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

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 seem to have much Snoop at all are "at least" excellent by my book. The production, could actually be even better than the Chronic, nuff said there. Snoop brings to the table, his incredibly unique rapping style, with his amazingly laid-back flow/delivery which definitely is excellent with his ability to tell either "partying", "Chilled out" or hard-hitting, serious tales. Undoubtedly tracks like "Gin and Juice", "Murder Was The Case", "What's My Name" "Ain't No Fun" and "Doggy Dogg World are among the top hip hop songs of all time, all being highly classic. Though my personal favourite I'd say would have to be "Tha Shiznit". I'll say that I generally hate skits, but the ones on here aren't half bad, I don't desperately have to skip through them like I usually have to with skits, plus the guest appearances like DPG did great as well, though no way can come close to outshining Snoop.
Truly an outstanding 5 star classic. Honestly this is enough for anyone to respect Snoop fully despite the garbage he's released later in his career.
An absolute must have or any sort of hip hop fan.

Doggystyle tells you to get down on the floor. May 18, 2008

1993 was a magical year. It included two of the most influential pieces of art on the life of this young elf, Doggystyle, and Death Ring. It's amazing to think that Snoop was only 19 while making this classic on the heels of his watershed appearance in "Nuthin But a G Thing." There are really no definite weak spots in the album. And how many rap albums can you say that about? Usually, you're looking at two or three quality track, and the rest is complete filler. Obviously, there are the hits, but the album also includes quality songs that never got radio play. This includes "That Shiznit." Doggystyle is the very essence of what West Coast rap was all about in its day.
Snoop Dogg Raps Doggystyle. April 27, 2008

"Doggystyle is filled with verbal and vocal feats that meet its three-mile-high expectations. It speeds through 55 minutes of constant talk as if on a suicide hot line"--Rolling Stone.
With the singles "Who Am I (What's My Name)?" and "Gin and Juice," Snoop Dogg's 1993 debut, Doggystyle, not only introduced the world to gangsta rap and West Coast hip hop, but his provocative street rhymes (involving sex, dope, and violence) sparked arguments for censorship and labeling in the recording industry. Doggystyle is undeniably a rap classic. The critically-acclaimed album has been certified four times Platinum, and has sold over seven million copies since its release. The album follows Dr. Dre's The Chronic (1992) in its production style--so much so that some critics have claimed Doggystyle is a "carbon copy" of The Chronic. Dr. Dre produced both albums at the Death Row Studios. I have spent time endlessly pondering which is the better of the two five-star albums. Doggystyle has an Isaac Hayes and Curtis Mayfield groove, infused with some really sweet Marvin Gaye-like harmonies and brutal beats, yet with all the funk of Parliament. I consider Doggystyle one of the 10 best rap albums ever. Album tracks include:
1. Bathtub
2. G Funk Intro
3. Gin and Juice
4. That Shiznit
5. Lodi Dodi
6. Murder Was the Case (Death After Visualizing Eternity)
7. Serial Killa
8. Who Am I? (What's My Name) ?
9. For All My Niggaz and Bitches
10. Ain't No Fun (If My Homies Can't Have None)
11. Doggy Dogg World
12. GZ and Hustlas
13. Pump Pump
