Doggystyle

Review:

This was the debut album by Snoop Dogg( then Snoop Doggy Dogg). This was the second album of the G-funk genre after Dr.Dre's The Chronic.

The album painted a grim and gritty picture of street life in the 90s and how dangerous it can be. It talks about taking drugs, women as hoes was a common issue according to the lyrics.

This is not the album for those people who take music lyrics seriously.

Snoop Dogg's flow was very harmonious and gives fans a laidback feel and party vibe. Compared to The Chronic. It had a more relaxing and laidback tone whereas The Chronic had a more serious and darker tone.

The sound is very smooth and this is definitely a staple at pubs or clubs.

The album was produced by Dr.Dre who was then an engineer for the G-Funk genre and it was very well-produced. It was sample-heavy as The Chronic with multi-layered sound that is easy to dance to.

The Chronic & Doggystyle stands out as the pinnacles of G-funk & West Coast Hip-hop as they define the sound.

This is definitely one of the greatest hip-hop albums of all time.

Rating: 5/5 (Timeless Classic)
