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.

Tha Dogg Pound Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
(Busta ass niggas)
(Let's ride on they ass)
(I be back in about thirty minutes)
(Long Beach city, nigga, haha)
(Get your ass in the car, nigga)
We won, we won
And they lost, and they lost
Now we took they shit, now it's time to floss
Before I even step, motherfuckers hit the deck
I gets reck' with a TEC, so cash in like checks, fool
I gots my own back in a scrap
But if it calls for that, I got my nigga Kenny Mack (biatch)
Swift as the wind, the MAC-10's in my nigga's clutches
So bust this, we rush this broke ass nigga
I knew he was a fuckin' punk
So then I tapped Daz, go and pop the fuckin' truck
He steps back in with TEC
And I'm all pumped, puffin' on blunts, ready to get reck'
Even though I knew he had a MAC-10, know I gave a fuck
And stuck the TEC out the window, ready to let loose
Get some gin and juice and then tell Snoop to come scoop
Check me out, peep how all who withstand
Step so quick and slowly sink like quicksand
Murder, that's what I be yellin'
I'm peeping your people, now two fuckin' hoods done bailed in
Wonderin' if he's G or a B-G, sportin' locs and a beanie
Tryna mad dog, you can't see me
Now I could bust a cap and split 'em up, I'm ready to get 'em up
I said, "what that Dogg Pound like, nigga?" Then I hit 'em up
Now you niggas know what's up with Kurupt (right)
Niggas don't give a fuck, I'm headed for the Westside
Now this spot's owned by the motherfuckin' D-O-double-G
P-O-U-N-D, so I see no other choice but to roll with the homicide
For all this drama, make sure you and your mama die
This is Dogg Pound for life
This is Dogg Pound for life
Nigga, I just don't give a fuck
This is Dogg Pound for life, nigga
This is Dogg Pound for life
Nigga, we just don't give a shit
Now before I bails, I blaze up a few sacks
Freshly Zig-Zag wrapped and grab my cavi sack
Tote a strap in my lap because the feud is on
One of these niggas got caught slippin', now the Eastside's a war zone
Known for the OGs
D-O-Gs, L-O-Cs
Sellin' cavi on the spot, late nights
Who gives a fuck about another nigga, this Tha Pound for life
I got the biggest (uh-huh), fattest (like what), rocks on any block
Sellin' my dubs like crazy and the sales never stop
I saw my paper stackin', so I had to rush me a Benz, shit
I love the life that I live
Yeah, was the greatest of 'em all (a hustler)
I ran my game like a gangster, had no room for no busters
It musta been like a dream
I moved from sacks to grams, from O-Z's to ki's (big balls)
Now I'm known through the hood as the O-G
Never no more can be called no B-G
I put this sack down, I put my bang down
I start to set trip (why?) 'Cause this is Dogg Pound
So now you know about that nigga D-A-Z
(And where you from?) Eastside 'til I dizzie, L-B-C
This is Dogg Pound for life
This is Dogg Pound for life, nigga
Nigga, I just don't give a fuck
This is Dogg Pound for life
This is Dogg Pound for life
Motherfucka, I just don't give a fuck
This is Dogg Pound for life
This is Dogg Pound for life, bitch
Call it what you want, Dogg Pound's the gang
This is Dogg Pound for life
This is Dogg Pound for life
Nigga, we just don't give a shit (biatch)
Meditate to my flow, as I mob down the row
Yo, boy is it loony where the grass is greener
1-8-7 ain't shit but a misdemeanor
I've seen a lot of niggas come up, a few niggas done up
Some rest in peace with their khakis heavy creased
But it's an Eastside thang, a who-ride thang
If we bang to the boogie then we boogie to the (bang)
I bring you the mothafuckin' .38
Just get the MC and my homie Nate
So we can ride, slide, slippity-slide
As I take you on a trip, nigga, ride, Eastside
This is Dogg Pound for life
This is Dogg Pound for life
Nigga, we still don't give a fuck
This is Dogg Pound for life
This is Dogg Pound for life
Mothafucka, we still don't give a fuck
You will lie in hell
Where your dead homeboys dwell
There's no way to escape
There's no way you can escape
So rest in peace, bitch
Anybody's killa

Yo, boy is it loony where the grass is greener
Yo, my friend, it is crazy where things appear better
1-8-7 ain't shit but a misdemeanor
A murder (code 1-8-7) is insignificant, only considered a lesser crime
I've seen a lot of niggas come up, a few niggas done up
I have witnessed many individuals rise in status, while some have been killed
Some rest in peace with their khakis heavy creased
Some now rest in peace, dressed in creased khaki clothing
But it's an Eastside thang, a who-ride thang
However, it is a distinct Eastside culture, a united ride
If we bang to the boogie then we boogie to the (bang)
If we engage in violence, then we celebrate through rhythmic movements
I bring you the mothafuckin' .38
I present to you the powerful .38 caliber handgun
Just get the MC and my homie Nate
Retrieve the microphone and summon my friend Nate
So we can ride, slide, slippity-slide
So we can travel, glide, and move smoothly
As I take you on a trip, nigga, ride, Eastside
As I guide you through an experience, my friend, ride with me on the Eastside
You will lie in hell
You will suffer in hell
Where your dead homeboys dwell
Where your deceased friends reside
There's no way to escape
There is no means of escaping
There's no way you can escape
There is no possible escape for you
So rest in peace, bitch
So accept your fate, derogatory term for a person
Anybody's killa
A murderer without any specific target
