Dillinger, like many of his peers, signed record deals with Death Row after being introduced to Dr. Dre by Warren G just as Dre began recording his seminal 1992 album, The Chronic. Dillinger contributed to The Chronic as well as his cousin Snoop Doggy Dogg's multi-platinum Doggystyle , Tupac Shakur's All Eyez on Me and the majority of the label's multi-platinum releases.
He released his first album Dogg Food with Kurupt as Tha Dogg Pound which went multi-platinum continuing Death Row's force as the most successful hiphop label. After Dr. Dre left the label, Daz became Death Row's main producer and was largely involved in Snoop's sophomore album Tha Doggfather and various compilations and soundtracks. After the death of Tupac Shakur, the departures of Snoop Dogg, Kurupt, Nate Dogg and the imprisonment of label CEO Suge Knight, Daz was the only major artist left on Death Row and mainly responsible for the work done in the label. In 1998 he released his solo-offering Retaliation, Revenge and Get Back for the first time using the more commercial-friendly artist name Daz Dillinger and even though the album reached gold status it was considered to be a commercial failure for the still high standards established by Death Row's previous releases.
Around 2000 Daz left the crumbling Death Row records and started his own imprint DPG Recordz. He released his second solo-album 2000's R.A.W. independently. Although the album didn't reach the success of his Death Row releases the album gained cult status in the underground West Coast rap scene. After that, Daz has kept on his business as CEO of his record label and has released several EP's and LP's with his name.
In 2002 Daz and his long time friend Kurupt parted ways because the latter rejoined Death Row and Daz's "arch-enemy" Suge Knight. Since that Daz and Kurupt have each released several dis records aimed at each other.
On April 13, 2005, Daz reunited with Kurupt through the peace meeting labelled "Protect the West", in which several other West Coast rap icons united to put aside their differences in hope of succeeding together.
Daz released an album on Jermaine Dupri's So So Def label titled 'So So Gangsta ' which's was released September 12, 2006

Daz Dillinger Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Now here's somethin' for the DJ's, keep it pumpin'
Real niggaz from the street, throw up your heat
Pass it around to that down bitch that you fuck with
Stuck with it, hoo-ra, Soopa's the hoopla
In your hoopty, fly Gucci apparell
If niggaz get you hot, get your flare on
He's a busta, nigga must of not seen the black pistol glocks
Fuckin' with the "blast-a-lot" kid
I'ma shoot, pass the rock - SWISH
Niggaz, throw up your fists like afro pick's
Up in this bitch, I'ma make you move
Grab my shit, layin' everything down
Stick up bitch, I hate ya, choose
I'm a real - Don, mackin' every way
I play, but then again I don't
I won't come up short, I'm tall
Look and then he ball
I'm Shag, I'll wax these fuckers and I'm back
C'mon, my squad thick like Redbones
What you doin' 'round here nigga?, I said gone
Get - the fuck out, back yo' ass up
Bitches - step up, back yo' ass up
The club rockin', I'm stalkin', chicken hawkin'
I pimp often, shit talk, grab my glock and I'm straight
Hot like fire - propane
The way I touch and rush, you must have crushed ya
Just a cold saying - "no game, no fame"
Niggaz mad, I flow dope like cocaine rivers
Fuck Santa Clause 'cause the hoe ain't in us
Label, check, pump, from pro's to beginner's
Dogghouse fuck your mouth
Half these niggaz can show most of these hoes what suckin's about
[Chorus]
P-O-U-N-D
Niggaz talk shit but ain't fuckin' with me
Soopa-fly, D-A-Z
Back in yo' ass, it's still D.P.G.
C-R-I-P now
2003, we are the Pound
And then we shot that big ass gun
Take yo' shit, now you best ta run
[Daz Dillinger]
You know what we do when we step on tour
Kick a hole in the speaker, kick shit off on tour
I'm a Dogg Pound Gangsta, all to the wanksta's
Bank ya, get you face to face
I ain't to intervene, me and my guillotine
Hang you by the string or the thorn, you've been warned
Get up and throw your hands up, stand up for the cause
No flaws, bangin' all y'all niggaz on the cross
Crucified, do or die
You and your homie, it's you and I
Watch out for this homicide
Bitch - I'll leave you in a ditch
You and your fuckin' posse nigga - you ain't shit
I'll come in quick, I'll sink your battleship
Shoot 'em up, do 'em up, and then we outey bitch
Can I rock the M-I-C?
Or the phone, I'm prone, I'm know to get it on, HO!
I'm theatrical, your bitch is mack-able
I'll snatch your hoe, you know I got to battle more
It's time to build up my momentum
To society I'm a menace, I'm out on a mission
Your hoes we deep fishin'
We dishin' out the terror and mayhem
Pistol whip you and your man
I can't stand no pussy, soft, bitch ass nigga
You hang with me, nigga your pullin' some triggers
On yo' ass for the ten figures
Blow your back out to your liver and make you quiver, nigga

The lyrics to Daz Dillinger's song Introduction 2 Meyhem featuring Soopafly are typical of gangsta rap music that contains aggressive lyrics with a focus on violence, drugs, and living close to the edge. Soopafly, in the opening verse, addresses the DJs, in particular, to keep the track pumping, and encourages real niggas to throw up their heat. The lyrics feature brash language with boasts that one is a "real Don," "macking every way," "tall," with the ability to "make you move." He is confident in his abilities, stating that he won't come up short, and is willing to fight and war against anyone who poses a threat to him.
Daz Dillinger, in the second verse, continues with the same braggadocious tone, stating that he is a Dogg Pound Gangsta, and his mission is to "bangin' all y'all niggaz on the cross." Daz is keen to highlight that he is not to be trifled with, prepared to inflict inhumane acts such as pistol whipping his targets and leaving them in a ditch. The chorus mainly repeats the message of the introductory lines, emphasizing the desire to dominate in the music scene with a group of artists that stand the test of time.

Now here's somethin' for the DJ's, keep it pumpin'
Here is a song for the DJs to play and keep the energy high

Share your drugs with the woman you have sex with
Stuck with it, hoo-ra, Soopa's the hoopla
Enjoy the music and the excitement, I am the hype man
In your hoopty, fly Gucci apparell
Wearing expensive Gucci clothes while driving a cheap car
If niggaz get you hot, get your flare on
If someone makes you angry, show them your gun
He's a busta, nigga must of not seen the black pistol glocks
He is a coward, he has never seen a real gun
You's a Columbian shuttle astronaut
You are reaching for the stars, but you will never make it
Fuckin' with the "blast-a-lot" kid
Messing with me, who shoots a lot
I'ma shoot, pass the rock - SWISH
I will shoot my gun and pass the drugs - smoothly

Men, raise your fists like Afro combs
Up in this bitch, I'ma make you move

I despise you, but now you have to decide whether to cooperate or not

Why are you here? I told you to leave
Get - the fuck out, back yo' ass up
Leave immediately, and do it quickly
Bitches - step up, back yo' ass up
Women, come forward and then retreat
The club rockin', I'm stalkin', chicken hawkin'

I am a pimp, and I talk trash, but if needed, I will grab my gun and use it
Hot like fire - propane
I am incredibly hot and dangerous like propane gas
The way I touch and rush, you must have crushed ya

Kick a hole in the speaker, kick shit off on tour
We intentionally damage the amplifiers on stage and start the show with a lot of energy
I'm a Dogg Pound Gangsta, all to the wanksta's
I am a true gangster, unlike the fake ones
Bank ya, get you face to face
I will rob you and confront you directly

I will not hesitate to cut off heads with my metaphorical guillotine
Hang you by the string or the thorn, you've been warned
I will hang you by any means necessary, and I have warned you
Get up and throw your hands up, stand up for the cause
Stand up and raise your hands for our gang's mission
No flaws, bangin' all y'all niggaz on the cross
I execute everyone without any mistakes, just like nailing people to the cross
Crucified, do or die
You will either succeed or die, just like being crucified
You and your homie, it's you and I
It's just you and me and your friend against us
Watch out for this homicide
Be careful, because someone might get killed
Bitch - I'll leave you in a ditch
I will kill you and leave your body in a hole in the ground
You and your fuckin' posse nigga - you ain't shit
You and your gang are worthless
I'll come in quick, I'll sink your battleship
I will attack you fast and destroy you completely
Shoot 'em up, do 'em up, and then we outey bitch
Shoot them, take care of them, and then we will leave quickly
Can I rock the M-I-C?
Can I perform on the microphone?
Or the phone, I'm prone, I'm know to get it on, HO!
I can also perform and act obsessively with a phone
I'm theatrical, your bitch is mack-able
I am an excellent performer, and your woman is easily seduced
I'll snatch your hoe, you know I got to battle more
I will take your woman, and then I will continue to compete and fight
It's time to build up my momentum
I need to gain more power and influence
To society I'm a menace, I'm out on a mission
Society sees me as a threat, and I am accomplishing my goals
Your hoes we deep fishin'
Your women are easily accessible and always available
We dishin' out the terror and mayhem
We are spreading fear and chaos
Pistol whip you and your man
We will hit you with our guns and attack both you and your partner
I can't stand no pussy, soft, bitch ass nigga
I have no patience for weak and cowardly men
You hang with me, nigga your pullin' some triggers
If you hang out with me, you will be using your gun frequently
On yo' ass for the ten figures
I will pursue you and make you pay for whatever money you owe me
Blow your back out to your liver and make you quiver, nigga
I will shoot you and damage your back and your liver, making you tremble in fear
