Snoop Dogg's Doggystyle is a mixed hardcore pornography and hip-hop music video featuring the music of rapper Snoop Dogg, presented by the rapper himself. It was released in 2001. It was the first hardcore video ever listed on the Billboard music video sales chart.[1] Because of its huge success, it started a trend where rappers are put into the mainstream of the porn industry by hosting X-rated films.[2][3] Many films of the genre followed, starring Necro, Mystikal, Too Short,[4]Ice-T and Yukmouth.[5] It also allowed Hustler to expand its boundaries by launching new subsidiaries for their recently formed fashion line and CD label. The scenes were shot at Snoop Dogg's house in Claremont, California. Snoop Dogg himself however, does not appear nude or perform any explicit acts.[5]
