday July 22 at 5:00 PT—it’s a difficult axiom to ignore. Pick five different fans of Snoop Dogg and they might give you five different examples of how they’ve come to know the MC—writer behind hip-hop classics Doggystyle and The Chronic, linguistic innovator, ambassador to greater Los Angeles and California at large, cohost to Martha Stewart—the list goes on. The one thing they’d all have in common is Uncle Snoop’s perennially laidback demeanor—an unflappable cool enhanced, perhaps, by a long-professed love for marijuana. On the other hand, DMX—or “The Dog,” as he is known to both fans and collaborators—made his name a few years after Snoop first did with a remarkably aggressive rap delivery, typically boosted by landscape-shifting production from Dame Grease and future Verzuz co-creator Swizz Beatz. His personality, alluring in a completely different way than Snoop’s, was pure electricity, with X finding footing in Hollywood in the midst of a decade-long run of hit records that continue to spark mosh pits at parties. Each has more hits than you can remember—you can re-familiarize yourself with their very distinct but enduring catalogs by way of the official Snoop Dogg and DMX Cheat Sheet playlist, as curated by Apple Music host Lowkey.
