"Doggy Dogg World" is the third single from Snoop Doggy Dogg's debut album Doggystyle. It is the first European-only release with an American video TV-play. It features '70s funk band The Dramatics, with guest rap verses from Kurupt and Daz Dillinger (Tha Dogg Pound), and chorus singing by background vocalist Nancy Fletcher. It samples Richard "Dimples" Fields's "If It Ain't One Thing, It's Another" from his 1982 album Mr. Look So Good. The title of the song presumably is a play on the phrase "[It's a] dog eat dog world."

Video

This retro style video takes us back to the world of seventies. It presents Snoop as a pimpish owner of an old fashioned music club where a Dramatics live concert and party is going on. The video is also 5:38 long, but with the ending vocals and Kurupt's verse shortened in order to insert a minute long intro with director Ricky Harris in the role of "the host for the night" meeting Snoop and his women entourage in the V.I.P. section, while silhouettes of dancing girls can be seen in the background and Parliament's "Give Up the Funk (Tear the Roof off the Sucker)" can be heard as an incidental music (from their 1976 album Mothership Connection). The video is a 1994 winner of an MTV Video Music Award for Best Rap Video. It was released as a segment of the video compilation VHS called Murder Was The Case in the same year. It has a numerous cameo casting :
