Doggystyle

Smooth grooves, but unnecessarily crude. Snoop was a teenager when this was made, and it shows. Otherwise, great talent 3

interesting

Snoop is a professional, he has an immense amount of swagger and a fair amount of talent. This album is a solid display of rap finding itself in the evolution of the genre. Snoop pushed flow and rhythm forward, but this is not an miraculous execution of his rap abilities. He is a complimentary force to a better rapper, and an extremely charismatic person, that doesn’t necessarily make the best rap album.

Some big singles on here. I didn't know Dre added the skits to get the album finished. The immaturity and misogyny stands out, but in a way, it's understandable given their youth and reality at the time. It's definitely a classic with massive influence. The funky beats still hold up. 3.8

Something of a one Trick Pony in terms of style… But he did it well …. The flow still plays well but the lyrics not so much today.

La mejor canción es, sin duda, What's My Name? la que le dio a conocer y uno de sus clásicos. Es un buen disco de rap de los 90 (Black Sunday de Cypress Hill o Midnight Marauders de A tribe called quest son mejores, en mi opinión), pero 1993 fue el año de Reachin' (A New Refutation of Time and Space) de los Digable Planets. Además fue también el año de In Utero, Thirteen, Frosting on the beater, Siamese dream, Come on Feel the Lemonheads, Last splash, Gentlemen, Where You Been, los debuts de Björk, PJ Harvey, Liz Phair, The Cranberries, Counting Crows, Radiohead o Frank Black en solitario. Además de los últimos discos realmente buenos de algunos insignes grupos como fueron Zooropa, Songs of faith and devotion, Republic, Get a grip, dejando al margen bat out of hell... Incluso Are you gonna go my way, Cure for pain o Dream harder, New wave, Wild wood o One time, two times, three red light...

Has some classic early 90’s songs on here. “Who am I” is one of the great rap songs of that era. Love the G-funk. 3.5/5 Probably will listen again

Not my favorite album of his, but still solid.

Why I find Snoop's own presence on his most celebrated album so inconsequential and easily overshadowed? Not to mention half the songs are more akin to sketches and snippets than fully fleshed out works.

snoop clownin' many playful beats in here. 3.5

Snoop's instant followup to his breakout on Dr Dre's Chronic was a forgone conclusion when he broke out. At the time I didn't think he'd get much out of hit and would always be Dre's side man. He does something here with Doggystyle the other sidemen like Flavor Flav could never do, own his brand and rap about it. What Snoop does here that differentiates him from other rappers is blend his style with others. Adding the funk brings out another angle for his sound. 3.5/5

i liked this but it’s not something i’d listen to repeatedly

Not my tastes, a few excellent riffs. I don't love it but can see why people do.

There is no way I could listen to most of these songs in any sort of casual or social setting other than a college party. Vulgar and almost every song starts with a cold cut skit that I wish I could trim in the apple music app. With that being said, Snoop does have a pretty sick flow and the music in the backgrounds of the raps are pretty consistently good-to-great. I can deal with the obscenity of the album, it doesn't really offend me, but it does lose a star just for all the song intros.

This is to rap music what Fast & Furious is to action movies. Completely over the top, but undoubtedly pretty fun. Lyrics are best taken tongue in cheek, but the beats and bass lines are solid.

3.5

Day 21- June 22, 2024 Not a hip hop person, but not awful. 3/5

I didn't have a chance to listen to this all the way through, but it's an iconic album with some rock-solid singles.

Nú er ég ekki mikið fyrir rapp en samt finnst mér gaman að sumu. Til dæmis voru Fun Lovin' Criminals rappskotið fjör sem ég fílaði mikið. Snoop Dogg er svo 90s rapp sem ég hef gaman af að hlusta á. Það er ekki svo slæmt þannig séð þótt ég muni eflaust aldrei láta mér detta það í hug að setja það á. Þetta fengi 2.5 stjörnur en ég hífi Snoop upp í 3 fyrir að vera stórskemmtilegur karakter.

This was a fun, funky record. Sounds really modern to my old ears. Lyrically a bit tiresome though. Favourite tracks: G Funk Intro, Gin and Juice, The Shiznit, Who Am I (What's My Name)?

Hmm... It is cool, but also annoying... Annoyingly cool, like trying too hard to be cool, I have a hard time taking it seriously, then again, the record is also not taking itself seriously... Middle of the road for me...

Good, good flow, good beats. The skits and interludes weren’t great.

Pretty good. Nice beats.

Some gems on there. I liked the back half most.

3.5★ Thoroughly fun. The production is the MVP, and Snoop's flow is inexhaustible. The features are weak/nothing to write home about, and the content/lyrics are unfortunately fairly fluffy/vapid so I doubt it can sustain many relistens before growing stale, even though I like most of the songs here. Still, very enjoyable.

idk what to say to this one it was like enjoyable to listen to but very samey & some of the lyricsmade me double take

Pretty good album, but a product of it's time

Never listened to a Snoop Dogg album. Clear to see why he’s been a huge inspiration. Gangster rap is not a genre I’m fond of, but I appreciated the smaller things like the interludes and skits. He first song I had heard from this was Ain’t No Fun from a Filthy Frank edit on YouTube that I ended up using to made a similar edit video of my friend in high school. Standouts: Gin and Juice, Serial Killa, Who Am I (What’s My Name)?, and Ain’t No Fun (If The Homies Can’t Have None).

Rollo. Le pondré un 3 por las últimas canciones y las primeras. Pero por el medio aburría..

Funny, sexist, g-funk

Good lord this was quite something for first thing on a Monday morning! Licking balls and so much pussy. I have no idea what to make of it tbh. Like it's a fun listen but it's not my music really is it.

Music good, lyrics bad

67/100

“Doggystyle“ is a very spotty album. It was heavily influential to the hip-hop scene, but for as many positive ways it changed the genre, it brought that many negative ones. The production throughout this can seem a little repetitive, but it’s a very hypnotic sound defined the G-funk era of hip-hop to a T. However, this is one of the most misogynistic hip-hop albums I’ve ever heard. Obviously that is not exclusive to this single album in rap history, nor am I saying all rap is like that, but here it seems like it open the doors for other rappers to be just like Snoop Dogg in, again, as many positive ways as negative. All in all, this album is pretty enjoyable and stands at an important position in hip-hop history, but the fundamental issues of this record cannot be ignored. Also, this is way better than “The Chronic”, just sayin.

Snoop is all style and little substance. I remember seeing him live and he spent 20 minutes of his 50 minute set doing a call and response with the crowd "What's my name?" "Snoop Dog!". His flow is incredible, but he takes 'leave them wanting more' to an extreme. For the positives, the beats are all great. This very much is a sequel to The Chronic and that's not a bad thing at all. Lady of Rage is a stand out and I loved every feature with her. Snoop's swagger and flow are both hypnotizing. You could easily listen to him read nutrition facts and it would sound dope. But in all the album feels inauthentic to me. Snoop raps about all of his women and drugs, but it feels like bad acting the whole way. The skits are corny as hell but not goofy enough to feel like they're in on the joke.

5 / 10 Rap clásico. No va conmigo.

This was the first complete Snoop Dogg album that I heard. I have heard some snoop's songs before, but my opinion about dogg's music wasnt very positive. This album change my mind in some way. The album quite surprised me, snoop's flow during the whole album is top, the collabs are great. The album a funky style that i liked. The thing i didnt like was the lyrics, i dont wanna be like boomers sayin' "rap only talk about sex, drugs and that shit" but this album talks about sex, drugs and that shit. It really doesnt bother me that much, but after some songs iy becomes repetitive, which is maybe my great issue with gangsta rap,i found it repetitive. Besides that is a great album and sonically i liked it. 3.5/5

Musically this is so much fun, but yeah, some of those lyrics are rough. I absolutely love Snoop's smooth, nimble flow and the whole G Funk retro vibe sits really well with me. So it's hard to get too mad at this, but I can only appreciate it so much. Fave Songs: Gin and Juice, Who Am I? (What's My Name?), Tha Shiznit, Murder Was the Case (DeathAfterVisualizingEternity), Lodi Dodi

I like snoop but this album is ridiculously crass and does not even have his best work. There are teases of potential throughout but in general it’s forgettable adolescent crap.

I laughed out loud several times. I'm not sure if that was the intention. Although the themes are the same of his contemporaries - money, guns, women, drugs - Snoop sounds like he's having a whale of a time rather than being just angry at everything and everyone. So I enjoyed it quite a lot more than I probably should have.

It’s rap. Not really my style.

2.5 - I thought I'd be bored with this, but the beats were pretty good, so that made it a more enjoyable listen. Lyrical content isn't my favourite, but whatever. It's hip hop from the 90's, I expect it to be sexist. But yeah, liked it a little more than expected, but it's nothing I'd come back to.

Gin and Juice Murder Was the Case (DeathAfterVisualizingEternity) Who Am I? (What's My Name?) Doggy Dogg World

Fantastic funk album!

Not really for me! Good cruising music tho lol. Has some misogynistic and often stupid lyrics I don't like, but still catchy. Pump Pump is prob my fave song on this.

Best Song: G Funk Intro Worst Song: Ain't No Fun

Great beats; less than great lyrics. Overall kind of fun, but not one I’m likely to revisit.

Snoop's charisma and flow combined with his Dre's bumping beats help him and his homies get away with a lot of questionable lyrics. And, as always, the skits add very little to the album. Highlights: "Gin & Juice", "Tha Shiznit" (a masterclass on freestyling and how to ride a beat), "Serial Killa" (sounds more like one of the posse cuts from The Chronic with a harder edge and multiple guests), "Who Am I (What's My Name)?" (It's obvious that this would be the first single. I'm surprised it wasn't the first track on the album), "Ain't No Fun (If the Homies Can't Have None)" (so fun musically, but oh-so-crude lyrically) Notable: "G Funk Intro" (why did the Lady of Rage never really make it?), "Murder Was the Case" (the remix is better)

Lik Ed it more than I thought I would.

Too much bad language for my liking, but a fan of Snoop Dog none the less.

I really like that west coast screechy synth sound he always uses that kind of sounds like a dentist’s drill.

It's alright, but I liked "The Chronic" much more, and this feels like a weaker version of that. Snoop's a cool dude and I like his voice, but it just didn't click that well on a first listen.

Not bad, but I still don't get rap or understand the lyrics very much. But it wasn't annoying to listen too.

Well, it's Snoop Dogg, so... Lots of F-bombs and sexual innuendos. But it's also fun and interesting and tolerable. Gin and Juice, Murder Was the Case they are classic.

Snoop is probably one of my favourite rappers but this album has a lot of gross content. Great beats, love the vibe but the lyrics brought it down for me.

Pretty good but not great

So this is the beginning of the legend that is Snoop Dogg. True to form, he created his own language in this album. It's so experimental and every track is unique. Surprisingly, there is only one song on the album that stood out for me.

Such a classic.

Snoop has a great delivery and the beats are fun and cool, but the lyrics are predictable at best and ignorant at worst.

Similarly to the last Gangster Rap album, liked the music, hate the lyrics. Too misogynistic

Never heard a Snoop album before. Definitely had heard a few songs because, let’s face it, who hasn’t at least heard “Gin and Juice”? There’s a lot to like here. I do think it’s front loaded with the better tracks, but a debut album is often uneven. That’s not to say anything here is bad, just that the quality starts to dip as it goes on. I wasn’t crazy about the misogynistic lyrics of “Ain’t No Fun (If the Homies Can’t Have None),” though. Some things age well, some don’t I guess. That aside, I enjoyed this album, but not as much as I enjoyed Biggie’s debut “Ready to Die.” That still holds the top spot for rap albums I’ve heard so far in this project. You can tell he and Snoop were contemporaries just based on the backing tracks, the subject matters, and the sampling styles and features. The features were great though. Overall this was good. But I have a gold standard for rap albums now and if I’m comparing Snoop’s debut to Biggie’s (with Biggie’s being 5 stars), Snoop comes in at 3. Curious to see if this was his peak or if he continued to grow. It’s tough when your biggest hit is on your first album… Standout tracks: G Funk Intro, Gin and Juice, The Shiznit, Serial Killa, Who Am I (What’s My Name?), Pump Pump

Old skool Snoop

Classic snoop

So back up bitch because I’m struggling. Just get on your knees and start juggling, the motherfucking nuts in your mouth… This whole album is dumb, it was dumb fun sure but still soooo fucking dumb. Snoop wouldn’t know what to rap about if it weren’t for his name. Holy fuck was this stupid. 3 stars

Didn’t hate it

Some great songs on here but it would be cut in half if he couldn't use the fuck word

Decent album overall, a few great songs (Gin & Juice, Who Am I) stand out. Thank goodness we've moved away from skits on hip hop albums though

I'm finding that a lot of these early to mid 90s rap albums are not aging particularly well, it's hard to not view these through a modern prism and find them utterly reprehensible. I mean, I loved this 30 years ago but now it either horrifies me for its graphical content or repulses me for its childish immaturity, how can I really be objective?

I was really not looking forward to this, but (notwithstanding the mysogyny and homophobia, which is rife throughout) I found it very listenable. The music is fun, funky, interesting and cool. Ignoring the lyrics I really enjoyed it. Regarding the lyrics, I guess you can say it was of its time. I've no idea if Snoop's personal attitudes have moved on with society's. I hope they have.

Definitely never listened to this as an album! As you probably know, I'm not a huge fan of skits in the album unless they really add something. So far, all I learned is why Gin and Juice started with the sound of a dude peeing. I think I'd prefer just the music. Sick beats so far though! This is a really interesting blend/transition between the old school 80's hip-hop that was more stripped down and the late 90's/early 2000's hip-hop to come. Overall, it was pretty good! There was a good amount of fluff in it and the lyrics don't really appeal to me but the beats were great and the flow was nice. One last minor nitpick would be that the beats were all quite similar feeling and kinda blended into each other.

it’s fine, I like snoop more as a public figure than I like most of his output though

This was a massive record. The band is amazing. Lyrics are a little cringey now.

I said it before and it costs nothing to reiterate. Gangster rap and G Funk aged like milk. Total lightning in a bottle that worked for close to 20 years but has since curdled. But, revisiting Doggystyle leads to nothing but a bouts of enormous laughter. This album is full of childish metaphors and very simplistic analog beats, hilarious skits and it all just feels like shock and awe with very little substance. That being said, this culturally relevant and iconic chapter of rap birthed the development of rap that we have seen pretty active since the mid 2000's. Doggystyle was on the early end during the golden era of peace before East and West rap warfare began. Snoop Dogg demonstrated his rap capabilities and got his beginnings with Dr. Dre here too. The backstory and future is almost better than the album. But, respect it regardless.

Great music, superb flow, infantile lyrics

Tosi kovia taustoja. Tällaista kamaa kuunnellessa tulee kuitenkin fiilis, että en ole kohdeyleisöä

Too long and too many skits (like every fucking hip hop album). Some decent tracks but mostly the usual hoes/money/crime zzzzzzzz

This was a listen down memory lane. Overall it’s the music and beats that drew me in and really do show Dre’s production talent. But the unnecessary overuse of certain “words” in every song makes this a pretty tired album that wouldn’t pass by today’s standards. It’s clear that Snoop had lyrical talent with creative rhythmic delivery and word choice, and it would’ve been nice to see that more here.

A fun trip down memory lane. I started to think about how old I was when I heard this, which made me laugh. Picturing a middle schooler acting like he identifies with any of this… hilarious. Some super memorable tracks and on and I’m assuming the album most would count as his best. But man there is a lot of cringe on here. Enjoyed it but couldn’t get above 3

Dre’s beats are elite and there are some genuine bangers on here, but the sexism and dicknballs humour are hard to escape.

Classic Dr. Dre production from the G funk era - simple but catchy bass-lines, synth hooks (often high octave), creative use of other instrumentals (flute etc.) It’s definitely a patterned approach that repeats across many songs and albums. Snoop’s flow is smooth and distinctive, although at times I think the lyrics were driven by the flow, repetitive, and juvenile. Often times it seems that a cliche is thrown in just to fit the flow. That said, there are verses here that sustained across other songs for years after. This feels like an artist with incredible potential who is just raw lyrically.

Great beats. Too much ball licking

Really enjoyable, especially when looping back to give a deep listen having heard this around 1993. Some of the song constructions are too ever-present (e.g., the backing high synth that became a hallmark of this style). Also had to remind myself a few times that SD was 20-21 when writing this material, which puts some of the theming into perspective.

"No love for hoes." DJ EZ Dick

Chilled beats, very nice flow, enjoyable music to listen to for everyone, doesn't matter what's the background...until you listen to the lyrics. A bit chauvinistic, and certainly doesn't fit into today's culture. It was very rough at times to hear Snoop's lines in this. Stron 4 for the music, straight-up one for the lyrics, and just because of the old times it's going to equal with 3.

Bad ass.

Filth, but filth made by skill compared to modern rap

I liked it! Great beats. Honestly I may have a soft spot for hip hop😭

Was okay. 90s hiphop.

Seems like there’s no direction on any of the songs.

3,5

3,4

p dang catchy, tho i have the same issue with this as i do with a lot of grindcore albums which is overly long bits of chatting before tracks, i dont have the attention span for talking just get on with song pls faves: g funk (intro) gin & juice who am i (whats my name)? gz and hustlas

3.

Fun album. Best basslines made the best songs.

Rollo. Le pondré un 3 por las últimas canciones y las primeras. Pero por el medio aburría..

I know it’s one of the quintessential hip hop albums of all time, the track music saves what is otherwise not a great listen to me in my 40’s. Gin and Juice and What’s my Name are still bangers, but I can’t see myself coming back to this album. 3/5.

If you can get past the outdated lyrics, this is a good album.

Don't really like the skits and intro. The big singles and classics are definitely better than the rest. So interesting that he was about 21/22 rapping this album, can't imagine him being that age or a kid these days doing an album like this. Hearing Nate Dogg is a real reminder of how good a voice he had, so many great choruses. RIP.

A great reminder how great Dr. Dre is. Also a great reminder how much I love P-Funk. Kinda wish this site gave me one of their albums instead.

This was a favorite back in the day but I have outgrown it

Funky, fun rhythms and beats. Not really my genre but I had enjoyed it enough. Thought the lyrics were a little cheesy at times that made me laugh.

The Chronic, Part 2.

The synth sounds like gta stripper music and i could not get over it

It's weird how snoop has gone from misogynistic gangsta to wholesome dad, but this album was the high point of 90's small dick gangsta rap. Having said that, the beats are heavy, the flow is smooth and there are some absolute bangers here.

קשה לשמיעה אבל מסיבה אחרת לא עומד במבחן הזמן

Started off strong and I have some serious core memories of the song “Who Am I?” but still just decent.

Doggystyle has a place in music history for helping define the G Funk era, and that's really where this album shines. The sound and feel is incredible in that regard, it's instantly recognisable now but I can only imagine was transcendent when it came out, unlike much that had come before it except for The Chronic. Lyrically it's what you expect of hip-hop and rap lyrics, but the flow and dexterity is pretty high and it makes for a good if slightly samey listen. Who Am I? and Gin and Juice are the most known tracks for a reason; they're a class apart on the record, the rest of it is good enough to earn a 3 but nothing more. Said most of the time we've had this genre I prefer East Coast over West Coast sound and still stand by that, has more of a bite and a rawness to it, though I think Dre probably provides the majority of the exception to that rule.

Very iconic and groundbreaking for the genre, but personally not very invigorating. Loads of Parliament all over this record. Ain't No Fun is a bop.

This is hip-hop so i'm obviously out of my depth. But i like his overall style of rapping and the production is graet. Still, lyrics play a very important part for me and these lyricses.... are not for me... Highlights for me were : Lodi dodi, murdur was the case, for all my...,

A bit too much G-funk for me

Pretty good, will have to listen to it again

Didn't realize how many of these songs I knew from this album. Was solid. Almost forgot that Snoop was a rapper.

31 years old???

I enjoyed it! Some of the lyrics were a lot and it would be nice if he didn’t keep calling women “hoes” or “bitches”, but I didn’t mind most of the songs.

Un plaisir à entendre, les débuts du son West Coast. (La misogynie toujours présente bien sûr)

Surprised by how dated this sounds. & not only in the sense that, this could compete with 'Licensed to Ill' for how juvenile a lot of it sounds (it's like there was a challenge for how many skits & songs could be centered around dicks & balls) - but also in the Parliament-heavy sampling. Not bad, just certainly not timeless. & probably appreciated it more when I was 15 instead of middle-aged.

Doggystyle by Snoop Dogg pleasantly surprised me and wasn't as icky as expected. While it may not break new ground in rap, there are noteworthy elements. Snoop Dogg's delivery on the album is commendable, showcasing his charisma and lyrical skill. Additionally, Dr. Dre's backing provides a solid foundation, with tight production throughout the tracks. I believe that Snoop Dogg's personal life at the time added a mystique to the album, enhancing its allure. Furthermore, the strong mentor-protege relationship between Snoop Dogg and Dr. Dre is evident, adding depth to the album's narrative. While it may not revolutionize the genre, Doggystyle offers some enjoyable moments and showcases the talent of both Snoop Dogg and Dr. Dre. NUMBER OF BANGERS - 3 STAND OUT TRACK - Serial Killa

Great beats Lyrics veer between ridiculous and brilliant

Good!!

Gewoon niet echt mijn muziek

Niet mijn favoriet maar wel lekkere pokoes

I liked it more than I thought I would. It's cohesive and gets you in the mindset it sets out to.

Snoop definitely has a unique west coast style and vibe. His delivery is cool and has decent clever lyrics. Though a major contributor to the style, there's nothing that I love here. It was very interesting to listen to, but nothing i'll come back to.

fun! shows how talented Snoop is/was since the get-go.

Snoop Doggy Dogg! It's funny because I watched Straight Outta Compton just a week or so ago so this is fresh. It even made me go listen to the Chronic a little bit for buildup since the Apple Music bio suggested. Snoop out here living his best life just having fun, some of the best sound the same and there were songs that I didn't enjoy, but there were a few good ones on here and I'm more than happy to see this on the list.

It’s a stoner song cycle for the ages. It’s why Hip-Hop blew up. So infectious it moved out of the LBC into every suburb in America. The production is slick. The flow is unmatched. The ear worms are contagious. The skits are silly. The misogyny is indefensible. No wonder Snoop Dogg became a household name. “Gin and Juice” deserved the millions of bumps it got from car stereos that year and every year since. It’s a bonafide gangsta party classic. Listening to the menacing “Murder Was the Case” is still chilling, especially considering Snoop’s actual life circumstances at the time. Funny enough, when you listen closely to a track like “Lodi Dodi,” Snoop actually comes off more like a diva than a hard core street tough. No insult intended. It’s a role he embraces—lover not fighter, rap battler not rep enforcer. Martha Stewart was his destiny it seems. But most of the time Snoop is happy to play the ultimate crown jester of G funk on his debut—mostly bark though his flow always bites.

It’s a shame that what is a landmark album for hip hop is full of problematic material. The beats are nice, the features nice and Snoop’s Flow is impeccable. If it was all Murder was the Case instead of Gs up hos down…

Terrible cover art but it was listenable.

Snoop is unquestionably a generational star, but he isn't one of the greatest wordsmiths. Dre's producing does a lot to carry this album, which is decent, if a little misogynistic for modern times. Favorite track was Gz and hustlers

Fun to half listen to, sounds great, gets you moving; Snoop is a lot of fun. Listen too carefully though and yeesh.

Some songs were good, some were not. But not a bad album.

A well defined sound and schtick. Some people love this fo shiz-rizzle. I think it has minor appeal, but gets old very quickly.

So puerile and gross and stupid at times, but Snoop has an undeniable flair for clever cheeky rhymes, and catchy melody and harmony. And man, this took me back to 1993.

I like snoop dogg 3.8

"Doggystyle" by Snoop Dogg, released in 1993, is an iconic debut that solidified Snoop's status in the rap world. With Dr. Dre's production shaping its sonic landscape, the album became synonymous with West Coast hip-hop. Featuring hits like "Gin and Juice" and "Who Am I (What's My Name)?," the album exudes a laid-back vibe with Snoop's distinctive flow. While undeniably influential, "Doggystyle" doesn't escape some criticisms for its explicit content and occasional lack of lyrical depth. Scoring a balanced 3/5, the album remains a classic in the genre, capturing a moment in hip-hop history. However, some might find its lyrical themes and production style somewhat dated compared to contemporary standards.

Yikes. The lyrics are crude as hell and embarrassing at times. I wonder what Snoop says about his young self, given his old self is a bit more reformed. But it's not much different than Eminem - can you put aside the abrasiveness of the lyrics to evaluate how clever they're put together or how well they're delivered? Snoop has always been smooth and his pace is unmatched here. The beats from Dre are very good and that funky style is perfect for Snoop's vocal style. But his lyrics are underwhelming. I don't find them clever as much as I find them arrogant, as if he's the baddest (or only) gangsta rapper that ever lived and he's trying to convince everyone of it. Yeah yeah, he passes women around like they're joints, and he passes joints too. Oh and he puts a cap in anyone who tries to step. It all gets tired. And I couldn't care for any of his interludes - unnecessarily crude drivel. I love the sound some of the time but I found myself bored on second listen. There are better rap albums.

Snoop is a legend, and I love him as a larger than life personality. Motherfucker is so cool. But I'm not a hip hop fan, this was never my music of choice. Gin and Juice is a classic, but I can't stand all the ridiculous skits and spoken interludes. The women speaking seductively, and groaning over the top is so cringe. This album cover is awful, so juvenile. 3 stars for Snoop being cool and all, but that's as generous as I can be.

Obviously a groundbreaking hip-hop album but just not for me. I like the Parliament Funkadelic samples...Some good beats and iconic songs but overly crass for no need at times. 6.0/10 (3/5)

I liked it fine enough but there it deserves credit for how it made me, a degreed homeowner and parent who was 8 when it was released, feel like I am getting away with something I shouldn’t over three decades later.

Underhållande album. Bra låtar. Bra hooks. Bra beats.

The misogyny posturing is off-putting - but this is a good rap album, no? I am automatically well-disposed to anyone who leads off with a Curtis Mayfield sample, and there's a whole bunch of Parliament peppered about the rest of the album. Snoop isn't the greatest rapper but he's a good ringleader. Dr Dre has done a sterling production job. 'Who Am I?' and 'Gz and Hustlas' are top drawer.

There are albums you know because you listened to them, and then there are albums you know because you listened to them in your friend’s car. This is one of those. I can’t hate the thing. But what’s more fun is this: go look up Snoop and Kevin Hart doing commentary on horse dressage during the last Olympics. That made me laugh. This album just kinda makes me grin.

This album cover radiates early 90's and I love it. I am enjoying the transitions/interludes on this one. Beats and flow are on point. Not entirely my taste, but I enjoyed this for the most part. The earlier part of the album had more sticking power than the back half. This is a 3.5 that could go either way, but because I don't feel like I'll come back to this one, I'm gonna round down.

Definitely interesting. Rap is definitely not my style but its funky.

It's not bad, but one thing I don't understand is why these rap albums are all so long.

Impressive for a debut album - some filler and not much stood out to me beyond the hits

Considering concealed carry laws and legalisation of pot the stuff Snoop sings about don't seem quite so gangsta anymore, just every day life. Was a kinda cool album, still completely inappropriate in places but I respect that he doubles down and doesn't apologise for that

Was OK, some good songs I knew but a lot of filler

There's a 5 star album hiding in amongst all this However, the skits drag this album down so much, its quite annoying, i think some of the tracks, vocals etc on this album are outstanding. But, any time you let your guard down, you get bored by one of these unfunny skits, no punchlines, just boring garbage. It's a real shame Ain't No Fun, Gin n' Juice, Who Am I, all top songs, 5 star songs. It's a real shame from a 5, to a very high 3. Shame

Not an album I’d listen to cover to cover. Appreciated what ground it did break.

A little bit misogynistic …

Enjoyed listening to most songs, lyrics so recognisable throughout other music and genres.

It thumps, sure. The lyrics can be a bit much.

Wholesome fun

I am not one to tell folks what albums they should enjoy, and while I can recognize Doggystyle as influential to the G-funk genre, and Snoop Doggy Dogg's career in particular, it was not something I would want to listen to more than once, unless there happened to be an instrumental version. Love Dre's production, and the performance of the musicians on the track, but the lyrical subject matter is not interesting to me at all. And I get it. I was not and am not the audience intended for this album.

Largely inoffensive to the ears

HATED this the first couple times I heard it. (1/5) Now, I'm thinking I might have been harsh... This is pretty good. :) (This is me eating crow).... I Still HATE those little snippets between songs... They are ignorant and horrible. Gz and Hustlas reminds me a bit of someting you'd hear from Slick Rick (from Adventure's of Slick Rick). :) Standouts: Gin and Juice, G Funk Intro, Who Am I (What's My Name), Tha Shiznit, Gz and Hustlas. 3.5

Another artist I’ve only ever listened to the hits, though I knew this one was very influential as his first. Production is great, flow is solid. That said, there’s nothing here for me.

I have to say that I find the gangsta braggadoccio and some of the misogyni in the lyrics stupid and bordering towards irritating. With that said Snoops laidback flow is a style of rap i do like, and the production is excellent. Most tunes are catchy like good popmusic, and listening to the record in Dolby Atmos on Tidal with a good headset is a sonic treat.

Walked around Edgewood while listening. Not as good as I'd hoped and bummed by the language and misogyny. But could have been worse.

I feel the snoop tracks are a lot stronger than the rest of the tracks

Style is unique but themes are repetitive (smoking weed and sex with women) it's not all that great as an overall album.

It's decent music. The intended audience is definitely not me, so I can't appreciate the lyrics. The tracks are pretty hit-or-miss, particularly with regard to the backing instrumentals. Tracks like Gin and Juice, Ain't No Fun, and Gz and Hustlas are seriously catchy because of their intoxicating riffs, varied rhythm, and non-monotonicity. Some tracks, like the opening Bathtub, are acceptable as skits but clearly not relistenable. Most of the remaining songs are fine but pretty uninteresting and repetitive, especially compared to the incredible rock, folk, and post-prog music being released around the same time. Snoop Dogg is, as his lyrics demonstrate, pretty narcissistic. It alienates me even further from the already uninspiring lyrics. 5/10

Yup.

good rap sound, definitely remember a few of the songs. I liked it other than crass language.

This was fine. It was definitely nostalgic, but I can't handle 53 minutes of Snoop on a regular basis.

Always an enjoyable album

I like the musicality and sound but hate the lyrics.

Standard issue So Cal party/lowrider album. A classic. The only standouts for me were the singles: Gin & Juice, etc. The skits were extremely annoying.

This is not the best hip-hop opinion, but I consider Snoop Dogg highly overrated. He is very famous for many reasons, but lately music is not even in the top 3. This album has great songs and put him up in the position of King of G-Funk. With the later appearance of Kendrick Lamar, he can not enjoy that title anymore. "Doggystyle" aged like milk for several reasons. First thing comes to mind is how cringe the intros of the songs became. They are not even included as interludes, like other rappers already did in this era. They should remaster the album and change that, because I could not bear the embarrassment of being handed the aux and have Snoop yapping about bullshit only a weed-numbed brain like his could produce. Nate Dogg, Warren G, Dr. Dre productions... This album is star-studded and it shows it is important. Sadly, it is getting stale as a whole despite a couple stand-out tracks.

Wasn't unimpressed.

Enjoyed more than I thought I would

Un album plutôt sympa, dommage que fumer des joints ne soit plus cool passé le lycée, Snoop Dogg aurait été sacrément populaire.

C'était pas trop désagréable, et j'en suis le premier surpris.

Some obvious classics, Who Am I?(What's My Name), Gin and Juice, Tha Shiznit etc A lot of the dumber/sexist stuff obviously the work of a 21 year old and I'm not sure this record would fly in 2023 and I don't think that's particularly woke because it's a very sexist record. It was funnier 30 years ago when I was a 13 year old boy, not so much now. Obviously great production from Dee Barnes' violent attacker. Still, a decent album with some painfully unfunny and completely unnecessary skits.

Much better than I was expecting! I wasn’t happy to see rap at first. But the time flew listing and it was funkier than I was expecting. Would def listen again!

catchy and stupid 3.4

Fun to see the break out of Snoop! Love the beats.

pretty good but nothing unexpected

Definitely a landmark G-funk record. The production is uniformly excellent, and Snoop's verses entertain and hold my attention. His flow is always great, but The Lady of Rage features are my favorite part. Some of the misogyny on this record is a little startling (although it is a 90s rap album) and I could really do without some of the skits.

Dated

I hadn’t heard this album before but hire enjoyed it. I get a bit fed up with the gangsta language and nonsense between tracks but on the whole thought this was quite a fun album. I enjoy doggystyle ;-)

This had a couple of ok tracks and the rapping has some good flow, but the misogynistic gangsta lyrics ended up being a bit irritating and lame with the full listen through. It's a classic and an album of its time, but not one I'd listen to again (apart from the classics Gin and Juice and Whats my name) Fave Track: Gin and Juice

Fun album, but one I used to enjoy more when I was younger. Gin & Juice is a classic, but Doggy Dogg World is my favorite.

You are now listening to WBALLS. I wouldn’t be able to record this album without laughing my ass off. Just can’t take the background stuff seriously. “Gin and Juice” is such a hit. I really didn’t want to like this album for the stunt Snoop pulled by saying he was going to quit smoking for his health. However, the beats in so many of these songs are dope. The beats do start getting a little old after while. “For all my N*ggaz & Bitches” was straight trash. Snoop isn’t one of my favorite rappers. He does have some good songs and sometimes he makes me laugh. The shallowness of this music hurts my soul though. You wouldn’t catch me listening to this music anymore. Especially in public. 5/10

Snoop’s flow is addictive. The beats are great, especially when compared to the other rap artists we have gotten on this platform. They are simple and repetitive but they do such a fantastic job elevating Snoop’s verses. In terms of lyrics, can’t relate to anything and a lot of it comes across jokey. I guess I am just not a fat G dawg bow bow mother fucka biatch. This isn’t a huge issue as the beats and Snoop’s flow carry this album for the majority of its runtime. I enjoyed it but I did get fatigued during the second half. 6/10

Catchy but superficial

Some gangster shit with some funky basslines

One of the classic west coast gangsta rap albums, Snoop Dogg’s debut album Doggystyle showcases his smooth flow and distinctive voice over the funky beats produced by Dr. Dre. The album is not quite up to the same standard as Dre’s The Chronic, but it is still a landmark in hip-hop history. The album features some of the most memorable tracks of the genre, such as Gin and Juice, Who Am I (What’s My Name)?, and Murder Was the Case. However, the album also suffers from some of the common flaws of 90s rap albums, such as outdated and misogynistic lyrics, and cringey and unnecessary skits. Some of the songs are hard to listen to in the present day, as they glorify violence, drugs, and sexism. Overall, I believe this album is worth a listen and should be appreciated for its historical and musical significance and its beats that still sound fresh 30 years on, but it should also be critically challenged for some of its problematic messages. I give it 3 stars out of 5

Fun to listen

It’s fine. The hits are great, and Dre’s production is delightful, as always. Doesn’t deserve to be so popular, though deserve has nothing to do with it.

Gear: Aür Audio Aurora Artwork: 🐩🍑🤢 Production: 🎛️💉✅ Music: ⏳💰📺 Wertung: 🦴🦴🦴/5

Not a fan of the genre by any stretch, but for some reason I have a soft spot for Snoop Dogg. BTW, if you have a chance, check out the Gourds cover of Gin and Juice. It's alternative country/bluegrass but it's so good. 3 stars.

It’s snoop dogg

It's pretty mid nothing special

Really good by Snoop standards, but I'm eh about him so that standard is mid

not gonna revisit this

I liked the flow between songs, but the album was about twice the length it needed to be. Also, misogyny is not cool.

surprisingly good. Snoop doggs flow is legendary and the beats were actually banger. A G-funk classic.

Freakin classic but doesn’t hold up.

Perinteistä west coast G-funkki soundia. Ihan jees kuunneltava, mutta ei varmaan paras niistä

Not really my vibe but you can hear that the artists are having fun and it's a smooth listening experience

Snoop is Snoop and not much has to be said about that. This album is solid but definitely feels dated. You can tell there was a real passion for this album with a lot of variety in voices and beats but sometimes that made it feel more like a student project than a real album.

I might be wrong, but it makes sense to me that this album helped define the West Coast sound. Feels very much like a GTA tracklist. I'm not big into rap, though, but this was good enough.

Essential Tracks: Gin and Juice (Playlist)

There are some amazing, classic rap songs on this albums Gz and Hustlas, Gin and Juice, Who Am I (What’s My Name). This album hits him different as an adult and I didn’t like the language towards women. It shows how far we’ve come since 1993.

Not his best work. A few catchy tunes.

Skriiiiiker 90-tallet, på en bra måte! Flyter bra, og Snoop har utvilsomt en ganske digg stemme. Litt vel mye misogyni, kanskje. Generelt litt småkleine tekster her og der.

Nice to hear the songs that influenced other songs.

Some well known tracks, but not for me anymore.

Hot and miss

I mostly know Snoop Dogg from Gorrilaz and I guess his biggest hits. To me the misogyny mostly feels tongue firmly in cheek but that doesn't make it ok. Fave track: Gin and Juice for the laid back vibe.

This must have been quite a revelation to hear at the time! Quite a big step up from old school hip-hop, and the sound has aged much better than a lot of albums from around this time. I find Snoop's misogyny much less grating than Dre's or Ice Cube's, for some reason. Not sure whether there's less of it, or it's just smoothed over somewhat by the g funk sound. Still not great, tho. 😒 I reckon this album was on track to get a 4 and then "Ain't No Fun (If the Homies Can't Have None)" came on and turned me back around. Fave track - "Murder Was The Case (DeathAfterVisualizingEternity)" was pretty novel - that and "Serial Killa" seem to have prefigured horrorcore, although a quick skim of wikipedia tells me that actually horrorcore has roots way earlier than this - neat!

Has one or two good songs, but overall its a very freshman album.

Good

Stop with the sex scenes

Tough one to rate. It's a limited world and way of life that narrows the mind. 25 years later communities are paying the price. Maybe it's not as creative if you live that life and sing about it as it seems from the outside. Super creative and I'm looking at Snoop doing a corona ad. He may not be living that life anymore but too many are. And the doggy mothers are losing their children like someone else owns them.

Would have rated the album a 4 if it were not for the skits.

Surprisingly good. I like how to songs flow together.

Good

Bathtub - 7/10 G Funk Intro - 8.5/10 Gin n Juice - 8.5/10 Tha Shiznit - 8.5/10 Lodi Dodi - 7.5/10 Murder was the Case - 8/10 Serial Killa - 8/10 Who am I - 7.5/10 For all my Niggaz & Bitchez - 7.5/10 Ain’t no Fun - 8/10 Doggy Dogg World - 7.5/10 Gz and Hustlas - 8/10 Pump Pump - 8/10 TOTAL - 102.5/130

Not for me, but a fine album for some I am sure.

hate the lyrics, love the flow.

Good beats and flow. Seems kinda old by today's standards. 3.4

Classic hits that I grew up in my late teenage years but not into the whole rap scene. Hit with a little nostalgia but skipped most of the tracks.

A few good tunes

Good '90s rap album, but sounds very similar to others. A bit repetitive. 6.5/10.

Snoop lol

Sorry, couldn’t get into it. Production value is awesome.

Are we as society ready to discuss the fact that Snoop Dogg is wildly overrated. Everything that’s great about this album is Dre. All snoop does its rap about bitches, weed and booze. It’s mediocre and best and we’d all have never heard of him if it wasn’t for Dre’s beats. 6.1/10

🅾️✅✴️✅🅾️🅾️✅✴️🅾️🅾️✅✅ Musicality: 3/5 Lyrics: 4/5 Track Diversity: 2/5 Production Quality: 4/5 Replay Value: 2/5 Enjoyment: 3/5 Average: 3/5 Best song on the album: gin n juice

Nice beats and some good rapping by snoop but he gets repetitive in my opinion. (66%)

Despite some of the crass humor, Doggy Style is a rare rap album that has aged fairly well. The misogyny isn't as front and center (and it more feels like posturing than anything else) and there aren't a lot of disparaging comments towards others. What surprised me is Snoop Dogg's trademark crooning voice is almost absent from this album - it's very early on in his career and it's clear he's still establishing his sound. I can see the influence, but I almost feel like the greatest influence here was on Snoop's career itself.

Hip-hop. Ni fu ni fa.

5/10

I found much of this album enjoyable. Snoop is clearly very skilled. This dragged on for me and got tiresome by the end, though.

Not as good as I hoped it would be. I'm gonna need a doggy bag for this shit (alright, it's not that bad)

Too fun to be this sexist 🥴

Nicer flow, Lyrics lame Chillige instrumentals 2,5/5

Hip-hop. Ni fu ni fa.

Rollo. Le pondré un 3 por las últimas canciones y las primeras. Pero por el medio aburría..

Not a fan of all that chatting and ‘non-music’ between tracks but otherwise some good stuff here. ‘The Shiznit’ and ‘Gs and Hustlas’ were the highlights.

My first Snoop album ever.....seemed like one continuous tube to me with some radio advertising thrown in. Take out the cussing and it's an instrumental album

classic

Ok thought I was gonna hate this but his delivery is so smooth and the (Dre) production is so slick. On the minus side tbe short in-between skits ate tiresome and the lyrics (though they seem a pastiche of themselves?) are wearing.

Snoops music is always fun, This walked the border of comedy music at some pointed and im not sure how to feel about that. I am actually a fan of some of snoops music but on this project I could really only find a handful of stand out moments. Not awful but not something that I think completely stood the test of time.

This album made me realise how incredible Arin Hanson's impression of Snoop was in that one Starbomb album.

Disclaimer: I listened to this album while rain was pouring heavily outside, so I couldn't understand a good chunk of the lyrics. That may have been a blessing in disguise, because the lyrics that I did hear were a lot of n-words, bitches, motherfuckers, and other forms of cringey, outdated stuff. Musically, though? This was great. Nineties hip-hop but with really catchy and rhythmic beats that leaned closer to R&B. If it was this with better lyrics it would've been a 5 or a high-4, but alas, it's a '90s hip-hop record. So ya know. Standout tracks are Gin & Juice, Lodi Dodi, Who Am I (What's My Name?), and Ain't No Fun.

Reasonably fun musically. Much less fun lyrically --- there's only so much talk of balls that I can comfortably tolerate.

The nasty cover suited the nasty songs. Gotta say I’m not in love with that aspect of this music. The lyrics were often terrible and the album cover a real turn-off. Still, I can say that I liked the sound of the music and Snoop Dogg’s rapping. Maybe I’m just relating to the more mature Snoop Dogg who hangs with Martha Stewart, but even with some pretty problematic lyrics it’s more tolerable and seems less mean-spirited than a lot of other 90s rap.

As far as rap music (not my preferred genre) goes, this was actually very listenable. Much smoother, mellower, funkier and massively less annoying than most rap I've heard. I'd even go as far as calling it quite enjoyable. Still rounding it down from 3.5 because the lyrics were just so damn stupid (when the content was even understandable, which was mostly not the case)

This was an unusual listen. For an album that was held up as an example of society going wrong in the 90s, it's somewhat innocent in places. It's easy to forget that this was a 19yo Snoop. With all the developments in rap over the next 30 years, it's almost sweet to hear him rap about how 'his momma ain't home', and how the most degrading thing a woman could do is 'lick his balls'. Despite this, it's obviously misogynist in a lot of places, and also incredibly repetitive. Almost every track has him explaining how he 'don't love them ho's'. When it works, it works brilliantly, and the production is absolute peak Dre...but once you've heard Gin and Juice and Murder Was The Case, do you really need the other tracks?

This was better than some of the other rap albums I've gotten but some of the lyrics are really dated and haven't aged well which makes it a tough listen to at points. Still the beats are nice and I enjoy that G-funk sound. 3.5/5

Track just goes. I’ll be interested to see if we get Dr. Dre’s album that Snoop built on for Doggystyle

Crass funny g west coast shit. Sort of the companion album to Dre’s The Chronic, and you could make the argument one or the other is on the list but they probably aught to both be. Interesting to listen right after Kendrick who is pretty much the 2010 embodiment

Great voice and rhythm. It would be 4 stars except for the excessive profanity.

Not quite as enjoyable as it was when I was 16 but still enjoyed some of the tracks

Not in the more serious hip-hop genre that I like, but it's an album of it's time when West Coast rappers started getting big money 💰

Decent album but wouldn't listen again

Nice beat, cool flow, many bitches. Still, wouldn't call it a best rap album, but I appreciate the experience.

The chronic 2 high highes but gets boring too fast

I appreciate this album for launching Snoop's career, but some of the skits are absolutely terrible.

Oh hey its the Great British Bake-off host! Solid hooks and beats. Wears out its welcome fairly quick.

Not bad, there were some decent bits to it

I really like West Coast 90s hip hop so this should definitely be my jam. Snoop Dogg have really been on a ridiculuos amount of hits in that genre, but I wouldn't say they're on this album. I've listened to it a few times before but I always conclude that it's not really for me for some reason. There are some well known songs like 'Gin and Juice' and 'Who Am I', but I'm not that big a fan to be honest. They're not bad or anything, I just think there are way better songs out there (see 2001 by Dr. Dre for example) Solid 3 star rating; not bad but doesn't reach any great heights for me personally.

Something about this album just bores me a bit. Maybe I'm not the greatest fan of 90s west coast hip hop or something. The hits like "Gin and Juice" are good but as a whole I just get a bit unfocused. Still it is groovy and when I'm in the mood it's a decent listen. Brownie points for the album art, I like the juvenile art.

Rollo. Le pondré un 3 por las últimas canciones y las primeras. Pero por el medio aburría.

I’m not a big fan of all the drugs and sex references, but this sure is an iconic album, and it’s got a great feel!

Yeah, these lyrics are not it. The beats are cool, and I saved about half the songs, but the rest I can't listen to without physically recoiling.

Solid hip hop and classic production from Dre. Once again some of the skits grow a bit tiresome but still some great tracks in there. Three and a half. Fave track: The Shiznit

Snoop oozes charisma for sure and can turn in a memorable hook or line. But the album suffers from a lack of discipline and originality - so desperate for content, Snoop delivers a pointless Slick Rick cover. The sex and weed obsession grows tiresome and the guest artists, Lady of Rage aside, add nothing. And so we're left with Snoop's occasional charm and the real highlight - Dre's production built on Parliament/Funkadelic samples; Serial Killa, Who Am I (What's My Name) and Gin and Juice the stand outs on an album I rarely listen to in full.

Disco de hiphop del estilo característico de este autor. Letras desafiantes y la particularidad de su propia idiosincrasia. Se deja escuchar

Probably not super my thing, but I liked that it was more laid back.

Used to listen to this a fair bit in the day. Hasn’t aged well.

Una de les grans estrelles del hip hop comença el seu recorregut com a autèntic badass en aquest treball, on demostra una sinceritat que no tornaria a igualar. Un flow espectacular i uns temes que deixarien petjada en el génere durant la década que tot just començava. Malgrat tot, el disc s'envolta d'un aura històrica que el seu contingut no justifica

Classic G Funk beats, Snoops smooth style vocals, but the lyrical content is questionable.

This is pretty good! Dre makes this album really over the top for me. I love how irreverent it is, I love hearing snoop actually take the music thing kind of seriously. It is fun to be around. 3/5

Lyrics -4 stars, music 4 stars, Snoops smoothness on the mic 5 stars, dumb skits between songs -2 stars, dumb cover -1, ok it was 1993 +1 this leaves me with 3 stars.

It's weird. I prefered Snoop on Dr's Chronic album over his own album. A couple of songs that i liked a lot, but overall it was more of the same. Really good production, no surprise there, but just not for me.

Apareceu um disco de hip hop que não me incomodou e até agradou pelo uso agradável dos samples e vocais com qualidades melódicas.

Starts off very well but falls off a little by the last few tracks. The production is by far the highlight of this album, it makes even the lesser tracks stand out a bit more. The lyrics are generally pretty bad though and extremely self-referential but again the beats are so good it makes up for it a little.

I can get the appeal, there was some really great production in there. But I felt gross listening to it. Will not listen again.

Scott Kelly is definitely using his n word pass on this one

Está bastante bien. Me resulta super incomodo escuchar tanto ruido de agua y gemidos en él, pero, hablando de la música, termina siendo mucho más de lo que espero en un álbum de Hip Hop. Le doy tres porque, por no poder describirlo de otra forma, "siento que debo hacerlo", al escucharlo, creo que es un cuatro, pero algo me dice que no se lo merece realmente, de cualquier forma, muy lejos del cuatro, no está.

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.

One of the cooler-sounding hip hop albums I’ve heard on this list. I liked the alien sounding synths The humor reminds me of Eminem

Enjoyable and sure, he’s iconic. But there’s rap and hip hop I like more. 7 out of 10

after the first track - bathtub - i was nervous but it was enjoyable overall

This is for children. The skits are hilarious

Funny and laconic West coast flow is clever, though typical of this era the trenchant misogyny bums me out.

I always kind of dismissed Snoop as Dre’s side guy. Never listened to his solo records. But this rips. But it should be no surprise at this point that anything Snoop attached himself to is going to be successful. Side note, this album cover reminds me of the McGruff the Crime Dog album cover. McGruff was the spokesperson for the DARE movement in the 80s-90s. You can find that album on YouTube. You’re welcome.

Look it's alright, gin and juice is about all I can say is super good here but that's possibly down to recognition more than anything

Rap is niet mijn ding, maar dit album heeft wel lekkere beats. Heel toegankelijke sound! ***

Snoop blijft grappig. En ook best catchy

Wel veel dicks en bitches naar m'n smaak.

Hressilegt stöff, ýmislegt alveg þokkalegt og annað aðeins síðra.

I had a friend who played this non-stop in high school, so I think my enjoyment of this album comes at least as much from nostalgia as the music itself. The posturing of this album is pretty funny in light of how Snoop's image as a pop icon has changed in the intervening decades. But the production is super great, like everything that Dr. Dre was putting his hands on in this era, even if the lyrics are just absolutely dripping with misogyny.

Iconic but I would never play it, for reasons both sonic and cultural. But I mean, it's great.
