Hollywood is known for cashing in on a successful trend. Right now N.W.A and West Coast Hip Hop history are breaking box office records, and the result appears to be a follow-up to the $60 million making movie Straight Outta Compton.
TMZ reports Snoop Dogg, 2Pac, Warren G, and Tha Dogg Pound are set to be the subjects of an upcoming movie. TDP member Daz Dillinger told the site a motion picture titled Dogg Pound 4 Life is currently in the works.
The film is said to include N.W.A. members Ice Cube and Dr. Dre, but the actors from Straight Outta Compton will not be reprising their roles. However, Dr. Dre’s son Curtis Young is already set to play his father. Cube and Dre are not attached to Dogg Pound 4 Life, but apparently Cube has approved the idea.
Tha Dogg Pound, Snoop Dogg, and 2Pac were all central figures in the rise of Dr. Dre and Suge Knight’s Death Row Records. Knight will be portrayed in Dogg Pound 4 Life, but he is not going to be part of the production of the movie.

Would be a cool movie if it were to come to fruition, but I doubt that it will. The title is not good at all. Dogg Pound 4 Life sounds like a low-budget documentary, not the title of a hit movie. That title would have to be changed if this movie came out.
You can imagine some of the scenes already in a DPG movie:
Meeting Dr. Dre
Working (and fighting) with Tupac
Feud between Daz/Snoop/Kurupt
Death of Nate Dogg
There's enough crazy shit in their lives to make a great movie, that's for sure.

If F. Gary Gray gets behind it, and they focus on Snoop, Pac, Suge, and Dre—then this could be another big movie. We are all big fans of the Dogg Pound, Daz, Kurupt, Warren, Nate etc. but I just don't think they have close to the commercial appeal that the NWA film did, so naming it Dogg Pound for life wouldn't really work.
...It would probably be asking to much for Dre to get behind the project as well, but that would be cool to see his son play him in the movie
-
I think this would be really good if it is done right. The shit that went on in the Deathrow days are just begging to be made into a movie.
I cant see the title sticking though, it will most definitely be changed to something else.
-
Universal already shut it down
They say :
Not behind the project
Never talked to daz
I hope it won't be one of the cheap movies snoop and jt the Bigga Figga do
Cause the story sure has the potential to be a follow up to SOC
If did right and they take their time

yea thats what i said when daz announced it, if they focused on the rise of death row, it could be just as good as the nwa movie......they should just call it "The Inmates" to keep wit the Death Row team.
-
If Snoop announced it I'll be more confident but Daz?
It'll be a good movie if it's done right but I'm not sure if I could trust Daz for quality control.
-
Its not happening....
Studio says they have no plans as of yet...
But seeing that SOC doubled its production cost first weekend, I wouldn't rule it out....
-
The problem with the idea of making a Dogg Pound movie is that Daz and Kurupt simply are not famous enough to be the subjects of a biographical movie.
A movie focused entirely on Snoop, detailing his relationships with Dre and Pac - while Daz and Kurupt play minor roles (comparable to Ren/Yella in SOC) - now that has more commercial plausibility. A Snoop movie could also have a good, simple title: Doggystyle.
-
^
Im pretty sure the movie is not going to focus on daz and kurupt, but the dogg pound clique as a whole, with snoop, warren g, nate dogg, and the rest of the dpg's, and everything and anything that went on at deathrow, so including dr dre 2pac and other deathrow artists.
I agree that the name dpg 4 life is not a good movie title.
"Stranded on deathrow" or "welcome to deathrow" sounds better , even though the latter has already been used for a documentary about the label

+1

If they do this movie name must be stranded on death row. End of story.
-
if it's gonna be done, it'll be another low budget flick never to be released ala Make It Rain, or Gangsta Shit.
No big movie studio will ever fund a movie focused on Daz & Kurupt, Daz is delusional and talking out of his ass, as usual. I'm surprise people are still taking him seriously when he announces upcoming projects.
As for a flick centered on Death Row, that could happen but just look at how they struggled to get the NWA movie done with a decent budget, I can't see it green lighted easily with all the conflicting parties involved (Dre, Suge, Afeni, Daz (lol)).
-
throughout the movie they'll make up stories about them standing up to suge and perhaps show them beating him up lol...lies man lol
-
Not a good idea...
-
They need to ask Lydia Harris if she wants to produce this movie #joke Anyway, I dunno if this is a good idea to annonce a sequel, now. Of course it could be a good story focusing on Death Row, with a lot of facts and stories that can be told, from Dre/Snoop success to 2Pac death. But, I definitely cant understand a movie based [only] on DPGC family. Title ? "Ain't Nuthin But A "G" Thang" for the success of G-Funk Death Row developed and sold by millions (The Chronic / DoggyStyle) and for all the drama and controversy (Snoop charged with murder / politic debate denouncing gangsta rap / 2Pac death).
-
DPG was life to me growing up so I'd love to see this. But from a business standpoint - terrible idea. Nobody is rushing out to the theatre to see the Daz & Kurupt story. A Death Row movie hell yeah but not Dogg Pound.
-
Yeah Tha Dogg Pound are no way near known well enough outside of hardcore rap fans to warrant having a whole film based on them. Even a movie based on Snoop's come up wouldn't be a success.
The natural thing now is to do a film based on Death Row Records and everything that went on during those years. I hope they do it.

PEOPLE ARE FAILING TO REALIZE THAT SINCE THIS NWA MOVIE BLEW UP, HELLA RAP CLIQUES ARE GUNA START TRYNA MAKE MOVIES AND MANY OF THEM WILL GET PICKED UP AND GREEN-LIT. LIKE WHEN SPIDERMAN WAS A HUGE SUCCESS, IT WAS THA DAWN OF THE SUPERHERO MOVIE ERA. SEEMS LIKE THE HIP-HOP BIOPIC ERA IS SET TO TAKE OFF........OF COURSE, IT WONT BE JUST ABOUT DAZ AND KURUPT, BUT A MOVIE FOCUSED ON THE WHOLE DPGC CLIQUE CAN DO GOOD IF DONE RIGHT.

THATS WHAT IM SAYIN (IN 15 YEARS)

Theres alot more shit that went on at deathrow to talk about. So many stories and incidents. Deathrow was the biggest thing in gangsta rap from the early to mid 90's. Westcoasts biggest rap stars were there.
A major production movie is definately warranted.
It should focus on deathrow up until snoop leaves deathrow, and then take on a more doggpound-centric view on snoop and the dpgc family with the feud happening between them with suge and deathrow
-
How unoriginal!
NWA movie came out and all of a sudden Daz won't stop talking about Dogg Pound Movie.
I like Daz but when it comes to projects, he's a let down.
They better not do the movie, it'll be awful with Daz in charge and might mess up any chance of the real deal happening.
If it's ever going to happen, they need serious minds, that know what they are doing and won't accept some average rubbish.
Snoop, Daz, Kurupt, Warren G are not capable of that, it'll end up on trapflix as a mediocre rubbish.
I am a big DPG fan and I hope they won't be messing up their own legacy.
-
Go out on the street, hell even in Compton in 2015, and barely anyone will even know Daz and Kurupt. It makes no sense. Eminem fans watched Straight Outta Compton for Dr Dre, Ice Cube is also a fairly massive name due to his movies (and is relevant because of how hilarious he was in Jump Street). Had it not been for Dre and Cube, no one would care about Ren, Yella and Eazy in 2015. Sucks but that's the way music is I guess. Most people can't even name all the members of NWA.
What I want to know is where's the 2pac biopic? His entire life is meant for a film. His time in performing arts school, his digital underground start up, how he started to get with death row and be involved with the dangerous nutters, his feud with Biggie, his rape and cop killing incidents, hell even throwing a Mike Tyson in there for the night he got shot would make some noise. They have actors for Dre, Snoop, Suge, 2pac etc. all done from this film. Just make it a sequel, rehire the same non-big actors and let his story play out itself.
-
Daz is kinda pathetic. I have to say it. This is a man who had a double platinum album in the '90s with Kurupt. And he even had a top 10 solo album in 1998. But now he sounds like my friends who form bands and shoot music videos and act like rock stars even though they have four fans.
Seems to me that dude saw all the love that the N.W.A movie is getting and said, "hey, we big time too, we deserve a movie." But what he doesn't understand is, regardless of his cousin Snoop being legendary, none of their stories are really that incredibly dramatic nor are they really interesting to, well...many people outside of '90s hip-hop fans.
I would say, maybe, just maybe, a movie on Death Row Records from like '92 to '97ish could be made, with a closer look at Dre's travails during that era, Snoop blowing up and then dealing with his murder charge, and of course Tubesock Shucker. Unfortunately for Daz, I couldn't see his character being much more than an MC Ren type in the N.W.A movie. Shoot, even Warren G has a more interesting story than Daz, with being Dre's half-brother who, unlike the rest of his crew, didn't get signed to Death Row and instead had to go his own way, and basically made it on his own (obviously with a lot of help from RAL and Def Jam).
It's just sad Daz can't try to be real with himself. Instead of acting like he's still relevant, he should accept where he is, and try to work his way back. But acting like it's 1995 and thinking people want a Dogg Pound movie is outrageous. I'm surprised any news outlets picked this up. Shit, I mean this is the guy who said Dr. Dre was executive producing the new Dogg Pound album a year or two ago, right? How's that comin' Daz?
HA! :loser:

it's in the works, executive produced by LT Hutton and Afeni. but it won't feature the same actors as in SOC.

exactly my thoughts, it seems like TMZ are in touch with Daz more often ever since the GTA V controversy, and and they picked it up thinking it'll make some noise, not knowing or caring how unreliable and not credible Daz's word is. and other news outlets followed suit. the Dre produced DPG album immediately came to mind.

Not a fan of LT Hutton being on this project. He never worked with 'Pac and his remixes of 'Pac's songs were not true to 'Pac. I think Afeni put her trust in the wrong man.

Actually LT already worked with Pac when de was affiliated with tha Dogg Pound Gangstaz family, Snoop and Big C-Style in 1996. But I doubt he's the man able to make a great biopic
