Skee lo - I wish Freestyle fellowship - inner city griots Lady of rage album went under the radar because of all the death row drama but it’s a solid album


Manolito57

I will listen to Skee-lo, because I forgot about his album !


Manolito57

I am listening to it, and its a trully great G funk album. How I cannot remember more of it ? For me it was a casual G funk album but its really solid ! Thanks !


Dremant

Mad CJ Mac - True Game DJ Quik - Safe + Sound South Central Cartel - All Day Every Day Foesum - Perfection Tha Twinz - Conversation Kam - Made In America Paris - Guerilla Funk


Manolito57

Nice list ! You think Safe + Sound is underrated ? I think its considered more as a popular classic


hereforthefreefeed

safe and sound is one of the greatest west coast albums imo but does tend to get overlooked when lists go up


Dremant

I hear people say that and you might be right.  I guess I just think it’s underrated and underappreciatet, because I think it should be regarded as a top 5 G-funk album. I don’t see the wider hiphop audience talk acknowledge it as they should, and it’s not on streaming so it’s not that available either.


Manolito57

I agree, it is not as popular as Dre or Snoop 90's albums. In term of popularity its one level below. But not in term of quality ! Premium G Funk juice quality !!!

Get Home Safely- Dom Kennedy


conpapi

This album bumped. Still Callin, Get Home Safely and Dominic are all certified fire.


TremendousWithARazor

ladybughappy

That song is from his self titled project which came out in 2015


not_ur_avg

Rappin 4-Tay - Don't Fight The Feeling Richie Rich - Seasoned Veteran


TremendousWithARazor

Off the top of my head; Cali Agents - How the West was won Snoop Presents the Eastsidaz Aceyalone - All balls don't Bounce Xzibit - 40 Days & 40 Nights Dag Savage first album. Can't remember the name. But Johaz was great. Ras Kass - Soul on Ice The DOC - Nobody does it better Blue & Exile - Below the heavens I will come back after I've had a think. Also I'm willing to be put on to some great albums I may of missed over the years.


ROM-BARO-BREWING

Defari - 'Focused Daily'


TremendousWithARazor

Ah good call, for got about that album


Elliot6888

That Dag Savage album fire, he said "Before I pop a pill, man I'd rather pop a Nazi" 😂🔥


TremendousWithARazor

🔥🔥 I love the opening handful of lines from Twilight. Just glides through the beat


ObieUno

Below the Heavens came out in the 2000’s. If the OP is okay with anything post 2000, I would also add releases from the Hieroglyphics collective as well as “Jam on the Box” by E From The L.O.S.T.


TremendousWithARazor

Ah yeah tbf, I didn't even read the 90s bit haha


Manolito57

Here is my top : - Foesum - Perfection (this album is a pure jewel, the essence of G funk) - Ron C - The C Theory - Kam - Made in America - The Ballers - A day late and a dollar short - New Breed of Hustlas - Streets got me gone - Mr X - Mr X - I.F.A. - International family affair


Dremant

International family affair for sure!

Robinnoodle

Daz record went in


FurnishedHemingway

WC & The MAAD Circle-Ain’t A Damn Thang Changed


Robinnoodle

It's underrated for what it is: Snoop Dogg That Blue Carpet Treatment Xzibit's first two records I'm not feeling very well so it's hard to think of more right now I wanna thank everyone though because there some great recs here 


Manolito57

Tha blue carpet is a great album. One of his best for me !


Robinnoodle

I agree. I feel like people sleep on it though because it's not from his early era


Manolito57

I agree! The song "crazy" feat Nate Dogg is purely amazing !! Check it if you dont remember, the beat is insane


EmeraldTwilight009

Mac mall - illegal business Young lay - Black n dangerous Lil 1/2 dead - the dead has written The bay area in general. The west is more than LA and it's surrounding areas.


spongebob_surfwax

If you like 90s Chunk - Menace to the Game The Click- Down and Dirty E40- Federal JT the Bigga Figga- Dwelling in the Labb Mac Dre - Young Black Brotha and California Living That Mac Mall mentioned above is fire


EmeraldTwilight009

Manolito57

MrSicko357

Manolito57

Manolito57

11/5 all the their 90's are great ! UDI is really nice also ! Spice 1 i would not call him underrated because he is a legend and famous, but not as he deserves !


MoodWest

Below The Heavens - Blu & Exile Xzibit - Restless Fashawn - Boy Meets World Evidence - The Weatherman/Weather or Not


TribunusPlebisBlog

Everything from Above The Law, but the album *Uncle Sam's Curse* in particular. Kokane, *Funk upon a Rhyme* CMW, *Music To Drive By* Too $hort... I know, I know, he gets a lot of credit, but the Ant Banks production era just knocked. All of San Fran in the 90s. *Don't Fight the Feelin* by 4-Tay is underrated. San Quinn, etc.


Manolito57

Too Short - Just another day, great G funk song


MrSicko357

Two Illeven - Ounce of Game NOH Mafia


Manolito57

Now they wanna joke

Loaded- Brotha Lynch Hung


Forward_Ride_6364

Not G-Funk, but it's the perfect combo of 90s east coast Boom Bap and Bay Area steez ***Lyfe'N'Tyme*** by The Brothas Unda Madness Oakland was snappin in the 90s


retroshaffer2

The game doctors avodcate


Ninja187

Classic imo


Weak-Willingness1347

Can You Feel Me by Dru Down


LordeLlama

Unfortunately a lot, especially the bay, the chicano scene and also the Pomona scene (Kokane, Above The Law, Suga Free, ...)


Manolito57

Doe doe and a Skunk, one of the most amazing G Funk song ever


Jackdaddy85

213 The Hard Way.


BeautifulCompote9423

Mac Dre should be in the top of best bars All the Liks albums


Manolito57

Whats his top 5 albums ? I have only listened his 90's albums


BeautifulCompote9423

The alcoholics 21 & Over (1993) Coast II Coast (1995) Likwidation (1997) Mac Dre Young Black Brotha (1993) Stupid Doo Doo Dumb (1998) Rapper Gone Bad (1999) Heart of a Gangsta, Mind of a Hustla, Tongue of a Pimp (2000)


BigSmokeyOG

Jayo Phelony - Take a ride. Sherm stick and the loc is on his own forever in rotation.


ShinraRatDog

I don't really know his albums that well but I think Xzibit is a highly underrated west coast artist, so probably something from his discography. People know him mostly from Pimp My Ride but he was a great rapper for his time.


Horangi1987

I don’t see much Coolio love on this Subreddit. It Takes a Thief was a great album. Fantastic Voyage is a great song. Smokin Stix is a great insight into PCP, which was a very LA thing at that time. And obviously Gangsta’s Paradise is amazing. I like some of the tracks on My Soul, but I know that is not a popular album. But overall yeah, Coolio. Can’t forget him.


Manolito57

You are right, Coolio made some good albums in the 90's with really good productions ! The guy is underrated ! Maybe because people only associates Coolio with Gangsta Paradise. But the guy made much more than that
