Doggystyle

It’s obvious how talented Snoop Dogg is unfortunately but this does not age well and maybe when I was younger I didn’t pay much attention to the lyrics. Lots of verses about abusing women and after a while it becomes quite awkward to listen to.

Nice album, a surprise for me.

First dogg for me, nice easy listen despite length and only knowing gin and juice, hilariously provocative lyrics at times. Doubt I’ll be back but it wasn't bad, just not for me Best worst album cover?

The only good thing snoop ever created. This album also really shows off how talented Dre is 4.5

Too much ****

Dated lyrics but some listenable elements

Misogynistic noise

Really enjoyed the laid-back vibe and the singles. And the lyrics are quite clever, if you overlook the usual misogyny that runs through many of the songs. I know it was '93 but I think most folks had moved on by then. 3*

Obviously, not for me but I still really dug it.

Overall: 8/10 First of all, Snoop is a loser for sucking up to Trump. So screw him as an individual. With that being said, this album is pretty great. Snoop had a great flow honestly, and his rhymes were pretty great too. Those traits become more obvious when anyone else is rapping on this thing. I kept thinking "where's Snoop?" So yeah, screw him but I'll still listen to his music. Fav Song: Gin & Juice

Really 2.5/5. Singles are timeless (lyrics can be a little cringey). Rest of the album is fluff and skits

This album has the sickest beats you've ever heard, but then every other line is something like "My name is Mr Genitals Balls Man, but you can call me Balls"

One of the most important west coast hip hop albums of the 90s. However, I think there are a lot of moments on this album that take away from the album. I don't think the album is perfect, and I'm not against it being on the list due to the strength of the singles, I'm not going to defend it like a lot of other classics that have made it's way on here. There are some great songs, where Dr. Dre really flexed his production muscles, but I was always of the camp that snoop dogg was really good at establishing a vibe, but not really rapping bar for bar. I think he is a bit elementary at times on here, and a lot of the features do the heavy lifting on the singles. The album starts really strong, but we get into tracks 4-9 and we're just meandering through some story telling type bars on relatively safe dre beats...with some bad hooks in there as well. It's an interesting listen. There are high highs and really low lows. Maybe it lies somewhere around a 3.6, but I think based on how I've been rating albums, this one will be around a 3/5. I gotta start being more cutthroat with the 4s and 5s. A quick side note, on ain't no fun...you can really hear where Snoop feels like he has to be more present on this song. The guest verses come in swinging so he provides a great performance to be on par. I point it out because it doesn't feel the same on other songs. GZ UP tho

dava um 4 se nao fosse misógino

Great party album. Also a great album to listen to while driving around LA. Modern Snoop is... annoying. But the album is undeniable.

Полный шлае, время смытое в унитаз, хочу помыть уши

This is #day809 of my #1001albumsyoumusthearbeforeyoudie challenge, and... the golden age of hip-hop is on the radar once again. I'd never listened to this record before, though, of course, I knew about it. My childhood years were full of Eminem, Dr. Dre, and co., and Snoop Dogg was one of those guys who were always around, whether on the radio or TV. (I even have a CD of his, R&G: Rhythm & Gangsta, at my parents' place.) So, you know... This album is a classic of '90s hip-hop, and it still stands tall nearly 33 years after its release. It's Snoop's signature laid-back flow, the G-funk production, and those radio skits that make for an entertaining listen. Dog doggy dog is here to stay. This is a 4 out of 5. Looking forward to #day810.

4.5

Joo..⭐️⭐️

Current song I;m going to abuse from here: Who Am I? and Murder Was The Case

Easy 5 stars. One of the best rap albums of all time. What's My Name solidified Snoop as a talent after Aint Nothing But a G Thang but Gin and Juice is what made everyone know he was here to stay. Great album, the rapping is smooth, the rhymes are fun (though misogynistic, unfortunately part of the gangster rap genre at the time) and the beats are memorable. 5/5

4.5/5

He’s a charismatic performer and Dre’s production gives it a groove and a sheen. It’s the quintessential 90’s west coast sound and it’s funkier than you expect but good lord it’s a bit juvenile and the misogyny is a bit unrelenting

For reals?

Very much of its time, and not for me

overrated

the lyrics...

The definition of g funk

Снуб дог чистый шлак

It’s aight

Love me some Snoop Dogg!

This one brings back driving around with my buddy from high school in his pink truck. Just two white kids singing "Murder Was The Case" just like Snoop intended. 7.5/10 Top song... Murder Was The Case

So much heavy and funky beats, it's an absolute classic of the 90s that I discovered very late. I named my cat Snoop because I found very funny to name a cat Snoop because of this guy. And because Snoop is a very cool name. Probably 4.5 rounding up because I loved so much my cat. Favorite Songs: G Funk Intro ; Gin and Juice ; Tha Shiznit ; Lodi Dodi ; Who Am I (What's My Name) ; For all My Niggaz & Bitches ; Ain't No Fun (If the Homies Can't Have None) ; Gz and Hustlas

I don't even like Snoop but I can't deny this is a great album

There are some good grooves here - I enjoyed Tha Shiznit and Gin and Juice - but I found Who Am I as irritating as the skits, and I have to mark this album down a star because of its misogyny

Many listens. I dig the production but not the misogyny.

Фанк пробивается. Бас качает. Запись хорошая.

not sure if it's essential. but very recognizable, and a part of everyday culture.

Classic. But not my taste

He really can't help himself from mentioning his own name or Dr. Dre every few bars, and the extent of misogyny, and how little they claim to care about women, and how much they love their boys, ironically just comes off as a little gay, but the instrumentals are catchy and the overall production quality and listening experience was good enough to give it a light 3 I think

Starts to sound kind of the same, after a while, and lose my attention. Not a bad sound -- the beats have a good flow (at first), and the vaguely Middle Eastern (?) and/or funk keyboard riffs are kind of catchy (at first) -- but, after a while, wears a bit thin, grows a bit stale. And the lyrics -- why? Who wants to hear that (other than some subset of teenage boys, *maybe* - which I guess is maybe the primary intended audience?). Anyway, I'd rate this a low 3 for the music, but think I'll lower it to a high 2 overall, for the annoying, in-your-face lyrics. I know I'm not the intended audience, but I am the one listening to it.

not feeling it. really lost me at "Ain't No Fun" it's on par with the other Gangsta Rap albums. At least it's entertaining: lots of different vocalists, samples and skits. But the lyrical content is pretty redundant

16 Oct 2026 · 6/10 Yeah it was alright. Not very varied, but enjoyable.

Mixed feelings like this. Snoop's flow and Dre's g-funk production are key to socal rap. And rightfully iconic. But the lyrics kinda stink. A distinct lack of wordplay and creativity.

Waaaaaay too many skits but otherwise a crass, cartoony, funky fun time. Despite the often problematic subject matter, I can't find the album cover anything but sweet and childlike. This was just a talented kid who happened to hook up with Dr. Dre. At summer camp, my friends and I memorized 'Ain't No Fun' before I even heard the actual song.

My sister used to listen to this a lot when I was a kid so this is pretty nostalgic. It still slaps.

Never heard this album before although I was sort of aware of the artist.

God, I feel stupid for never really giving this album the attention it deserves. Always knew it was great, loved the big hits off of it, but now after sitting down and giving it a proper listen I appreciate it so much more. Absolute classic.

Just iconic. Dre and Snoop invented G-Funk and still no one has done it better. The amount of P-Funk samples and inspirations if what made this.

Meh

Buenas bases, pero en general, el álbum no me gustó tanto y no lo volvería a escuchar

It’s groovy but we can’t be saying some of these things in 2026

It's hard to ignore the themes in the lyrics, which is a problem in listening to a lot of these classic 90s and early 00s hip-hop albums - but the beats and the flow are irresistible, and you can tell why it's a classic.

Pretty clear why Snoop is still part of the pop culture dialogue even though he hasn't released anything great in awhile. A little long perhaps, but overall enjoyed the listen.

I like snoop when he’s on a feature, but an entire album of snoop is a bit much. I didn’t mind the album, but definitely not my favorite. It’s pretty crazy to me how much hip hop has evolved over the years

I could predict what every single song was about before I played it. Definitely some good and catchy beats at least

Classic Snoop sound, and honestly he never got back to this level again imo. There are better 90s rap albums and artists though, leaving this at 4 stars.

This one surprised me. Really got stuck in

An absolute vibe. Clearly defined a generation (or two!) of rap. Almost dropped a star for sheer mysogony but keeping my four!

Snoop Dogg is a bitch.

While Snoop eventually became a corporate shill, at least we still got this essential piece of west coast hip-hop. 4.5 bumped up to 5.

I’m at a 5, if not higher. “The Chronic”, for as good as it is, has a point where it just kinda falls down after “The $20 Sack Pyramid”. Snoop’s solo debut here doesn’t have that at all; this thing just keeps going & going & going, and it is a barrage of great rap tracks. Snoop’s voice is made for this shit; even if you have no interest in hearing the lyrics out, the man’s flow is silky smooth with the precision of a machine gun on this album. He sounds fantastic. I understand the misogynistic gangsta rap lifestyle isn’t palatable to everyone, but I honestly don’t think he takes it that far on this album; at the very least, it’s not as blatantly hypersexist as Ice Cube was on “AmeriKKKa's Most Wanted”. Kurupt takes it a bit far at times, and I do think he could’ve toned it down, but when he comes in on some of these tracks, it’s like a needed battering ram to balance out Snoop’s laid back energy on this album. There’s hit after hit after hit after hit after hit here, including “Gin and Juice”, “Tha Shiznit”, “Lodi Dodi”, “Murder Was The Case”, “Who Am I (What’s My Name)?”, “Doggy Dogg World”, “Ain’t No Fun (If the Homies Can’t Have None)” & “Gz & Hustlas”. I know that “Ain’t No Fun” is by far the most objectifying track on the album. It blatantly calls the ladies bitches & hoes that are practically being passed around from man to man like a blunt while the guys practically beg for oral. It is so absurdly misogynistic that I understand people hating on that track. I personally think it’s one of the funniest on the album. I’m sorry; I can’t take it that seriously. Nate Dogg sings every line in that first verse with such soul that I can’t help but laugh. Snoop’s first lines are “Guess who's back in the motherfuckin' house / With a fat dick for your motherfuckin' mouth?” – like, come on. That’s objectively funny as fuck. Warren G fucking comes in near the end like he’s doing a guest star spot on a sitcom, and the whole thing is so over the top that I can’t possibly imagine anyone being that taken aback by it. It’s catchy as hell, I’m sorry. “Gin and Juice” might be the best West Coast party anthem ever. “Tha Shiznit” has one of the most underrated Dre beats ever with Snoop’s charisma flying off the charts; if it’s a full freestyle, that’s genuinely incredible. “Lodi Dodi” is a great flip of a Slick Rick track & a great homage. “Murder Was The Case” has some of Snoop’s best storytelling work. “Who Am I (What’s My Name)?” is a killer single to start a solo career with. “Doggy Dogg World” has a trio of super dynamic verses that are all centered really nicely by the chorus. “Gz & Hustlas”, if it really is a full freestyle like “Tha Shiznit” apparently is, might be one of the best freestyles ever put to tape. Every verse on that track kills & the beat is one of Dre’s best. The other tracks all range from good to great; “Bathtub” is a solid skit to start. “G Funk Intro” has Rage absolutely killing it on her verse. “Serial Killa” gets a little violent in the chorus & RBX’s verse, but it’s still good. “For All My N****z & Bitches” is a little inconsistent from verse to verse, but it’s still a fun listen. “Gz Up, Hoes Down” suffers from a pretty bad mix that takes a lot of the attention from Snoop’s flow, but I still think it works. “Pump Pump” is a way better closer than I remembered, especially with Mr. Malik sounding like New Edition-era Bobby Brown going full gangsta on his verse. I don’t know that I would’ve ended on that track, given the 8 tracks I mentioned earlier all being that damn good, but it’s certainly not a bad choice. Overall, the entire album is 55 minutes of G-Funk that just flies by. Everyone is on their A-game here, whether it’s a hungry Snoop with something to prove, a seasoned Dr. Dre taking his production to an even higher level than on “The Chronic”, and a multitude of guest artists who all feel like they fit in perfectly. It is even better than The Chronic, it’s probably a top 5 rap album of the 1990s, and one of the best solo debut records ever in hip-hop. It’s an easy 5, if not higher. There is a chance it can get to a 10 someday. It more than earns its spot on the list.

Det bliver ret ensformet, og jeg synes ikke lige at det sjofle er så sjovt nu hvor jeg skriver kommentaren

Tja, det er ok - men jeg kommer nok aldrig til at høre det igen.

Troede faktisk, jeg ville synes, det var bedre. Det er helt fint, nogle gange rigtig fint, og så ikke så meget mere. Fedt nok med noget med definerende G-funk, men altså for mig er det endnu et eksempel på, at hip hop i dag er bedre, end det var dengang, sue me 3.7

Det er jo nok delvist p.g.a. nostalgi, men det her er et rap mesterværk for mig. Det er svært at overvurdere, hvor stort det var, da 'Doggystyle' udkom - og hvor meget jeg har hørt det. Det sagt, så kan jeg - med lidt objektive briller på - godt se at det ikke er det hele, der holder lige godt i dag. Til gengæld trækker alene 'G Funk Intro', 'Gin and Juice' og 'Who Am I' nemt albummet op på 4 stjerner. Den sidste får den af ren affektionsværdi

Человек на подпевках и его главный сольный альбом. Зрелище не то чтоб печальное, но откровенно говоря никакое. Понятно почему потом вся его карьера строилась только на дуэтах и подпевках то там то тут

I really don't want to listen to this really ever.

This shit is gorgeously produced. Musically, it's banging. Remove the rap and it's still good, thanks to the funk roots. A lot of those songs (especially "Gin and Juice") reminded me of the GTA San Andreas main theme. Snoop also has a great, often melodic voice and a perfect flow. And he's funny. That helps a lot to accept the more questionable elements of the lyrics. But more than that, Snoop is crazy good as a storyteller. "Lodi Dodi" is a bit boring if you're not paying attention, but it's fucking hilarious. And "Murder was the case" could be a whole-ass movie. "Ain't no fun" is genuinely one of the grossest song I've ever heard tho. Good beat, stunningly vile lyrics. But hey, it's the only song that's actually bad, that's a feat for a hip-hop album. All-around a very enjoyable listen.

Classic Dogg

So many skits

Nostalgic but bit uneven

Some classic songs and production. A lot of corny lines and derogatory towards women.

Snoop has a beautifully gentle voice, and the samples and licks are great... but I just cannot bear hearing the word BIAAATCHH one more time.

I like Snoop’s flow and the g-funk style. However, I don’t really care for it lyrically. Not my least favorite rap album I’ve listened to. 3/5

The second half of this album is great. I'm not a fan of listening to people sing about their balls, but I do enjoy the G funk.

WBalls We come in packs and do it from the back

Enjoyed it because I haven’t listened to much Snoop before. He’s a fun person, but I’m not a huge fan of this album.

I was never a fan of the west coast variety of hip-hop, but I did revisit some of it in the last decade and have grown to appreciate it more. However, it is still not as high ranking to me as east coast and southern hip-hop. I think Doggystyle has some great music and rhymes, but it didn't do anything to change my mind about the east coast and some of the south having what I'd argue more interesting experimentation in sound and presentation.

Compelling flow and a certain elegance. But too many skits and lyrically snoreful.

Its a classic. Dre's Gfunk stuff is basically an extension of The Chronic, loads of iconic tracks, super influential, quality. The skits are shit tho.

Doggy story is a perhaps a surprising all timer and yet it’s incredibly dishonest to call it anything but perfect. Gangsta rap will never be this catchy ever again

This album seems somewhat dated, the 90s music, the OTT drug references and misogyny (although let's be real that's still a thing now) and the frequent n bombs. I didn't mind it though. The music made up for the basic lyrics and there are definitely some catchy songs.

Early 90s west coast hip hop is so iconic. Gin and juice is my karaoke song for life

As most of the other reviews already say, this is a pretty solid album with great flow and beats, but the lyrics are very shallow and aged poorly (if they were ever even good in the first place). Not bad, but definitely not among the top-tier of hip-hop from this era in my opinion.

I mean, I suppose this was groundbreaking, but my problem with hip-hop is that there is almost no melody.

Snoop's voice is smooth, and the production quality of the album with all the samples and such is top notch. If only the lyric content weren't so awful.

No, I don't like this at all.

GFunk great. Real highlight of this era. The misogyny is a little hard to get past at times tho. Made me laugh out loud a lot

Do these fellas realise how fucking ridiculous they sound. It’s all very juvenile

The flow and the rapping is awesome, the beats are good, but if rap is supposedly a "what Im saying" art form we are not there here. I get it, you may have nostalgia for it, but not me. If he were saying anything else other than my big balls were licked, I would have rated it much higher, but here we are

Un debut muy bien ejecutado por el tío Snoop Suena diferente a la actualidad, en cuanto su voz, mas sin embargo, la calidad y producción de este álbum no debe nada Hace mucho apoyo de features y usa samples bien interesantes Ninguna en particular se me quedó grabada, pero todo junto hacen un álbum cohesivo y bien entretenido Hay mucho material que probablemente se considere underrated por el hecho de que hay demasiados clásicos a nombre de Snoop Reescuchable en definitiva y recomendable

Haven't listened to this since it came out, and it still doesn't resonate with me one way or another. 3/5.

All time classic. Gin and Juice is probably the first rap song I ever heard when I was a kid

Varied, I liked it. Involves lots of people as well, and I loved the vibe

bro its snoop dogg what can i say

Cool G-funk beats, Snoops voice and rhyme flow is top notch. It is a classic west coast 90's hip hop album. I have to take points off for all the cussing and misogyny. I almost couldn't finish this album because my young daughter was around and I was embarrassed to listen while she could hear. And one more thing kills this album for me and it is a common theme in the rap genre, why all the stupid skits? It really kills the replay value of an album for me.

First full snoop album for me. I think. I recognized "gin and juice." The rest was meh. 2*

oh…first snoop dog record Okkk tbh I didn’t mind that, it’s really not my style of music but I did enjoy all the different voices he had and the little stories as well as the repeating theme of gin and juice (good drink). I also liked the instrumentals and he had a nice voice. Just again the lyrical content, like the bragging and I can have any bitch I want and everyone wants to be me and I’m the baddest and richest and whatever. I can definitely see why people like it though. Not something I would return to but I’m glad I listened, 3.411/5

Something about this guy just makes my skin crawl. Not a fan of the music or the 'lyrics' either. Everything I don't like about hip hop. Sounds like some sordid pool party orgy soundtrack.
