1993 was a magical year. It included two of the most influential pieces of art on the life of this young elf, Doggystyle, and Death Ring. It's amazing to think that Snoop was only 19 while making this classic on the heels of his watershed appearance in "Nuthin But a G Thing." There are really no definite weak spots in the album. And how many rap albums can you say that about? Usually, you're looking at two or three quality track, and the rest is complete filler. Obviously, there are the hits, but the album also includes quality songs that never got radio play. This includes "That Shiznit." Doggystyle is the very essence of what West Coast rap was all about in its day.
