Round 12
DMX “What These B—–s Want” and Snoop Dogg feat. Pharrell and Charlie Wilson “Beautiful”
Snoop’s “Beautiful” is a classic love song that’s perfect music while on a picnic with your significant other. However, DMX’s “What These B—–s Want” recently found new life as a social media challenge.
Winner: DMX
Round 13
DMX “How’s It Goin’ Down” and Snoop Dogg “Pump Pump”
Snoop made sure to go back to Doggystyle with the lyrical “Pump Pump.” But DMX won this round with his love letter to a woman he desires on “How’s It Goin’ Down.”
Winner: DMX
Round 14
DMX “It’s All Good” and Dr. Dre feat. Snoop Dogg “B—–s Ain’t S—“
Snoop won this round by reaching back to grab this gem from The Chronic album. Although misogynistic by today’s standards, the vibe is undeniable.
Winner: Snoop
Round 15
DMX “Slippin'” and Snoop Dogg “Murder Was the Case”
One of the most heartfelt moments of the battle, DMX and Snoop both talked about how these songs were instances where they “wrote their pain.” For that alone, both won this round.
Winner: Tie
Round 16
DMX “N—-z Done Started Something” and Snoop Dogg feat. The Dramatics & Tha Dogg Pound “Doggy Dogg World”

Winner: Snoop
Round 17
DMX “4,3,2,1,” and Snoop Dogg feat. The Eastsidaz’s “I Luv It”
DMX was a part of one of the greatest lyrical collaborations in hip-hop history with LL Cool J’s “4,3,2,1.” Snoop’s “I Luv It” could not compete.
Winner: DMX
Round 18
DMX “Money, Power & Respect” and 50 Cent feat. Snoop Dogg “P.I.M.P. Remix”

Round 19
DMX “Ruff Ryders’ Anthem” and Dr. Dre feat. Snoop Dogg “Nuthin’ But a ‘G’ Thang”
Both songs where tremendous hits when they were released. Snoop pulled another classic from The Chronic, and DMX’s “Ruff Ryders’ Anthem” ushered in the Ruff Ryders era.
Winner: Tie
Round 20
DMX “Party Up (Up in Here)” vs. Snoop Dogg feat. Pharrell “Drop It Like It’s Hot”
