O.G.C. debuted on Smif-N-Wessun's 1995 album Dah Shinin', appearing on the tracks "Sound Bwoy Bureill" and "Cession At Da Doghillee". Later in 1995, they teamed up with Heltah Skeltah to form The Fab 5, and released the single "Leflaur Leflah Eshkoshka", which became a Billboard Hot 100 hit, peaking at #75 on the chart. In October 1996, they released their debut album Da Storm, which went on to sell 250,000 in the United States. Two music videos were released from the album, "No Fear", and a dual video for "Hurricane Starang" and "Danjer" titled "Hurricane Danjer". Though the album didn't receive as much attention or as many sales as the other Boot Camp releases, Da Storm received good reviews, and is seen by some as an underground classic. The three released a group album with the Clik in 1997, titled For the People. The album received mediocre reviews, and the Clik's popularity began to decline. O.G.C. released their sophomore album, The M-Pire Shrikez Back, in 1999. The album received strong reviews, but sold little numbers, and the single "Bounce to the Ounce" wasn't able to make an impact. The trio was missing from the scene until 2002, when the Boot Camp returned with their second group album The Chosen Few. The three temporarily retired as a group, but continued work with the Boot Camp Clik, and were featured on the Camp's third group album, The Last Stand in 2006. In a 2006 interview, Duck Down Records CEO Dru-Ha mentioned the possibility of another O.G.C. album, rumored for release in 2007.

O.G.C. Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
So you find, that you will get hit one time
With the shotty, cause we know that anybody is a body
So fuck around when Top D-O-G's in the zone
You be slippin' into darkness with the chrome to ya dome
Soldier boy, don't be takin' Boot Camp for no toy
Be the first one in the hole when po-po starts to roll
On ya posse, cause we know ya posse's punani
Cuz if tomorrow never comes, y'all be the only ones leaving
In a pine box, cause I'mma straight shots
And I won't stop, til all them body drop
To shots to a brain, punk trynna maintain in pain
But it's insane how you was raised in this game
Streets is hectic, you should of been on ya best bitch
I don't feel sorry that we had to wet shit
But sound of a tre, pound is fired
It must be tension, niggas wanna elevate
But not when nigga listens, he's on his own
Trapped in a zone, thinkin' it's fun
Forever stuck, project people runnin' to the Gunn
To see the one, who ass has just got done
Now tell a story, who fought back
But then clapped a dead homey, end of story
Feel and oldy took ya forty, Sluggah
From the Ville is gettin' naughty and real blessed
Many men get mingled, many get mashed
But how many times must we get up in that ass
Ruthless, whose this, coming through ya speakers
Everything is wreck, I'm on the set like boricua's
Original, criminals, style subliminal
Gettin' rid of you, fake emcee's, I put that ass
In critical, condition, where niggas be hopin'
And wishing, Strang' ain't comin' up ya block
With Glock ammunitions, like lord have mercy
Starang don't hurt me, Heltah Skeltah melt ya
Ass like Hershey's, my mack clips make niggas do backflips
Them tactics need practice, make you act as if this shit
That I be kickin' ain't for real, pack more steel
Then four wheels at the dog hill
Commercial rap get the gun clap
Sayin' we ain't dope, when I saw ya punk ass scopin'
You was on my dick til Buckshot 'got ya opin'
Too hot to handle, no I can't stand y'all
Punk ass niggas get blown out like Orlando
(Crept in cruel, but Steele got swept in fool)
It's a shame, Mr. Starang, hang ya like a picture frame
Booyakah, fuck who you are, didn't get ya name
Niggas couldn't hang, if we sufficent ease the pain
And brains blow, so I say fuck this
Let my nigga Rock bring the Ruck-us
Niggas talk shit, then they leaving here in crutches
I, cock, back, relax and swing
Ringin' ears, is what the Sluggah from the Ville be
Upon them weak crews, them can't do me nothing
Them can't do me nothing
Dare cross this path, gassed up and making something
Huffin', bluffin', punk in my path
Voice raise glass, and I don't think that you can ask routes
Stand me, I bambi, ass of a wack cat, with my back half black
So whose a dandy, he, L-O-U-I-E Ville Sluggah
Coming for ya, so muthafuckas run for cover
This is another, warrior sound that goes around
And go' around, like them punks from underground
Catchin' beatdowns, they not hard to the core
They don't really want no war, when them rays hit the floor
Now this is for me, this is what I gotta do
To let them niggas know, that ain't no fear in this man here
But of course we know anybody die
But be sure to rely, OGC will multiply and do or die
The first verse of O.G.C.'s song "Gunn Clapp" sets the tone for the entire song. The lyrics describe the group's mentality towards the life of crime: "I figured that my mental is kinda into the life of crimes." They warn their enemies that any person is a target because "anybody is a body." They also mention their readiness to use guns and the fact that they won't stop until all their enemies have been taken out.
The second verse is focused on a specific incident where someone tried to maintain their position within the game but instead got taken out. The lyrics describe how the streets are dangerous and how someone should have been more careful. The group then takes responsibility for killing their target and doesn't feel any empathy towards them. The verse also includes a line about how many times they need to take someone out before they learn their lesson.
The third and fourth verses continue with the theme of violence and the group's readiness to use guns. They describe the consequences of getting in their way and how they won't hesitate to eliminate their enemies. The final line of the song is a warning to anyone who tries to take them on: "OGC will multiply and do or die."
Line by Line Meaning
I figured that my mental is kinda into the life of crimes
I believe that my mind is attracted to a life of criminal activities
So you find, that you will get hit one time
If you mess with us, you'll get shot once
With the shotty, cause we know that anybody is a body
We'll use a shotgun because anyone can be killed
So fuck around when Top D-O-G's in the zone
Don't mess with us when our leader is present
You be slippin' into darkness with the chrome to ya dome
You'll die if you're caught off guard with a gun to your head
Soldier boy, don't be takin' Boot Camp for no toy
Don't underestimate our gang or treat it like a joke
Be the first one in the hole when po-po starts to roll
Hide from the police when they come around
On ya posse, cause we know ya posse's punani
We're not afraid to attack your crew because they're weak
And forever dreaming, time for y'all to stop schemin'
Stop dreaming about doing things and start actually doing them
Cuz if tomorrow never comes, y'all be the only ones leaving
If we die tomorrow, you'll be the only ones getting away with it
In a pine box, cause I'mma straight shots
You'll end up in a coffin because I shoot accurately
And I won't stop, til all them body drop
I'll keep shooting until everyone is dead
To shots to a brain, punk trynna maintain in pain
I'll shoot you in the head and you'll suffer until you die
But it's insane how you was raised in this game
It's crazy how you were brought up to live this way
Streets is hectic, you should of been on ya best bitch
The streets are dangerous, you should have been more cautious
I don't feel sorry that we had to wet shit
I have no remorse for killing someone
But sound of a tre, pound is fired
The sound of a gun being fired is heard
It must be tension, niggas wanna elevate
There is tension and people want to escalate the situation
But not when nigga listens, he's on his own
People don't listen and do what they want on their own
Trapped in a zone, thinkin' it's fun
Stuck in a dangerous situation but thinking it's enjoyable
Forever stuck, project people runnin' to the Gunn
People from the projects seek protection from our gang
To see the one, who ass has just got done
They come to see the person who was just killed
Now tell a story, who fought back
Explain the story of someone who fought back against us
But then clapped a dead homey, end of story
But then we killed their friend and that's the end of the story
Feel and oldy took ya forty, Sluggah
I hit you with an old gun and took your 40-ounce drink
From the Ville is gettin' naughty and real blessed
Our gang from Brownsville is being bad and blessed with safety
Many men get mingled, many get mashed
Many people get hurt and killed
But how many times must we get up in that ass
How many times do we have to fight against people
Ruthless, whose this, coming through ya speakers
Here comes another aggressive rap song
Everything is wreck, I'm on the set like boricua's
Everything is chaos and I'm part of the group causing it
Original, criminals, style subliminal
We're original criminals with subliminal messages in our music
Gettin' rid of you, fake emcee's, I put that ass
I'll get rid of fake rappers by attacking them
In critical, condition, where niggas be hopin'
They'll end up in critical condition and people will be happy
And wishing, Strang' ain't comin' up ya block
They hope we don't show up in their neighborhood
With Glock ammunitions, like lord have mercy
Armed with Glock guns and asking for God's mercy
Starang don't hurt me, Heltah Skeltah melt ya
Don't hurt me, but we'll hurt you with our violent music
Ass like Hershey's, my mack clips make niggas do backflips
Our guns make people flip backwards like acrobats
Them tactics need practice, make you act as if this shit
Our strategy needs practice to make it seem real
That I be kickin' ain't for real, pack more steel
What we're rapping about is actually real and we have more weapons
Then four wheels at the dog hill
We have more guns than cars in the dangerous neighborhood
Commercial rap get the gun clap
We don't like mainstream rap and will attack those who make it
Sayin' we ain't dope, when I saw ya punk ass scopin'
You said we're not good, but I saw you checking us out
You was on my dick til Buckshot 'got ya opin'
You were a fan of our group until Buckshot dissed you
Too hot to handle, no I can't stand y'all
We're too good and you can't compete with us
Punk ass niggas get blown out like Orlando
Weak people will get killed like the nightclub shooting in Orlando
(Crept in cruel, but Steele got swept in fool)
(Someone came in being cruel but then they got outnumbered)
It's a shame, Mr. Starang, hang ya like a picture frame
It's a shame, Starang, but we'll kill you and hang you up like a picture
Booyakah, fuck who you are, didn't get ya name
We don't care who you are and didn't bother to ask your name
Niggas couldn't hang, if we sufficent ease the pain
People can't handle us and our gang can offer relief to their pain
And brains blow, so I say fuck this
Brains will explode, so I say forget this
Let my nigga Rock bring the Ruck-us
Let my friend Rock cause chaos
Niggas talk shit, then they leaving here in crutches
People who talk badly about us will end up injured and needing crutches
I, cock, back, relax and swing
I pull back the gun, relax, and shoot
Ringin' ears, is what the Sluggah from the Ville be
I make people's ears ring after shooting them
Upon them weak crews, them can't do me nothing
I attack weak gangs because they can't do anything to me
Dare cross this path, gassed up and making something
If you cross me, I'll come after you and create trouble
Huffin', bluffin', punk in my path
People who are huffing and bluffing cause problems for me
Voice raise glass, and I don't think that you can ask routes
I raise my voice and don't think you can find your way around
Stand me, I bambi, ass of a wack cat, with my back half black
I'm weak and have the behind of a bad cat with a black back
So whose a dandy, he, L-O-U-I-E Ville Sluggah
Who's a dandy? It's me, Louis from Brownsville
Coming for ya, so muthafuckas run for cover
I'm coming for you, so you better hide
This is another, warrior sound that goes around
This is another song about gang warfare
And go' around, like them punks from underground
It spreads around like the punk gangs from the underground
Catchin' beatdowns, they not hard to the core
They're getting beat up because they're not tough at their core
They don't really want no war, when them rays hit the floor
They don't actually want a war when the guns start firing
Now this is for me, this is what I gotta do
This is for me and what I need to do
To let them niggas know, that ain't no fear in this man here
To show them that I'm not afraid
But of course we know anybody die
But we know that anyone can die
But be sure to rely, OGC will multiply and do or die
But know that our gang will increase and fight to the death
