(which he famously repeated on the intro to "Pump Pump", the eighteenth track from Snoop Dogg's debut album 'Doggystyle'), from the song and the related Death Row film, 'Murder Was the Case'. The single peaked at number 16 on the 'Billboard' Hot Dance Music/Maxi-Singles Sales chart, 18 on the Hot Rap Tracks chart and 48 on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Singles & Tracks chart.
