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]
It is considered to be a diss song towards B.G. Knocc Out, Dresta, Eazy-E and Cold 187um. 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". Kurupt and Daz's version was performed live at the 1995 Source Awards, and was nominated for Grammy Award for Best Rap Performance by a Duo or Group at the 1996 Grammy Awards.
