Doggystyle is the debut album from American hip hop musician Snoop Doggy Dogg, released November 23, 1993 on Death Row Records. The album artwork depicts Snoop Dogg as an anthropomorphic dog that loosely resembles Snoopy from Peanuts, for which Snoop's stage name was derived from.
The album's title alludes to the Doggy style sex position and is a reference to the musician's name. The artwork represents the themes covered in the album and the style of implementation of those ideas. Some critics believe the artwork portrays a woman merely as a hole to be filled by the man, which they believe adheres to the narcissistic and sexist lyrical themes Snoop Dogg covers. In this interpretation, the cover art and lyrics convey what they refer to as the self-indulgent "gangsta" lifestyle, drugs, cars, sex, and money. The artwork uses several quotes from the 1982 George Clinton single "Atomic Dog". The quotes come from the dogs at the top of the brick wall on the album cover, which say, "Why must I feel like dat?", "Why must I chase da cat?" and "Nuttin' but da dogg in me".
