  • "Deep Cover", also known as "187", is Dr. Dre's debut solo single, featuring Snoop Doggy Dogg, which is his debut in a single, for the soundtrack from the film Deep Cover (1992). The album peaked on the Billboard 200 album chart at #166 on July 25, 1992. Apart from the soundtrack compilation, it also appeared as a single and on Dr. Dre's First Round Knock Out (1996), which spent 2 weeks on the Billboard 200 starting at #52 and later on several greatest hits albums, including: Doggy Stuff and Doggy Style Hits. Like the artist indication on the original 12" vinyl says, "Dr. Dre introducing Snoop Doggy Dogg", it is the first time Snoop Dogg was featured on a record. As a single it had no major breakthrough regarding the sales but it launched Snoop's career. It samples a number of 1960s, 1970s and 1980s funk acts, such as Undisputed Truth's "(I Know) I'm Losing You" and Sly & the Family Stone's "Sing a Simple Song" (which provided the drumbeat). The single was set to be released on The Chronic (1992), but fallout from Body Count's banned song, "Cop Killer", prevented it since this song is also about killing police officers. The film did not have much success (it only received 2 nominations on the Independent Spirits Awards in 1993), but the song itself is held in esteem by many fans and critics. This song was also in the video game Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, in the radio station Radio Los Santos. During the 2007 VH1 Hip Hop Honors show, T.I. and B.G. performed this song during Snoop's honor ceremony.
