Suge Knight Claims Dr. Dre Didn't Produce Snoop Dogg's "Doggystyle"

Suge Knight says that Dr. Dre wasn't responsible for Snoop Dogg's groundbreaking album, Doggystyle. Instead, he claims that Daz Dillinger was the mastermind behind the production on the project. The former Death Row Records CEO discussed the making of the album during a recent interview with TMZ published on Saturday.




"What's so great about Daz is, this guy, I went to and said, 'We gotta finish the album,'" Suge told the publication. "He did the whole - he did everything on Doggystyle. By himself. The whole album was done. He did everything. He produced it."

From there, he explained why he feels Dr. Dre was the one who ended up getting the credit. "So when it was time to come out, the streets said, well, they want Andre [Dr. Dre] to be on it. And Andre said, 'I want to be on there.' So Andre went to Daz and said, 'Look man, let me say it was produced by me, and put my name on it. You'll get paid, but let me be the one who produced it," he said. "So I told Daz, 'That's something he wanted to do. I don't recommend it, because you're the one who produced it, and you're giving up your publishing.' So, Daz signed paperwork, and said it was produced by Dre."




Doggystyle ended up being released in November 1993. In its first week, it moved more than 800,000 copies and debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200. In the decades since its release, it's been regarded as one of the most significant albums of the 1990s. The RIAA has since certified it 4× Platinum, selling over 11 million copies worldwide.
