Tha Doggfather

Tha Doggfather was Snoop Dogg's follow up to his debut album Doggy, released by Death Row Records in 1996, under the name "Snoop Doggy Dogg" (his alias at that time). The album features Tha Dogg Pound, Nate Dogg, and Warren G, amongst others. Although the album debuted at number one in the week of November 12, 1996 with over 478,971 copies sold, it failed to match the commercial success of Doggy. Still worth to note that it was released only one week after another Death Row release, the first posthumous album by slain Tupac, the The Don Killuminati: The 7 Day Theory, which also debuted at number one. Strangly, Tupac wasn't a part of the album. According to SoundScan, over two million copies have been sold[citation needed] with 800,000 copies in the UK alone by the end of 1996.
