Doggystyle is the debut album by Snoop Doggy Dogg, released on November 23, 1993 by Death Row and Interscope. Produced by Dr. Dre, it arrived with enormous anticipation after Snoop’s star turn on The Chronic.

The story

Recorded in 1993 at studios across Los Angeles, including The Village and Larrabee, the album introduced Snoop’s laid-back drawl to a mass audience through “Who Am I? (What’s My Name?)” and “Gin and Juice,” both Top 10 hits on the Hot 100. Tha Dogg Pound, Nate Dogg and Warren G appear throughout, and the cartoon cover nods to George Clinton’s “Atomic Dog.”

Sound and production

Dr. Dre refined the G-funk sound of The Chronic with slinky basslines, P-Funk grooves and whining synth leads built around Snoop’s effortless flow.

Charts and certifications

Doggystyle debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 with about 806,000 copies in its first week, a record for a debut artist at the time, and also reached No. 1 on the R&B/Hip-Hop albums chart. It is certified 4× Platinum by the RIAA.

Legacy

It helped carry G-funk into the mainstream and ranks No. 340 on Rolling Stone’s 2020 list of the 500 Greatest Albums of All Time.
