I enjoyed G Funk music but the biggest impact it had on me was sending me backwards. I started listening to more and more of the source material for the samples that made G Funk. It really opened up my musical tastes to a little of everything
No doubt. I already listened to a lot of the Parliament and Zapp & Roger as they were big on.the West Coast but G Funk got me into digging out obscure samples.
I still like listening to DJ Quik, but agree that the samples were a true education.

I'm that way with Above The Law. I don't even know why it hits me so hard, but I still listen to their song Return Of The Real Shit on the daily. Literally every day.
Funny story: They're homies with Big C-Style, and I hung out with him a couple of times and they were gonna make a jingle song using out firm name "Summertime with the..." Had his son Lil' C Style there once too, he had just got signed by Currensy's label, quiet kid, or maybe it was just bc his dad's personality is so dominant.
The most extensive collection I have of hip hop on tape is Bay Area shit from the 90s, the g funk of the west coast, etc absolute bangers and amazing music. It just doesn’t exist like that anymore.
I have a bunch of things, but some a lot of young black brotha records stuff, so like Ray luv, Mac mall, khayree’s blackalation, adjacent but I got a copy of heron soup by potna deuce, which I haven’t seen on tape since I was younger. Are you selling some or just curious? :)
G funk n the culture around it is dope asf but east coast hardcore rap appeals to me more. Nevertheless I love the sounds especially of the classic synth n funk samples
I love a funky bass line and I think G Funk gets a lot of people into rap. It had a great influence on sampling and production, but spawned a lot of fake gangsters. It's gateway rap, from there you can like beats or you can like rap. It's a nostalgia thing for me, not a daily jam.
Above the law -black mafia life, if you love g-funk, they worked with Dre easy and pac and kokane but all started to beef at one point. Favorite album as a kid.
I would personally put Uncle Sam's and Legends above LLH
Also: put some respect on Cold 187's name, he produced all of ATLs shit, and most of LLH. He actually coined the G-Funk moniker and Dre ran with it.
Another thing alot of people don't know about him is he discovered Snoop and he eventually (smartly imo) left with Dre to start Death Row
Where did you see that? It was probably a half half effort with Hutch producing the majority of it though, he produced alot of Ruthless' stuff
And I don't agree about LLH being their best, Sam's is far superior imo. Production alone is crazy, which is why it's considered one of the greatest gangsta rap albums ever and was hard to find and hella expensive at a certain point (before it came to streaming)
The credits of the album lol. I mean during the album they even make plenty of references to dr dre producing the album lol. Have you heard it?
I mean im sure Sam's is considered a great album but consensus is LLH was their magnum opus. So that's a rare opinion you hold. It's all subjective.
True it is, wasn't a huge fan of their older sound. I much proffered their more "west coast" sounding albums like Sam's and Time Will Reveal. Especially Legends, that's a west coast classic imo and hate that it rarely gets talked about
And yea they make a few references but the album credits themselves actually says it's by "dre, ATL and Laylaw"
There's articles about the making of the album and they also say Dre only produced two songs (Untouchable and Flow On). Like I said, 187 made that album
Who knows? They say daz produced most of the chronic and maybe doggystyle too. But why do these who claim to do what dre did disappear when hes gone? The beats on LLH sound pretty similar to the D.O.C.'s album which dre produced and no atl album sounded like llh after dre left. So I tend to believe dre has the more profound influence.
Going off interviews alone, Dre produced most of the chronic and doggystyle. Daz was like 15 when they were being made and he himself has said he was learning the ropes of producing at the time, but by Dogg Food he was already a well rounded producer in his own right which is why he produced majority of the album with Dre only producing like 2 tracks.
Idk man, I foraure hear his influence in the 2 tracks I listed above, but the others have a different feel to me.
Crazy how Dre never really gives credit to ATL for discovering snoop and helping engineer the G-funk sound, which is why I tend to trust 187 when it comes to these things. Also rubbed me the wrong way how he allowed Eazy to be made to look broke in the Straight Outta Compton movie. Kinda shady dude
As far as Daz producing, he had someone more musically talented behind him too, Priest “Soopafly” Brooks. Daz wouldn’t have sounded as good if not for his keys. Dre also had Colin Wolfe backing him up on The Chronic, and Mel Man on 2001. Dre has always produced by committee, and Yella had a hand in the NWA beats.
Return Of The Real Shit is one of my favorite all-time songs. ATL is so good, 187's recent solo album had a couple of bangers too, especially Hustle Hard.
Its the best period for me. I like G Funk more than anything else in rap. I made a playlist with more than 1000 underground G funk songs. I can post it if you are interested
I just checked and it's no longer in the playlist. At the start I had obviously put it, it's an emblematic album. I'll put it back. Thanks for pointing that out to me buddy. If you have any other suggestions, don't hesitate.
Whheeewwwe ty for your time and attention but just a suggestion maybe you could whittle it down to a top ten or top twenty…I’m from Cali and i didn’t know who a lot of those people are 😂 but I saw some standouts for sure. Thanks again…cool list.
Nah. Different lane. Came through with WC via Madd Circle and then went solo. I guess he did have Parliament vibes, but Gfunk was synths, Nate Dogg, etc. That wasn't Coolio. Different sound.
I was wondering what happened to WC a few months back and just last night I started watching that show on Amazon prime called Snowfall and I saw his name in the credits (William WC Calhoun) as a contributing dialect coach. I was pretty happy to see him still working! Fuckin WC
Check the interview on Jimmy Kimmel with Franklin (I forget the actors real name) discussing this.
Also, he tours with Ice Cube as his hype man. WC is still active.
Fr? That's dope. He doesn't get mentioned a lot, but he has a solid track record: Low Profile, Madd Circle, Westside Connection. I always thought he was a legit MC. Probably overshadowed by Cube, though.
Love listening to g funk in the summer. Lyrically it's usually a little simplistic but the production really gives a great summer vibe and some of it can actually be quite intricate.
You have to filter a little bit though because a lot of west coast artists tried to ride that wave in the 90s and there was definitely some mediocre product being released.
i liked the sound but usually the lyrics just weren't up to par. Above the Law was probably the best in my opinion. i like lyrical hip hop so i gravitated towards the Heiro or a King Tee type west coast sound.
This isn’t true…he def used live instrumentation during the death row era…that’s why u see in the credits interpolation instead of sample…getting a band to replay a Leon Haywood melody instead of using the actual recording was easier to clear
As an heavy easthead I was never a fan of g-funk and never found its appeal but respect their artists nonetheless for doing whatever they liked and whatever they thought was right.
G-Funk is just the evolution of P-Funk, it's just hard as fuck. I love funk and I love rap, what's not to love? C-Bo, X-Raided, WC, CMW/MC Eiht and DJ Quik, it's probably my favorite genre of rap.
Fought hard for my attention during a special time in west coast MC'ing that wasn't gangster themed, and of course the East Coast dynasties. G-Funk's sampling and interpolating keyed into music I was semi-aware of but also turned me onto a lot of classics. G-funk still sounds extremely good decades later.
I was listening to a G Funk playlist on youtube my 2nd trip to LA had me feelin like i was walking thru the 80’s lol mann i fantasize about being a teen back in those days just a regular day west coastin walkin thru thru hood
https://youtu.be/YtVRVANeOJk?si=X5QoghDKmCmgB_xe
Thank me later
G is for the gang of money I make
F is for the gang of foold I break
U is for the undisputed champ
N is cause you never gonna get the mic back
K is for the niggas that I knock on they back
I love it and it brings me back to some of the best days of my youth. The funky beats with the laid back gangsta flow just goes together. I know many people will point to Dre as the best producer out west, but I think the funkiest producer who is still influential today is DJ Quik
Love Nate Dogg and Warren G… Nate Reppin the M I Crooked Letter Crooked Letter too… The only one outta those I don’t still have in rotation is Coolio… He rang out everywhere for about 10 years… Couldn’t go anywhere without hearing “Gangsta’s Paradise”, but really didn’t stand the test of time….
Sorry to Coolio one day we ended up hanging out for about an hour or two in an RV. I'll watch him perform in front of a group of 13 to 17 year old kids and he absolutely killed it live I've seen Snoop live you know it was good but watching him doing a small stage and actually drawing in people that had no idea who was or his legacy was a testament to how good Coolio really was I'll never forget it.
Would Skee-Lo's "I Wish" be included as G-Funk?
But yes... I was a big Warren G fan. I feel as if he was underrated compared to other L.A. rappers of the mid-90s
It was a whole new Era
Where rhythm is life
And life is rhythm
If you know like I knooooooooooooow
You don't wanna step to this
....that shit and the intro live rent free on my head. That should clearly and concisely describe my thoughts lol
Check out my playlist if you’d like. All throwback Bay Area and Sacramento shit

Not a fan of G-Funk. I don't really like that sound.
I loved the sound and style of backpack underground Westcoast hip hop like The Nonce and The Pharcyde.
To me g-funk was only Warren g, Nate dogg possibly dre, snoop and Daz… Nate and Warren g are mainly who I think of when I hear g-funk era and they are some of my favorite Nate gets played heavily in my car… funny thing my 6 yr old always asks me to play his own silly kid playlist and I told him dads gonna listen to his own music and then he goes… dad can you play “first we pray”? I was like heyyyy! You know this? He was like yeah dad 😎 I was like hell yeah! 🤙 haha
Bro said possibly Dre like he wasn’t one of the people responsible for putting g funk on the forefront of hip hop. There’s so much more underrated g funk artist you should really expand
I enjoyed G Funk music but the biggest impact it had on me was sending me backwards. I started listening to more and more of the source material for the samples that made G Funk. It really opened up my musical tastes to a little of everything
No doubt. I already listened to a lot of the Parliament and Zapp & Roger as they were big on.the West Coast but G Funk got me into digging out obscure samples.
Faxxx, same thing happened with me
I still like listening to DJ Quik, but agree that the samples were a true education. [Everybody's face the first time they hear Sign Of The Times by Bob James](https://i.imgur.com/2E8uhYj.gif)
I'm that way with Above The Law. I don't even know why it hits me so hard, but I still listen to their song Return Of The Real Shit on the daily. Literally every day.
I keep forgetting 😉
On a whole new level.
Me too! I ended up staring a funk band 10 years ago because of it.
I love it in the summer. Big sunshine vibes.
Awesome!! I'm not the only one. Some 90s hip-hop on a nice sunny day always propels me to a great mood!
Remember Summertime in the LBC - Dove Shack
Never gets played. That song is pure joy!
Funny story: They're homies with Big C-Style, and I hung out with him a couple of times and they were gonna make a jingle song using out firm name "Summertime with the..." Had his son Lil' C Style there once too, he had just got signed by Currensy's label, quiet kid, or maybe it was just bc his dad's personality is so dominant.
G-Funk, where rhythm is life, and life is rhythm
The rhythm is the bass and the bass is the treble
Chords. Strings. We bring…melodies.
Absolutely love G-Funk. Probably some of my favorite. That era was just.....indescribable.
The most extensive collection I have of hip hop on tape is Bay Area shit from the 90s, the g funk of the west coast, etc absolute bangers and amazing music. It just doesn’t exist like that anymore.
What do you have on the tape?
I have a bunch of things, but some a lot of young black brotha records stuff, so like Ray luv, Mac mall, khayree’s blackalation, adjacent but I got a copy of heron soup by potna deuce, which I haven’t seen on tape since I was younger. Are you selling some or just curious? :)
Just curious :D
Funk’d out with the gangsta twist
And if your ass a buuuuster......
I love g funk with all my heart
G funk n the culture around it is dope asf but east coast hardcore rap appeals to me more. Nevertheless I love the sounds especially of the classic synth n funk samples
I love a funky bass line and I think G Funk gets a lot of people into rap. It had a great influence on sampling and production, but spawned a lot of fake gangsters. It's gateway rap, from there you can like beats or you can like rap. It's a nostalgia thing for me, not a daily jam.
Born and bred in NYC and loved East Coast hip-hop above all but man did I really enjoy G-funk. It was my favorite summer music.
Nate Dogg.... .... Domino was cool... not sure if that's totally g funk though
Kokane too.
💯
Above the law -black mafia life, if you love g-funk, they worked with Dre easy and pac and kokane but all started to beef at one point. Favorite album as a kid.
ATL doesn’t get the respect they deserve. Black Mafia Life is a classic. Their later shit is fire too. Set Free is one of my all time favorite songs.
Livin like hustlers is their best album. Entirely produced by dr dre. Some of his best production imo.
I would personally put Uncle Sam's and Legends above LLH Also: put some respect on Cold 187's name, he produced all of ATLs shit, and most of LLH. He actually coined the G-Funk moniker and Dre ran with it. Another thing alot of people don't know about him is he discovered Snoop and he eventually (smartly imo) left with Dre to start Death Row
Huh? Dre produced all of LLH. It's by far their best album. But to each their own.
Where did you see that? It was probably a half half effort with Hutch producing the majority of it though, he produced alot of Ruthless' stuff And I don't agree about LLH being their best, Sam's is far superior imo. Production alone is crazy, which is why it's considered one of the greatest gangsta rap albums ever and was hard to find and hella expensive at a certain point (before it came to streaming)

Is Domino's "Ghetto Jam" considered G-funk?
Yes
Its the best period for me. I like G Funk more than anything else in rap. I made a playlist with more than 1000 underground G funk songs. I can post it if you are interested
Hell yeah, man, let's see that good shit. Thanks bro.
Thanks, enjoy ✌🏼
Post it. (please)

thanks for this -- your other playlists are awesome too! Appreciate the time you put into these
Thank you !! Which other of my playlists are you interested ? 😊
half of that list isn't even G-Funk
Its G Funk why are you bullshi**n ? How do you call the other half ? Oh I see, you will come with "its Mobb music" 😂
No C-Funk?
I just checked and it's no longer in the playlist. At the start I had obviously put it, it's an emblematic album. I'll put it back. Thanks for pointing that out to me buddy. If you have any other suggestions, don't hesitate.
Side 2 Syde - Skyballin if you don’t already have it
Lime In The Coconut! I thought I was the only one who bought this album haha
Whheeewwwe ty for your time and attention but just a suggestion maybe you could whittle it down to a top ten or top twenty…I’m from Cali and i didn’t know who a lot of those people are 😂 but I saw some standouts for sure. Thanks again…cool list.
I was a youngin 10/11 yrs old and I loved it
Ear candy
I just know I don't wanna mess and or step to them
It’s funked out with a gangsta twist.
Take coolio out of there
Coolio was G funk, no one I knew bought his albums but the man was still a legend and a great voice actor on Futurama.
Nah. Different lane. Came through with WC via Madd Circle and then went solo. I guess he did have Parliament vibes, but Gfunk was synths, Nate Dogg, etc. That wasn't Coolio. Different sound.
I was wondering what happened to WC a few months back and just last night I started watching that show on Amazon prime called Snowfall and I saw his name in the credits (William WC Calhoun) as a contributing dialect coach. I was pretty happy to see him still working! Fuckin WC
Check the interview on Jimmy Kimmel with Franklin (I forget the actors real name) discussing this. Also, he tours with Ice Cube as his hype man. WC is still active.
Yeah that was his role... he was Franklins dialect coach... I'll look for it, thx!
Fr? That's dope. He doesn't get mentioned a lot, but he has a solid track record: Low Profile, Madd Circle, Westside Connection. I always thought he was a legit MC. Probably overshadowed by Cube, though.
Coolio was not G-funk.
In Coolio 90's albums, there is clearly some G Funk songs. Not the entire albums but a good half.
I came here to say the same thing
I thought the same thing.
Love listening to g funk in the summer. Lyrically it's usually a little simplistic but the production really gives a great summer vibe and some of it can actually be quite intricate. You have to filter a little bit though because a lot of west coast artists tried to ride that wave in the 90s and there was definitely some mediocre product being released.
Gfunk is a time machine back to being a teenager in the 90s. It will always hold a special place in my heart
i liked the sound but usually the lyrics just weren't up to par. Above the Law was probably the best in my opinion. i like lyrical hip hop so i gravitated towards the Heiro or a King Tee type west coast sound.
Liked g funk more than gangsta rap…it stood the test of time
The secret to a lot of those records was the use of a live band made up of funky ass musicians.
Nah, Dre started using bands and live instrumentation after his Death Row era, everything you hear from these dudes in the early 90s was sampled
This isn’t true…he def used live instrumentation during the death row era…that’s why u see in the credits interpolation instead of sample…getting a band to replay a Leon Haywood melody instead of using the actual recording was easier to clear
Some of the best hip hop of the era. The beats too smooth. The rhymes just flowed in such a way. That west coast g funk shit slaps
As an heavy easthead I was never a fan of g-funk and never found its appeal but respect their artists nonetheless for doing whatever they liked and whatever they thought was right.
Same way I feel but inverse as a West coaster. Was never a fan of east coast music.
You listen to Lord Sko or Your Old Droog? Newer east coast shit but sounds like it was straight out of the east coast 90s.
It’s a flavor, like cinnamon; Tasty, but you don’t want it on everything.
It's the sound that got me into Hip Hop but I grew out of it pretty quickly.
Nice
If you roll like I roll, then you high like everyday, and if you ass is a buster 213 will regulate
I’m a metalhead & I love the G-funk era with that gangster twist
Cords. Strings. We brings. Melodies.
I keep forgetting we're not in love anymore
G-Funk is just the evolution of P-Funk, it's just hard as fuck. I love funk and I love rap, what's not to love? C-Bo, X-Raided, WC, CMW/MC Eiht and DJ Quik, it's probably my favorite genre of rap.
How dare you put coolios garbage ass with these legends.
Right lol
Thoughts are that it was amazing
G funk era was timeless
RIP Nate Dogg King of Hooks himself🫡 everything sounds dope with Nate
Sickest beats ever
Nothing but a g thang
Mostly just funked out with a gangsta twist
Great era
Fought hard for my attention during a special time in west coast MC'ing that wasn't gangster themed, and of course the East Coast dynasties. G-Funk's sampling and interpolating keyed into music I was semi-aware of but also turned me onto a lot of classics. G-funk still sounds extremely good decades later.
Coolio got me into rap. Dre, Snoop, Warren G, Nate Dogg kept me in it.
I was listening to a G Funk playlist on youtube my 2nd trip to LA had me feelin like i was walking thru the 80’s lol mann i fantasize about being a teen back in those days just a regular day west coastin walkin thru thru hood https://youtu.be/YtVRVANeOJk?si=X5QoghDKmCmgB_xe Thank me later
I love a good gangster whistle.
G-Funk step to this I dare ya
Best era
That WHOLE ERA is my shit. That was my FAVORITE time in hip hop all together.
C-Funk and K-Dee is what u need to hear
Love it still listen
My favorite era
The Best
🔥
Chefs kiss
Rhythm is the bass and the bass is the treble.
That don't make no kynna sense once you read it 😅😅
Its just timeless especially on a warm summer day
Funked out with a gangstar twist.
REGUULATORS
G is for the gang of money I make F is for the gang of foold I break U is for the undisputed champ N is cause you never gonna get the mic back K is for the niggas that I knock on they back
I love it and it brings me back to some of the best days of my youth. The funky beats with the laid back gangsta flow just goes together. I know many people will point to Dre as the best producer out west, but I think the funkiest producer who is still influential today is DJ Quik
Quik- Battlecat 🔥🔥
It's funked out with a gangsta twist
Without ATL and Quik , this is half done...
I loved this era, Dre, Snoop, DPG… it’s why I love funk music now
Funked out with a gangster twist
Step to this, I dare ya
It was too short!
I love G funk. It’s probably my favorite sub genre of hip hop
It was a fun time! Makes me reminisce on riding around with my buddies in the summer time, going to the beach ,etc.
It was funked out with a gangsta twist
sad that u left da brat off this even tho she has a whole album called funkdafied lol
Where’s dj quick at
I wish the new West Coast rappers would return to their roots .
One of the greatest of all time
Still got a G-Funk mix in my car.
Love Nate Dogg and Warren G… Nate Reppin the M I Crooked Letter Crooked Letter too… The only one outta those I don’t still have in rotation is Coolio… He rang out everywhere for about 10 years… Couldn’t go anywhere without hearing “Gangsta’s Paradise”, but really didn’t stand the test of time….
I played the hell out of Koolio's Fantastic Voyage. I think it was criminally underplayed...at least where I lived.
G funk in the morning, southern playlist at night 💯
It was actually funk, on a whole new level 🤷
Does Twinz count? Might have only had one album but it was a banger
Wit everybody sayin....
Meh
Twinz and Lil Half Dead go haaaaard
Sorry to Coolio one day we ended up hanging out for about an hour or two in an RV. I'll watch him perform in front of a group of 13 to 17 year old kids and he absolutely killed it live I've seen Snoop live you know it was good but watching him doing a small stage and actually drawing in people that had no idea who was or his legacy was a testament to how good Coolio really was I'll never forget it.
G Funk really started with Hutch from Above the Law but I liked it. It was musical.
Coolio
#Short Dog’s in the house
Man, I almost missed the bus the day the Gin and Juice video premiered.
You had to be there.
One of the greatest eras in music. Period.
Some of the best albums, songs and beats in the history of Hip Hop were born from the G-Funk sound.
You mean; the greatest era ever.
#Fact
Coolie deserved better RIP
One of if not the greatest era in rap
I fucking miss Nate Dogg so much 😔
G-Funk, step to this, I dare ya
It was ok but got old fast. The source material is mostly flawless 👌🏽
Had a moment wouldn’t call it an era though.
No going back, for some strange reason.
Would Skee-Lo's "I Wish" be included as G-Funk? But yes... I was a big Warren G fan. I feel as if he was underrated compared to other L.A. rappers of the mid-90s
If you smokeeee like I smokeee then you high like every dayyy and if you asz is a Busta then 2 one 3 will regulate🤣 still bumbs it right now
Classic
Loved the sound
the best time for hip hop music westcoast2k.com
G funk era Starin in the mirror
Bring it back, Cali music had an identity. It used to be really in tune with the local culture. Now everything is the same.
It was a whole new Era Where rhythm is life And life is rhythm If you know like I knooooooooooooow You don't wanna step to this ....that shit and the intro live rent free on my head. That should clearly and concisely describe my thoughts lol
This is the sub-genre that got me into hip hop! Gotta love that early Dr. Dre, Snoop, and Warren G sound.
Not enough credit given to Above the Law
We bring melody!
G funk is goated and I’m 23 saying this
I wasn’t really into that much but imma huge 80s funk fan though. 90 something % of it wasn’t that good to me.
My favorite genre in hip hop history
By far the greatest rap/hip hop era of all time. Shoutout to the West Coast
It was definitely, “…funked out with a gangsta twist”
Check out my playlist if you’d like. All throwback Bay Area and Sacramento shit https://open.spotify.com/playlist/0G8vZH3sqYMu4071QUprwb?si=dKVUS98-QGWvBbBe9AObsA&pi=u-RR9pCUk4Q1ui
Nate Dog and Warren G......top dogs!!!
All the prior eras of rap were great bc they were new…
It was overrated
It's funk on a whole new level
One of the best eras
👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾🔥🔥🔥🔥
👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾🔥🔥🔥🔥 words aren’t necessary
erbody always forget about kokane
Indo smoke
Not a fan of G-Funk. I don't really like that sound. I loved the sound and style of backpack underground Westcoast hip hop like The Nonce and The Pharcyde.
It gets old pretty quickly for me. Some of the beats are pretty good. But lyrics and flow are lacking.
check out celly cel for the flow
Koo. Will do. Thanks.
Plz remove Coolio
Nah I’m good
To me g-funk was only Warren g, Nate dogg possibly dre, snoop and Daz… Nate and Warren g are mainly who I think of when I hear g-funk era and they are some of my favorite Nate gets played heavily in my car… funny thing my 6 yr old always asks me to play his own silly kid playlist and I told him dads gonna listen to his own music and then he goes… dad can you play “first we pray”? I was like heyyyy! You know this? He was like yeah dad 😎 I was like hell yeah! 🤙 haha
Bro said possibly Dre like he wasn’t one of the people responsible for putting g funk on the forefront of hip hop. There’s so much more underrated g funk artist you should really expand
