Doggystyle

I love Snoop Dogg's voice, the beats are epic and this could be a very good album, but it isn't. The lyrics are tedious and predictable, the over use of 'n***a', 'bitches' & 'muthafucker'; the stupid interludes referencing drug abuse, flash cars and the obsession with 'bitches on ma dick' that every Rap album of this era seems to include that make this crap unlistenable and peurile.

I’m in two minds about this one. On one hand it’s a great rap album. Really catchy productions and it put me in a good mood. On the other hand the lyrics are cringeworthy misogynistic. It’s both a 5 and a 1 at the same time so I’ll put a 3 and be done with it.

With so much drama in the LBC, it’s kinda hard to give this album less than hundi P 💯

This was definitely a sequel to The Chronic, and while I liked that one more, this was still very strong. Snoop and Dre have definitely fucked before.

its stupid, lazy, its morally repugnant and ive listened to it more times than all of the grains of sand in all of the beaches from all of the oceans in the universe combined because its the shit

This has the makings of a 5 star hip hop album; great flow, fantastic production, very funky and great personality. However, similar to my feelings with The Chronic, the lyrics are just unapologetically disgusting, and can you really listen to rap without listening to the lyrics? They are, without a doubt, misogynistic and glorify the "gangsta" lifestyle. However, Dre and Snoop tried to spin it as a cautionary tale or whatever, which just laughable. There's no critique of that lifestyle or any sort of self consciousness whatsoever. I understand that gangsta rap was a necessary reaction to police brutality in LA, and that it was an important stepping stone for hip hop, etc. But that doesn't necessarily mean we have to endure it forever as a classic album.

FOR ALL MY ****** AND MY ******* AND MY ******* AND MY ******

He says a lot of bad words...

Smooth as silk. Catchy as fuck. This is the sizzle.

One of the all-time greatest ever rap albums

wow, the first album i've listened to where the skits didn't make me want put knitting needles through my ear drums.

Rhythms are good but the lyrics are awful

To an 80's kid growing up on The Fat Boys and Run DMC, this album was a revelation in so many ways. Super smooth beats, great flow, authenticity. This is one of my all time favorite albums for sure.

"Doogystyle" is the debut album by American rapper Snoop Doggy Dogg. The album was produced by Dr. Dre and was recorded and produced following Snoop's appearance on Dre's "The Chronic." It is one of the defining west coast hip hop albums being more melodious, synth driven and having funk-induced beats. It had mixed reviews upon its release but recognized for its lyrical realism and vocal flow and those lyrics deal with adolescent irges, casual sex, smoking pot and gunning down rival gang members. The album debut at #1 and was fastest selling hip hop album of all time. Splashing water and a girl in a bathtub open "Bathtub." People come in and the party starts. The heavy funk is prevalent in "G Funk Intro." It better be, sampling Funkadelic and Parliament. Featuring The Lady of Rage. We get the smooth Snoop vocal delivery in "Gin and Juice." Laid back. Chill. That weird eerie synth noise which pervades throughout the album. A party filled with sex, pot and alcohol. Hi! My name is Snoop Dogg. And speaking of who Snoop is..we get that in "Who Am I (What's My Name)." Female backing vocals. We continue to get the funk with more sampling of George Clinton, Parliament and Funkadelic. "Doggy Dogg World" is more soulful featuring Tha Dogg Pound and The Dramatics. A sampling highlight is the use of Isaac Hayes' "The Look of Love" in "Gz Up, Hoes Down." The album really introduces us to the laid back vibe of the Snoop persona. Very chill. Yes, it's gansta rap with the lyrics but the funk and Snoop make this more chill. A classic hip hop album and, yes, I was one of those people who helped it debut at #1.

Sick album and fantastic debut. I think his goofy, lighthearted take on gangsta rap really allowed for people who weren't a fan of the rap genre to get into it and enjoy it. There's humor and wit and lots of incredibly catchy rap schemes and hooks and Snoop not only was super unique and original but so widely respected by fans of all kinds of music. Even my grandma knows who Snoop is. Downsides are that this one doesn't have a ton of hits on it and there's moments where the lyrics make me cringe. That's something that affects me a lot with rap and unfortunately it's not even just the case where this is a dated concept. I've had times where I'm showing someone a more modern rapper known for intelligent lyricism but there's still these lingering cringey lyrics. Anyway- 4/5.

What a debut album this must have been when it came out! Hit song after hit song with one of the best Rap producers ever. Can't get any better than Snoop Dogg, a legend.

Doggystyle is like a walk through the most beautiful, vibrant and serene forest you ever walked through, except there’s all of this male genitalia you have to dodge to get through it. By the time you get to a Sukiyaki reference, that all falls away to gorgeousness. Lyrics are still hard to identify with, but it’s beautiful regardless.

The best G funk album ever made - perfect. Gz and Hustlas is in my top 5 favourite songs ever.

Really actually enjoyed this one. I have no idea what things make me like a rap album vs not liking one. 3.75/5

CLASSIC! It took me a few years to warm up to this (came out in grunge phase and I thought cocky rappers were total douche bags) but I eventually came to love this album.

Like this, old school hip hop. Doesn't sound like modern snoop songs

Classical Hip hop

Great album

ok

Idk, good, 3 stars

I kind of hated this album. It was vulgar, and gross, and rude which I can forgive and forget, but it was also boring, which I cannot oblige. I was so thankful when it ended.

Why must this record be like that... why must it... chase the cat?

"The Chronic" part II, and just as good. The production on these early Dr Dre records is incredible; "Lodi Dodi" is a masterpiece. It all sounds like so much *fun* - you can quibble with the lyrical content and attitude all you like, but you can't tell me you didn't enjoy "For All My Niggaz & Bitches" regardless. G-funk forever

Amazing debut album.

An absolute classic of the g-funk era. Snoop's debut sounded fresh and was full of creative lyrics and beats. It's held up well and is essential listening for rap fans and non-fans alike.

I'd somehow managed to dismiss Snoop as a features rapper and had never listened to a full album of his. Big big huge mistake. Hip hop at its finest.

There's so much drama in LBC. The album is 100% banger, that's what a rap album should be. It's nice to listen, it's nice to look at the cover.

What can I say about this album that has not already been said? It's a classic piece of hip-hop and it is in the annals of hip-hop history for a reason. Not the most perfect album, and there are certainly too many skits and interludes (certainly a mark of the time), but every song is absolutely fire. "Murder Was the Case" is probably Snoop's best track ever lyrically, and most of the other tracks on this album are not far behind.

Snoop's classical album is a must listen for every golden age rap fanboy. The beats are g-funk at its best and the lyrics - while extremely sexualized - always funny because of that. Don't take it too seriously but enjoy the relaxed wild ride.

An absolute classic that I haven’t listened to in a while. G Funk for days, Snoop at his best. 10/10

i never heard this album before yesterday but i see now why snoop is revered in the rap industry. a perfect blend of funk and hip hop. murder was the case is a standout

Love west coast, I was so happy when this album came to Spotify. Dre was on fire with production at this time. Snoop is someone I generally think of in terms of his features on the songs of other artists, but Doggystyle really shows that he absolutely can carry a project. Gin and Juice is obviously a classic, as is Who Am I, but Snoop is just generally funny through the whole album and his flow is fun to listen to.

It’s cool that the chronic came up a few weeks before this album. This serves as a pseudo sequel to that album that continues to build on its creativity but has much stronger rapping (sorry Dre). It’s so cool to listen to an album like this in a genre that’s so self referential because you can hear this album’s influence on so much of modern rap. This and the chronic truly set the stage for the next 20-30 years of rap music. I don’t think their singular influence can be understand, one of the true masterpieces of rap music for the 90s.

This is a fucking gem. Such a great piece of work. Loved almost every song. Just kind of really doesn’t respect women lol

Doggystyle And you even licked my balls I love the G-funk production on this, along with The Chronic, it's probably the apex of Dr Dre’s production style and sound. He’s almost like Nirvana. In they way they scythed down Hair Metal, there’s a clear delineation in Hip Hop before and after The Chronic, from a quite trebly drum machine sound to the slowed down, laid back, bass heavy sound of this. One of the podcasts I listen to did a breakdown of Nuthin’ But a G Thang from The Chronic and they talked about Dre developing his style so it would sound great in a drop top car while driving around LA, which is interesting - it definitely sounds like it’s made for warm weather, with a funky stickiness, rather than made for parties in basements in freezing cold New York Snoop is also, obviously, a very charismatic performer, with a great turn of phrase and a fantastic, laid back, laconic delivery. He really is one of the best. Gin and Juice and Who Am I (What’s My Name)? are rightly classics with great sounds and hooks, particularly Gin and Juice, with it’s languid beat and deep bottom end, but there are a lot of very good tracks on here: Tha Shiznit, Lodi Dodi (great lyrics), Murder Was the Case, Doggy Doggy World, and Gz and Hustlas (great sample/interpolation) Ain’t No Fun is pure Lonely Island. It is unintentionally funny (and not a little icky), so no wonder it gets parodied so easily and is hard to take seriously, even if it’s great musically. And the skits, while not as bad as some, aren’t great, although I quite like DJ Salty Nuts and W Balls. It’s an easy 4 - brilliant production, great rhymes and delivery and a landmark hip hop album 🐶🐶🐶🐶 Playlist submission: Gin’n’Juice.

This was an enjoyable gem, an album I somehow missed from back in the day. Although there's a shortage of big hits, there's a high level of quality here for the entire album. I'm tempted to give this 5 stars, but I'll leave it as a strong 4-star album.

This was fun enough to cut through a rotten cold. Lyrics are funny and horrible; the music is exquisite, rolling dunes of funk, squeak and cute, near-subliminal fragments of melody and noise.

Decent rap album with some good songs

is it just me or is this album a little homoerotic?

He’s Snoop Dogg so he’s got that recognizable smooth flow which is just so cool. What isn’t cool is the casual misogyny and exhaustive profanity, both of which make this album a difficult listen.

So as I’ve said before, I’m a big rock guy – and my exposure to rap and hip-hop has been extremely limited… I typically know the more popular tracks from a couple of artists, but that’s about it – so the 1,001 has forced me to listen to a number of rap and/or hip-hop albums so far, as I’m about 150 or so in right now… So far, I’ve had some NWA, Public Enemy, Queen Latifah, Outcast – and a few others – so I was looking forward to “Doggystyle” by Snoop Dogg… Just a few thoughts overall – - As compared to other rappers, Snoop is far more laid back (i.e. not angry, frustrated, etc.), and his style really worked for me… - “Gin & Juice” is by far the best track on the album – which was the good part, but was kinda bummed that there weren’t at least a few more that really moved me – though “Murder Was The Case” was pretty solid… - So as I said, I don’t listen much to rap – so adjusting to the language was a bit of a challenge… So between all of the “That Nigga”, “Those Nigga’s”, and “My Nigga’s” – I probably heard that word at least 700 times on this album… It is what it is, but as a “Cracka” it really gets a bit tedious after a while… - The final thought, is that I get that Snoop is rapping about what he knows – and everything definitely comes across as genuine – which is great… That said, the album glorifies a certain lifestyle, and the violence and degradation of women throughout, just didn’t sit well with me the longer it went on… - Tracks about rising up from nothing, making something of yourself after challenging beginnings is absolutely awesome, but bragging about all of the “bitches” and “hoes” you’re bangin’ and then tossing to the side of the road – well that’s just incredibly sad… Probably a 3, but for the overall negative messages that it promotes, knocks down to a 2… Love Snoop’s style though…

Yeah it's basically more of Dr Dre's album, straps chronic bitches, terrible skits and the same lines over and over again. Terrible.

Snoop doggy doo

Endless funk. Fun to learn more about the certified legend that is Snoop D O doubleG.

The obe the only snoop. I've been exposed to a handful of his peers on here and he is a standout

Laid back beats and vocal delivery with hardcore lyrics. Classic west coast debut from snoop.

This is such a good album. Yes, the lyrics are juvenile but they're also really funny. The beats and hooks are some of the best there're been. And to this day I refer to gin & OJ as "Snoop juice". Tha Shiznit.

Listened Before? Yes Thankfully Snoop dropped the NFT nonsense and this is available again on Spotify. Classic hip-hop album from one of the most influential artists to enter the West Coast scene. Album takes its time getting started -- first with a skit, then a song called G Funk Intro that pulls in a smattering of supporting members over a stanky G-Funk beat. 4 minutes later we get into the meat with Gin and Juice, a certified banger fit for sing-alongs. Tha Shiznit opens with a pseudo radio-show interlude (W-BALZ) and drops right back into a meaty G-Funk sway. Peak Snoop on display with his distinctively effortless and buttery flow. He gets memed a lot these days for his association with weed, but songs like these remind how ruthless he was. Lodi Dodi is another classic track that affects a twisted whimsical beat and internally references the magic mirror from Snow White. Lots of little skits on here, but they really don't detract from the play IMO. Murder Was The Case is straight West Coast Gangsta rap. Serial Killa brings in the first credited support to the album. This is a posse cut for the Tha Dogpound and a pretty straight shooter of a track. Who Am I (What's My Name) is yet another rap classic. Dre, on the boards and playing some vocal support with an infectious bass-lead bet and otherwise beautiful production. This one plays much more as an anthem than Gin and Juice, and pales in comparison. Pump Pump is one of my favorites on here. Can't help but nod along. Love the skit into beat drop followed by silk smooth flow. This album rips front to back. Great classic west coast rap goodness from Snoop at his prime. Hard not to enjoy this one. Great for any setting: sanding drywall, backyard summer BBQ, baby shower, bris... the possibilities are endless. If I could give this a 4.5 I would, but instead it will get the nudge. Added to Library? Yes Songs added to playlists: - Gin and Juice (Sunny-vibes, Driving, Skate Mix)

YES!!! A top all time favorite!

One of the greatest hip hop albums ever. Fantastic debut for Snoop and it's smooth AF from start to finish. Incredible vocals and g funk beats all throughout. "Gin & Juice" among others as well. 10/10.

Oh yes, massive smile on my face when this came up and easiest 5 i've ever given, was one of my entry drugs into hip hip and still love it to this day, just fun bouncy music with personality. Snoop himself has never matched this. Yes it has 90's skits and gangsta posturing but the talent on display here shines through so strongly, this is a classic from any time period.

Nunca había escuchado un disco de este género y la verdad quedé maravillado

Gin and Juice was much different than I remember it being. Lots of great songs on here surpisingly many of the ones I knew had less plays than others on the album that I didn't.

Listened

The switch-up from Joan Baez to this is hilarious. Listened to this album so much growing up it'll probably be hard not to be biased. Really shows what Snoop can do even though I don't think he's come out with any album that comes close to this in terms of greatness. Definitely an album you should listen to the lyrics. Man is a brilliant story teller. Gin and Juice is a classic and sounds so much better listening like this instead of out in the world. Tha Shiznit has some bomb flow from Snoop. Definitely one of my favorites from this album. G's up Hoe's down. Lodi Dodi is a great story with great production. Murder Was the Case is probably my favorite song on here. Shit goes hard and is another example of hit story telling. Gz and Hustlas has some incredible production and beat. Honestly from Gin and Juice --> Pump Pump is full of straight up bangers. Shame that the start doesn't live up but gotta give a 5 with how solidly this mfer flows from front to back. Production on this album also hits so well. Has that deep fuzzy sound that is kinda brown-noiseish. But it adds to that gangsta sound.

One of the best 90s rap albums. It holds up super well. Enjoy the realism of it mixed with the great production

Snoop doggy dogggg

Listen Date: 12/6/23; Overall Score was 87/100. Overall Thoughts: - absolutely fantastic basslines throughout this album - it's crazy to see how much of his music was about violence and sex - lots of fun instruments throughout - weird synths; acid bass; strings; piano; guitar; harpsichord; flute - very well produced album with a lot of unique elements that has staying power

Great

One of the all-time great hip hop albums. I have listened to this more times than I can count.

Great fun

Didn't realise this album was so old, I thought this was from closer to 2000 honestly. Really sounds like it too. I can't really get on with gangsta rap all that much, but there's usually some great beats behind the rapping. This was no exception, I think the backing beats slapped on this. And I feel like Snoop Dogg's rapping is smoother and less in-your-face that other artists in that era such as Ice Cube, so this was all-round a more listenable album, and without a doubt an influential album for hip-hop as a whole. Favourite: Who Am I (What's My Name?)

fuck it, deze gaat gewoon kkstupid dankzij dre

Iconic. One of the best of all time

Lots of hits

SNOOOOOOOOP!

Lyrics are really cheesy by the todays standards but Snoop Dogg is a brand and he is selling the well crafted and maintained story. If you think about this as a concept album with GTA Vice City radio vibes, this is genius. I assume that this had to be game changing at the time of the release for some people and basically become staple piece from then.

A g-Funk staple, but the abuse of skits does make it a lower 5 for me.

I hope Snoop understands I'm not a weed man at all. Shrooms are more my thing. Of course Snoop would totally understand. He also wouldn't give a fuck. Which is totally the point.

Classic hip hop album

Pretty stellar, still my favorite of all the west coast gangster albums.

Pur classique de rap g funk hyper classieu et gangster Hyper dansant et ça donne aussi envie de péter des tibias Un mix continu qui donne vraiment de poncer l'album souvent et à mettre en soirée 4,5/5 hyper solide

Bathtub- 5/5 G Funk Intro- 4.5/5 Gin and Juice- 5/5 Tha Shiznit- 4.7/5 Lodi Dodi- 5/5 Murder Was the Case- 4.9/5 Serial Killa- 5/5 Who Am I (What's My Name)?- 5/5 For All My Niggaz & Bitches- 4.4/5 Aint No Fun (If the Homies Can't Have None)- 4.7/5 Doggy Dogg World- 4.3/5 Gz and Hustlas- 4.6/5 Pump Pump- 4.5/5 Total- 4.7/5

I got bitches in the living room gettin' it on And, they ain't leavin til' six in the mornin' So, what you wanna do? Shit, I got a pocket full of rubbers and my homeboys do too So turn off the lights and close the doors But (but what?) we don't love them hoes So we gonna smoke a ounce to this G's up, hoes down, while you motherfuckers bounce to this 5/5

Ooooooof doggystyle, me fooking favourite. What a stupendous thud of a record. A total thunderclap of humour and beats. An urgent surging in my pants. Suck my nob, nana xxx

Fire from front to back! Classic Hip Hop album. I've heard it a hundred times and I'll listen 100 more.

Five stizzles 👍🏾

These are some unbelievable beats, skits and rhymes here

holy shit

Fucking classic joints of CLASSIC joints. LaDiDaDi. Come on

Baita fado

Classic great album

G Funk classic, with banger after banger after banger. Great production and flow. I know lyricism is a huge part of rap, but I've heard more cringey lyrics from many other artists. Snoop and Dre made something special. Best Songs: G Funk Intro, Gin and Juice, Who Am I, Doggy Dogg World Worst Songs: Serial Killa

Even the skits were relatively unobtrusive

Bad ass

A hip-hop classic!

So good

Solid. This holds up so well.

I listen to this and have a bunch of good songs with amazing beasts. One of the best from Snoop just joking it is his best

Love this album, I've had a copy for years.

Amazing from beginning to end

Trop bon cet album. Un peu explicit, mais c'est le style de l'époque. Du bon vieux OG gangsta rap. 5 G funk

On the scale of 1 to 5, this album is at least an 11. Joking aside, one of my favorite albums ever. Never gets old...
