Snoop Dogg's Doggystyle is a classic. As Kevin Powell notes in Michael Gonzales' XXL piece on the album's 20th anniversary today, when you listen the album you're privy to the incredible history of Black music. And as Kenrick Lamar notes in his review of the album, the album's wordplay is also something to be admired. Snoop was at the top of his game throughout the album.

In celebration of the record, XXL has gone ahead and selected some of the best lines from Doggystyle. Let's begin. --Compiled By Eric Diep And Dan Jackson

"G Funk Intro"

"This is just a small introduction to the G Funk Era/Everyday of my life I take a glimpse in the mirror/And I see motherfuckers tryin to be like me/Every since I put it down with the D-R-E"

"Gin and Juice"

"With so much drama in the L-B-C/It's kinda hard being Snoop D-O-double-G"
"80 degrees, when I tell that bitch please/Raise up off these N-U-T's, cause you gets none of these, at ease/As I mob with the Dogg Pound, feel the breeze"
Later on that day/My homey Dr. Dre came through with a gang of Tanqueray/And a fat ass J of some bubonic chronic that made me choke/Shit, this ain't no joke"
"Dre got some bitches from the city of Compton/To serve me; not with a cherry on top/Cause when I bust my nut I'm raising up off the cot/Don't get upset, girl, that's just how it goes/I don't love you hoes, I'm out the door!"

"Tha Shiznit"

"Poppin, stoppin, hoppin like a rabbit/When I take the Nina Ross ya know I gotta have it"
"You tried to see me, on the TV, youse a B.G/D-O-double-G, yes I'mma O.G"
"Cuz they know about the shit that we be goin through/And they know about the shit that I be puttin up/And they be knowin bout the shit I do when I'm on the mic/Cause Snoop Dogg is Trump tight like a virgin, the surgeon/Is Dr. Drizzay, so lizzay, and plizzay"

"Lodi Dodi"

"She said, "If I can't smoke none, she can't either!"/She grabbed me closely by my socks/So I broke the hell out, and I grabbed my sack of rocks/But um, they gave chase, they caught up quick/They started crying on my shoes and grabbin my dick"
