‘Gin and Juice’ Snoop Dogg (1994) “Gin and Juice” is the second single from Snoop Doggy Dogg’s debut studio album, Doggystyle, released on January 15, 1994, through Death Row and Interscope Records. Produced by Dr. Dre, the track is a quintessential G-Funk anthem that played a pivotal role in bringing West Coast hip-hop to global prominence during the early 1990s. The song is built on a smooth, laid-back instrumental that interpolates the melody from Slave’s 1980 funk hit “Watching You” for its iconic hook. Lyrically, the track describes an all-night house party in Long Beach, California, with Snoop rapping about “indo” (marijuana) and his preferred cocktail of Seagram’s or Tanqueray gin mixed with juice. Snoop later revealed that gin was the drink of choice for a “young playa” at the time because it was affordable, often brought to the studio in milk jugs by Dr. Dre. … #90smusic #snoopdogg #ginandjuice
