Tyrese -- Bottoms Up for Birthday Surprise

Tyrese has some amazing friends ... because his pal Snoop Dogg surprised the "Fast and the Furious" star on his birthday ... with a face full of strippers!

It all went down in Burbank this week during a video shoot for Tyrese's song, "Dumb S**t."

Snoop -- who is featured on the track -- hatched a plan to bring in some exotic dancers and surprise Tyrese for his 36th birthday with a cake (the kind you eat ... with frosting).
