What I mean by that is when people always have arguements on here about snoop vs some other rapper they always bring up doggystyle like he made it all by himself.This album was a collective work from many artists.This is a result of dre and Nate and everyone else at death row all at the top of their game.Doc helping snoop write and dre making the music with unforgettable guest spots.Since then what has he done?If you take doggystyle away from his catalogue what are you left with?A bunch of inconsistent music.Snoop didn't make a classic the same way nas or biggie or PAC made a classic.He had tons of help.Snoop could never make a classic if left to his own devices and he's proven that throughout the rest of his career.Its why when people talk about the greatest to ever do it he has never and will never be mentioned
and btw Snoop post Doggystyle albums get worse and worse it seems
the best lyrics were wrote by DOC (or Slick Rick), the best verses on the album were Kurupt (for all my niggas and my bitches + doggy dogg world)Snoop was amazing on it but so many people don't even KNOW "lodi dodi" wasn't Snoops!!this is my 3rd favorite CD ever....but just like how THE CHRONIC was not just Doc Dre, Doggystyle was not just Snoop.

Other than the last meal, the No Limit album were disappointments.. They did have a few tracks that were good on each album, but they lacked something. The album with Pharell (R&G), (Paid The Cost), they brought him back up to "star" level cuz pharell was hot at the time. BCT and Ego Trippin he kinda got back to westcoast music featuring more artists from the coast...Snoop is to the point where he's running out of ideas, so we are fans of his arent willing to accept his change cuz it seems like hes just pushing albums on us without really takin our opinions into consideration...Im sure everybody would agree that Press Play off Ego Trippin gets more spins in our MP3s, Systems and Computer than Sexual Eruption

So Doggystyle isn't a Snoop album because he had producers and guest artists on it? You guys crack me up. Every fucking album made in popular music is the result of collaborating. If you remove Doggystyle from the mix, you have nothing? You are trying way too hard to underplay the man. Without Doggystyle, you still have Deep Cover. You still have his work on "The Chronic". You still have the Murder Was The Case soundtrack. You still have his songs with Tha Dogg Pound, 2Pac. You still have his songs on Tha Eastsidaz albums. You still have "Drop It Like It's Hot", which while I'm not really a fan was his first #1 single in his career. And I can keep going. Doggystyle is the album everyone brings up because it's that rare classic album that few artists have in them. As much as everyone throws the term around, there aren't that many artsits who drop an actual classic album of that caliber. Plenty of people have studios full of dope producers and crews full of talented writers, singers, and rappers at their disposal but few people ever drop a "Doggystyle". To say that Snoop is overrated because he didn't drop an album like that every time he went out is absurd to me. It's like saying Michael Jackson is overrated because he never topped "Thriller". Neither Snoop's skills nor sales have steadily declined since 1993-94. He's put out some bad stuff and he's dropped some classic material. I mean, just who exactly are we comparing Snoop to here? Who has dropped a classic debut without the help of a great producer then gone on to either top or match it with each subsequent release while still pushing platinum numbers? Let's hear how many names we can come up with.
