2LP Vinyl – DRR112330 45RPM 30th Anniversary Edition

A child of the 70s, Snoop infused his vibrant debut with sounds of funk, soul, and psychedelia, crafting a biting cocktail of swirling sounds, unlike anything that preceded it. Doggystyle’s appreciation for the past (and its lack of specific rap beef diss tracks) gives it a truly timeless feel. Dr. Dre’s funky production permeates through tracks like the abrasive run-on freestyle "Tha Shiznit," the infectious, identity-establishing "Who Am I? (What's My Name?)," and the call for community in flex track "For All My N****z & Bitches." Still, he was able to demonstrate his West Coast gangsta prowess, as with "Murder Was the Case," a supernatural journey through street violence, and the hard-hitting ensemble piece “Serial Killa,” which finds him in the round with D.O.C., RBX, and Tha Dogg Pound.
