Today, 28 years after Doggystyle was released on November 23, 1993, we celebrate the album as one of the greatest in hip hop history. And while “Gin N Juice” is undeniably the most iconic Doggystyle, “Who Am I (What’s My Name)?” was Snoop Dogg‘s official introduction, and kicked off a decades-long stretch of prolific collaborations with Dr. Dre. With the record’s iconic “Snoopy Doggy Dogg” chorus and a young Snoop spitting over early Dre production, “Who Am I (What’s My Name)?” unlocked the formula that made the Doggfather one of the most popular and storied rappers of all time.

Quotable Lyrics
It’s the bow to the wow, creepin and crawlin
Yiggy yes y’allin, Snoop Doggy Dogg in
The motherfuckin’ house like everyday
Droppin’ shit with my n***a Mr. Dr. Dre
