Snoop Dogg - Doggystyle (iTunes Version)

This album is better than "The Chronic." There is no doubt about it. While "The Chronic" was without a doubt a hip-hop classic and a landmark album in g-funk (which Dre basically invented), "Doggystyle" is the result of both Dre refining his sound and Snoop refining his rhyme. It's a beautiful thing... This album is filled with laid-back grooves ("Lodi Dodi") and out-and-out party anthems ("What's My Name?," "Ain't No Fun") alongside horror-filled urban narratives ("Murder Was the Case," "Serial Killa"). It's the perfect balance of gangsta, playa and pimp all rolled into a fat blunt for all to smoke on. Sure, it was graphic... sure, it was violent... sure, it probably offended the majority of people who listened to it... but it sure was fun, wasn't it? Get this album... if you're a real hip-hop head, this deserves to be in your collection.
