Live from Los Angeles, the \u201cVMAs\u201d will air on Sunday, Sept. 27 (7:30-9:30 PM, ET\/4:30-6:30 PM, PT).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Snoop Dogg is a 13-time \u201cVMAs\u201d nominee, having won three awards. His previous milestone moments on the \u201cVMAs\u201d stage include a first-of-its-kind performance with Eminem inspired by the world of the Otherside metaverse (2022), a tribute to the Notorious B.I.G. (2005), closing the show with Dr. Dre and Eminem (1999) and his main stage debut in 1994.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">\u201cMTV and the VMAs have been part of my story since the beginning,\u201d said Snoop Dogg. \u201cSome of the biggest moments of my career happened on that stage and on MTV \u2013 they gave hip hop a place to be loud, fearless and seen by the whole world. So to come back now and host the VMAs, all these years later, that\u2019s a full-circle moment for me. And doing it with my brother Van Toffler makes it even more special. Van was there during those early MTV days when we were changing the culture in real time, and we\u2019ve got a whole lot of history together. Now we get to make some new history. The VMAs have always been about those moments you don\u2019t forget \u2013 and trust me, we\u2019re gonna give y\u2019all a few more. See you at the VMAs.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-2\" style=\"margin: 8px auto; text-align: center; display: block; clear: both;\">\n<a title=\"Hip-Hop hats, buckets,
