The album was recorded soon following the release of Dr. Dre\u2019s landmark debut album The Chronic (1992), to which Snoop Dogg contributed significantly. The style he developed for Dre\u2019s album was continued on Doggystyle. Critics have praised Snoop Dogg for the lyrical \u201crealism\u201d he delivers on the album and for his distinctive vocal flow. Despite some mixed criticism of the album initially upon its release, Doggystyle has earned recognition from many music critics as one of the most significant albums of the 1990s, as well as one of the most important hip hop albums ever released. Much like The Chronic, the distinctive sounds of Doggystyle helped introduce the hip hop style of G-funk to a mainstream audience, bringing forward West Coast hip hop as a dominant force in the early 1990s. As of 2008, the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) has certified Doggystyle quadruple platinum<\/a> in sales, and it serves as Snoop Dogg\u2019s highest-selling album. Doggystyle debuted at number one on the Billboard 200 chart, and sold 802, 858 copies in its first week alone, which was the record for a debuting artist and the fastest-selling hip hop album ever until Eminem\u2019s The Marshall Mathers LP in 2000. Doggystyle is included in The Source magazine\u2019s list of the 100 Best Rap Albums, as well as Rolling Stone magazine\u2019s list of Essential Recordings of the 90s.
