It is one of the last high-selling and critically acclaimed releases from the label, preceding only Tha Doggfather and 2Pac's albums as an anticipated album, and is the last album to be "officially" produced under the G-Funk (sub-genre) era of hip-hop which was pioneered by Above the Law.
Though it eventually sold over 2 million records (2x platinum), Dogg Food did not equal the success of preceding Death Row Records releases ( The Chronic and Doggystyle).
It landed on the top of the Billboard 200 chart producing a first-week sales of 277,500 albums. The album spawned two singles - "Let's Play House" and "New York, New York," featuring Nate Dogg and Snoop Dogg, respectively. Its controversial lyrics were the subject of shareholder protest (the album was supposed to be released in July 1995, as a result of the controversy from Time Warner, the release was delayed for three months). Dogg Food is the debut studio album by American hip hop group Tha Dogg Pound.
