Doggystyle

Rolling Stone (5/13/99, p.73) - Included in Rolling Stone's "Essential Recordings of the 90's."
Rolling Stone (1/27/94, p.51) - 4 Stars - Excellent - "...DOGGYSTYLE is filled with verbal and vocal feats that meet its three-mile-high expectations....DOGGYSTYLE speeds through 55 minutes of constant talk as if on a suicide hot line...."
Musician (2/94, p.69) - "...[DOGGYSTYLE] succeeds on its own terms ...[Snoop's] the gangsta Marvin Gaye of Dr. Dre's Motown. It's the clever interplay of `hard' and `soft' which keeps some of these tracks alive; sweet harmonies blossom in the middle of brutal rhythm tracks...a funky, multifaceted album...."
Vibe (2/94, p.103) - "...Snoop is good, no doubt about it. His cool, lazy drawl is unique, evocative, rhythmically complex--the perfect foil for Dre's thick, tense beats...The big story on THE CHRONIC was Snoop stealing Dre's thunder; on DOGGYSTYLE, Dre snatches it back...."
The Source (2/94, p.67) - "...[Snoop] emerges as an MC who lives up to all of his advance hype...."
Q Magazine (2/94, p.95) - 3 Stars - Good - "...when this funky/sleazy trick works, it is the very best that modern pop has to offer..."
New Musical Express (12/4/93, p.26) - "...Masterminded by Dr. Dre's faultless production, DOGGYSTYLE is both a wonderfully comic splurge of Parliament funking and barely suppressed violence..."
Melody Maker (12/11/93, p.28) - "...The music is sumptuous, soulful and genuinely menacing....Snoop Dogg is the real McCoy...."
Entertainment Weekly (12/10/93, pp.74-75) - "...[DOGGYSTYLE] is the most limber, low-rider gangsta album to date...it's easy to be impressed one moment and appalled the next..." - Rating: B-
