West Coast and the Southern rappers bonded over funk music
The day the album dropped my 14 year old cousin didn't have enough money to buy the tape. He got on the phone and called around until he found someone who had it then called our other potna on three way and convinced the first dude to put the phone next to his radio so they could listen to THE WHOLE TAPE. Dude put the phone down, pressed play and did stuff around the house, came back to flip the tape over when side one was finished and played the rest 😂😂😂
Snoop is the reason hockey jerseys became a thing in the culture. I know I wasn’t the only kid that saw those videos and asked for a Penguins jersey.
One of the best album of all time front to back no skips also one of the top 5 debut albums ever
Snoop had a South Carolina project kid rocking an Hartford Whalers jersey in a hole in the wall club in the summer 😂😂😂
I'm 1 million % convinced that the sales of this album were so high because ppls parents would take it and then we'd just order another thru Columbia House. I did it like 4 or 5 times myself.
The G-Funk was in full motion. Doggystyle was an impact in ‘93 & ‘94. Dr. Dre produced the hell out of that album on Snoop Dogg
The 1st “gangsta rapper” to become a pop star late 93-94 was a muthafucka cuz Midnight Marauders, Enter the 36 chambers, and Doggystyle all came out in November of 93 so it helped to usher in this classic time period
At the time, “Doggystyle” was the most anticipated rap album of all time…and it might still be.
Great editing and analysis as always. This series is gonna be sick.
94 was a dope year, Doggystyle, Enter the wu tang were dope albums from ‘93 that was still knocking that year then when Nas, Biggie, OutKast and Bone Thugs came through in their rookie year for ’94 with dope debuts that just solidified how magical 1994 was for hip hop
keep em coming Bo!!! i wouldve liked it longer, but i understand. Cant wait for southernplayalistic Id love a series on all the Outkast and prime Prince ones as well. Just giving suggestions.
I’m just glad Snoop was able to get Gz up Hoes down added back on the album for the 30th anniversary edition.
For me best track is The Shiznit! Sure I got the CD for What's My Name and Gin and Juice but The Shiznit was, well...The Shiznit! Low key hype!
Gz and Hustlas. My man. 🫡 DEFINITELY my favorite Snoop song, period. Shout-out and RIP to Bernard Wright for that Haboglabotribin'.
MORE OF THESE PLZZZ!!!!💯
Can't wait for the next one!
so ill Bo is able to finally carve out an entire series dedicated to this
I copped it the very first day (CD Form) and still play it when I dust off the CD player💪🏿💯
The album that made me fall in love with Hip Hop till today
