I Ditched Class In High School, To Go Pick Up This Snoop Dogg Doggy Style Cassette Tape The Day It Was Released. It Was Worth It, That Day.True History In My Life.
Fun Fact: In 2013, Snoop revealed that he's never listened to ‘Doggystyle’ top to bottom. He further added that he hasn't listened to any of his projects all the way through
Doggystyle was the 1st CD album I bought when i was a kid. That album turnt me out. My favorite tracks are "pump pump", "g'z & hustla'z", "lodi dodi", etc. Truthfully it is a classic, you can listen top to bottom, no skips. I was born in 91 and I just went back and listened to the 90's when the 2000's artists was going crazy.
Ye man Will Smith was releasing some bangers back then too, records like, 'Homebase' under the name of DJ Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince. Man them dudes were really hip and cool back then. The real life 'Boyz in da Hood!'
My older Step-Brother recorded me a tape of this album. Listened to it non-stop. My Mother took my walkmen and gave it a listen. Upon returning home she punched me in the face repeatedly. And kicked me three times while I was on the ground. I was grounded for the rest of the Summer. I was 10. NO repercussions for my 14 yr old step brother who gave it to me. He was my Stepdad's kid and she didn't wanna fuck with her meal ticket. I'm a hip hop artist till this very day. I don't speak with my Mother anymore.
@rustylocks4596 she was just old school who didn't want her kid listening to bad words... a couple of azz whooping never hurt nobody.. u should try to reconnect wt ur mom n let her know how u feel it wasn't right to treat u like that, that one time
It's a bonafide classic and a game changer for Rap music. It doesn't matter what you may think about Snoop you cant deny that this record isn't one of the greatest debut albums of all time. You did it again man. Another amazing episode.
The 90s has the best rap albums imo. Dmx, 2pac, wutang, mobb deep, nwa(without cube), nas, snoop, big pun, bone thugs, 36 mafia, master p n no limit, the list goes on... so many classics.🤌

i was a kid in Berlin Germany. i was eleven years old and american hip hop was very popular in Berlin, especially because of the GIs here. My older sister was listening to hip hop and gave me and my older brother the cds. and we loved this album when it came out. West coast rap was very popular amongst my friends at this time. great time!!!
I was 16 years old in '93 I can definitely agree with this I'm from Brooklyn NY that was the first west Coast album that got major airplay here on hot 97 and every car driving pass playing a different track from that album the only time I seen anything like that was when The Wu dropped 36 Chambers that same year & '94
I was a 10 year old kid, living in a small town in england, when this dropped. I remember a family friend rocking up blaring it out and i was instantly hooked. I managed to steal the tape, re-record it and get it back thinking i was slick. The bloke noticed and eventually bought me a copy. This album introduced me to Rap, Westcoast Rap and most importantly, G Funk rap. It’ll always have a place in my heart but i actually think Snoops ‘Tha Last Meal’ is his best piece. Great Documentary fella, enjoyed the listen.
Bro, they should've made "Smoke On" a single, like I can see the music video for it in my head already, Snoop walking around Long Beach hanging with the community.
Im not even 19 yet but i stay educated on historic music. The first time i listened this album i was like wow i felt like i got teleported to 1993, i was amused by the samples that were made from this album such as the intro for ready to die by Notorious big, but yeah overall i love this album and i still listen to it along with other 90s albums.
I was in the 9th grade. The album came out during a home basketball game. All of my friends left the stands to go listen t o the album. We had to wait for someone to buy us copies, and that peson had to go to Camelot Records, get copies, then drop them off at the school.
Doggystyle was the very first rap tape I ever bought with money I saved up myself when I was 11 years old. I used to listen to that tape front to back not ff a single song or skit, and it had some classic skits
The chronic was cool sitting in the back of my dad's car, but doggystyle in my walk man was the first true album that made my head explode as a thirteen year old youngsta learned this album from front to back. Snoops vocals are indeed in my DNA!!!!
Never heard it before making this video due to its absence from the album for years. DEFINITELY one of the best Snoop songs that I've ever heard. His flow, the sample, the beat, etc. I'm glad the sample finally got cleared
@@cloutcancunI had it on the original tape release, by the time the CD was released, it was gone. Definitley my favorite Snoop song. Same thing on the Above The Rim Soundtrack with Pain by 2pac.
You can also see how far Dre has come from as a producer/beat maker on this album. In the early days of N.W.A you can see it had a lot of fun dmc, east coast influence with just more funk in it. Then on the last NWA album “Niggaz4Life” it had a lot of reggae and funk in it with instruments and barley any samples. Then The Chronic had all of it in 1 one with the G Funk and 70s Samples and with more singers on it like Jewell and Nate dogg. Then On doggystyle it was straight funk but then with hip hop influence in my opinion, the hooks, the chorus, and the way the songs are produced this really feels like a funk album with some hip hop influence. And in my opinion Who am I (what’s my name) is Dre’s best beat
This was the first debut album from a rapper that I was waiting months for like I could not wait for Snoop Dogg to drop his first album. In the whole world felt like that. This album went four times platinum very quickly. The only other debut album that I can put up there with hip-hop fans anticipating it’s release was 50 Cent’s Get Rich or Die Tryin
In 93 you couldn’t go anywhere without this cd / tape playing in the deck , streets , house party’s. It was so huge , I mean the chronic was still kind of new but just starting to quiet down . This was a banger track after track and reined supreme until eazy-e answered with the real mufugin Gz album , then that took its place , warren G got hella play too
Just wanna say man, you one of the best hip hop content makers. You actually care about the culture and you talk about albums that get swept under the rug. I love watching your documentaries when I need to kill a little time.
This isbthe album that Drink Champs need to compare with Illmatic. The anticipation on both was palpable and this was only matched by the fact that both albums delivered what we were all waiting for. You can still listen to both of them all the way through 30 years later and still be like that was an unreal debut.
I loved this album. I remember my dad bought it for me on a road trip we took from Virginia to Gary, Indiana in 1993. While playing it, which is crazy on a family road trip my mother at the time was sleep, but woke up during one of those songs took out that cassette tape and chucked it off the window. I was heartbroken, but I eventually purchased another. I’ll never forget that. 🐾
In my opinion this album is my main argument why hip hop is the reason why it became so fully mainstream and that even white people could start listen to rap publicly, The Chronic set off the tone from what was coming with it literally being on the the most played hip hop songs for 2 years straight and eventually being one of the best songs ever produced & created. Doggystyle hit the peak, the rollout, the production, the video clips literally anything about this album Got a good mix of being great not only in the rap game but also In music history
That would be Eminem imo, many ppl that are not even into the rap demographic are listening to rap when they listen to Eminem. Eminem filled that space. Gangsta Rap was charting mainly because of white teenagers buying the music but i think on a larger scale Eminem is what really pushed rap music a few decades in. - Tupac most iconic, Raps Elvis figure the first Rapper to do many milestones, eg one being the first rapper to have a double pressed cd go platinum. I think this was ever too not just for rap but over all music genres. - Eminem the one that really put the genre as a main stay genre globally, him and 50 cent together represent the black and white coming together. - NWA the poster children for Gangsta rap on the westcoast. - Ice T a real OG probably even more so than NWA. Comes from a time where there was no grassroot ventures and you had to be directly signed to Warner. Warner bros being the OG for entertainment its at the top of the umbrella. Ice T also got some footage with the classic WB logo in some of his works which i would say is rare no other rapper has that. Time Warner today is the music division of WB but we are talking like iconic logo loony tunes etc. The rest in their lanes for their own reasons.
What a time to be alive as a kid i remembering having the cd and the artwork and how snoop face on the cd havin a hole in his head awe man his best album to this day
I remember being about 7 or or 8 in 1995 and my big sister reading the comic to me!!! Cuzz worlds and all!! She was 16 y/o!!! Was my favorite cd back then!!!
Im from Portland. I was in 4th grade. It was a vibe. Snoop was on top if the world. We all rocked kakis with chucks back then. Fig flannels 😂. I had a little jerry curl too. Gangbanging was huge back then. Anything that Snoop touched was gold back then. He was tge face of the West Coast sound, style, lingo, etc. The weed leaf was a bold statement back then too because it was still illegal and not socially acceptable. Snoop was very open about smoking weed back then. To the point of where they slowly started showing it on tv, or at least implying it. It was a time.
When I first bought the Doggystyle album it had that G'z Up Hoez Down. It was stolen from the car, went to buy another one and it was still there, 2nd one, I believe someone stole it from me, someone I knew. Bought a 3rd Doggystyle album and G'z Up Hoez Down was gone!! And it was my favorite!!! I'm so happy I get to hear it now on Spotify.
Can u do a vid on Mr. 3-2 outta TX. Apparently he was apart of the original Deathrow roster and it's rumored Snoop Dogg got a LOT of his style and adlibs from him. Also was said that whenever Dre an Snoop came to Houston, they stayed w 3-2.
Great video 💯 This is an amazing album imo. It's dope that you mentioned the songs that were made in those sessions. My fav outta those has to be Smoke On, Every Single Day, Doggystyle (Intro) and Big Bitches. Happy that Gz Up, Hoez Down is finally on streaming but it sucks that the original 1993 version of Tha Next Episode has yet to be released officially but oh well Btw you should've mentioned that Snoop and Dre are apparently working on a new album together, a sequel to Doggystyle called Missionary. Talks about it were going around for a while but I think they officially announced it on a interview with Jimmy Fallon, if I'm not mistaken. Either way like I said, great vid!
I was a kid asking my uncle could I listen to his Snoop Tape , he say no I’d wait until he left and played the tape and then rewinded it back to where I left off before he got back 😂😂 One of the best albums of all time ‼️
I was too young to buy the album with explicit lyrics. So i stood outside kmart and asked customers to buy it for me lucky for me a stranger took my plea
That was very Informative Blessings Bruv I grew up on this Albulm Ai was Stationed at the Navy Ship Yard In Philly USS CONSTELLATION CV-64 when Doggy style came out
Wow, the irony, just bought a marbled vinyl version of this album for the collection, having already copped the CD when it came out back in the early 90s. In fact, I remember going to see the movie 'Deep Cover' just to see 'that' music video play out during the end credits 😅👊🏾
There is absolutely no way THAT was done in 48 hours. I think Dre would've never released it knowing how much of a perfectionist he is. If that was done in 48 hours the god damn Dre must be sitting on MULTIPLE classics. Because the Mixing and Beats on Doggy Style where like nothing else at the time. I wasn't alive (lol) but if you play Doggystyle and then Illmatic and Ready To Die. You see the difference in mixing and production almost instantly and those albums didn't release far between each other
That's according to Dre's right-hand man. His perspective definitely needed a mention. It's no secret that this album was indeed rushed as I provided evidence with Suge and the news articles I mentioned. The hype for it was real.
@@cloutcancun no, yeah I don’t doubt it was rushed. But 48 hours is crazy. Dre an actual genius if that’s true. Like bro is probably sitting on 50 Detox’s by this point.
@@Asteroidpine Definitely! If true that's insane this was mixed and mastered in 48 hours. I'm not very familiar with music production but I would imagine that'd be a daunting task. Any I actually made a video about Detox if you haven't seen it yet
Snoop is dead wrong about Aint No Fun... reason why is the only reason... Without their idea there's No song period.. Dre wasn't on that nor was he thinking about that. so yes they deserve credit period... Daz and G deserve more credit than they got for helping Snoop and Snoop know better than that.. i would had beef with him for that statement.. bc that's 1 of THE BEST songs on cd period.. no idea no song
Salute and great work. I enjoyed that piece and you did some good research on this album. I have some more interesting fun facts, info, and a few corrections to add on to this video. First of all, that's not George Clinton on the song "Doggystyle". That's actually bass player Tony "Money" Green aka T. Green. He's the one that connected George with Dr. Dre and Snoop. Once the connection happened, Dre produced the "G-Funk Intro" to replace "Doggystyle" and they also did the remix to "Let Me Ride". The song "Doggystyle" was originally going to open the album. That's Nancy Fletcher, Jewell (RIP), and T. Green Dre really did produced the album. Daz and Emanuel Deen (RIP) were some of the musical players including beat making that collaborated with Dre. They were not producers at that point. Dre put that together. He produced it. Snoop confirmed that several times over the years. Even Daz changed his tune regarding claims of not getting production credit for that album. Chris "The Glove" Taylor is another collaborator in making that album. The production for What's My Name (Who Am I) was created same time (possibly same session) for the production of what later became "Can't C Me" by 2Pac. That production was originally for Dre & Ice Cube's Helter Skelter (unreleased project). Hints the similarly in the beat pattern with "What's My Name" and "Can't C Me". That's Chris "The Glove" Taylor on "What's My Name" on Vocoder and that's Nancy Fletcher singing near the end of the song. The song "D.A.V.E" was later given to Bow Wow for possible usage on the Murder Was The Case soundtrack. It's possible that The D.O.C may be a co-writer on the unreleased "Tha Next Episode". I tried to get D.O.C to address it more but, he didn't confirm nor deny it. Yet, he let it be known that you can hear sprinkles of The D.O.C in some of Snoop's work at that time. (Also) Dre produced that song, not Warren G. Although that sample & loop came from Warren G (same thing goes for Gz & Hustlerz, I think that was from Dre's record collection), Dre flipped those ideas and produced those songs. Warren was one of a few at the time that bought vinyl records for Dr. Dre as well as others from his production team to use as samples for cuts (scratches/DJ), loops, etc. Hints why Warren was able to use the exact loop for his own song & his own production a year later (Runnin' With No Brake, 1994). The same thing with that sample for Gz & Hustlaz but, that loop was later used for Warren's production work for 2Pac. It was the 1994 MTV Video Music Awards when Snoop performed Murder Was The Case. The 1993 MTV VMAs saw Snoop appear as a presenter with Dr. Dre & George Clinton. Snoop was on the run for that murder (he was later acquitted) when he made that appearance. There's an interesting story behind that 93 VMA appearance.😎🫡
Oh yeah (if I'm not mistaken), that's Hen Dog (RIP) and Snoop's cousin Joe Cool on that skit/interlude to Murder Was The Case that Dre produced. Also, (if I'm not mistaken) Chris "The Glove" Taylor mixed some of those songs on the Doggystyle album including "Doggy Dogg World".
Wow... went back to re-listen to this album - and for some strange reason - IT SOUNDS SOO MUCH BETTER in 2024 than I remember it back when it first came out. Back then, this whole entire album was an anthem - but it just sounds soo MUCH BETTER! I guess it's because of the fresh insight - thanks to this UA-cam video. There's soo much that went over my head back then.. especially the SKITS (the one before LODI-DODI)
Great video, thanks for detailing it all. Would of liked to know a bit more about pump pump which is an underrated banger and bit more on whats my name being how much of a global hit and snoops most famous and popular song but all in all great vid!
It's always insane when people try to discredit Dr. Dre as a producer. When Dre left Ruthless Cold187 couldn't do what Dre did even tho he said Dre took credit for beats. When Dre Left Death Row, Daz, Warren G or any of those other dudes failed to do what Dre did despite both (Especially Daz) saying Dre took beats from them. Dre has carried his sound for all these years, and its crazy people will try to discredit that. Fun Fact: People say Metro Boomin only does the drums now adays too. Producers just ain't piano players lol
Doggystyle was cool, and It's HELLAAA LEGENDARY, but Murda Was The Case doesn't get the trophies It deserves. It was Snoop at his Rawest form!!!! He didn't hold back on delivery, lyricism, grittiness, message, or NONE of that!!!! and the production was sick!!!! This Is when Snoop was RUNNING Deathrow!!!! (No Irony Intended😊) this was pre-pot head Snoop. This was 40 drinking fresh out of jail snoop!!! MWTC Is definitely his most underrated work Imo. Next to Da Game Is to be sold......... NOT TOLD🤫
29:18 Tha Dogg Pound's not featured on the song because it's actually their song. On the track list of the Doggystyle album for that song it says Tha Dogg Pound featuring The Lady of Rage
@@udontknowme6764 I mean it's Tha Dogg Pound's song so they're not featured on it because it's their own song. Just look at what it says on the track list
My favorite song on that album will always be "Doggy's Dog World" & " Murder Was The Case"......"If You Get Me 10 Bytches I Eff All 10...See My homie Snoop Dogg Drinking Juice With Gin"..... 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
I bought a snoop Dogg t shirt and that album at the mall with my allowance the day it dropped and was teased about the shirt at school the following Monday because nerdy white kids weren't supposed to wear that type of shirt with a flannel and a nirvana patch on their backpacks apparently, but, whatever, it was totally worth it
There were some great Rap music made in the early 90's with dudes like Will Smith releasing some bangers back then, records like, 'Homebase' under the name of 'DJ Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince'. Man them dudes were really hip and cool back then. The real life 'Boyz in da Hood!'
I remember this album was the shit. Always played in peoples cars and at parties or gatherings. I was so young when it came out (12-13) but had friends with older brothers n sisters. Was already a big rap fan but this album made me become nothing but a rap fan.
What classic album should I cover next?

"For All My..." was a Dogg Pound track that got repurposed for Snoop's album, probably in need of material in the rush to meet the deadline.

This isbthe album that Drink Champs need to compare with Illmatic. The anticipation on both was palpable and this was only matched by the fact that both albums delivered what we were all waiting for. You can still listen to both of them all the way through 30 years later and still be like that was an unreal debut.
I loved this album. I remember my dad bought it for me on a road trip we took from Virginia to Gary, Indiana in 1993. While playing it, which is crazy on a family road trip my mother at the time was sleep, but woke up during one of those songs took out that cassette tape and chucked it off the window. I was heartbroken, but I eventually purchased another. I’ll never forget that. 🐾
1993 I was just starting to form complete sentences all I knew at the time was Snoop Dogg, and that was my favorite rapper
In my opinion this album is my main argument why hip hop is the reason why it became so fully mainstream and that even white people could start listen to rap publicly, The Chronic set off the tone from what was coming with it literally being on the the most played hip hop songs for 2 years straight and eventually being one of the best songs ever produced & created. Doggystyle hit the peak, the rollout, the production, the video clips literally anything about this album
Got a good mix of being great not only in the rap game but also
In music history
That would be Eminem imo, many ppl that are not even into the rap demographic are listening to rap when they listen to Eminem. Eminem filled that space.
Gangsta Rap was charting mainly because of white teenagers buying the music but i think on a larger scale Eminem is what really pushed rap music a few decades in.
- Tupac most iconic, Raps Elvis figure the first Rapper to do many milestones, eg one being the first rapper to have a double pressed cd go platinum. I think this was ever too not just for rap but over all music genres.
- Eminem the one that really put the genre as a main stay genre globally, him and 50 cent together represent the black and white coming together.
- NWA the poster children for Gangsta rap on the westcoast.
- Ice T a real OG probably even more so than NWA. Comes from a time where there was no grassroot ventures and you had to be directly signed to Warner. Warner bros being the OG for entertainment its at the top of the umbrella. Ice T also got some footage with the classic WB logo in some of his works which i would say is rare no other rapper has that. Time Warner today is the music division of WB but we are talking like iconic logo loony tunes etc.
The rest in their lanes for their own reasons.
I was 13 when this album came out. Classic album it is. Facts bro. Thanks I learned alot I didnt know
24:16 i been needing a properly mixed copy of this song for over 15 years.
Ain't no fun is such a master piece. One of the greatest party songs of the 90s.
What a time to be alive as a kid i remembering having the cd and the artwork and how snoop face on the cd havin a hole in his head awe man his best album to this day
Yo Clout u got some rare pics of Snoop in this vid i have never seen in my life. Thank u so much
most anticipated Album.....EVER!!!!!!
Loving the work you put into these videos and the history lessons. Thank you!
I remember being about 7 or or 8 in 1995 and my big sister reading the comic to me!!! Cuzz worlds and all!! She was 16 y/o!!! Was my favorite cd back then!!!
Mann keep this series going. We need more hip hop history organized
Great content bruh 💯
Im from Portland. I was in 4th grade. It was a vibe. Snoop was on top if the world. We all rocked kakis with chucks back then. Fig flannels 😂. I had a little jerry curl too. Gangbanging was huge back then. Anything that Snoop touched was gold back then. He was tge face of the West Coast sound, style, lingo, etc. The weed leaf was a bold statement back then too because it was still illegal and not socially acceptable. Snoop was very open about smoking weed back then. To the point of where they slowly started showing it on tv, or at least implying it. It was a time.
When I first bought the Doggystyle album it had that G'z Up Hoez Down. It was stolen from the car, went to buy another one and it was still there, 2nd one, I believe someone stole it from me, someone I knew. Bought a 3rd Doggystyle album and G'z Up Hoez Down was gone!! And it was my favorite!!! I'm so happy I get to hear it now on Spotify.
Can u do a vid on Mr. 3-2 outta TX. Apparently he was apart of the original Deathrow roster and it's rumored Snoop Dogg got a LOT of his style and adlibs from him. Also was said that whenever Dre an Snoop came to Houston, they stayed w 3-2.
I was 14 years old, this masterpiece changed my life 💯
Great video 💯 This is an amazing album imo. It's dope that you mentioned the songs that were made in those sessions. My fav outta those has to be Smoke On, Every Single Day, Doggystyle (Intro) and Big Bitches. Happy that Gz Up, Hoez Down is finally on streaming but it sucks that the original 1993 version of Tha Next Episode has yet to be released officially but oh well
Btw you should've mentioned that Snoop and Dre are apparently working on a new album together, a sequel to Doggystyle called Missionary. Talks about it were going around for a while but I think they officially announced it on a interview with Jimmy Fallon, if I'm not mistaken. Either way like I said, great vid!
I was a kid asking my uncle could I listen to his Snoop Tape , he say no
I’d wait until he left and played the tape and then rewinded it back to where I left off before he got back 😂😂 One of the best albums of all time ‼️
I had this in my tape deck for months on repeat lol....DEEEEZZ NUTZZZ!!!❤
Nirvana came out with their 3rd Album In Utero in September of 1993
I was too young to buy the album with explicit lyrics. So i stood outside kmart and asked customers to buy it for me lucky for me a stranger took my plea
You are truly a professional with your research and reporting
That was very Informative Blessings Bruv I grew up on this Albulm Ai was Stationed at the Navy Ship Yard In Philly USS CONSTELLATION CV-64 when Doggy style came out
Wow, the irony, just bought a marbled vinyl version of this album for the collection, having already copped the CD when it came out back in the early 90s. In fact, I remember going to see the movie 'Deep Cover' just to see 'that' music video play out during the end credits 😅👊🏾
Doggystyle is the first album I looked at the album cover and booklet. It was 3 years after the release but still.
Had to be there💯💯💯
I absolutely hated C. Delores Tucker as a kid. As an adult looking back on it all… she was right with what she was saying.
There is absolutely no way THAT was done in 48 hours. I think Dre would've never released it knowing how much of a perfectionist he is. If that was done in 48 hours the god damn Dre must be sitting on MULTIPLE classics. Because the Mixing and Beats on Doggy Style where like nothing else at the time. I wasn't alive (lol) but if you play Doggystyle and then Illmatic and Ready To Die. You see the difference in mixing and production almost instantly and those albums didn't release far between each other
That's according to Dre's right-hand man. His perspective definitely needed a mention. It's no secret that this album was indeed rushed as I provided evidence with Suge and the news articles I mentioned. The hype for it was real.
@@cloutcancun no, yeah I don’t doubt it was rushed. But 48 hours is crazy. Dre an actual genius if that’s true. Like bro is probably sitting on 50 Detox’s by this point.
@@Asteroidpine Definitely! If true that's insane this was mixed and mastered in 48 hours. I'm not very familiar with music production but I would imagine that'd be a daunting task. Any I actually made a video about Detox if you haven't seen it yet
That's such a great point. The clearest and most cinematic production of the time in hip hop. The funk was strong!
04:23 - Wow!! So Kurupt's first verse was actually him rappin' Snoops written verse?? Damn! And this was one of my favourite Kurupt verses ever.
Snoop is dead wrong about Aint No Fun... reason why is the only reason... Without their idea there's No song period.. Dre wasn't on that nor was he thinking about that. so yes they deserve credit period... Daz and G deserve more credit than they got for helping Snoop and Snoop know better than that.. i would had beef with him for that statement.. bc that's 1 of THE BEST songs on cd period.. no idea no song
FINALLY I'VE BEEN WATING FOR THIS!!
Shoulda mentioned about LiL Bow wow being the school kid before "Gz and Hustlaz" and also being in the Gin and Juice video. But over all, great video!
You think you can do a breakdown on the dogg father album?
Classic album
Salute and great work. I enjoyed that piece and you did some good research on this album. I have some more interesting fun facts, info, and a few corrections to add on to this video.
First of all, that's not George Clinton on the song "Doggystyle". That's actually bass player Tony "Money" Green aka T. Green. He's the one that connected George with Dr. Dre and Snoop. Once the connection happened, Dre produced the "G-Funk Intro" to replace "Doggystyle" and they also did the remix to "Let Me Ride". The song "Doggystyle" was originally going to open the album. That's Nancy Fletcher, Jewell (RIP), and T. Green
Dre really did produced the album. Daz and Emanuel Deen (RIP) were some of the musical players including beat making that collaborated with Dre. They were not producers at that point. Dre put that together. He produced it. Snoop confirmed that several times over the years. Even Daz changed his tune regarding claims of not getting production credit for that album. Chris "The Glove" Taylor is another collaborator in making that album.
The production for What's My Name (Who Am I) was created same time (possibly same session) for the production of what later became "Can't C Me" by 2Pac. That production was originally for Dre & Ice Cube's Helter Skelter (unreleased project). Hints the similarly in the beat pattern with "What's My Name" and "Can't C Me". That's Chris "The Glove" Taylor on "What's My Name" on Vocoder and that's Nancy Fletcher singing near the end of the song.
The song "D.A.V.E" was later given to Bow Wow for possible usage on the Murder Was The Case soundtrack.
It's possible that The D.O.C may be a co-writer on the unreleased "Tha Next Episode". I tried to get D.O.C to address it more but, he didn't confirm nor deny it. Yet, he let it be known that you can hear sprinkles of The D.O.C in some of Snoop's work at that time. (Also) Dre produced that song, not Warren G. Although that sample & loop came from Warren G (same thing goes for Gz & Hustlerz, I think that was from Dre's record collection), Dre flipped those ideas and produced those songs. Warren was one of a few at the time that bought vinyl records for Dr. Dre as well as others from his production team to use as samples for cuts (scratches/DJ), loops, etc. Hints why Warren was able to use the exact loop for his own song & his own production a year later (Runnin' With No Brake, 1994). The same thing with that sample for Gz & Hustlaz but, that loop was later used for Warren's production work for 2Pac.
It was the 1994 MTV Video Music Awards when Snoop performed Murder Was The Case. The 1993 MTV VMAs saw Snoop appear as a presenter with Dr. Dre & George Clinton. Snoop was on the run for that murder (he was later acquitted) when he made that appearance. There's an interesting story behind that 93 VMA appearance.😎🫡
My Favorite hip hop album it changed hip hop I was 12 in 7th grade
Oh yeah (if I'm not mistaken), that's Hen Dog (RIP) and Snoop's cousin Joe Cool on that skit/interlude to Murder Was The Case that Dre produced. Also, (if I'm not mistaken) Chris "The Glove" Taylor mixed some of those songs on the Doggystyle album including "Doggy Dogg World".
I got this album when it came out , i was 11 years old , my mom kept throwing it away but id always find a way to get another copy asap ...
Wow... went back to re-listen to this album - and for some strange reason - IT SOUNDS SOO MUCH BETTER in 2024 than I remember it back when it first came out.
Back then, this whole entire album was an anthem - but it just sounds soo MUCH BETTER! I guess it's because of the fresh insight - thanks to this UA-cam video. There's soo much that went over my head back then.. especially the SKITS (the one before LODI-DODI)
West coast for life I'm from watts l love
Gz Up Hoez Down will always be my fav track of all time ❤
Great video, thanks for detailing it all. Would of liked to know a bit more about pump pump which is an underrated banger and bit more on whats my name being how much of a global hit and snoops most famous and popular song but all in all great vid!
It's always insane when people try to discredit Dr. Dre as a producer. When Dre left Ruthless Cold187 couldn't do what Dre did even tho he said Dre took credit for beats. When Dre Left Death Row, Daz, Warren G or any of those other dudes failed to do what Dre did despite both (Especially Daz) saying Dre took beats from them. Dre has carried his sound for all these years, and its crazy people will try to discredit that. Fun Fact: People say Metro Boomin only does the drums now adays too. Producers just ain't piano players lol
Warren G didnt make beats for deathrow. And Eazy E was still selling platinum records with dre gone.
Doggystyle was cool, and It's HELLAAA LEGENDARY, but Murda Was The Case doesn't get the trophies It deserves. It was Snoop at his Rawest form!!!! He didn't hold back on delivery, lyricism, grittiness, message, or NONE of that!!!! and the production was sick!!!!
This Is when Snoop was RUNNING Deathrow!!!! (No Irony Intended😊) this was pre-pot head Snoop. This was 40 drinking fresh out of jail snoop!!! MWTC Is definitely his most underrated work Imo. Next to Da Game Is to be sold.........
NOT TOLD🤫
A lot of what you said is true
That falling asleep on death row was fire, classic dre
🔥🔥🔥 u out a lot of work into this vid and it diff shows 💯
Doggy dog world is my favorite song on the album
29:18 Tha Dogg Pound's not featured on the song because it's actually their song. On the track list of the Doggystyle album for that song it says Tha Dogg Pound featuring The Lady of Rage
Did you mean Snoop Dogg’s not on the song
@@udontknowme6764 I mean it's Tha Dogg Pound's song so they're not featured on it because it's their own song. Just look at what it says on the track list
My favorite song on that album will always be "Doggy's Dog World" & " Murder Was The Case"......"If You Get Me 10 Bytches I Eff All 10...See My homie Snoop Dogg Drinking Juice With Gin".....
😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
Dope Video, you do great Stuff. Thank you !
Historically, Deathrow had used the Serial Killer beat on a lot of free styles.
I bought a snoop Dogg t shirt and that album at the mall with my allowance the day it dropped and was teased about the shirt at school the following Monday because nerdy white kids weren't supposed to wear that type of shirt with a flannel and a nirvana patch on their backpacks apparently, but, whatever, it was totally worth it
Too much the say….
I will just say…that last song “Pump, Pump”…Malik verse was sumptin’ serious!
Damn, my childhood broke down.
There were some great Rap music made in the early 90's with dudes like Will Smith releasing some bangers back then, records like, 'Homebase' under the name of
'DJ Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince'. Man them dudes were really hip and cool back then.
The real life 'Boyz in da Hood!'
This is an excellent anthology
I remember this album was the shit. Always played in peoples cars and at parties or gatherings.
I was so young when it came out (12-13) but had friends with older brothers n sisters.
Was already a big rap fan but this album made me become nothing but a rap fan.
Interesting story behind Warren G's Runnin Wit No Breaks as Regulate was kind of 'the next episode' in g-funk.
Doggystyle has sold over 11 million copies, not 4 million. It's 4x platinum certified, but its actually sold a lot more since 1993-94
