20 Years On: Snoop Doggy Dogg’s “Doggystyle” (Stream LP, Leftovers, Photos & More)

http://www.dubcnn.com/2013/11/23/20-years-on-snoop-doggy-doggs-doggystyle-stream-lp-leftovers-photos-more/

20 years ago today an album was released that was to change the shape of Hip-Hop for the following two decades.

After months of hype following his debut on Dr. Dre’s “The Chronic” – November 23rd 1993 saw Snoop Doggy Dogg’s debut album “Doggystyle” hit the streets.

The incredible debut saw Hip-Hop Heads in their thousands head to local records stores to pick up the most talked about record of the year – and perhaps, when we look back, one of the most important records ever released in the genre.

The distinctive sounds of “Doggystyle” introduced “G-funk” to a global, mainstream audience, ensuring West Coast Hip-Hop rose to dominance across radio and TV over the following years. “Doggystyle” debuted at number one on the Billboard 200 chart, and sold 802,858 copies in its first week alone – which was the record for a debuting artist and the fastest-selling album ever until Eminem’s “The Marshall Mathers LP” in 2000. The Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) certified “Doggystyle” quadruple platinum in 2008 and it remains Snoop Dogg’s highest-selling album.

Snoop has spoken about “Doggystyle” in countless interviews but rarely as candidly as he has down the years with DubCNN.com – especially when he discussed the production on the record with us in 2006. Ensure you check out the entire four-part epic here. You can also read the DubCNN track-by-track review from 2002, here.

The influence of the album is still felt today – and is reinforced by Kendrick Lamar in a recent interview where he spoke about the impact of “Doggystyle” on his early life, and career;

“That’s all they were playing around you as a kid, I couldn’t escape it. I’m definitely influenced by that album. The structure. The cohesiveness. The skits. The flow. The melodies Snoop kicked. The raw raps. There wouldn’t be a Kendrick Lamar without Doggystyle. [What stood out about the album] was its sound. Albums that last that long have their own sound. It was nothing duplicated, that’s why it stood out. It was that G-Funk.”

Let’s remind you all what a classic “Doggystyle” is – you can stream the full album below – and ensure if you dont’ have a digital copy you get it now via iTunes.

top 5 for me....still can't decide if i like it better than the Chronic.  I'd say yes but the fact that Dre doesn't rap on any of the songs (because next episode was taken off) always had the album end with an empty feel.  like you know Pump Pump isn't really the last track on the cd but yet that's how it got released.

I've never felt Dre needed to rap on it.  I felt his presence was established through out.

I posted about buying this at Wherehouse the day it came out on tape. To me it's not better than the Chronic, but that's just me. But it is a top 5 album for me, and it is the album that defines my early teens (13-15) more so than any other album.

No they did not .They grew up. Snoop Dogg was a Punk ass teenager when he made doggy style . HE became a man & a father.
