The year is 1993. The West Coast Rap movement has taken over America. Dr. Dre’s “The Chronic,” released in 1992, featuring Snoop Dogg (then known as Snoop Doggy Dogg) and now, the key rapper has blown up. All across America, people are still blasting the album that blends George Clinton’s P-funk sound with rap beats and thug lyrics.

Meanwhile, Dre and Snoop are back in the studio already, trying to make the next great album. This time it will bring Snoop, the rapper who practically carried “The Chronic,” into the limelight. “Doggystyle” was born.

“Doggystyle” is a classic album because it surpasses Dr. Dre’s “The Chronic” in every single way possible. The beats are better, the rhymes are better, even the skits are funnier. Granted, “The Chronic” has a more serious tone with songs about revenge and jealousy, while “Doggystyle,” for the most part, is a party record.

But every word Snoop spits out on the track helps the feel of the groove come out more. These are songs you can dance to, even the serious ones like “Murder Was the Case” and “Serial Killer.” Snoop’s skills as a MC revolve around the groove of the track the same way John Bonham’s (the drummer of Led Zeppelin) beats did, it’s a natural feel.
