SNOOP DOGG STUDIO ALBUMS
Doggystyle
Released November 23, 1993
Doggystyle is the debut studio album by American rapper Snoop Dogg, then known as Snoop Doggy Dogg. Released on November 23, 1993, by Death Row Records and Interscope Records, the album was recorded at several studios, including Death Row Studios and The Village Recorder in Los Angeles. Produced by Dr. Dre, it featured contributions from Daz Dillinger, Kurupt, Nate Dogg, and others. Dr. Dre’s production on the album is considered as innovative for its time, melding the laid-back, funky grooves of 1970s West Coast funk with the harder-edged beats of G-funk, which was on the ascent in the early ’90s.
The album begins with an overture of sorts in “Bathtub,” which sets the stage for the sonic journey. Snoop Dogg’s lyrical prowess comes to the fore on tracks like “Gin and Juice” and “Tha Shiznit.” His smooth, laid-back flow, often contrasted with the aggressive beats and funk-drenched basslines, became a defining characteristic of the album. The album’s most iconic track, “Who Am I? (What’s My Name?)”, was an anthem that further solidified Snoop Dogg’s persona in the annals of hip-hop.
Musically, Doggystyle is an exhibition of the G-funk sound with its deep grooves, synthesizers, and samples from the likes of George Clinton, Curtis Mayfield, and James Brown. Lyrically, it reflects the lifestyle and culture of gangster life in Southern California, yet there’s an infusion of humor throughout the album that gives it a unique character. The contributions from featured artists like Lady of Rage, Warren G, and RBX added depth and variety to the record.
Critically, Doggystyle was met with acclaim, quickly becoming famous for Snoop Dogg’s lyrical realism and Dr. Dre’s production finesse. It played a significant role in introducing the G-funk sound to a mainstream audience. Upon its release, the album debuted at number one on the Billboard 200 chart, selling over 800,000 copies in its first week.

Released November 12, 1996
Tha Doggfather is the second studio album by American rapper Snoop Dogg, released on November 12, 1996, by Death Row Records and Interscope Records. Coming on the heels of his critically acclaimed debut Doggystyle, and following the tumultuous departure of Dr. Dre from Death Row Records, Tha Doggfather had Snoop working with a variety of producers, including Daz Dillinger, DJ Pooh, and several others who sought to replicate the G-funk style that Dr. Dre had pioneered.
Recorded at various studios, including Can-Am Studios in Tarzana, California, the album’s production marked a departure from the dense, funk-laden beats of Doggystyle, offering a smoother, more polished sound that still retained the West Coast sensibilities. The absence of Dr. Dre’s direct influence was noticeable, yet Snoop Dogg attempted to maintain the high standard set by his debut. The album featured appearances by Charlie Wilson, Kurupt, Warren G, and Nate Dogg, among others, which helped to round out the sound and bring continuity to the project.
The lyrical content of Tha Doggfather showed some maturation of Snoop Dogg’s persona. While it still delved into the gangsta lifestyle, there were elements that suggested a reflection on the consequences of such a life. Tracks like “Snoop’s Upside Ya Head” and “Doggfather” provided catchy hooks and showed Snoop’s adaptability to different production styles. Despite the changes, the album still featured Snoop’s smooth, laid-back delivery, though the playful lyricism of his debut was somewhat subdued.
Upon its release, Tha Doggfather received a mixed reception from critics who compared it to Snoop’s debut; however, it was a commercial success. It debuted at number one on the Billboard 200, selling 479,000 copies in its first week, and received a double platinum certification from the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). This album signaled a transitional phase in Snoop Dogg’s career as well as in the sound of West Coast hip-hop.
