What Was The First G-Funk Song?

[Dre-Day]

vocally pimpin was supposedly g-funk, but always into something came out even before that. and i always thought the formula sounded like g-funk. but forreal, vocally pimpin and black mafia life are trash records compared to the chronic. always into something and 187 are much batter than any song off either of the atl records too. you might technically call what atl was doing at the time g funk, but in all honesty, it sounds nothing like the chronic

yeah NWA's album came out in May of 1991 while ATL's came out a few months later

but if you ask Big Hutch he will tell you who invented it

and dre mixed kokane's first album (under the Who am i name).

[Quadruple OG]

Surprised no one has mentioned "The Formula" by DOC

Came out 2 years before "Efil4zaggin" and 4 years before "Black Mafia Life". Just saying...

[Tutlock]

the sound been around for years so the real question would be who invented the term G-Funk

cool

[dnjp4life]

gangsta gangsta and dopeman

how is this hard to realize?

They may have contained the whiny synth that is a trademark of the genre, but these 2 tracks are not explicitly g-funk in my opinion.

[Sir Petey]

those songs sound more like what public enemy was trying to do back then.


it qualifies as gangsta rap but definitely not g funk hackster.

[bouli77]

gangsta gangsta doesn't sound quite like public enemy, it has that groovy guitar that doesn't sound necessarily g-funk but definitely funk to the fullest and kinda defined the dominant "west coast sound" where the beat was musical and as important as the flow and the lyrics when before the instrumental just served the purpose of setting a backdrop against which a rapper could spit. i'd say it was one or two steps before g-funk as we know it
