FUSE TV - Snoop Dogg's "Doggystyle" Show By the Numbers

The whole "Rappers perform their defining albums" set that has made its way around festivals these past few years is part nostalgia, part shell game. The promise of a classic album is more suggested guideline than requirement, with artists flitting between older material and less appreciated new tracks and disgruntled fans bemoaning the absence of certain songs.

So you were allowed to be skeptical when hearing that Snoop Dogg would perform 1993's Doggystyle in its entirety at New York's Catalpa Festival Sunday night. But short of a few songs, the rapper delivered virtually all of his groundbreaking album, the first debut album to hit No. 1 on the Billboard 200 its first week (plus a few tracks from Dr. Dre's The Chronic and 2001). We've got galleries of both the festival and classic Snoop, but let's get to Doggystyle with our by-the-numbers breakdown:
