I Love My MommaSnoop Dogg

Snoop Dogg, the hip-hop king who represents the West Coast.

And that doesn’t just mean his crew or labelmates—it also includes his real, blood-related family.

In this track, he expresses straightforward love for his mother.

Since the song incorporates R&B, if you listen only to the melody, it almost sounds like he’s trying to woo his mom (lol).
