Snoop Dogg’s landmark debut album, Doggystyle, was released 20 years ago today (November 23). To celebrate the milestone, the Long Beach rapper, going as DJ Snoopadelic, has released Doggystyle: The Samples, a mixtape that features the original recordings sampled by Dr. Dre to make Doggystyle.
Snoop Dogg provides commentary throughout the 54-minute mixtape, explaining how the Doggystyle songs came together, including the music, chorus and concept for “Gin And Juice,” among others.
“To give ya’ll a treat, we’re gonna give you some of the samples that we sampled to make the record, so you can hear where we got a lot of that music from, the original music that inspired Doggystyle, produced by Dr. Dre,” Snoop Dogg says in a video teasing the release of the mixtape.
The video also shows Snoop Dogg placing 45s on turntables and working in the studio.
Daz, who rapped and worked on some of the music on Doggystyle, also provides commentary in the video, explaining the origins of “W Balls,” among other things.
Kendrick Lamar and Nipsey Hussle are among those who have praised Doggystyle. “I’m definitely influenced by that album,” Lamar said in a recent interview. “The structure. The cohesiveness. The skits. The flow. The melodies Snoop kicked. The raw raps. There wouldn’t be a Kendrick Lamar without Doggystyle. [What stood out about the album] was its sound. Albums that last that long have their own sound. It was nothing duplicated, that’s why it stood out. It was that G-Funk.”

Talk about lazy & shiftless. But then again, that’s all you people are good for is doing absolutely nothing for a whole lot less.
G funk beats are made off these songs
You know, you know, i used to fuck with Snoop back in the days but now… This idiot did country songs with Willy Nelson, reggaea songs, pop songs with katy Perry and house songs with david guetta.
Snoop fell of bigtime!
snoop is the most passive pussy nigga on earth. he was puking
when pac sonned him.
If your not from our state… Snoop actually drives around by himself in a low rider. If you drive around long enough you will seem him around most hoods in So Cal. I dont know of any other famous person who goes around with that much respect.
Don’t get Pimp slapped!!!
Kizman, ive seen you post that exact same post but with Suge Knight and also The Game
before I looked at the draft which was of $8968, I be certain that…my… friend woz like they say realie receiving money parttime on their apple laptop.. there sisters neighbour started doing this for under 22 months and a short time ago paid the morgage on there home and bought themselves a Citron DS. look at more info… http://www.Fb39.com
Taylor didnt say any of what youre writing about..stick to the facts and stop writing these untrues. Your articles are trash to benefit yourself at the expense of your subjects. SHAME ON YOU!
Rather get the behind the scenes of this from the dude that actually PRODUCED IT… not like he’s busy finishing DETOX!!!!
i was just about to come on here with a rant about detox and i see someone got a comment in for me. We fuckin need Detox dont get why this nigga cant just release all the material he obviously has already gotten for all we know that whole album could easily be all done but he aint releasin it.
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: Snoop is like an author with writer’s block. That nigga can spit. We see it here. He’s a real nigga. But he just got too commercial and scripted. Then again, I’m 31 so I remember when stupid ass white christians bought his records out and steam-rolled them. Saw it on the news. Then this nigga came out like nothing we had ever seen before. He got old, corny and predictable. I still love him and appreciate what he did, though.
people are gay
this is extremely dope… you don’t think so you must be under young or retarded. And if you hate snoop you got something wrong with you…nobody kept it more G than him.
This really shows how much they totally bit off these samples…I mean it is what it is…but I think one of the greatest records of all time isn’t as creative as you once thought.
Yet it’s still the one of the best ever made…sowatchusayin?

Negros didn’t invent hip hop: it was the white man. Mel Gibson is the true inventor of this art form. One day while walking down the street, Mr Gibson was cornered in an alley and jumped by a gang of burly black man. One of those men was known as Africa Bambatta. He stole some poetry that he was writing for an English literature class along with a demo tape. He planned on reciting poetry to the beat of fast paced drums, but sadly, that tape was destroyed and now his dream and discovery(along with the truth) will never see fruition. Now, thanks to the laziness & shiftlessness of the black man, rap music is being used as a severe copout to escape their life in the ghetto instead of working hard, going to college, and earning a degree.
just before I saw the bank draft that said $6811, I have faith that…my… neighbour was realie bringing in money parttime at there computar.. there dads buddy has done this for only twenty three months and by now paid for the debts on their house and bought a top of the range Lancia Straton. why not find out more… http://www.Fb39.com
