Free Music Notes for Doggystyle
Free Music Review: Doggystyle tells you to get down on the floor.
Hit: 5 Stars
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.Free Music Review: Snoop Dogg Raps Doggystyle.

"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
G. Merritt

Hit: 5 Stars
It's kind of sad....his first album was his best. He could never top his teenaged self. Classic.
All beats are fresh and all tracks are bangin'! This is one of the only older albums that REALLY holds up today and one of the only albums that I can still repeat over and over and not get bored with yet! It's crazy too because I've owned this thang for years and it never gets old.
His flow, style, lyrics were all fresh and different. Later all would sadly fade in time (he still one of the only great rappers around anymore though and prolly my favorite) but this was somethin' else!
Debatable as my fave album. It's just so damn FUNKAY!
West uuuuuup!
Free Music Review: The only Snoop album
Hit: 5 Stars
This is the only Snoop album worth buying. Why? It's his smash debut, backed by Dr. Dre's infectious beats, and an entourage of other talented rappers featured throughout. None of Snoop's follow-up albums have never come close to DoggyStyle.
To put it plainly, there isn't a single bad track here. Unfortunately one of the original tracks - entitled, Gz Up Hos Down - is no longer present due to copyright issues. It really rounded out the album perfectly because of it's slow thumping rhythm and horns.
Coming off his own debut success, Dre continues to re-invent Funk music for a new generation, aptly called G-Funk - for its focus on hardcore themes - on Snoops album. The drawback for many listeners will be the filthy lyrics and glorification of the most decadent elements of the American Dream - cars, women, sex, drugs, violence. But this is, for better or worse, part of American culture and always has been.
Doggystyle, along with Dr. Dre's The Chronic album, are as classically "musical" as rap albums get. There are enough grooves, smooth lyrics, and jingles that will make even the most ardent "live musician" purist give this a second listen, and add to the playlist. Just make sure there aren't any young kids around when it's booming from your speakers, lol.
