Lyrics [edit]
Originally in the first and third verse DMX was supposed to diss Tupac for saying West Coast hip hop is better than East Coast, but instead dissed K-Solo. The third verse of this song was entirely from a diss of Tupac that he wrote in 1996, except Tupac is not mentioned in this song, as he disses K-Solo. 50 Cent makes a reference to this song in his diss towards Sheek Louch and other names titled "Piggy Bank".
In Popular Culture [edit]
"Get at Me Dog" is also on the playlist of the video game Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories, on the fictional rap radio station The Liberty Jam.
Samples [edit]
