Both great, but "Doggystyle" edges it for me. Snoop's drawl was just born for Dre's G-Funk beats of the time.

A more tricky call is "Doggystyle" vs "The Chronic". The latter is more consistent tune-wise for me, but the former has Snoop throughout.

blatantly.
 
Strangely these 2 are the only hip hop albums I ever listened too I really loved them.
I picked Black Sunday as my favorite. Listening to it now makes me feel stoned.
 
Blimey, people took Cypress Hill seriously?

I'd never have heard their shit had I not left Brixton for hip and happening Aberystwyth. Doggstyle by a country mile on this one.

I like the Hill, but they do always seem like one of the token hip hop choices for Uni kids (I was one), along with Public Enemy, J5 and early Beasties. I suppose all of the above were entry points for me too, but whilst I still like them I've expanded.
 
Doggystyle is a brilliantly witty album, ace melodies, grooves and lyrics. Snoop is such a wicked MC too, he just drips with mischief and irony.

I never understand why this always beats "Fear Of A Black Planet" in best Public Enemy albums. Fear is better.

Even though this thread is between Snoop and Cypress Hill's albums released in 1993, one other album from that year pisses on both from a great height: Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers), no contest.
 
Pffft, overrated. Nice arms, though. ;)

As for PE, if you need to know which is the better record, ask yourself this... which did they choose to play on their recent Don't Look Back tour?

Innit. :cool:
 
Yes.

Way overrated. You spoilt it there.

Fear of a black planet is a masterpiece but its not a tongue in cheek album, like Doggystyle. Fear of a black planet for me is more of a political and serious album while Doggystyle is more like a cheeky rascal sending himself up. What they both have in common is brilliant grooves but thats it.
 
Just listening to Black Sunday now, I can judge it this way: It's like saying that Fatboy Slim's "You've Come A Long Way Baby" is the benchmark for the Electronica genre.

I mean, it's ok, but like Fatboy, it's kinda like student music. And every fucking song has that "screech" sound effect in every bar.
 
Thinking back to my teenage years, Cypress Hill got more tune space though Snoop Dog was up there too. Snoop is more for those pimptastic moments, not that i actually had any pimptastic moments when i was a teenager but could feel the dream at least :D

For hip hop now, Mos Def is my preference.
