[edit] Biography
He usually collaborates with rapper Ice Cube. He has also produced albums for Del tha Funkee Homosapien, LL Cool J, Tha Dogg Pound (most notably "New York, New York"), King Tee and the late 2Pac.[1] In 1996, DJ Pooh provided the bulk of the production for Snoop's second album, The Dogg father. The album was criticized as a let-down at the time of its release, yet still managed to sell double-platinum.
DJ Pooh began in film by producing the drive-by shooting sequence in the 1991 film, Boyz n the Hood. He then went on in 1995 to help write the film Friday, in which he portrays the character "Red".
Pooh plays all three "Mack" characters in the video for the Ice Cube song "Who's the Mack?", AmeriKKKa's Most Wanted.[5]
He has also written, produced and directed his own films, which include the 2000 film 3 Strikes and 2001's The Wash, which stars Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg.
Pooh has been credited as co-producer and writer to the successful game Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas.
