Heres some more:
May I Retail Version from Death Rows Greatest Hits
Song from "Men In The Black 2" OST
"May I" should be well known by now, the song was recorded for "Tha Doggfather" but was also cut in the end. Theres two versions of the song, with slightly different beats, but nothing too spectacular. Theres also the "Ruff Mix" from the recently leaked Doggfather 20th anniversary album where Malik is doubling Snoops vocals in the beginning of the third verse (he is also on the background vocals on the retail version of the song which was released on "Dead Man Walkin"). After the song was cut from the Doggfather release snoop reused his second verse on "We Wanna Party With You" on the "Men In Black OST" in 1997.
I think in general, if we would get some unreleased studio sessions songs from other rappers there would also be a lot of reused verses, because it makes sense to get out the lyrics you wrote.

Original Version from the Doggfather Sessions
Version from Silkk The Shockers Solo album
West Coast Bad Boyz Version
Heres another song, "Quite Obvious" was done during the Doggfather Sessions. Theres also another version they did during the sessions, "Pop Bloccin" with Kurupt & Techniec which just leaked on that "Doggfather 20th Anniversary" release, which was maybe done for the LBC Crew album after they cut "Quite Obvious" from Doggfather or they just wanted to do another version, I dont know. After both songs were cut and not released offcially Snoop reused the hook on "Pop Lockin" from Silkks album "My World My Way" which came out in 2001. Than theres also kind of a "remix" version on "West Coast Bad Boyz Vol. 3" which came out in the same year, featuring E-40, Daz, Wc, Snoop, Silkk & Master P. On this version Goldie Loc only has a short bridge where he uses the first few bars of his verse he did on the version on Silkks album, and Snoops verse is also shorter.

I like the "Pop Bloccin" version the best, Technic and Kurupt..
.btw does anyone know who is that rapping the last verse, dont think its credited
I dont know, thats something I also wondered.
Theres Big Pimpin doin some talkin in the middle of the song, but hes not the one thats rappin.
I thought maybe someone else from the LBC Crew but its definetely not Bad Azz. Also dont think its C-Style. Maybe one of the homies from Bad Azz from the Low-Life crew ?

Another well known song, "Ho Hopper" was recorded during the chronic sessions but after they cut it from the final tracklist snoop reused some of the lyrics he wrote for dre on Tha Dogg Pounds "Big Pimpin". That whole song is obviously snoops writing and it sounds dope af. What I always suspected on "Big Pimpin" is that maybe Snoop also wrote Daz' part, sounds like him and Snoop wrote some shyt for Daz during the Death Row days....

Heres another song:
Snoop & Threat version produced by DJ Pooh
Another version produced by LT Hutton
Version from "Dead Man Walkin" also produced by LT Hutton
Those songs were recorded pretty closely to each other I think, it was during the doggfather sessions.The last two songs got exactly the same lyrics, while on "Touchdown" theres just a small bit of the same lyrics.

I liked Snoops delivery on "Touchdown" more of that Doggystyle type flow...That LT beat tho from "The Lost Sessions"

Another example of a Verse being reused. On the song "Eastside" with Daz & Tray Deee Snoop raps the same part as on "Game Dont Wait".
The "Eastside" song was Done in 1995 I believe, at that time Snoop, Daz & Tray Deee called themselves "Death Row Eastsidaz". I think they wanted to Release something in the future, but in the end (and after another change of the setup on the song "Feels So Good" on the "Ride OST" which included Snoop, Techniec & Lil C Style) "Tha Eastsidaz" as We know it Ended up to be Snoop, Goldie Loc & Tray Deee. Theres also the song "Eastside Party" where there is a Snoop solo Version and a Group version and even the Titles of the songs seem to fit such a project...
On the recently released 20th anniversary Version of "Tha Doggfather" there is also the soopafly produced original Version of the Track called "Eastsiderz". On this original Version snoop also uses one of his verses from May I. I dont know which song was first tho..

I'll also count this song right here since I think its technically still a death row song, altho it came out during the beef between suge & snoop and the latter was almost off the label. (I'd appreciate it if someone here could shine some light on Snoops label situation during the time suge went to prison and the signing with No Limit records. During this time Snoop released a couple diss tracks like "Death Row Is bytches" and the "fukk Death Row" bootleg was out.
In the yt description the uploader says this track was recorded in 1997/98 in conjunction with Big C Style and on Snoops own Dogghouse records label which operated under Death Row. Snoop mentions the "bulletproof tank" which is NL records and since Snoop & P met before and been talkin bout signing this is kind of a statement that the NL deal was almost thru. Snoop also shouts out C Style, 19th street & the low-lifes so the time description seems accurat.
When he signed to No limit Snoop appeared on nearly all of the artists albums. On this song by Skull Duggery Snoop spits a verse from "Eastside Ridaz".
Here Snoop reuses another part of his "Eastside Ridaz" verse.
