Produced by the infamous Dr. Dre with assistance from Mr. Suge Knight, Doggy Style was the first solo outing by Calvin Broadus a.k.a. Snoop Doggy Dog. Incorporating a straight gangsta vibe into the deep funk grooves pioneered by George Clinton and his Parliament-Funkadelic ensemble, Snoop and Dre dogmatically invent the "G-Funk" aesthetic. Espousing an irreverent dope, bitches, and guns mentality, Doggy Style garnered the Parental Advisory for explicit lyrics it sorely deserved. Still, Snoop's lazy-yet-acrobatic rap/drawl is distinctive and undeniably entertaining. With additional vocals from Tha Dogg Pound (Nate Dogg, Warren G, Kurupt, and Dat Nigger Daz), this disc is deceptively professional and musically quite slick. "Murder Was The Case" is practically an inner-city classic, while "Ain't No Fun" is another blunted, urban-rap anthem. Woof! --Mitch Myers

- Classic rap from the early 90's
This is a classic rap album from the early 90's.If you grew up in the early 90's this is a must have.It has some timeless classics that can be thrown into a party mix to change things up a little.It's pretty heavy on cursing also, so this is the album that Tipper Gore and crew warned you about, hahaEnjoy!
Rating: - DOGGY DOGG WORLD
This is one of the best Gangsta rated albums of all time. In a time where the west coast was running everything Snoop con. to help the west stay on top. If you think this is just about B****s and H**s then you should think again. IF you are going to get on the internet and promote you feministic bs then do it where ppl care like montana or some place not in cali. This is a G-rated album and if all you can do is hate then take your dumb A** review some place else lady.
Rating: - Snoop Doggy Dogg - "Doggystyle" (5 stars)
Before the release of this album in 1993, Snoop Doggy Dogg was already a household name in hip-hop, appearing as a guest on well over half of Dr. Dre's classic 1992 album "The Chronic" and he wrote most of Dre's rhymes on that album. So in a way, this debut album could very well be considered a sophomore release, but either way, Snoop holds his own on this album, and it is completely flawless.

Rating: - This cannot be the same guy whose released crap like Paid tha Cost and R&G
God damn it, it's just beyond my belief as to how someone who can drop a straight classic from top to bottom like this here, can then later became so terrible. Okay, so comparing everything else his done to this might be a bit harsh but he changed his style completely after Deathrow Records. Its one hell of a shame considering how talented he can be, proven by albums like this.
There is seriously, absolutely no disappointments on this album to speak of. Every track, even the ones that don't ... Read More
