The group made their 1992 rap verse debut on Dr. Dre's The Chronic, on various songs. They also appeared on Snoop's classic Doggystyle, and the Death Row soundtracks Murder Was The Case and Above The Rim. Their solo, Dogg Food, was released in 1995. It was another addition to the controversy of rap music due to the sexual and violent lyrics and went on to sell three million albums.
In 1996, they were featured on 2Pac's Death Row Records debut All Eyez On Me. Kurupt and Daz went on to have solo success in 1998. They both eventually left Death Row Records, and Kurupt started Antra Records, while Daz started D.P.G. Recordz. In 2003 a feud arose between them because Kurupt had claimed that Daz betrayed him. Kurupt signed back to Death Row Records in 2004, and his awaited release "Against Tha Grain" has been postponed several times. Daz is still on D.P.G records, with his new 2005 release "Tha Dogg Pound Gangsta LP". Sometime in April 2005 at the West Coast Conference held by Snoop Dogg, Kurupt and Daz reconciled and recorded their new single "Push Back" that same night. There will be two new Dogg Pound albums out this year. The first will be a D.P.G.C. album with Tha Dogg Pound, Snoop Dogg, Nate Dogg, Soopafly, Warren G, Bad Azz, and Tray Dee.
Big Pimpin'
Tha Dogg Pound Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
My dick kinda limp so I cruise around the block
Call my cousin Snoop as I swoop in the Coupe
Stop by my homie Blue house to puff on the loo
Seen my little homie Style who I ain't seen in a while
Damn near gone, floatin' on cloud one-nine
Liquor sto', so I grab some mixed gin and juice
Got a quarter pound of bud so I'm fucked up too
Bailed back in the crib (for what?) Because I'm all in
Conversated then I dug the ho out
I fixed me some food and boned the hell out
2 AM on the dizot, I pause and I stizop
I reminisce on that ass that I rizocked
Now I'm high as a kite
Yeah, and I'm feelin' alright
4 AM as I stroll back to my crib
To see what's with my woman and my newborn kid
With my mind on my money and my money on my mind
We do this everyday about the same time, biatch
I was at the park one day, that's when I saw her face
She looked kind of cavi to me
But when I take her home and tap that ass, I'm gone
I'm just a dog don't blame me
Now do I love them hoes? (Hell no)
And why is that? (Because you're Snoop Doggy Dogg)
(And you never gave a fuck about a bitch
'Cause to you, bitches ain't shit but hoes and tricks)
Hahah, di di da di da
Listen to the sounds from my nigga Doggy Dogg
Slidin' through the city in the rag six-fo'
Hoppin' like a motherfucker tryna find a ho
Hittin' all the spots but I'm comin' up blank
I'm headed to the liquor store to get myself some drank
Parks my ride as I, steps inside, as I
Puts my nine double-M to my side, as I
Continue with my mission
Pussy is my dish and I'm fishin', wishin'
Upon a star, to come up on some ends
Pushin' caviar, and a little bit of pussy
If I can get my pimp on
'Cause my pen gets my pimp on from G to ozone
I have pimped my pen, on cold Michigan nights
And the bitch didn't freeze up on me, when I wanted her to write it
I have pimped my pen in the hot California sun
And the bitch didn't drip, smear, or run
As she turned the trick pages, from loose-leaf to Zig-Zags
I have pimped my pen and she is number one in my stable
For I have yet not got a refill for her
I love her that's why she keeps, performing for me
I have pimped my pen, and she is number one, in my stable
Pleasure, is the treasure that the girl sells all day
Pleasure is the reason that she brings daddy his cash
Dedicated the ho, dedicated for sure
Dripping willows on satin pillows
Love is being checked, from a ho
Dead presidents still getting their fuck on
I'm so happy because ain't nothing like a lollipop
That gets sucked all day long
A tangy, little candy drop
I love it when she brings me the pay
Dedicated like everyday, to the sunshine
Yeah, my ho brings me mine
For life she said she'd do it
And I believed her when I accepted
Yeah, I got pimp bones in my body
And I rock them like la-di-da-di
I rock them mighty hardy, like la-di-da-di
I got pimp bones in my body
The lyrics of Tha Dogg Pound's song Big Pimpin' describe the lifestyle of gangsters living in the streets of Los Angeles in the early 90s. The song tells the story of a typical day in the life of a gangster, starting with waking up from an all-night party and cruising around the block with a limp dick. The singer then talks about meeting up with his crew to smoke weed and drink gin and juice. As the night goes on, the gangster meets women and spends time with them before returning to his crib at dawn to sleep off the day's indulgences.
The song also talks about pimping and taking advantage of women, a commonly glorified lifestyle at the time. The chorus, "With my mind on my money and my money on my mind," represents the gangster's focus on acquiring wealth through illegal means. The lyrics also reference Snoop Dogg's notorious reputation for not caring about women and viewing them as nothing more than "hoes and tricks."
Overall, the song Big Pimpin' presents a bleak outlook on life in impoverished urban areas, where small-time criminals turn to drugs and illegal activities to escape the struggles of their everyday lives. It also highlights the glorification and normalized attitudes towards pimping and exploiting women.
