Funny. lol

That was part of the west coast traditional sound aside, the winey hi-pitched synths. though producers like Hutch, Dre etc.. fight for credit on who started those sounds, it came from the original funk era (P-Funk, Bootsy and 70's all that.

The G-Funk era is nothing more then a Derived of the P-Funk Era. The difference is they just slowed the tempo If I remember correctly. But aint nothing about the G-Funk Era is original, its just a combination of a variety of different scenes to form a new sound.

and @ the OP, The GTA San Andres Theme uses one in the beginning also. that and the synth were my favorite elements of the old school sound.  8)

Is the version with the intro actually "official"? I remember Tha Crip hookin' up a "remastered" version of "Been There, Done That" that had that intro.

I think it's just a blend.
