I have a feeling "For My Niggaz and My Bitches" is going to get massively underrated here.

That's one of my favorite songs off of Doggystyle. That looping piano bit over that drumbeat is infectious. not to mention Kurupt kills it on that song. it's probably my favorite track of the second half.

Also "Serial Killa" deserves love for the RBX verse...

not pic-a-nic baskets

PIC-A-NIC CASKETS!

Now everybody scream nuff respect to the X, nuff respect given/Disrespect and you will not be livin/Word to mama, Emma, drama/dilemma ....!!!!

Nate Dogg's verse on Ain't No Fun is just so audacious....I mean it's been made to look tame by things like the Whisper song since but damn is this fun to sing at church conventions

Well it's that slow flow, D-O-double-G, nigga
See these other fools but you can't see me, nigga
Who am I? [It's Kurupt muthafucker!]
Do or die [We gives a fuck, muthafucker]

So slow your roll, I'm In Control like Janet
The loc-est twenty-one year old nigga that's on this planet
Take it for granted, if ya wanna, cuz I'm gonna
grab my strap then clear the corner

just got this on VINYL....now I own this on three different types of media.

God, I remember listening to this shit when it was just coming out. I'm having a flashback now to that era.

I never got into the Chronic - this is the album that really seemed like the game-changer to me

I love The Chronic but this album has a special place in my heart as being the first 'naughty' rap I ever got into in my life. my mom wouldn't even let me buy this in middle school!

I remember not knowing what indo was either

The nadir, though, is reached early on side two, with 'Ain't No Fun (If the Homies Can't Have None)'. Presumably the 213 associates - the track reunites Snoop with his former bandmates, Warren and Nate - felt this was a harmless lark, a bit of a laugh, nothing to be taken too seriously. And certainly the preamble to the track suggests that nothing it will contain is going to rise above the level of schoolyard juvenilia of the least appealing kind. But it's not your imagination that hears malevolence in the way the trio, and fellow-traveller Kurrupt, stick rigidly to a script that follows the title's concept. In between simultaneously deriding any women stupid enough to actually agree to have sex with them while telling any who do that they don't respect them for precisely that reason, they return relentlessly to the notion that merely having sex with one of them isn't any use at all - the women in question will only prove themselves to be of any prolonged entertainment value (clearly, their only purpose in life) if they are happy to be passed around between all four.

and today, as we have seen, hardly anybody talks about lyrics in pop songs at all.

Some brilliant concern trolling in that article

You Won't Believe The Misogyny This Writer Discovered In A Famous Rap Album

So anyone heard the Dam Funk collab? Liking the art work.

http://cdn.lifeandtimes.com/uploads/2013/12/7daysoffunk-fulllength.jpg

artwork might be better than the actual music, based on what i heard (though to be fair, i wasnt paying 100% attention). its a bit better, just cos funk is something snoop at least knows, but it seems to be to funk what snoop lion was to reggae.

naw from what I heard, it sounded like snoop totally in his element

got discussed on the Dam- thread

Omg at that art. Totally forgot about that dude until I stumbled on one of his old issues in my bookshelf the other day. "Goredancing" was involved

it's better than snoop lion

"Systematic" is great

ok i need to hear it now

"That was the Dogg Pound here right on W Balls
187.4 on your FM dial
You're tuned in to the biggest balls of them all: DJ Saul T. Nuts
Aye, don't forget about my homeboy Eazy Dick and the Jackoff Hour
That's happening at twelve o'clock tonight
Right now we got some new Snoop Doggy Dogg for that ass
This one is called "Tha Shiznit"
You're about to go downtown bitch
Right here on the station that plays only platinum hits
That's 187.4 on your FM dial
If you're licking, that's W Balls"

Album still knocks front to back.

gz and hustlas needs more love

fuck yes. that piano, man

Can we get a moment of silence
For this small chronic break

Album still knocks front to back.

That's one of my fav Kurupt couplets ever.

I did Ain't No Fun at karaoke once. It...uh....got mixed reaction

RBX's verse on "Serial Killa" is a highlight as well.

You without me is like...

Harold Melvin without the Blue Notes

i reach for pump pump and the shiznit the most nowadays. the shiznit beat just glows all warm like.

daz verse on serial killa is one of my favs.

always found it funny that lady of rage has the first verse on snoops debut album.

"ain't no fun" is a perfect creation but my favorite beat here is "gz and hustlas"

yeah, "gz and hustlas" has always been my favorite song on the album

tha shiznit is perfect too, quintessential creep music

I would have voted for tha shiznit if it didn't have that dumb intro

the w balls intro is classsssssic!

if it didn't have the radio jingle it would be fine

everybody's got to hear the shit
ON WBALLZ
WBALLZ
WBALLZ

camaraderie, do you not like that part of 'flash light' that it cribs from?

didn't know that was where it was from.
still not a fan

taken off the album after first pressings because of the uncleared isaac hayes sample.

It’s just so unbelievable that WBLZ wouldn’t be dealing with nonstop FCC complaints regarding The Jack-Off Hour with DJ Eazy-Dick, ruins the realistic tone of the album.

"suspend disbelief"

also lol @ this album having a realistic tone in the first place

this album always reminds me of the year that a 13-year-old middle school kid moved into our suburban neighborhood and was accepted into my gang of three 12-year-olds. it was just him and his dad, and his dad let us turn half of his garage into a fairly decent adolescent hangout base, complete with a weight set and a punching bag for us to not so much use as sit on/near, lots of his dad's LA Raiders stuff and back issues of Playboy, and CD boombox that played a lot of Doggystyle, The Chronic, and Stone Temple Pilots' Core while we played HORSE on his driveway basketball hoop.

also, big Snoop Dogg showed up on my Hulu the other night trying to sell me a six-pack of Corona and I realized I had missed them both.

cool, well, that happened I'm sure

xxpost lol when my best friend and I saw George Clinton back in March, when they got to "everybody's got a little light under the sun", we were totally singing the WBALZ theme

always found it funny that lady of rage has the first verse on snoops debut album.

kinda like the time Bleek opened a Jay-Z album.

Rage has some of the best verses on that shit. I even liked her one Death Row album, but man did she get short shrift by that label imploding.

xxxp I do not actually think Doggystyle is a realistic album

wait, Snoop didn't actually go upstairs with that big booty bitch and get his balls licked up and down?

...devastated....

well i mean, he does seem like a fairly charming guy. . . so perhaps i'm wrong.

so, this raises a fascinating question: what if the world becomes chaos and things fall apart and future generations discover a copy of doggystyle and think it's an actual radio broadcast?

deej otm about bernard wright, and the same album that brought us "haboglabotribin'" also brought us "spinnin'," which skee-lo sampled for "i wish"

Close your eyes 'cause you can't see me
I quit school 'cause of recess you fuckin B.G.

the death row catalogue, including this alltimer, appears to have made it back to streaming today!

Ain't No Fun isn't my favorite song on this album, but it's definitely the best paean to gang rape I've ever heard.

stop

FPed

even the interludes are good on this album

Snoop brought The Lady of Rage on tour w him and she did "G Funk Intro" and "Afro Puffs". So dope
