Twenty years ago, Snoop Dogg taught us all about 'Gin and Juice' by releasing his debut album, 'Doggystyle.' Today considered one of the greatest rap albums of the '90s, 'Doggystyle' was first met with mixed reviews. That mattered not, though, because the album quickly solidified itself among the pantheon of hip-hop greatness.
Then known as Snoopy Doggy Dogg, the rapper had already developed a following thanks to his contributions to Dr. Dre's 1992 classic 'The Chronic.' Upon its debut, 'Doggystyle' made him a household name that would never be forgotten. 'I don't believe I've ever listened to the whole album and I'm being honest with you,' Snoop Dogg told MTV News on Friday. 'I ain't never listen to 'Doggystyle' top to bottom. I may have listened to songs, but I've never listened to it.'
We've certainly listened, Snoop -- time and time again. Here's a look back at the album, released Nov. 23, 1993.
Here's Snoop performing 'Murder was the Case' at the 1994 VMAs. The song become the basis for a 16-minute film directed by Dr. Dre and Fab Five Freddy that depicted the rapper's fictional death. Watch Snoop Lion stop by HuffPost Live to discuss his documentary, 'Reincarnated.' Oh, and see him smoke a blunt on-air, too.Related on HuffPost:
