Snoop Doggy Dogg has no reason to take his mind off his money, or his money off his mind. Tha Doggfather was an offer that 479,000 first-week buyers couldn't refuse -- extremely impressive, if not nearly on par with the 803,000 his freshman album rang up in its debut week in 1993. With Makaveli slipping only to No. 2, No Doubt rising higher than ever to No. 3, Bush set to debut top 10 next week and Dr. Dre the week after that, it looks like it's gonna be an Interscope Xmas, all right.
