Dogg Food debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 on the chart dated November 18, 1995 with 278,000 copies sold in its first week. The effort was led by the singles “Let’s Play House” with Michel’le and Nate Dogg and “New York, New York” with Snoop Dogg and is considered to be the last “officially” produced under the G-funk era of Hip Hop – with Death Row Records pivoting to a new sound shortly after.
Comprised of Daz Dillinger and Kurupt, Tha Dogg Pound was formed in the early ’90s and went on to drop numerous albums, beginning with Dogg Food. The pair was signed to Death Row Records in their early years, but eventually split with the label.
Back in 2017, there were reports that Snoop and Daz were shopping a TV show based on Tha Dogg Pound to television networks nationwide that took inspiration from the group’s documentary, DPG Eulogy.
In regards to the series, Dillinger explained that he and Snoop can provide an “honest and unique” perspective on Tha Dogg Pound and Death Row Records.

“Snoop and I are always being asked to assist others with their Death Row projects because we were there from the beginning, until the demise,” Dillinger told Deadline at the time. “We saw Dre leave, ‘Pac murdered, and we were forced to run the company when Suge Knight went back to prison. Our perspective is honest and unique. There are countless stories that the world has never heard about those early days.” So far, nothing has come of the series.
