What is El Dog?
1.
A Cadillac Eldorado, in gangsta-speak. A preferred car of the pimp, especially those models produced from 1971-1978. Pimped-out Eldorados are featured in the blacksploitation films Superfly (1972), The Mack (1973), and Willie Dynamite (1974). Much coveted today, these Eldorados were equipped with the largest V8 ever used in a production car, a 8.2 L (500 in³) engine.
"All the triflin’ bitches in my hood smoked moes
And all the real gangsta ass niggas rolled vogues
Dropped Monte Carlos, El dogs and Caddy coupes
Firin’ up fry flaggin’ hoes out the roof"
- Geto Boys
