The duo, consisting of Kurupt and Dat Nigga Daz, made their mark by guesting on Snoop Doggy Dogg's multiplatinum Doggystyle. In the weeks leading up to the release of their first album, Dogg Food, Tha Dogg Pound came under attack from conservatives as an archetype of the dangerous messages of gangsta rap. Their lyrics were too violent and vulgar, according to conservatives, who pressured Warner Bros. (the parent company of Interscope Records, Tha Dogg Pound's label) not to release the album.
Warner Bros. washed its hands of the whole situation, selling off its shares of Interscope. Dogg Food was distributed by Priority Records. The record itself was more or less standard gangsta fare, steeped in Dr. Dre-style G-Funk. Dre himself was credited as executive producer; like virtually everything he touched during the first half of the '90s, Dogg Food went platinum.
