What's My Name? (Snoop Doggy Dogg song)

Calvin Cordozar Broadus Jr. (born October 20, 1971), known professionally as Snoop Dogg (sometimes shortened to Snoop and formerly called Snoop Doggy Dogg and Snoop Lion), is an American rapper, singer, songwriter, record producer and actor.
 His music career began in 1992 when he was discovered by Dr. Dre, and as a result he was featured on Dre's solo debut, "Deep Cover", and then on Dr. Dre's solo debut album, "The Chronic".
 He has since sold over 23 million albums in the United States and 35 million albums worldwide.
Doggystyle is the debut studio album by American rapper Snoop Doggy Dogg.
 It was released on November 23, 1993, by Death Row Records and Interscope Records.
 The album was recorded and produced following Snoop's appearances on Dr. Dre's debut solo album "The Chronic" (1992), to which Snoop contributed significantly.
 The West Coast style in hip-hop that he developed from Dre's first album continued on "Doggystyle".
 Critics have praised Snoop Doggy Dogg for the lyrical "realism" that he delivers on the album and for his distinctive vocal flow.
 Despite some mixed criticism of the album initially upon its release, "Doggystyle" earned recognition from many music critics as one of the most significant albums of the 1990s, as well as one of the most important hip-hop albums ever released.
 Much like "The Chronic", the distinctive sounds of "Doggystyle" helped introduce the hip-hop subgenre of g-funk to a mainstream audience, bringing forward West Coast hip hop as a dominant force in the early-1990s.
"Never Leave Me Alone" is a song by American hip hop and R&B recording artist Nate Dogg, featuring vocals from American West Coast hip hop recording artist Snoop Doggy Dogg.
 The song is the first single released from the studio album "G-Funk Classics, Vols.
 1 & 2" (1998), and contains an interpolation of the song "Where Is the Love" (1972), written by Ralph MacDonald and William Salter, and recorded by Roberta Flack and Donny Hathaway.
 The song produced by Kurupt and executive produced by Suge Knight.
Tha Doggfather is the second studio album by American rapper Snoop Doggy Dogg.
 It was released on November 12, 1996, by Death Row Records and Interscope Records.
 After the success of his debut album "Doggystyle" (1993), Snoop was charged with murder and in 1995, spent time preparing for the case that went to trial.
 In February 1996, he was cleared of all charges and began working on his second album without Dr. Dre providing work as a record producer.
 This was Snoop's final album on Death Row Records under his name of "Snoop Doggy Dogg".
 Recording sessions took place from February 1996 to October 1996, with Suge Knight filling in as the executive producer on the album, alongside the additional production from several record producers such as DJ Pooh, Daz Dillinger, Soopafly and L.T. Hutton; as well as guest appearances from Charlie Wilson, Kurupt tha Kingpin, Tray Dee and Warren G, among others.
"New York, New York" is a single from West Coast hip hop duo Tha Dogg Pound's first album, "Dogg Food".
 It features Kurupt rapping the verses, with Daz Dillinger with a few quick verses in the video and Snoop Doggy Dogg in the chorus.
 The song is intended to slight the credibility of the East Coast hip hop scene during the rivalry between the East and West.
Dogg Food is the debut studio album by the American hip hop group Tha Dogg Pound.
 Its controversial lyrics were the subject of shareholder protest.
 (The album was supposed to be released in July 1995.
 As a result of the controversy from Time Warner, the release was delayed for three months.)
 Two singles were released from the album, "Let's Play House" and "New York, New York", featuring Nate Dogg and Snoop Doggy Dogg, respectively.
"Doggy Dogg World" is the third and final single from Snoop Doggy Dogg's debut album "Doggystyle".
 It is the first European-only release with an American video TV-play.
 It features 1970s-era classic R&B and soul group The Dramatics, with guest rap verses from Kurupt and Daz Dillinger (Tha Dogg Pound), and R&B/hip-hop vocalist Nanci Fletcher.
 It samples Richard "Dimples" Fields' "If It Ain't One Thing, It's Another" from his 1982 album: "Mr. Look So Good".
 The song's title is a reference to a common eggcorn of the phrase "Dog-Eat-Dog World."
"Bitches Ain't Shit" is a song by American hip hop recording artist and record producer Dr. Dre, taken from his debut studio album "The Chronic" (1992).
 The song, produced by Dr. Dre himself, features guest appearances from fellow West Coast hip hop artists Jewell, Tha Dogg Pound and Snoop Doggy Dogg.
Funkadelic is an American band that was most prominent during the 1970s.
 The band and its sister act Parliament, both led by George Clinton, pioneered the funk music culture of that decade.
"Who Am I?
 (What's My Name?)"
 (commonly titled "What's My Name?")
 is the solo debut single by American hip hop recording artist Snoop Doggy Dogg.
 It was released on October 30, 1993 as the first single from his debut album, "Doggystyle", with the record labels Death Row Records, Interscope Records & Atlantic Records.
 The song, produced by Dr. Dre, features samples and interpolations from George Clinton's "Atomic Dog" in its chorus and throughout, and an interpolation from Parliament's "Give Up the Funk (Tear the Roof off the Sucker)" in its bridge.
 The song's intro contains a sample from The Counts' "Pack of Lies."
 A vocal sample ("the bomb") from Parliament's "P. Funk (Wants to Get Funked Up)" can be heard throughout.
 The bass line may be an interpretation of the one from Funkadelic's "(Not Just) Knee Deep".
 It was ranked number 456 on NME's 500 greatest songs of all time.
