BathtubFunk IntroGin and Juice. Review: An Oldie but Still a Goodie - This cd was ordered to replace the one I bought when it first came out, but mysteriously vanished. I LOVE the music. Review: This album is what got gangsta rap main stream - This is the album that really kicked gangsta rap into the main stream. Dr. Dre came along and had tons of success with The Chronic but honestly I think a lot of people thought it was a fluke. When Snoop Dogg released 'Doggstyle' it did 2 things. First, it proved that Dr. Dre is no fluke, period. Second, it showed that rap mixed with RnB can be not only radio friendly but great to listen to. My personal favorite is 'Murder was the Case' although Gin and Juice got much more air play. Unfortunately none of Snoop's albums since has been at this level but that's really not a knock against him, when you put out a great album it's all but impossible to duplicate it. The only reason I don't listen to this album more is the language and lyrical content (it isn't fit, in my opinion, for my 2 year old to hear) When I do get a chance to listen to it, however, it sounds just as fresh as when it was first released over 10 years ago - give it a listen and pick up a copy.

Old good stuff
What can you say, this was the big Snoop Dog album that everyone wanted. Did I mention that was in high school and the cool part is, the music is still good. I hadn't listened to it in several years and after downloading it. I forgot how good it really was. There is some good stuff here, the kind of music you will be humming throughout the day. Whether you are a fan of old school rap, hip hop, rock, r&b, or any other style, this is good stuff. It's just plain and simple "Classic"

Snoop Dogg Doggy Style
I would like to say this is by far one of the best G Funk albums 2nd to the Chronic the track listing has always been the same on the back of the CD it still has all the intro tracks don't worry about the tracks not being listed some other albums you need in your collection is of course Dr Dre The Chronic Eazy E's Eazy Dus It Ice Cube's The Predator 2Pac's 2pacalips now as far as the East Coast get Biggie's Ready To Die Wu Tang 36 Chambers ODB's 36 Chambers the Dirty Virgin Wu Tang For Ever Jay Z's Vol. 2, Hard Knock Life Nas it was written Redman's Whut Thee Album as well as Redman's Dare Iz a Darkside all classics ofcoue there are others but to me these are top notch

Good... not great
Fairly new to rap/hip-hop and have been stunned by the musicality and smart lyrics of some artists... most notably Ice Cube and Eminem. Took this plunge based on multiple "Best" lists including it. To my ear Snoop just fell short of them on those counts. Silver-tongued and quick, but not substantial with only a handful of truly memorable tracks. So good... not great.

Snoop's first and best album
It's kind of sad....his first album was his best. He could never top his teenaged self. Classic. All beats are fresh and all tracks are bangin'! This is one of the only older albums that REALLY holds up today and one of the only albums that I can still repeat over and over and not get bored with yet! It's crazy too because I've owned this thang for years and it never gets old. His flow, style, lyrics were all fresh and different. Later all would sadly fade in time (he still one of the only great rappers around anymore though and prolly my favorite) but this was somethin' else! Debatable as my fave album. It's just so damn FUNKAY! West uuuuuup!

Para mí el MEJOR disco de Snoop Dogg. El primer disco en solitario del rapero de Long Beach, una auténcia maravilla. Es uno de los álbumes que estás obligado a escuchar al menos 1 vez en tu vida, porque cada canción es una delicia auditiva. Sin duda, lo considero uno de los álbumes más representativos de los que era la West-Coast en los 90's. El envío sin duda ha sido espectacular por parte de Amazon y el CD llegó rápido y en perfecto estado.

Great album great artist. Snoop Dogg makes great albums and has good colab's, this album's one of the greats and this is the right place to buy from at such a cheap cost & quick delivery time. Many songs on this album are very catchy and don't get old, on many other artists albums I find myself skipping tracks, but this is not one of them.
