Em wrote that song for snoop and Dre. But when snoop heard him rap it, he immediately refused and said it sounded better than he could ever do it. That’s humility right there, cuz snoop was at his peak back then.

[@LetsGoMan]

He most likely thought that the song wasn't in his style or image. The verse was all Eminem's personality. Snoop whole brand is weed. Though it would still sound dope if he spit it.
