It is the introductory debut single of Tha Dogg Pound from 1994 that have appeared in various compliations. It is also the first appearance of Snoop Dogg within the group. It never went solo, though it had been embedded in the Let's play house EP, that reached the 84th place during the year 1996 on the UK Chart. It was the first EP of Tha Dogg Pound and it made a perfect introduction for the Dogg Food album with the tracks featured on both of them. It was also a part of the Murder Was The Case soundtrack which debuted at number one on Billboard’s album chart. On the chorus vocals it features R&B boygroup Jodeci. The video was shot an year later. In 2001 the track was edited into the Death Rows Greatest hits double package compilation.
The Music Video
The introduction starts in a billiards saloon while Snoop wins a game and quits the place to have a shoe cleaning in the nearby. He is disturbed by a amateur-dancer seeking for career who tries to show Snoop Dogg his Electric Boogie skills. Then they are joined by the Tha Dogg Pound. The main plot is short and incoherent. The lyrics is about introducing the Tha Dogg Pound and disgracing the east side rappers. A street deal is shown that turnes out in a gang lynch, later followed by a car pursuit on the freeway with Daz and Kurupt escaping in a white Ford van (probably it's a police chase). There's a party in the billiards club with women and other locals jittering the police manhunt while watching its live aircam news coverage in the television.
