It's new, it's fresh, and it smells like green. Hustler Video has taken a step in the right direction when it comes to melding porn and mainstream. The result is Doggystyle. Yes, the plugs for Snoop Dogg's phone sex line and new sportswear company are out of place, and there is room for improvement in the sexual heat department, but this new series is totally marketable. Doggystyle captures and successfully blends hottie-filled hardcore with a hip-hop houseparty, and Snoop Dogg plays high host. It seems more like an MTV video than a standard wall-to-waller, because the production value is top of the line, and the editing makes the transitions smoother than India's luscious cinnamon skin. Most importantly, the emphasis seems to be on the music, some of which is previously unreleased, and that, more so than the sexual pairings, is the primary draw for this tape. Pre-nom for best music and best editing - video.

While Obsession and Mark Anthony would've generated more poolside steam if Anthony's boxer shorts had actually been removed, Mr. Marcus' scene with Jade Marcella and Kaire is absolutely notable. Marcela practically drips with pleasure during her anal, and Marcus' cumshot is worth several rewinds. Be careful, Mr. M: You could put someone's eye out with that kind of pressure behind your load.
