Riders on the Storm was originally released by The Doors in 1971, and producer Fredwreck later reworked it with Snoop Dogg for the soundtrack of Need for Speed Underground 2, released in 2004. The game became a defining early 2000s racing title, and its licensed soundtrack helped the remix reach a generation of players who associated it with underground car culture. Shared through gameplay videos, edits, and soundboards, it remains a shorthand for that era's street-racing mood.

The Fredwreck remix of Snoop Dogg and The Doors' Riders on the Storm, featured in Need for Speed Underground 2 and used in nostalgic racing edits.
This short clip captures the laid-back, bass-heavy Fredwreck remix of Riders on the Storm, blending Snoop Dogg's smooth, drawling rap with the Doors' haunting original melody and a steady West Coast beat. The opening feels instantly familiar to players of Need for Speed Underground 2, where it soundtracked late-night street racing, and its mellow groove still carries a cool, cruising atmosphere. Played today, it triggers nostalgia for early 2000s racing games while giving edits a relaxed, confident swagger that never feels rushed or aggressive.
