Creativity Quote by Snoop Dogg

"Well, hip-hop is what makes the world go around"

About this Quote

Snoop’s line lands like a grin with teeth: half boast, half worldview. Coming from a rapper whose career has stretched from the G-funk ’90s to TikTok virality, “hip-hop” isn’t just a genre here; it’s a governing logic. The phrasing borrows the old saying “love makes the world go round,” then swaps in a culture that was once treated as disposable noise. That substitution is the entire move: it elevates hip-hop from soundtrack to infrastructure.

The intent reads as both celebration and correction. Snoop is insisting on hip-hop’s centrality in a world that still tries to cordon it off as niche, dangerous, or “youth.” He’s also protecting the culture from being reduced to product. When he says hip-hop makes the world go around, he’s not talking about charts alone; he’s talking about language, fashion, advertising, sports arenas, political messaging, meme formats. Hip-hop is the delivery system for modern cool, and Snoop knows he’s one of its most legible ambassadors.

The subtext carries a quiet flex: if hip-hop runs the world, then the people who invented it - largely Black and working-class communities - are the hidden authors of mainstream taste. It’s also a rebuttal to the “post-hip-hop” fantasy, the idea that the culture’s edge has been smoothed out by mass success. Snoop’s longevity is the proof-of-life: hip-hop doesn’t end; it mutates, colonizes, and keeps the global conversation moving to its rhythm.
