At the climax of our VERSUS SHOOTOUT between Daz Dillinger and Warren G, the referee added a whopping 25 minutes of extra time after two hydration breaks and a nasty moment when Nate Dogg made some bodies turn cold.

So, never ones to short-change their loyal listeners, Danny, Larry and Steve pull up their socks, slather lashings of Deep Heat onto the vital areas and lumber back over the touchline to fill that 25 minutes with more robust hip-hop discourse.

And what a 25 minutes it is. We dive deeper into the discographies of these two Long Beach legends in Winner Stays On, tackle big philosophical dilemmas in What’s The Scenario and probe Larry and Steve’s minds with a series of fiendish questions in That’s The Real Quiz.

In this episode, we’re at the SoFi Stadium in LA to witness a Long Beach G-Funk SHOOTOUT between rapper/producers DAZ DILLINGER and WARREN G.

With the 2026 World Cup in full swing, what better what to celebrate than a good old-fashioned hip-hop penalty shootout between two West Coast legends?

On one side is Tha Dogg Pound general, Death Row producer and architect behind some of the hardest West Coast classics. On the other is the smooth-talking Regulator whose laid-back flow, melodic production and Nate Dogg-assisted anthems helped take G-funk global.

From Dogg Food to Regulate… G Funk Era and beyond, we’re putting catalogues, impact, verses, beats and legacy under the spotlight. We’ve picked five tracks from each artist, which are drawn against each other at random and we use the three-main vote to decide who wins each tie.

Like the real World Cup, this podcast has three hosts – Danny, Larry and Steve – who keep the matches moving with insightful, incisive commentary, backed by some of the biggest names in British football.

So who’ll keep their nerve from the spot and plant it top bins? Who’ll shank it into Row Z? Listen to find out!

Emerging from their Q-TIP SHOOTOUT bruised and battered with a touch of cramp in the calves, Danny, Larry and Steve quaff a case of Lucozade and haul themselves back onto the pitch for another half hour of hip-hop bollocks.

This bonus EXTRA TIME episode digs deeper into the mercurial mind of Q-Tip with our regular segments What’s The Scenario and Time For Questions, while Winner Stays On and That’s The Real Quiz put our hosts’ grey matter to the test with some devilishly difficult brain teasers – play along at home.

So strap yourselves in, hit play and let’s ride!
