From Tapes to CDs: Exploring the Extended Edition of Doggy Style in 2005

It’s 1994. My dad buys a music cassette tape player. We start listening to music in the house for the first time. My cousins from Germany bring me my first rap album. It is a cassette tape recording of Doggy Style by Snoop Doggy Dogg.

From day one I loved it. It is the only thing I listen to constantly. In a month, I can rap along to all the songs.

It’s 2005, and I am listening to a CD version of Doggy Style with a friend. I am rapping to everything except there are 2 extra songs I had never heard before. These songs were cut short on my cassette tape recording.

It seems there was not enough space on the Cassette recordings to record everything.
