This is the ONLY Snoop Album To BuyReview created: 04/08/06

Let's get one thing straight: This album is great because it was in the right place and the right time. That time is now gone, which makes all subsequent efforts all the more tragic. Another thing, if you want to boil Snoop down into one song, it's a track that doesn't appear on this CD, or even a Dre album. It's called "Deep Cover," and was made for the movie of the same name.
Dre's first album, THE CHRONIC, brought gangsta rap into a golden age (as well as its last). It was the most polished at the time, and DOGGYSTYLE stood right at that age's highest point. Death Row, at this time, eclipsed everything, truly controlling the image of what was good about commercial rap -- and I think it was also the engine of destruction for gangsta rap. Artists had trouble reconciling their true selves with the personas they created on wax. They lived vicariously through their own creations, dismissing the notion of repercussion. Everyone was yanked from this delusion, sobered by the deaths of Tupac Shakur and Christopher Wallace.
But, DOGGYSTYLE is still a grand celebration of that life. As long as you realize there's music and there's the real world, Snoop supremely entertains. His lyrics are simple but immminently quotable. Dre's production is slick, and it's got a lot going for it. It will never be repeated, as others have said, because the times are different. Snoop's different -- oh, how he's sold out for th'paper. Now, I'm not saying Snoop is a sell-out, or that he didn't actually live a hard, urban life (if that's the case). I'm not saying Snoop is a madman -- no, that was Tupac. I think Snoop had the cred to talk about gangsta life way back when.
It's a fantastic album about a terrible lifestyle.

blues-rocker rap review- snoop doggy dogg - doggystyleReview created: 12/20/05
by:
because i am a 42 yr. old,suburban, caucasian woman i thought i'd review a rap cd as, although not a huge fan of all rap, i love funk and soul. this was the right choice of rap for someone with my tastes- open, but critical and demanding of music. snoop blends urban prose (rap) with old school funk grooves- soulful backup vocals add to the atmosphere and attitude of the music. as if rap took a trip into the 70's!!this visit to the past makes this rapper not only listenable but brilliant for making his music marketable to multi-generational audiences. can't help but tap your foot!right on snoop!you are one "dawg dats down wit it!"

Snoop's "Doggystyle" : Funky Fun And Unfulfilled PromiseReview created: 07/28/07

Pros:
IMHO, Dre's best production, Snoop when he was still young and (relatively) hungry.

These days, we know Snoop Dogg as...well what exactly? In line with his stage name, Calvin Broadus has become almost a cartoon character over the course of his fifteen-year career. He appears in commercials, pops up on the occasional TV show or movie. He might pop in on your favorite late night talk show. It's enough for you to forget that he was once the hottest rapper alive. Take it from me, Snoop was hailed as the second coming back in the early Nineties. With a chilled-out drawl that was equal parts Deputy Dawg and Slick Rick, Snoop joined forces with producer Dr. Dre on the latter's solo.

Pros:
A continuation of the G-funk sound that made "The Chronic" such a joy.

It's been a long time since last I took a turn into the wrong side of the music business. I don't stray into the world of rap and hip-hop very often, so please keep in mind that you are not reading the opinion of an aficionado. I just calls it as I hears it, mah nizzle, so throw on your favorite doorag and let's get down to binnis. It's really hard to criticize an album like "Doggystyle", given its historical value. It was, along with Dr. Dre's "The Chronic", the cornerstone of the gangsta rap movement that burst out of the L.A. ghettos in the early 1990's. I wasn't really down with all that..

Remember When It Was a Doggy Dogg World?Review created: 10/21/04

People can say what they want about important, pioneer rap groups like Public Enemy and N.W.A., and they can say what they want about the wider audience that rappers like Jay Z and Eminem have garnered, perhaps no two people are more responsible for hip hop's ascension than the dynamic duo of Dr.Dre and Snoop Doggy Dogg. Dre's The Chronic album was owned by everyone when I was in middle school and my first two years of high school. And Snoop's debut, Doggystyle was just as popular, and to this day, it stands as the only Snoop Dogg record a casual fan needs to own. Murder Was the Case is...

Snoop hit's the jackpot with one of my favourite west coast albums of all timeReview created: 08/20/03

Out of the West Coast have come many historical figures to hip hop/rap. We first start with Kam and Ras Kass and gently move onto Dr Dre, Suge Knight and of course the one and only Snoop Doggy Dogg. In the time period of the late 80's to early 90's, all eyes were set on the West as N.W.A launched what was to be a conquer of the rap world. Then when splitting apart their assembled group and branching off to their own territories, came the wake up call for the world to be introduced to, the Chronic. With Dre taking the production (and unfortunately the mic) and Snoop taking more than his fair...

Snoop Dogg, is one of those few emcees that even your grandmother knows. With a slick, smooth delivery, funky, groundbreaking production, and an infamous obsession to weed. Nearly everybody has, or knows sh*t by Snoop. Bursting onto the hip hop scene WAY back in 1993, snoop raised many eyebrows upon his debut, and is still today, credited as to one of the main reasons the Chronic has enjoyed the huge success it has. Backed by west coast producer and legend Dr Dre, Snoop s sing a along style proved a popular hit with rap fans, and his unforgettable appearances on classics such as ain t nothing.
