Produced by the infamous Dr. Dre with assistance from Mr. Suge Knight, Doggy Style was the first solo outing by Calvin Broadus a.k.a. Snoop Doggy Dog. Incorporating a straight gangsta vibe into the deep funk grooves pioneered by George Clinton and his Parliament-Funkadelic ensemble, Snoop and Dre dogmatically invent the "G-Funk" aesthetic. Espousing an irreverent dope, bitches, and guns mentality, Doggy Style garnered the Parental Advisory for explicit lyrics it sorely deserved. Still, Snoop's lazy-yet-acrobatic rap/drawl is distinctive and undeniably entertaining. With additional vocals from Tha Dogg Pound (Nate Dogg, Warren G, Kurupt, and Dat Nigger Daz), this disc is deceptively professional and musically quite slick. "Murder Was The Case" is practically an inner-city classic, while "Ain't No Fun" is another blunted, urban-rap anthem. Woof! --Mitch Myers SNOOP DOGGY DOGG / DOGGYSTYLE Doggystyle is the debut studio album by American West Coast hip hop artist Snoop Doggy Dogg, released by Death Row Records and Interscope Records on November 23, 1993. The album was recorded soon following the release of Dr. Dre's landmark debut album The Chronic (1992), to which Snoop Dogg contributed significantly. The style he developed for Dre's album was continued on Doggystyle. Critics have praised Snoop Dogg for the lyrical "realism" he delivers on the album and for his distinctive vocal flow. Doggystyle has earned recognition from many music critics as one of the most significant albums of the 1990s, as well as one of the most important hip hop albums ever released. Much like The Chronic, the distinctive sounds of Doggystyle helped introduce the hip hop style of G-funk to a mainstream audience, bringing forward West Coast hip hop as a dominant force in the early 1990s. - DEATH ROW Review: An Oldie but Still a Goodie - This cd was ordered to replace the one I bought when it first came out, but mysteriously vanished. I LOVE the music. Review: This album is what got gangsta rap main stream - This is the album that really kicked gangsta rap into the main stream. Dr. Dre came along and had tons of success with The Chronic but honestly I think a lot of people thought it was a fluke. When Snoop Dogg released 'Doggstyle' it did 2 things. First, it proved that Dr. Dre is no fluke, period. Second, it showed that rap mixed with RnB can be not only radio friendly but great to listen to. My personal favorite is 'Murder was the Case' although Gin and Juice got much more air play. Unfortunately none of Snoop's albums since has been at this level but that's really not a knock against him, when you put out a great album it's all but impossible to duplicate it. The only reason I don't listen to this album more is the language and lyrical content (it isn't fit, in my opinion, for my 2 year old to hear) When I do get a chance to listen to it, however, it sounds just as fresh as when it was first released over 10 years ago - give it a listen and pick up a copy.

Old good stuff
What can you say, this was the big Snoop Dog album that everyone wanted. Did I mention that was in high school and the cool part is, the music is still good. I hadn't listened to it in several years and after downloading it. I forgot how good it really was. There is some good stuff here, the kind of music you will be humming throughout the day. Whether you are a fan of old school rap, hip hop, rock, r&b, or any other style, this is good stuff. It's just plain and simple "Classic"

Snoop's first and best album
It's kind of sad....his first album was his best. He could never top his teenaged self. Classic. All beats are fresh and all tracks are bangin'! This is one of the only older albums that REALLY holds up today and one of the only albums that I can still repeat over and over and not get bored with yet! It's crazy too because I've owned this thang for years and it never gets old. His flow, style, lyrics were all fresh and different. Later all would sadly fade in time (he still one of the only great rappers around anymore though and prolly my favorite) but this was somethin' else! Debatable as my fave album. It's just so damn FUNKAY! West uuuuuup!

Good... not great
Fairly new to rap/hip-hop and have been stunned by the musicality and smart lyrics of some artists... most notably Ice Cube and Eminem. Took this plunge based on multiple "Best" lists including it. To my ear Snoop just fell short of them on those counts. Silver-tongued and quick, but not substantial with only a handful of truly memorable tracks. So good... not great.

Los buenos inicios de Snoop Dogg 😍
Para mí el MEJOR disco de Snoop Dogg. El primer disco en solitario del rapero de Long Beach, una auténcia maravilla. Es uno de los álbumes que estás obligado a escuchar al menos 1 vez en tu vida, porque cada canción es una delicia auditiva. Sin duda, lo considero uno de los álbumes más representativos de los que era la West-Coast en los 90's. El envío sin duda ha sido espectacular por parte de Amazon y el CD llegó rápido y en perfecto estado.

Old School Hip-Hop at its best
Great album great artist. Snoop Dogg makes great albums and has good colab's, this album's one of the greats and this is the right place to buy from at such a cheap cost & quick delivery time. Many songs on this album are very catchy and don't get old, on many other artists albums I find myself skipping tracks, but this is not one of them.
