3.  G Funk Era -  Warren G
4.  Dogg Food - Dogg Pound
5.  Twinz - Conversation
6.  Dove Shack - This is The Shack
7.  Take A Look Over Your Shoulder - Warren G
8.  G Funk Classics - Nate Dogg

^^^ Those are all classic albums.  The Dove Shack album is very sloppy with some of the worst skits, but it's a hell of a G Funk album.

hahaha if Mr. 3-2 - wicked buddah baby or Boo - The Boss Player or 44 Clique - Mindofa44 is not g-funk albums so what is it and they from south?
there are many more g-funk albums from the south and they one of the best g-funk albums just after the SoCal
UNLV's "uptown 4 life - loool at calling that album g-funk, this perfect example of bounce and has not much to do with g-funk.
First album from Outkast (SOuth) is more g-funk that this.

whos haiting im just stating facts -  maybe the best form The North California but certainly not from the whole west period

you clearly don't know what you're talking about son... there was a HUGE G-Funk scene in the South in the mid-90's, and that UNLV album isn't even G-Funk and ain't even close to be the best shit Cash Money put out. Mike Dean, NO Joe and them have produced some of the finest G-Funk songs, not to mention T-Mix at Suave House, Mannie Fresh, Precise at Big Boy Records.

Houston, New Orleans, Memphis, Baton Rouge and even Atlanta put out classic G-Funk albums in the 90's.

by the way Assassin's music is not even G-Funk, it's Mobb music, and it ain't even that essential compared to all the classics that Bay Area artists dropped at the same period. still dope as fuck though but lol @ calling him one of the best producers from Nor Cal when you have Ant Banks, Studio Ton, E-A Ski, Tone Capone, K-Lou, Mike Mosley & Sam Bostic, G-Man Stan, Johnny Z and T.C. from Frisco (and some other) who have all way deeper catalogues full of classics.

as for classic G-Funk albums, people have provided complete lists, I'll add some of my favorite G-Funk records

Menace Clan - Da Hood
Kausion - South Central Los Skanless
K-Dee - Ass, Gas or Cash, No One Rides for Free
Havoc & Prode'je - Kickin Game
The D.E.E.P. - Parlayin'
Gospel Gangstaz - Do or Die


as much as I love Nate Dogg's G-Funk Classics, I wouldn't put it in a G-Funk essentials list, for the simple fact that it doesn't sound like G-Funk really and it's an acquired state, not like instant classic G-Funk.

unless g funk is all your listening too and if thats the case you should make it essential listening to listen to all the music that was used to sample on those albums.

I agree with you but that's not the point of the topic

IMO here we're not speaking from a hip-hop point of view, the point is not to assess what G-Funk album was the most influential in the history of hip-hop, or what G-Funk album you need to have in order to understand the evolution of the movement. the point is more to give a list of G-Funk albums that knock from front to back. what album you will like if you like pure G-Funk, and in that case there are many that I prefer over The Chronic even though The Chronic had the most impact. It's like talking about genre movies.

To me, one of the very best G-Funk albums is Conversation. That's Warren G best produced album, well above G-Funk era in my opinion, and it helps that Warren G doesn't rap on it and sticks to production and hooks (his hooks are always dope imo).

it's of course essential to listen to the music used to sample G-Funk but it's very different though and I get those who don't like P-Funk that much and are G-Funk fans (not my case). because Hip-Hop is a more self-contained genre, the structure is way simpler, usually 16 bar verse, 8 bar chorus, a loop and some drums, sometimes a bridge. the talent of the producer is to find a dope loop and to flip it. and you might like that part of the sampled song but not necessary like the musical direction of the entire song. for example I love Tyrone Davis's in the mood, but I think the way DJ Slip flipped it for Eiht, or the way Ant Banks flipped it for Cube & Short is way doper, I'm not too fond of the chorus for example. Same thing for UGK's It's Supposed to Bubble, the way Pimp C sampled it and added banging kicks, and added a stunning piano solo at the very end make it that I prefer it over Passion's Thoughts of an Old Flame musical direction, although both the original songs are musically superior, it's just that I'm not fond of the evolution of the melody in those songs. Another example for me is the loop used on Jayo Felony's Sherm Stick, sampling Teddy Pendergrass's Come Go With Me. That loop is grimey as fuck, I love it, and I love that part in the original song, but the way it shifts after that and the melody teddy sings, I don't really like. the reason I love hip-hop is the ability to sample just a bit of a song to create something that can be totally different from the original and which in a way explores new possibilities about a melody that the original artist hadn't thought of or didn't feel like doing.

you are mistaken, Mac Mall is featured on their 3rd album (or fourth if we're couting "listen to the lyrics"), Sittin' On Top of the World. They just did one songs with them though, most of that Suave House shit was in house, and sounded G-Funk to the fullest. South Circle, Mr Mike (some songs produced by E-A Ski), Space Age Pimpin' is one of the best G-Funk tracks ever.

UGK had G-Funk albums, listen to Super Tight, most of the songs sound G-Funk (meshed with UGK's own style) : Supposed to Bubble, Fedz in Town, Protect and Serve, Three Sixteens, Pussy Make Me Dizzy and that's already half of the album. And they reached out to West Coast artists early on in their careers, on Supertight (1994) alone, Pimp C shouts out WC (I Left It Wet For You) and Spice 1 (Fedz In Town), as well as DPG (on the radio version of It's Supposed to Bubble). In the back cover of Supertight, you can see a E-40 poster. Not to mention they were mentored by Too $hort and did a feature with him on It's Alright (Dangerous Ground soundtrack). On Ridin' Dirty, Pimp C shouts out B-Legit, Studio Ton (Murder), and on the outro, he shouts out a LOT of west coast cats like E-40, Too $hort, Goldy, Spice 1, DJ X-Tra Large & G-Nut (187 Fac), C-Bo (one of Pimp C's favorite rappers).

that goes only for southwest artists though. cause Jive had legendary artists like ATCQ and they weren't networking too much. but yeah Jive is a legendary label. they were kinda shady though (ask ATCQ and UGK lol), but then again, what label wasn't shady in the 90's ?

doesn't matter, that album was the beginning..shit helped pioneer g-funk and that was when dre first developed that sound (or co-developed, depending on how u look at it)...i remember the ol school poster mellowman once argued that it was basically the album which introduced rap to g-funk. duno if i'd go that far, but it's definitely in essential.

that could be part of it, but if u listen to"efil4zaggin", it has a lot of that signature "chronic" sound.....it's where dre really started developing that style.

so are you saying 2pac started G Funk because he was the first to ever mention the term "G funk" on record in 1992?

there are no g funk albums really in the history of hip hop that are essential except for maybe chronic and doggystyle and some dont count the chronic as g funk


unless g funk is all your listening too and if thats the case you should make it essential listening to listen to all the music that was used to sample on those albums.

 Another example for me is the loop used on Jayo Felony's Sherm Stick, sampling Teddy Pendergrass's Come Go With Me. That loop is grimey as fuck, I love it, and I love that part in the original song, but the way it shifts after that and the melody teddy sings, I don't really like. the reason I love hip-hop is the ability to sample just a bit of a song to create something that can be totally different from the original and which in a way explores new possibilities about a melody that the original artist hadn't thought of or didn't feel like doing.
This song also samples Come Go With Me, check it out. (The chorus makes reference to the sample and it's produced by DJ BattleCat.)
