It arrived in circumstances that were anything but routine: Dr. Dre — the architect of Snoop's debut \u003cem\u003eDoggystyle\u003c\/em\u003e — had departed Death Row earlier that year to found Aftermath Entertainment, leaving a production void that was filled largely by Snoop's first cousin \u003cstrong\u003eDaz Dillinger\u003c\/strong\u003e and the versatile \u003cstrong\u003eDJ Pooh\u003c\/strong\u003e. The album debuted at \u003cstrong\u003enumber one on the Billboard 200\u003c\/strong\u003e, selling 479,000 copies in its first week, and marked the last time Snoop would record under the \"Doggy Dogg\" moniker before shortening his name to Snoop Dogg.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRecording sessions ran from February to October 1996 — a turbulent period that included Snoop's acquittal on murder charges in February of that year and, in September, the fatal shooting of his close friend and labelmate \u003cstrong\u003eTupac Shakur\u003c\/strong\u003e. The emotional weight of that loss is felt throughout the album, and Tupac appears on the closing track \"Outro\" under his posthumous alias \u003cstrong\u003eMakaveli\u003c\/strong\u003e, one of the last recordings committed to vinyl before his death. The album also features contributions from \u003cstrong\u003eCharlie Wilson\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eWarren G\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eKurupt\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eTray Dee\u003c\/strong\u003e, and \u003cstrong\u003eNate Dogg\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMusically, \u003cem\u003eTha Doggfather\u003c\/em\u003e is a deliberate step away from the raw gangsta energy of \u003cem\u003eDoggystyle\u003c\/em\u003e — smoother, more introspective, and in places genuinely reflective. Snoop himself described it as a rebirth: a record about fatherhood, maturity and attempting to live more positively. Stand-out tracks include the cinematic title track \"Doggfather\", the funk-laced \"Snoop Bounce\" (interpolating Zapp \u0026amp; Roger's \"More Bounce to the Ounce\"), the melodic \"When I Grow Up\", and the groove-driven closer \"Traffic Jam\". The album samples a remarkable range of classic material, from Run-DMC and The Gap Band to Biz Markie and Doug E.
