1. "Doggystyle. It perfected the Chronic's sound " In response to Reply # 0
Chronic had better content and lyrics, and East Coasters and older folks tend to enjoy the songs toward the end of Chronic that I saw as complete filler.

Doggystyle. It was great to me back in the day but I don't think I've actually listened to/heard it in close to 15 years. I play The Chronic constantly though.

22. "Definitely extreme sarcasm. A few people have said Doggystyle" In response to Reply # 21
had too much misogyny, and I don't get it...Chronic was just as playful and had the same amount to me. It's really the fact that "Ain't no fun" was on there, which stands out so much more than Deez Nutz and Bitches ain't shit.

24. "Chronic had way more jail type of talk than Doggystyle though" In response to Reply # 23
Dre Day as well, all the "this ain't gay cause it's jail talk" type shit makes it just as juvenile to me, or at least very close.
Chronic may have a bit more balance with "Let me ride" and especially "Little Ghetto Boy" but I still don't think it's really a huge difference. People act like Chronic was more like Low End Theory, while Doggystyle was a Luke record.
31. "And what's funny is that MOST women sing the hell out of those songs" In response to Reply # 22
women love "Ain't no fun." It's a few *feminist* here and there who dont' like the song but don't like the album in general but overall, if you ask women their fav song on that album and that one is one of the top songs.

35. "Man. I mean, I am in and from L.A, which makes a huge difference" In response to Reply # 34
but even the most Christian of Christians, most educated, most positive folks, all sing and rap Nate and Kurupt's verses in harmony whenever it comes on at a party. It may be the only "vile, hateful" song in history that gets an overall pass.
47. "I never saw it as vile and hateful and really, " In response to Reply # 34
the only people I hear speak of it that negatively are men (Surprisingly). even the few women I do hear complain are like "it's just trifling." but vile and hateful? those are some harsh words? misogynistic? Probably but most women I know who like that song are "i ain't a hoe or bitch, so they not talking about me."
idk, but when Kurupt comes on, everyone gets live.

15. "Doggystyle. easily." In response to Reply # 0
that was one of the first rap tapes i actually owned. dubbed of course, but it was all mine. that and 2 Live Crew - Back at Your Ass For The 9-4.
and everyone calling it juvenile...Lodi Dodi, Who Am I?, Doggy Dogg World, those all hold up pretty well to me. --------------------------------------- it's true what they say...people are strange, when you're strangers.
16. "I prefer Snoop's hunger on The Chronic" In response to Reply # 0
In contrast to the laidback pimp that emerged on Doggystyle. Production was cleaner on Doggystyle but again the roughness of the drum loops on Chronic style has aged better.
Both albums definitely shaped my "rap ear". But Chronic had no predecessor.
17. "It's Doggystyle for me" In response to Reply # 0
Kurupt put a hurting on that damn album. Also I think Gin N Juice is better than every song on the Chronic but that's just me. It's pretty much a perfect song. The hard songs on Doggystyle go way harder than the Chronic joints. Pump Pump and For All My... just go so damn hard man. SMH

28. "chronic because everything was on point" In response to Reply # 0
though Snoop was the center piece of it all and i can't ever recall a newbie MC coming out of the gate not only bringing the hype but also surpassing it.
Snoop was that dude from 92-94 and Dr Dre had the keys for the ears.

38. "I've always been east coast biased. But Doggystyle was that hot shit" In response to Reply # 0
I didn't get The Chronic when it first came out (but I did bang the hell out of Lyrical Gangbang and still do) but copped Doggystyle the first day out and kept it in rotation. The middle of side 2 started to drag to my east coast ears, but G'z Up, Hoe's Down is still one of the greatest songs I ever heard (and was pissed when I had to replace my copy and that song was missing)
As of late I've come around on The Chronic and do think it's an incredible album, but still will take Calvin over Andre

gz up, always wondered why it wasn't longer.
**************** TBH the fact that you're even a mod here fits squarely within Jag's narrative of OK-sanctioned aggression, bullying, and toxicity. *shrug*
Have a listen Who said this doesn't age well or is "juvenile"? Calvin was 19 (a juvenile gangbanger) when he made this album I hope we weren't expecting Thoreau or Dickinson
45. "Youthful doesn't have to mean juvenile " In response to Reply # 43
He was 21-22 when Doggystyle was recorded. Compare that to Nas making Illmatic at 19-20, De La being 17-20 on Three Feet High, Kast bring 18-19 on Southernplayalistic, and on and on and on.
46. "RE: Youthful doesn't have to mean juvenile " In response to Reply # 45
Kast are my dudes for life but let's keep it real, they had Hootie Hoo on their debut and Snoop lived a different lifestyle than De La and Nas. Your environment plays a role in your life until you decide to mature and move on. It took a while for Snoop. We gotta remember that Snoop was bred directly from NWA. The kings of over the top misogyny.
