Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But really you don't know
what you gettin into
you can't see the gangster in me
[Snoop]
Uh, God Damn...

Oh Wee
Ya ya, wassup niggaz and niggets,
This is Dr. Dre,
Hey yo Snoop,
Kick some of that shit for the mutha fuckin East Side.
[Snoop]
And you know that,
Oh fo' sho'.
The opening lyrics of Tha Eastsidaz's song "Intro to Indo" feature girls in the background warning the listener that they don't know what they're getting into and that they can't see the gangster in the rapper. This sets the tone for the rest of the song, which features Snoop Dogg and Dr. Dre rapping about the gangster lifestyle and smoking "sticky icky" (a reference to high-quality weed).
Snoop Dogg's signature laid-back flow is featured prominently in the song, with his relaxed delivery contrasting with the gritty subject matter. Meanwhile, Dr. Dre's appearance on the track adds credibility to the gangster narrative, as he is known for his involvement in the West Coast hip-hop scene and his work with Snoop Dogg on classic albums like "The Chronic."
Overall, "Intro to Indo" is a classic example of West Coast gangsta rap, with its focus on drugs, violence, and street life. It's a reminder of the genre's popularity in the 1990s and early 2000s and its lasting influence on hip-hop culture.
