- In this new CZcams exclusive series, Bomani Jones looks back at the year of Hip Hop in 1994, which is considered by some to be one of the greatest years for rap music. Our series kicks off with Snoop Dogg's debut album Doggystyle which technically released at the end of 1993 but had so much impact the following year. Bomani explains why this record was so important for the culture of Hip Hop and why Snoop Dogg gained immense popularity following this album. Not only did this album break the record for fasting selling Hip Hop album of all time but it also helped catapult rap into the mainstream. From the iconic west coast production, to Snoop Dogg's unique lyrics, Doggystyle will go down as one of the best rap albums from that generation. #snoopdogg #doggystyle #westcoastrap #snoop

West Coast and the Southern rappers bonded over funk music
And snoop. Since he from the south and he feels like it
And Detroit/Chicago, too!
@@GeronFletcherSnoop isn’t from the south. His people were.
As 53 yrs. OG , I cosign.
Church!!!!
Snoop is the reason hockey jerseys became a thing in the culture. I know I wasn’t the only kid that saw those videos and asked for a Penguins jersey.
Buckshot shorty (Black Moon) was on that already on the east. The penguins jersey specifically in the Gotcha Open video. Probably a year before gin and Juice.
Great editing and analysis as always. This series is gonna be sick.
keep em coming Bo!!! i wouldve liked it longer, but i understand. Cant wait for southernplayalistic Id love a series on all the Outkast and prime Prince ones as well. Just giving suggestions.
One of the best album of all time front to back no skips also one of the top 5 debut albums ever
Damn the pic of Big and Nate Dogg … imagine Nate and Big on a song together … it would go diamond
Snoop had a South Carolina project kid rocking an Hartford Whalers jersey in a hole in the wall club in the summer 😂😂😂
Truth. I started my hockey jersey collection because of Snoop. Then I started watching hockey, so I could find out who the good players were. Got addicted to the game.
At the time, “Doggystyle” was the most anticipated rap album of all time…and it might still be.
I'm 1 million % convinced that the sales of this album were so high because ppls parents would take it and then we'd just order another thru Columbia House. I did it like 4 or 5 times myself.
The G-Funk was in full motion. Doggystyle was an impact in ‘93 & ‘94. Dr. Dre produced the hell out of that album on Snoop Dogg
so ill Bo is able to finally carve out an entire series dedicated to this
MORE OF THESE PLZZZ!!!!💯
Can't wait for the next one!
I’m just glad Snoop was able to get Gz up Hoes down added back on the album for the 30th anniversary edition.
Snoop was such a superstar. He had Rakims laid back delivery mixed with this cool confidence
I want more of these! Love this
The last verse of "Murda was the case" might be Snoop's best verse. If you ever been in any kind of lock up (allegedly) it paints the picture perfect, as well as just go hard
I always think of this record as the moment when Los Angeles ruled Hip-Hop, more so than when The Chronic came out. For me, Snoop was the earliest rapper I remember.
I copped it the very first day (CD Form) and still play it when I dust off the CD player💪🏿💯
Exactly CDs were new. Everyone got a CD player for Christmas. You needed the snoop Dogg cd to go with your player
Doggystyle is one of my top 5 albums of all time. Great episode!
94 was a dope year, Doggystyle, Enter the wu tang were dope albums from ‘93 that was still knocking that year then when Nas, Biggie, OutKast and Bone Thugs came through in their rookie year for ’94 with dope debuts that just solidified how magical 1994 was for hip hop
Classic Album
this gon be a fire series.
The Chronic and Doggstyle were still in heavy rotation 3/4 years after the release during my freshman year at UConn.
Same my freshman year (97-98)
Same (for Doggystyle, not Chronic) my little brother’s freshman year (16-17)
For me best track is The Shiznit! Sure I got the CD for What's My Name and Gin and Juice but The Shiznit was, well...The Shiznit! Low key hype!
Everything about Doggystyle banged. I was living in L.A on Brynhurst at the time. Those videos on the BOX What's My Name videos where he turned into a Doberman Pincher. Set all the West Coast standards. This is going to be an epic series.
Respect for this one Bo, dope, can't wait to check the whole series.
I love this series! Can't wait for the next one Bomani!
The first album I ever bought🙌🏿💯
Yessir. This was the year that Hip Hop really exploded it was never the same.
As much as you know about sports and don’t have regularly questionable opinions in the matter, your music takes and how you speak on it is always great.
I'm looking forward to this series. '94 was my first year, as a teen, where I was able to afford and but albums for myself. Doggystyle was def amongst those first purchases. "G'z & Hustlaz" is my fav song as well. That baseline by Dr. Dre is absolutely next level. Sonically, this album is still incredible as well. Doggystyle and The Chronic 2000 are still my go-to albums when testing out new sound systems for the crib and my ride. Undeniable 5 mic classic album.
Got goose bumps when speaking on the best song. Spit was unbelievable
I have to admit, it’s been a cool minute since I listened to this whole album but damn it was still hitting like 1994. No skips!!! Thanks Bo for reminding me how good that album is.
It’s arguably the best rap album of all time. Extremely cohesive while being sonically pleasing to the masses.
Illmatic is 100x better than DS.
@@Stifler4220 Lol truthfully speaking; I’m an odd hip hop fan. I was born in the early 80’s and have still never heard illmatic. Nas is in my top 5. Also, while I’m here, reasonable doubt has 2.5 good songs. Hov is in my top 5. 🤷🏾♂️ I don’t get the appeal of it but I trust it’s as amazing as illmatic. Haha I didn’t listen to doggystyle until 2003-4 and when I first heard chronic 2001 I sold it for $7 because I thought it was complete trash. Fast forward to my SOPHOMORE year in college when I then realized what a masterpiece it is.
@johnbolden3940
Huh?...so what's (some of) your favorite album/artist?
@@futureflavors205 Wayne, jay, Nas, em (typical, I know) in no particular order. I’ve enjoyed music so much that I think the reason I haven’t heard the aforementioned albums is because I’ve been catching up on what catches my ear at the time. I’m into Beethoven, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Rolling Stones, Gil Scott, parliament, so much 70’s and 60’s gems, gnr, Lenny, Leonard cohen, Aerosmith, tv on the radio, the e black keys, Florence and the machine…..There’s so much great music out there that I don’t trip if I haven’t heard them yet. I’ll get around to them. Nickel, black thought, Kendrick, Kanye, busta, these kids probably know nothing about missy elliot. Johnny freaking cash!!!! Prince and Mike ok I’m done. Nina Simone and Aretha.
Yeah Bo!!! I’m here for this!
This is lowkey better than the HBO show, and I don’t mean that disrespectfully brother, you just seem more natural and in your element here, hosting the HBO program you saw how new reading from a teleprompter was to you and it came off as a little bit forced but this is A1 ✊🏿✊🏿✊🏿
I use to say end 93-94 you could travel cross country with only two tapes Doggstyle and WU 36 Chanbers and would be good the whole ride
Fantastic thank you.
As much as people hold The Chronic as the definitive West Coast album of the time, Doggystyle is my personal choice. I don't care what coast you pledge your allegiance to, everybody had and loved this album.
Plus, if you have the original pressing which still had G's Up, Hoe's Down, you're a winner.
Dope. Need more.
Gz up ho’s down was only on the cassette, that was a dope track. That and the shiznit were my top tracks and on a great album top to bottom
Such an overall classic....
And it was the one album that my grandmother did not want in my house at the time.
I'm sure I wasn't the only one who listened on the sneak tip, though.
And Bo is right, Gz and Hustlaz might be the coldest opening to a hip hop song EVER.
I’ll never forget my next door neighbor got the album. I was not allowed to listen to secular music in my evangelical home. We listened to the album over and over, just a group of white suburban kids bobbing our heads not catching half of the lyrics but loving the vibe.
Rest in peace to Bernard Wright.
Gz and Hustlas. My man. 🫡 DEFINITELY my favorite Snoop song, period. Shout-out and RIP to Bernard Wright for that Haboglabotribin'.
3:09 My initial memory of it is from my sister... I was 9, she was 16 and we shared a room. So I saw his magazine covers were on the wall and I listened when she listened.
I was similarly 9 with a 17 yr old brother bangin it in his Cavalier around the southside of Houston
This was nice!
GOAT west coast album. Top 3 all time
I was probably too young to hear this record at the time but even then, I saw Snoop as the coolest dude in the block. You WANTED to party with him. You WANTED that classic Pens jersey. Very eager for other album memory lanes you'll take us down.
This was 🔥🔥
Love this....
1996 is the greatest year in hip hop history.......
While I agree, we need to stay on topic and give respect to 94.
I was in the 3grade... The artwork was crazy
Good review
I know that album word for word.
The day the album dropped my 14 year old cousin didn't have enough money to buy the tape. He got on the phone and called around until he found someone who had it then called our other potna on three way and convinced the first dude to put the phone next to his radio so they could listen to THE WHOLE TAPE. Dude put the phone down, pressed play and did stuff around the house, came back to flip the tape over when side one was finished and played the rest 😂😂😂
I was eight years old & the whole hood was playing it!! Every car!! Im in Missouri. Did you know, Gz up H03s down is only on 100k hard copies of cassette tapes & cds before it was removed?
First album I ever had to go to multiple stores to find because it sold out in the Sam Goody where I bought all my music.
Yooooo. Bo gettin SWOLE! Keep it goin big homie
More of this!!
8:46 Yes... "All 3 coasts"
everyone back then knew some real g's growing in Cali and he repped for those we all knew... big up this series gonna be dope
Gz’s and Hustlers intro was an Ohio Players sample if I’m not mistaken
We grandfathered "Ain't no fun if the homies can't have none" in
Today, still no skips. My wife knows that she is going to have to play "Ain't No Fun" at my funeral.
7:16 The child star was Shad Moss aka (Lil) Bow Wow
This series is tha shiznit. No, but for real, this is great. Shit, I'd watch Bo review his 1,000 fav albums for 30 mins a pop.
Great Job Bo
When I first heard the album I was thinking A: This shit is BUMPIN,, & B: New York is in trouble !! It was a Spellbounding tale of the Streets & Ghetto's from a Glorious time when u didn't have to be a killer to murder wax,,tracks & backs !! I Truly miss those dayz !!!!!!
8ball & MJG also
I wasn't old enough when either of these records came out, so I always like to ask old heads if this or a record that came out roughly a decade later was the most anticipated album in rap history: 50 Cent's Get Rich or Die Tryin.
6:12 That story Snoop shared about Dionne Warwick confronting him about misogyny!
tha shiznit is the best track hands down
The 1st “gangsta rapper” to become a pop star late 93-94 was a muthafucka cuz Midnight Marauders, Enter the 36 chambers, and Doggystyle all came out in November of 93 so it helped to usher in this classic time period
The Chronic lit the fuse and Doggystyle blew up the spot. NWA was the pioneers.
I’m waiting to Subscribe
Doggystyle was like the greatest shit since barbecue sauce 😆
Amazing album growing up…there’s no way I’ll ever let my children listen to it now though.
I think everbody in 94 made sure they had 20 dollars put up so they could by this CD when it dropped.
The Lagacy: Snoop’s high water mark.
My white ass dad brought home that album and the cartoon artistry (may not have been the most appropriate) drew me in, big reason i like hiphop today.
Hilfiger was straight ny ish... grand puba...
Doggystyle we had that in late summer early fall 93 if u had connects...
And ny loved snoop... and they east coast west stuff was fake news..
We blasted dre,onyx,wutang,snoop,cube, blackmoon,pharcyde, epmd all on the dame tape....
East west coast was for all yall outta towners and writers who wanted a story.
Facts... Doggystyle album was like crack in NYC. It was everywhere all the kids were bumping it
You’re voicing as a cat for the upcoming Garfield Movie, y’know. And I can’t wait to hear your voice.
AREED 💯💯💯Gz and hustlaz WAS the best track!
CDs were actually new.
Lil Ghetto Boy was my shit.
Grand Puba before Snoop with the Hilfiger
I stole this album. On cassette. In 8th grade.
The impact of Doggystyle can't be matched. Classic album. Dogg Food is better though
They greatest rap album of all time.
Very close to it! I can’t think of too many more that were better! Serial Killa is the one that hits the hardest to me!
The Shiznit was like the theme music of a 70s villain, only issue was shittalking Unc Luke.
I respect that opinion. It's definitely top 3
Snoop Doggy Dogg > Snoop Dogg
Doggystyle slaps right now.
Go put it on.
Snoop, it turns out, was never that “nice”, which is besides the point.
96 is best year in rap music
94 was great but nothing compares to 96
wake up in the mornin eat yo lucky charms cereal
Never thought about it before but ‘94 was an embarrassment of riches…#spolied
I’m sorry. I am a Double Subscription person
break down Southernplayalisic
I was disappointed when Doggystyle dropped. Hated the artwork. The lead single sucked. Maybe it was the anticipation and hype but it didn’t measure up to Deep Cover or The Chronic.
