West The Shoulders of Giants Coast / History LBC Crew, is the first group ever to be executively produced by Snoop Dogg, finally 15 years later, their album has finally been released. Haven t You Heard, has been digitally remasterd and features Tha Dogg Pound, Threat, Soopafly and more. One of the most powerful and successful rappers in the world, Dr. Dre s The Chronic is real genius. By breeding hip-hop, jazz, funk, and soul, Dre creates downright intoxicating grooves. A masterpiece of style. Simultaneously serving as both endless fodder for intellectual debates and the album most likely to be blaring out of the adjacent car's window, All Eyez on Me is a phenomenon that packs a wallop with every listen, and set the bar very high for years to come. Produced by the infamous Dr. Dre with assistance from Mr. Suge Knight, Doggy Style was the first solo outing by Calvin Broadus a.k.a. Snoop Doggy Dogg. By incorporating a straight gangsta vibe into the deep funk grooves Snoop and Dre dogmatically invented the G-Funk aesthetic.
