11. Snoop Dogg, Doggystyle
Did you know that Snoop Dogg’s Doggystyle album cover was drawn by his cousin, Darryl “Joe Cool” Daniel? The primary colored-sleeve had sexually explicit images that transformed the Fritz the Cat type of cartooning into a canine visual delight. Draped across the top, you can see quotes from George Clinton’s “Atomic Dog.” Over the red brick wall, to the right on Snoop’s name in graffiti, there are three dogs: a bulldog saying, “Why must I feel like dat?” a honey tree evil eye saying, “Why must I chase da cat?” and a brown Great Dane saying, “Nuttin’ but da dogg in me!!!”
Smacked dab in the middle of the cover saying, “Beware of Dogg ” on the outside of a doghouse, with a fictionalized Snoop as a dog reaching for a bare-booty of a female poodle. It was really the perfect intro into the Doggfather’s world.
