In the months leading up to the albums release, Kurupt appeared on BETRapCity and announced that "Reality" (a song that features Tray Dee) would be the lead single for the album. However, this song was never released as a single for the album. The video for the second single "New York, New York" sparked some controversy when Snoop appeared in the video kicking down buildings throughout New York. The lead to lesser known and less pronounced response record by Capone and Noreaga called "L.A., L.A.". The trailer of the Dogg Pound was also shot at during the process of making the "New York, New York" video. The song is the only track on the album not produced by Daz or Kurupt (Kurupt produces just one cut on the album), as DJ Pooh provided the beat. The songs opening track contains a line of disrespect towards rival rap group Bone Thugs in Harmony, as Kurupt raps "Ain't Got No Love For No Hoes In Harmony". Picking up from where the beef had previous left off between Dogg Pound mentor Dr. Dre, and Bone mentor Eazy E. This is consistent with most the Death Row releases up to this point, as the Chronic contains the Eazy E disses on tracks 1 and 2, Snoop's Doggystyle contains the Eazy E disses in a conversation (skit) with Daz, and the Murder Was The Case album contains a Ruthless slight in the track "What Would You Do?" The track "I Don't Like To Dream About Gettin' Paid" is a remake of an original track recorded by 213 (Snoop, Nate, Warren G) before they were famous, and Nate Dogg appears in the chorus of the track. 213 had two underground songs "I Don't Like To Dream About Gettin' Paid" and "Long Beach is A Mutherfucka" that are still to this day rare and unreleased. |
