This is an Enhanced CD, which contains both regular audio tracks and multimedia computer files. 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)."

Report this review Review created: 04/08/06 by: Let's get one thing straight: This album is great because it was in the right place and the right time. That time is now gone, which makes all subsequent efforts all the more tragic. Another thing, if you want to boil Snoop down into one song, it's a track that doesn't appear on this CD, or even a Dre album. It's called "Deep Cover," and was made for the movie of the same name. Dre's first album, THE CHRONIC, brought gangsta rap into a golden age (as well as its last). It was the most polished at the time, and DOGGYSTYLE stood right at that age's highest point. Death Row, at this time, eclipsed everything, truly controlling the image of what was good about commercial rap -- and I think it was also the engine of destruction for gangsta rap. Artists had trouble reconciling their true selves with the personas they created on wax. They lived vicariously through their own creations, dismissing the notion of repercussion. Everyone was yanked from this delusion, sobered by the deaths of Tupac Shakur and Christopher Wallace. But, DOGGYSTYLE is still a grand celebration of that life. As long as you realize there's music and there's the real world, Snoop supremely entertains. His lyrics are simple but immminently quotable. Dre's production is slick, and it's got a lot going for it. It will never be repeated, as others have said, because the times are different. Snoop's different -- oh, how he's sold out for th'paper. Now, I'm not saying Snoop is a sell-out, or that he didn't actually live a hard, urban life (if that's the case). I'm not saying Snoop is a madman -- no, that was Tupac. I think Snoop had the cred to talk about gangsta life way back when. It's a fantastic album about a terrible lifestyle. Review ID: 10000000000851064 Was this review helpful? Report this review Review created: 12/20/05 by: because i am a 42 yr. old,suburban, caucasian woman i thought i'd review a rap cd as, although not a huge fan of all rap, i love funk and soul. this was the right choice of rap for someone with my tastes- open, but critical and demanding of music. snoop blends urban prose (rap) with old school funk grooves- soulful backup vocals add to the atmosphere and attitude of the music. as if rap took a trip into the 70's!!this visit to the past makes this rapper not only listenable but brilliant for making his music marketable to multi-generational audiences. can't help but tap your foot!right on snoop!you are one "dawg dats down wit it!"
