Nowadays Tha Dogg Pound duo Daz Dillinger and Kurupt are much more likely to figuratively rat-a-tat-tat some raps on that ass than blast Gats. Kushtal Records had the opportunity to book Tha Dogg Pound for a show in Winnipeg. This was great news for rap fans. Especially for us older heads who grew up in the heyday of Gangsta Rap and the subsequent prominence of the popular West Coast rap movement that brought us N.W.A., Ice-T, Too Short, Snoop Dogg, Dr. Dre and Tupac.
We followed a couple ladies with legs-for-days (or should we say mini-mini-skirts?) into Stereo Nightclub. As we settled in we caught energetic sets from local rap crew Unity Sound Crew and Van City wordsmith Dilemma. Daz and Kurupt's first few tracks paid homage to one-time Deathrow labelmate and D.P.G. affiliate Nate Dogg.
"Nobody Does It Better" and "Regulate" set the tone for the night. The crowd was already eagerly reciting lyrics word for word as G-Funk dripped from the speakers and the energy only heightened as popular tracks "Cali Iz Active" and "Let's Play House" got a spin. These two are Tha Dogg Pound's highest charting singles; #4 & #5 respectively, on the Billboard Rap Charts. Halfway through the set DJ Salam abruptly stopped the music for a memorable crowd-response question asked by Daz: "Do y'all smoke weed in Winnipeg?! We do in Cali every day!" The crowd roared in agreement, then Kurupt c-walked quite effortlessly to everyone's amusement. Then "Ain't No Fun" came on and once again West Coast rap karaoke was in session.
At one point Kurupt stopped the music to educate everyone about Daz's underappreciated production prowess. He was responsible for production on several tracks off of Tupac's acclaimed album All Eyez On Me: "Ambitionz Az a Ridah" and "I Ain't Mad at Cha," to name a couple. Let's not forget that Kurupt was considered one of the most lyrical emcees from the West Coast. Their set concluded with snippets from the many tracks that they've been individually featured on, like "Got My Mind Made Up" by Tupac featuring Daz and "Housewife" by Dr. Dre featuring Kurupt. All in all, Tha Dogg Pound put on a solid rap show filled with familiarity and funk and explosive energy. Appropriately, they ended the night with a bang... "Xxplosive." check out the pics here http://respect-mag.com/photos-recap-tha-dogg-pound-in-winnipeg-canada

Tha Dogg Pound is an American hip hop duo formed in 1992, made up of West Coast rappers Daz Dillinger and Kurupt. They were signed to Death Row Records in their early careers and were key to the label's success. The duo made their first appearance on Dr. Dre's highly-acclaimed debut album The Chronic (1992), appearing on several songs. They also appeared on Snoop Dogg's debut album Doggystyle (1993), and the Death Row soundtracks Murder Was the Case and Above the Rim. Their debut album Dogg Food was released in 1995. It was another addition to the controversy of hardcore hip hop due to the sexual and violent lyrics and went on to sell two million albums.
Kurupt and Daz went on to release solo albums starting in 1998. They had both eventually left the crumbling Death Row Records in 1999 after Daz left due to long-lasting internal struggles on the label after friend and labelmate Tupac Shakur's murder in 1996. Kurupt started Antra Records, while Daz and Soopafly started D.P.G. Recordz. In 2002 a feud arose between the two when Kurupt decided to sign back with Death Row Records, upsetting everyone involved with the group. His awaited Death Row release Against Tha Grain had been postponed several times while Kurupt was on the label, later being released in August 2005, after he was off. In January 2005, Daz made another solo album release titled Tha Dogg Pound Gangsta LP. Tha Dogg Pound then got back together as a group and released Dillinger & Young Gotti II in November 2005. In 2006 Snoop Dogg decided to get involved and the three released their official reunion album Cali Iz Active.
An extended family, referred to as D.P.G.C. (short for Dogg Pound Gangsta Crips), is made up of Tha Dogg Pound, Snoop Dogg, Big C-Style,Techniec, Nate Dogg, Bad Azz, Lil' ÃÆ'Æ'Æ'ÃÆ'†'ÃÆ'Æ'†'ÃÆ'Æ'Æ'ÃÆ'¢â‚¬Â 'ÃÆ'Æ'Æ'ÃÆ'†'ÃÆ'Æ'¢ÃÆ'¢â€Ã...¡Ã‚¬ÃÆ'‚ 'ÃÆ'Æ'Æ'ÃÆ'†'ÃÆ'Æ'†'ÃÆ'Æ'Æ'ÃÆ'‚¢ÃÆ'Æ'¢ÃÆ'¢â‚¬Ã...¡ÃÆ'‚¬ÃÆ'Æ'â€Ã...¡ÃÆ'‚ 'ÃÆ'Æ'Æ'ÃÆ'†'ÃÆ'Æ'†'ÃÆ'Æ'Æ'ÃÆ'¢â‚¬Â 'ÃÆ'Æ'Æ'ÃÆ'†'ÃÆ'Æ'¢ÃÆ'¢â€Ã...¡Ã‚¬ÃÆ'...¡ÃÆ'Æ'Æ'ÃÆ'¢â‚¬Ã...¡ÃÆ'Æ'â€Ã...¡ÃÆ'‚¢ÃÆ'Æ'Æ'ÃÆ'†'ÃÆ'Æ'†'ÃÆ'Æ'Æ'ÃÆ'¢â‚¬Ã...¡ÃÆ'Æ'â€Ã...¡ÃÆ'‚¢ÃÆ'Æ'Æ'ÃÆ'†'ÃÆ'Æ'â€Ã...¡ÃÆ'‚¢ÃÆ'Æ'Æ'ÃÆ'‚¢ÃÆ'Æ'¢ÃÆ'¢â€Ã...¡Ã‚¬ÃÆ'...¡ÃÆ'Æ'â€Ã...¡ÃÆ'‚¬ÃÆ'Æ'Æ'...ÃÆ'Æ'â€Ã...¡ÃÆ'‚¡ÃÆ'Æ'Æ'ÃÆ'†'ÃÆ'
