Tha Dogg Pound - New York, New York Lyrics






Yo B (turn your speakers up man)
Turn your speakers up money!
Yo God! (Yo God?)
Yo I got mad skills.
Isn't that money?

[Chorus: Snoop]
New York New York big city of dreams
And everything in New York ain't always what it seems
You might get fooled if you come from out of town
But I'm down by law, and I'm from the Dogg Pound

[Verse 1: Kurupt]
It's the incredible, the lyrical
You can't be me like Niece, to see me is gonna take a miracle
I'm driving motherfuckers hysterical, with a
touch of this twister, stylistic mixture
What I create pulsates, there is no escape
Annihilate your mental mindstate
Dre labels my vocabulary abusive
I packs more knowledge than Confuscius, I'm deadly
Induce you like Medusa, with thoughts to shed
And niggaz throughout this hemisphere, far and near
Prepare, catch me chillin like the winter
Up against the number one contender, as I enter
Cause I gets heated like friction
Motherfuck your whole jurisdiction, react this fact not fiction
Telepathic addiction, to this homicidal recital
Dangerous and vital to all my rivals
Suicidal, brainwaves conveys
To the average motherfucker's minds these days
I'm all ready to put work in
Take ten steps and turn to shoot the first nigga smirkin
Give a FUCK, what's your name, what you claim
Or why you came, motherfucker don't explain
Simply, don't tempt me, cause I'm simply
Layin hoes lifes empty, the invicible MC

[Chorus 1]

[Chorus 2: Snoop]
Too much, I serve too many people, too much
It's too much, I serve too many people
And when I finish servin ain't gon be no sequel

[Chorus 1 and 2]

[Verse 2: Kurupt]
Gimme a couple G's, for every MC, I knocked to his knees
Verbally useless, oh you got the juice? I squeeze you juiceless
The barbaric, versatile, you're no kin to me
So how the fuck you inherit my style?
Now, out the clear blue sky, I can't deny
Not a day goes by, don't get high, don't ask why
Tonight's the night for me to rip microphones
Into bits and pieces lyrical telekinesis
Gets me into verbally vindictive
Violent vocabulary bobs to existance
Catch me in the pitch black path
I sit and let the sick thought pass through my mental
till I hear an instrumental
And detrimental verbals get to spittin
The highest in intellect, try connectin with the written
Now they faced with the forbidden, vocally chosen
To explore new terrain, then remain unseen, throughout the war
Dips like a low-low, with my verbal fo'-fo'
The cocoa complexion MC with the slow flow
Fo sho', I takes it to you from the do'
Motherfucker, mentally I go hardco' (you know!)
I disconnect ya, Kurupter, MC to vocally
bore your whole molecular, structure
Catastrophic, mystic as Mixelplix
Hittin MC's like picks the deadliest lyricist

[Chorus 1 and 2: x2]

[Kurupt]
We live... tonight I serve two thousand MC's
We live... cause can't none fuck with the DPG'z
[Daz]
We live (baby) because tonight I serve two thousand MC's
We live (baby) none can fuck with the DPG'z
[Snoop]
DPGC, ba-by
ABC the DPG'z
Ba-by...

[Verse 3: Kurupt]
Eryday, I bust rhymes and recite
In ways that make MC's stop in daylight
I'm the deadlies MC you wanna see on the streets
Invincibility is what makes me complete, compete
Nah you can't even fade me
I fuck, you, your momma, your auntie, and your lady...
[bzzt to static]

  1. M.... W....

    Kurupt was a lyrical genius if he is not on any body top ten list then you are not a true rap fan

  2. M.... D....

    Lol New York stay loosing....lmao

  3. T.... T....

    Yo!!! Niggas don't even know son!!! I would say how Cali took the spot here but I can't until New York brothas figure it out.... Not even Jay Z could phantom this mystery and New York had no answer to this.... Mobb Deep with L.A, L.A. was a failed attempt.... JA Rule, Fat Joe helped redeem New York with, "A hundred guns a hundred clips" but L.A. still had a choke hold on the game..... L.A. still holds the crown in my opinion because N.Y. never fully responded to this track that Nuked their city....

  4. C.... ....

    Legendary Kurupt flow and an immaculate beat to compliment his skills

  5. S.... 2....

    so many rapers on this song and none sound they same, and now all of them have same voice same style, with the rental house and cars on they videos

    Snoop slowly backs out of the situation while Pac and Biggie get killed for it

  17. b.... k....

  22. K.... R....

    Snoop a soft ass nigga

  23. M.... J....

    who knows where I can hear the mix with 2pac spitting on this beat. it was a killa remix

  24. W.... D....

    Was this before or after the 95 source awards

  25. P.... ....

    Aside from the chorus, this song is not really about New York at all

  26. M.... T....

    What year did this drop ???

  27. M.... T....

    Classic !!!!

  28. m.... h....

    Kurupt was a real mutherfucking g real rap

  29. N.... G....

    Inmagine Biggie was on this track to or natedogg

  30. G.... ....

    Always thought Kurupt had a very N.Y like flow and attitude.

    G.... ....

    GZA he’s from philly

  31. M.... C....

    My Hip Hop

  32. B.... ....

    dont give a fuck who rap legends are.... disrespect NY and you get dealt with.

  33. F.... M....

    What Snoop Won’t Tell You Is That They Wasn’t In The Hood At All And They Got Clapped At🤷‍♂️

  34. J.... D....

    Capone&Norega tried to rebuttal this but came up shawt 😆😆😆

    J.... D....

    Yeah wth was that? The should have gotten somebody who knew how to diss like LL the "golden child". Every time his career would die down someone would diss him and he would come back and kill their careers.

  35. 2.... ....

    Kurupt was just on a whole other level here. Pure fire son, no auto tune. Salute from HTX 🤘

  36. M.... ....

    Biggie really ratted out the dogg pound with their video shoot smh. Then when Pac came along, he acted like he wanted nothing but peace smh

  37. C.... W....

    Melle Mel did it first

  38. N.... A....

    The yellowbone throwing those hips at the end!

  39. d.... c....

    what was being expressed in this song and video is that, despite this one dimensional box that new york wanted to put the westcoast in at this time, the dogg pound wanted demonstrate that they could in fact match the eastcoast based on the standards set on the eastcoast, but simply did NOT want to

  40. D.... H....

    DPG 90s music back when rap beef was real and it didn't have none of this whole studio sneak dissin

  41. S.... C....

    NY can never And will never compete with the west. Look at ny now. They don’t have a sound anymore. Bay to LA. Nothing but slaps.

  42. A.... A....

    New York diss for sure!! Then snoop tried say they were giving NYC props in this video lol 😂 dam snoop you straight liar 🤥

  43. P.... M....

    Dogg Pound Gang,And CJC.4 Life.

  44. K.... M....

    NY 87 by Kurupt 🔥

  45. M.... f....

    He killed ny on the record but they almost lost they lives in real life out in bk wat they thought we was soft go check out how they had to duck bullets in the trailer.

  46. w.... h....

    This is what started the east/west coast beef tupac & biggie blow it up

    w.... h....

    Tim dogg - "fuck Compton" in 1991 is what started it.

    w.... h....

    new yorkers are soft fellas

  47. R.... ....

    9/11 programming at it's finest.

  48. I.... J....

    As a fellow Newyorker (born and raised) i'll have to admit I cant disagree with this track because everything in newyork aint always what it seems. Thats why all the real newyorkers left😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

  49. R.... C....

    New York got stomped out with this shit

  50. C.... L....

    Why did snoop kick down a building?

  54. D.... W....

  62. M.... N....

    NY could not touch this. Even their dis response were soo wack. Kurrupt is damn evil on this track. NY cats hated DPG for this but that hate is just props.

  63. P.... P....

    1:18 First ever earpods

    P.... P....

  64. M.... C....

    Damn I remember this Jam this was a diss to the people of New York and then the east coast rappers did one called la la

  65. H.... S....

    New York took a L with this one!

    H.... S....

    New york lost the fight when this dropped .. los angeles lost the war when LA LA released

  66. M.... K....

    How come new rappers sound like shit these days?

  67. l.... ....

    yo tendra unos 15 añitos
    cuando lo CHECK"ITS...,

  68. L.... A....

    Kurupt GODbodied All 5 boroughs...

    L.... A....

    LORD ABSOLUTE too bad kurupt is from philly tho

  69. L.... A....

    America America big Country of Dreams but everythang in America ain't always what it seems!!! Too much .

  70. O.... E....

    KDC saco la de Tijuas Tijuas

  71. #.... l....

    I'm originally from Brooklyn and moved to Pittsburgh PA I went back to Brooklyn for a visit in 93 and I brought NWA with me and those Brooklyn kids weren't having it they were listen in the 2 Live crew and Cypress hill

  72. T.... L....

    Stay on the wc big smoke

  73. R.... R....

    Where was that wack ass rapper Tim dog at when they made this tucking

  74. D.... -....

  77. O.... L....

    Kurupt = verses
    Snoop = hook
    Daz =beats

    O.... L....

    Oji Ligon yo too bad kurupt is from philly

  78. 7.... 7....

    Why it was so simple and beautiful ?

  79. E.... T....

    ALOT of ppl were feeling this shit back in the day......Dogg Pound was at the height of their popularity.......this was 94 i think shortly after Doggystyle......they were the G Unit or YOung Money of their time and they might have had MORE commercial success

  80. D.... B....

    This was hard.

  81. R.... N....

    Why couldnt rappers just chill out and get together?? As black people they should be united not hatin or killin each other. 90s was the best generation of hip hop. Period

  82. M.... N....

    This song is tight! And I realize wasn't originally intended as a diss, but I expected more shade thrown. Snoop only dropped like one building. Tim Dog came for the west harder than this, tbh. Still a tight song. And my man, Kurupt! Reppin' 215 (low-key). ✊🏾✌🏾

  83. c.... b....

    I remember watching this when i was a little child and my sister called me stupid for not knowing it was a diss song

  84. f.... ....

    Kurupt waz just spitting, Snoop wanted gas shit up on the track

  85. s.... ....

    I bet they had mad security when they came to New York to make this video.

    s.... ....

    I guess you dont know what happened

  86. b.... s....

    This was that heat!

  87. L.... C....

  89. D.... D....

    George Bush would be proud

  90. H.... A....

    I'm From Bmore The Mid part of The North East.And KURUPT was My Nigga.That lil Dude had Heads Shook on Both Coast And Both Poles.Nobody could see Yo on The Mic.Kurupt made every MC up in NYC say "OH SHIT WTF".Even He gained His Skill Set in Philly where He's born and partly raised.He made His name in South Central L.A. In a World where in Hip-Hop NYC Heads just wasn't going to Voluntarily Respect Any Dude just because They could Rhyme.This Classic Jam was very necessary.From that point on New York knew that when it came to being an MC.It's really more about The Craft and Lyricism of The Individual.And not just Their zip code.

  91. J.... A....

    This is a lyrical onslaught. Those bars should be in the hip hop Smithsonian.

  92. A.... R....

    L.a L.a diss was wack ! This one will always be better👌
