The re-united Dogg Pound was on Julio G (K-Day) yesterday for some interviews, and they announced a "Welcome 2 Tha Chuuuch - Tha Album" compilation dropping prior to the full D.P.G.C. Reunion album that will be coming out through Snoop Dogg later.
They also premiered a brand new track by Snoop Dogg, Daz, Kurupt & Nate Dogg! That's right, back to the good ol' days. The track was produced by none other than Battlecat himself, so you know it's gonna be hot! It's a very feel good track, Nate sounds real good on it, crazy to hear him on a track with Daz & Kurupt again.
The other huge news that was dropped while they were on the air was Kurupt stating that Nate Dogg was now signed to Aftermath! No further information on that, but stay tuned.

Game Arrested In North Carolina
The Black Wall Street label owner The Game was arrested today (Oct. 28th) in Greensboro, North Carolina.
The Game, whose real name is Jayceon Terrell Taylor, was shopping and greeting fans in the Four Seasons Town Center in a Halloween mask
Authorities were unaware of the reason for the commotion and approached Taylor and allegedly asked him to remove his mask.
Once authorities realized that he was a celebrity, they allegedly tried to diffuse the situation.
Officials said The Game grew hostile and stated "Ya'll don't know who I am," and proceeded to make a scene.
Police stated that after several attempts to resolve the situation were unsuccessful, The Game and an associate was subsequently arrested and charged with two misdemeanors of disorderly conduct and resisting arrest.
The Game was released without bail and is currently performed last night (Oct. 2
at Winston-Salem State University.
“They thought I was Rodney King,” Game told WFMY News 2. “I would play the racial card but we’ve done that too much. I’m here for the concert and signing a little girl’s autograph got me arrested.”
Footage taken by a fan captures several officers pushing and shoving the rapper, who’s not wearing a mask during the incident.
As Game is backing away, an officer pulls out a can of pepper spray and aims it in the rapper’s direction.
The Game is then handcuffed and led out of the mall.
“Whenever there’s a use in force, regardless of where it occurs or when it occurs, we always initiate an internal investigation and that’s exactly what will happen in this case,” a police representative said. “There was a use of force and we made an arrest for two individuals who are part of the rap group The Game. When we applied pepper spray to those folks, that automatically means we will initiate an investigation to determine whether that was justified. “
The Game said he would call his lawyers to seek legal recourse.

50 Cent Says Dre's Not Working With Game, Paramount Pulls Ads
50 Cent reiterated earlier this week that super producer Dr. Dre will not be collaborating with The Game on The Doctor’s Advocate, the Compton neophyte’s second album.
In an interview with Miss Jones and the Hot 97 morning show, 50 Cent drastically countered claims by The Game, who has already started on his sophomore effort.
“He [Dr. Dre] knows what the kid [The Game] just did and that’s it. I’m not working on [The Game’s new album] and he’s not working on it,” said 50 Cent. “He’s just got to go in and make good records. Of course, he’ll probably name [his album The Doctor’s Advocate] to make people think [Dre] is involved.”
The Game has already contradicted 50’s claims when discussing The Doctor’s Advocate.
"It's the same format at The Documentary. If it aint broke don't fix it," Game told AllHipHop.com. "I am still with Dre and I'm working with some of the best producers.”
Despite his rival’s contention, 50 Cent said that his personal conversations Dr. Dre, his history with The Game and his contributions to The Documentary project were reason enough not to work with the Compton rapper.
“I’ve had communications with Dre since [he appeared on the BBC radio]. My reason for saying it is…nobody can take anything away from Dre. We don’t have any issues,” 50 said. “See, Dre knows exactly how much I did for Game’s project. I wrote six songs on his album. Three of them are his first three singles and I was on the records to make people listen to them.”
Game vehemently denied that 50 Cent wrote six songs, but maintained that they did collaborate creatively.
“We got an understanding. Everything is good,” 50 said.
In related news, Paramount has removed posters advertising 50 Cent’s new movie “Get Rich or Die Tryin’,” that featured the rapper brandishing two handguns.
The posters drew the wrath of various community groups in Los Angeles, California, who said the posters were insensitive due to the rise in gun violence in urban communities.
