Doggy Dogg World

"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). 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."
