I am the proud owner of no less than nine of Snoop Dogg's albums (nine I hear you cry!) And I hope to add to this collection soon. I have the following albums, of which some are imported from America.
Doggystyle is the best of the lot. It has some excellent tracks on it, and some of Snoop Dogg's best ever songs are on this. If there is one fault with this album, it is that a couple of the songs sound a bit samey. This is due to the distinctive beat that was popular in the early 1990's, however this is no problem as it isn't as if the beat isn't good! My favourites on the album, which believe me are hard to pick would be G'z and Hustlaz and Lodi Dodi. Both are amazingly crafted, and deserve recognition as some of the best ever tunes released by Snoop Dogg.
As in most rap albums, the language here is quite bad, however this helps the artists express their feelings, and contrary to some peoples beliefs, it isn't just there for the sake of it. There is also the fact that bad language helps sell albums.....not that Doggystyle needs any help selling itself. Avoid this album if you dislike bad language, and in fact avoid all hip-hop albums for that matter too.
This touches on Snoop Dogg's lifestyle, and has many stories to his songs. The album has many skits which help the album flow, and one song runs into the next. This is better than the two second gap as in many other albums, and the songs sound a lot better this way.
Doggystyle should take the credit for all the G-Funk era, however Dr. Dre's the Chronic claims it all. This is truly a great album, and is defiantly one of my favourites.

Advantages: His best album, all the songs are great Disadvantages: None
...Ain't no Fun Doggy Dogg World Gz and Hustlas Pump Pump All of the tracks on this album contains bad language this is to tie into the fact this album is telling people what he has expierienced and what it was like and he has tried to share this with the listeners. This album anyway in my opinion is the best one that snoop has brought out just because it brings in different aspects of style and many different interesting lyrics. I am going to describe ... ...Gin and Juice This was one of the songs on the album that he did by himself. The chorus is very catchy and it is one of the poppiest songs on the track. It is also one of the easiest to dance to as well. So it makes the track very popular. Who am I (Whats my Name) This is one of two songs that is self titled (along with the one on Tha Last Meal) and had some resemblence to the song nuthin but a "G" thang which was also a success. Very catcy once ...

Advantages: Great lyrics over pure G-Funk Disadvantages: Personally i don't think there are any
...Death Row's new protege, Snoop Doggy Dogg. His unique voice and style, classic lyrics and amazing song writing skills made him stand up even Dre on his album. It was only a matter of time before he released his own album and "Doggystyle" didn't dissapoint.
The "G-funk intro" sets the scene for the rest of the album. Great tune while it lasts, but this is only an appetiser.
"Gin and Juice" is the first main track from the album. Classic g-funk tune ... ...name)" had people singing "Snoop Doggy Dogggggggggggggg!" all other the world. Great g-funk tune with some classic Snoop rhyming.
Again the album makes a turn with the dark "For all my N***az". Featuring Tha Dogg Pound, Snoop again rolls out another good track.
Heard Mariah Carey's "Heartbreaker"? Well now you know where she got the melody from. "Aint No Fun" is an explicit but fun track . Again featuring Kurupt but also a young Nate Dogg singing ...

...13. Chronic Break 14. Doggy Dogg World 15. U Betta Ask Somebody 16. G'z & Hustlas 17. U Betta Recognise 18. Pump Pump This album was a joint effort between producer Dr. Dre, and rapper Snoop Dogg. Dr. Dre is considered by many with justification as the greatest grandmaster music producer of Hip-Hop, basing his influences and samples on the Funk music of bands like Parliament, George Clinton, Funkadelic, and Zapp & Roger Troutman, and blending them ... ...with head nodding beats to create a smooth musical texture for the vocalist to sink his teeth into and spit with a commanding delivery. Snoop Dogg had appeared on Dr. Dre's own album "The Chronic" and gained a high profile for his portrayal of a ruthless, trigger happy gangster killer with a disturbingly cool and disaffected sing-song delivery. When Dr. Dre and him pulld together to make this back in 1993- Snoop's first solo album, Hip Hop fans were ...

Advantages: Sublime lyrics and catchy tunes Disadvantages: none that i know off
I bought TOP DOGG before i bought this and loved that album so i just had to have more. People i knew told me about this album and i knew i was gonna have to have it. I was not dissapointed at all with smooth west coast rapping and the best production possible by the great Dr DRE this is a classic from the G Funk Era. Some of the best songs i have ever heard are on this album two of them being " Who Am I" a bit of a ghetto anthem but ever so good. ... ...No Fun" you know the Mariah Carrey song with the video featuring Snoop Dogg and Da Brat i could never figure out why he was there until i heard this. This is the original and so much better than mariahs the catchy tune is still there but with the gangsta rapping over the top ot is so muh more than she made of it. The rest of the album is just as good with the best rapping i have ever heard and with complete DRE production this makes this snoops best ...

Album Notes
This is an enhanced audio CD which contains regular audio tracks and multimedia computer files including the video for "What's My Name." Personnel includes: Snoop Doggy Dogg, Dr. Dre, Dat Nigga Daz, The Queen Of Funk, Ricky Harris, RBX, The Dogg Pound, Nate Dogg, Warren G, Kurupt, The Hug, Nancy Fletcher, The Lady Of Rage, D.O.C., Lil Malik, The Dramatics (rap vocals). All tracks have been digitally remastered. "Gin & Juice" was nominated for a 1995 Grammy Award for Best Rap Solo Performance. Long Beach, California's Snoop Doggy Dogg made one of the most successful debuts in rap music with DOGGYSTYLE. Introduced on the Dr. Dre single "Deep Cover," Snoop gained further popularity with his smoothed-out gangsta-type flow on Dre's THE CHRONIC. His music has ruled the clubs and the airwaves ever since, and the fact that his Dr. Dre-directed video "Murder Was The Case" was extended into an 18-minute feature-length film with its own soundtrack is further proof of just how much pull Snoop has in the hip-hop nation. Having super-producer Dr. Dre behind the scenes guaranteed DOGGYSTYLE a top ten spot on the pop charts. Singles like "Gin And Juice" and "Who Am I (What's My Name)" have helped Snoop gain the recognition of the entire music industry without selling out his original rap audience. Possessing among the most unique deliveries in hip-hop, Snoop revives the old-school with his remake of the classic "Lodi Dodi"--originally performed by Slick Rick, and reinterpreted in a West Coast style. A guest appearance by The Dramatics on "Doggy Dog World" also helps illustrate the rapper's fondness for 70's grooves. And just as Dre pushed him out front on THE CHRONIC, Snoop empowers Tha Dogg Pound on DOGGYSTYLE, allowing his homies to share in his spotlight on "Ain't No Fun (If The Homies Can't Have None)."
Album Reviews
Rolling Stone (5/13/99, p.73) - Included in Rolling Stone's "Essential Recordings of the 90's." Rolling Stone (1/27/94, p.51) - 4 Stars - Excellent - "...DOGGYSTYLE is filled with verbal and vocal feats that meet its three-mile-high expectations....DOGGYSTYLE speeds through 55 minutes of constant talk as if on a suicide hot line...." Musician (2/94, p.69) - "...[DOGGYSTYLE] succeeds on its own terms ...[Snoop's] the gangsta Marvin Gaye of Dr. Dre's Motown. It's the clever interplay of `hard' and `soft' which keeps some of these tracks alive; sweet harmonies blossom in the middle of brutal rhythm tracks...a funky, multifaceted album...." Vibe (2/94, p.103) - "...Snoop is good, no doubt about it. His cool, lazy drawl is unique, evocative, rhythmically complex--the perfect foil for Dre's thick, tense beats...The big story on THE CHRONIC was Snoop stealing Dre's thunder; on DOGGYSTYLE, Dre snatches it back...." The Source (2/94, p.67) - "...[Snoop] emerges as an MC who lives up to all of his advance hype...." Q (2/94, p.95) - 3 Stars - Good - "...when this funky/sleazy trick works, it is the very best that modern pop has to offer..." NME (12/4/93, p.26) - "...Masterminded by Dr. Dre's faultless production, DOGGYSTYLE is both a wonderfully comic splurge of Parliament funking and barely suppressed violence..." Melody Maker (12/11/93, p.28) - "...The music is sumptuous, soulful and genuinely menacing....Snoop Dogg is the real McCoy...." Entertainment Weekly (12/10/93, pp.74-75) - "...[DOGGYSTYLE] is the most limber, low-rider gangsta album to date...it's easy to be impressed one moment and appalled the next..." - Rating: B-
