5.0 out of 5 stars Original Work of ART January 16, 2006

By J. Tyler

Format:Audio CD

I bought this CD in 1993 when the original version came out. It had 19 tracks, not 18 or 13. The real track 18 is "Gz Up, Hoes Down" and Track 19 is "Pump, Pump." I didn't even realize that later releases had tracks removed until I started looking for the album art for my iPod.

This album is a classic. if you want to buy it try to get the original with NINETEEN TRACKS. Don't allow yourself to miss Snoop in his full artistic form. This is definitely one of the Top Ten CD of All Time.

5.0 out of 5 stars Dr. Dre and Snoop's best project... period. February 2, 2000

By Patrick G. Varine

Format:Audio CD

This album is better than "The Chronic." There is no doubt about it. While "The Chronic" was without a doubt a hip-hop classic and a landmark album in g-funk (which Dre basically invented), "Doggystyle" is the result of both Dre refining his sound and Snoop refining his rhyme. It's a beautiful thing... This album is filled with laid-back grooves ("Lodi Dodi") and out-and-out party anthems ("What's My Name?," "Ain't No Fun") alongside horror-filled urban narratives ("Murder Was the Case," "Serial Killa"). It's the perfect balance of gangsta, playa and pimp all rolled into a fat blunt for all to smoke on. Sure, it was graphic... sure, it was violent... sure, it probably offended the majority of people who listened to it... but it sure was fun, wasn't it? Get this album... if you're a real hip-hop head, this deserves to be in your collection.

5.0 out of 5 stars Snoop in his prime!!!!!!!!! April 14, 2004

By Wayne Maye

Format:Audio CD

Snoop Dogg reigned supreme in 93 with this CLASSIC. Snoop was perhaps one of the coolest rappers to emerge from the west during this time, and when he dropped this album, he took the east AND the west by storm. And what resulted was his ABSOLUTE BEST album to this very day. Here's the review:

Album Highlights: The ENTIRE album, EVERY song here literally is a classic.

Production: Thumbs up, laced with the supreme skills of Dr.Dre.

Lyrics and Subject Matter: Thumbs up, Snoop doesn't rhyme like this today.

Originality: Thumbs up.

The Last Word: It's a shame that we don't have THIS Snoop today. But in 93, he was on top of the world, on top of his game, and TRULY in his prime. He didn't peak until he went to the corny No Limit Records in an attempt to resurrect his career. But with Doggystyle, he forged an unforgettable classic, up there with the likes of Dre's The Chronic. Another STRONG recommendation for this album. You won't regret buying this album.
