Today's album of the day is Doggystyle by Snoop Doggy Dogg, released on this date in 1993
The artwork was done by the late artist Darryl "Joe Cool" Daniel, Snoop Dogg's cousin, who died in July 2024. The artwork represents the themes covered in the album and the style of implementation of those ideas. 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"
