What Would You Do? marks the first single released by the Death Row Records duo Tha Dogg Pound in 1995, issued as a double A-side alongside Nate Dogg's "One More Day". This track was featured on the Murder Was the Case soundtrack, which included contributions from artists such as Snoop Doggy Dogg, DJ Quik, Dr. Dre, and Ice Cube. Additionally, it appears on the soundtracks for Natural Born Killers and Entourage, although it is not part of the Natural Born Killers film itself.

While initially credited solely to Daz Dillinger for production, Snoop Dogg later revealed that Dr. Dre also co-produced the piece. Jewell provided background vocals, and keyboard work was performed by Soopafly (Priest "Soopafly" Brooks).

The track is commonly interpreted as a diss aimed at B.G. Knocc Out, Dresta, Eazy-E, and Ruthless Records. In response, Eazy-E released "Ole School Shit" and his rendition of the song titled "Wut Would You Do," while B.G. Knocc Out and Dresta countered with "D.P.G./K". The single received a nomination for Best Rap Performance by a Duo or Group at the 1996 Grammy Awards.

Response

Disses directed at B.G. Knocc Out, Dresta, Eazy-E, and Ruthless Records are present in both the audio and video for the song. Eazy-E answered with two tracks on his album Str8 off tha Streetz of Muthaphukkin Compton: "Ole School Shit" and his take on "What Would You Do?" called "Wut Would You Do". Meanwhile, B.G. Knocc Out and Dresta responded on their album Real Brothas with the song "D.P.G./K".
