"What Would You Do" is the debut single from Death Row Records duo Tha Dogg Pound, released in 1995 as a double A-side, paired with Nate Dogg's "One More Day".[1] The single was released from the soundtrack Murder Was the Case alongside songs by Snoop Doggy Dogg, DJ Quik, Dr. Dre, Ice Cube, Sam Sneed and other Death Row-affiliated artists. The song also appears on the Natural Born Killers soundtrack and the soundtrack for Entourage (where it is listed as "What Would U Do?"), and is the only song from that soundtrack which does not appear in the movie Natural Born Killers.
While the notes originally credited solely Daz as producer, Snoop Dogg later revealed that—among other Daz Dillinger tracks—the song was co-produced by Dre.[2] The song features background vocals by Jewell and the keyboards were done by Priest "Soopafly" Brooks.
It is considered to be a diss song towards B.G. Knocc Out, Dresta, Eazy-E and Ruthless Records. Eazy-E responded with the tracks "Ole School Shit" and his own version of "What Would You Do" called "Wut Would You Do". B.G. Knocc Out and Dresta responded with "D.P.G./K". The song was nominated for Grammy Award for Best Rap Performance by a Duo or Group at the 1996 Grammy Awards.
