Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

Snoop Doggy Dogg's debut didn't quite live up to the anticipation his earlier cameos with Dr. Dre had generated, but there's no denying his unique, just-chillin' flow on throw-downs like "Gin and Juice" and "Who Am I", even if the slight lyrical content and the disc's frequent smarmy interludes always leave you wishing for something a bit more substantial. These weaknesses can be easily overlooked, though, because Doggystyle is such a pure sonic feast. The production work of Dr. Dre- -built on irresistible P-funk bass, sweet 1970s soul samples, and eerie keyboard lines--makes this one of the most impressive-sounding albums you'll ever hear. -- David Cantwell

From Amazon.com

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 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

5.0 out of 5 stars Buy it now., 10 Oct 2003

By	Nathan J. Monaghan - See all my reviews

This review is from: Doggystyle (Audio CD)

"I've never heard a perfect album, but I'd like to make one."

A direct quote from Dr. Dre immediately before the sessions for this album began. Did he succeed in making a "perfect album"? Of course he did.

With Doggystyle, he took everything which made The Chronic a classic and improved on it. The main difference between the two is that Snoop Dogg does nearly all of the rapping and Dr. Dre focuses strictly on production. I won't claim not to like Dr. Dre's rhymes. I get a good laugh out of them sometimes. But Snoop Dogg is perfect for this kind of material. This production suits no-one better than him. So it's only fitting that Doggystyle became one of the top 20 greatest Hip-Hop albums ever.

Even though it came so soon after The Chronic, Dr. Dre seems to have improved on his production by 120%. There's not a bad beat on here. They're all good. From the hypnotic "Lodi Dodi", which pays homage to Slick Rick (and sounds great when stoned) to the laid-back party track "Doggy Dogg World", everything is perfect.

And Snoop Dogg is just Snoop Dogg. An unbelievable vocalist who can flow over Dr. Dre's production effortlessly and with considerable class.

A true masterpiece. Buy it immediately.

5.0 out of 5 stars ONE OF THE BEST HIP-HOP ALBUMS EVER INVENTED, 19 Nov 2000

By A Customer

Doggystyle is the mutts nuts apart from the irrating interludes every track is absolkuty pure class. From Gin and Juice to Ain't No Fun (If The Homies Can't Have None) and my own personel favourite Pump Pump. The only downfall is the fact that it is all over far to quickly but it still doesn't deter from the brillance of this album.

5.0 out of 5 stars The greatest rap album available!, 9 Nov 2000

By A Customer

Eminem's Marshall Mathers LP and Dre's 2001 are fairly recent hip hop albums and are milestones in rap history. But better than Doggystyle? NO WAY! I had my first listen of this album two weeks ago and despite it being seven years old, this is best album I have ever heard. It doesn't sound the least bit dated (apart from Snoop mentioning the year 1993 on 'Pump pump') and has tracks which beat genius tracks like Eminem's 'The Real Slim Shady' and 'Bitch Please II'. Time has been very kind to Doggystyle and I don't think other west coast rap albums could have been made if this hadn't.

5.0 out of 5 stars An old skool album that still appears fresh today.
Snoop Dogg's debut album was well ahead of its time when it was released several years ago, and its deep and heavy basslines are still used in gangsta rap today. Read more
