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.
cold 187um started g funk.

or so he claims

the creation of an entire genre cannot be credited to one person.
true but g funk was mentioned on an above the law record before a dr. dre record.

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.)

no one mentioned "effil4zaggin"? i credit that as bein an essential in the development of g-funk

not really...only a few g funk songs on there



another classic is Assassin  "Armed N Dangerouz"   it has guest appearances from Cougnut (RIP), RBL Posse, San Quinn, Venom, D-mac (RIP), X Raided, Brotha Lynch Hung, Sh'killa, Gangsta Dee, Shock G, Cisco, Levetti, Guce and Young Life

and the best intro ever  8)




"hitworks volume 1" has a sick intro too.
