The Impact of Doggystyle on Hip Hop

[Whips-n-Chains]

I actually managed to get the OG copy when it was first released in 93 with g's up hoes down on it like 13 years ago. To me, that version was mastered differently and you can tell the difference from the remaster version. The OG actually is superior

I rarely fukk with remastered joints. How it came out originally is how I grew up hearing it and that's how I prefer it.

That remastered ready to die is a fukking joke

Old heads (no disrespect), what was the feeling like when this dropped or hearing it for the first time?

Lyricism is lightyears ahead

I was a kid, ~7-8 when this dropped and even at that age I remember the hype surrounding snoop & doggystyle back from the older kids around my way. I remember us all packing in someone's crib to catch the Whats my Name video to see the dog morphing.

GRODT hype was the only thing that comes close but of course we all remember that with more clarity.

To celebrate the 30th anniversary of Snoop Dogg's multi- platinum Doggystyle, heralded as one of the most important albums of all time, Death Row Records will be bringing this back to retail with the original 1993 track listing on vinyl. This new 30th Anniversary edition will include the track "Gz Up, Hoes Down" which has not been on the album since its pressing in 1993. For new and old fans alike, this is the definitive version of the classic album that launched Snoop's solo career and helped define the sound of Los Angeles in the process.

Drops: 11/24/2023. I put in a pre-order 10 days ago.

Doggystyle seems to get forgotten amongst hip hops best. But it’s absolutely up there

Best album of all time. Aged incredibly.

Got the cassette with Gz Up, Hoes Down still The 30th anniversary vinyl gonna have it on there again, well worth to pick, not overpriced at all

Any version without that track don't count to me.

Snoop was in a ZONE at that time

People naming all these random rappers that sold a lot....

They did that when rap was mainstream.

Snoop made rap mainstream.

That's the difference. Dude was on the cover of Newsweek the week "Doggystyle" came out.

Not The Source, Vibe, or Rolling Stone....Newsweek. In 1993.

If I gotta explain the difference, you probably weren't alive or old enough to remember when the album came out. Respectfully.

Fred.

This.

And he did it with a looming murder case.

Every outkast album sans Idlewild is better than doggystyle

It's a good album but yall are overrating it a bit

the irony.

Lyricism is lightyears ahead

its one thing to say its better, but lightyears is over doing it.


practice what you preach and stop "overrating it a bit "

If rapping about dikks and balls is top tier lyricism to you, to each his own

A lot more variety on an outkast album

More maturity as well. Even on the first lp
