Always lookin' forward to hearin' new music from Warren. I hope he can come up with a "updated" sound of G-Funk like he did with "The Return Of The Regulator".

Why does gfunk have to be a 90s sound? And if gfunk is a 90s sound, Is rap an 80s sound??

Detox Is A Myth!!!

Why have a 90's sound when we are in 2013?

Because a 90s sound is better than a 2013 sound.  We want this to sound as best as it can.
"Detox" is a myth -- Bigfoot, Loch Ness Monster, Area 51, Iraq having WMD, Detox...you get it now?  It was invented by the Aftermath marketing department to maintain the fans' attention.  Notice how everytime a new Aftermath album is ready to come out, they always mention Detox is next up?  Because they are using the invention of "Detox" as a way to market other albums.  The sooner you realize that Detox is NOT REAL, the sooner you'll feel liberated.  Oh yeah, f.u. Aftermath for fooling us fans.

I meant as in a modern-retro style.  I think it can be pulled off - so long as it's laid back and chilled, not up tempo or club style.

 :o







these fools don't understand music.  all u need is a good sample, a good filter, some sine-synths, a turntable for some scratching couped up with some hooks, laid-back raps over laid back beats (most chill, some dark, some happy), and there u have a G-Funk Album.



Feature:

Pimp C
Snoop
Nate
Rage
Daz
Kurupt
The Twinz
Mac Lucci
Nipsey Hussle
Bishop Lamont




and call it a day

People seem to be overthinking this.  I think he's going the right route with an EP, stressing quality over quantity.  It doesn't need a shit ton of features.  I don't care if it's not the traditional G-Funk, as long as it's good music and feels inspired.

Good music and INSPIRATION are definitely key but Formula is just as important too. 


U need inspiration and formula to make good music, if not great music. 





Warren G is one of those Artist who don't need to be stepping too far out of his lane when it comes to making music.  Doing something different for somebody like him should be a Jazz & Rn'B Rap album with alot of singing and alot of Jazz that's on some old skool jazz shit.

I would agree with that to a certain extent.  I think he's capable of stepping outside his comfort zone but he needs to be inspired. On the other end, if he's not feeling the G-Funk formula, sleepwalking through retro 90's production isn't the answer.  I'm a big fan of music that has fresh production but invokes a certain nostalgia.  I found Just Blaze to be pretty good at that as was Kanye, a few albums back.  Even when he was doing that all autotune album, there was a certain soul to it.

here u go.  it is what it is.  Warren G IS G-Funk, as is Snoop Dogg.  The only difference is that Snoop could actually pull off songs (some) that weren't G-Funkish (as in everything G-Funk)... Warren on tha other hand...... can u imagine Warren G on a track like this?:


<a href="http://www.youtube.com/v/n5mq6fRBdl8" target="_blank" class="new_win">http://www.youtube.com/v/n5mq6fRBdl8</a>



Honestly, no shade, You need to understand Hip Hop Music a little more before u cast out thoughts like that.  Ironically, Warren & them gave birth to niggaz like Jeezy.






I gotta young whiteboy homie named Danny that's 15 talkin about he loves Rappers for what they were good at doin in tha first place instead of them crossin over and it had NOTHING to do with him trying to make me happy or show me he knew what he was talking about when it came to Hip Hop or Black Culture.


ALOTTA Veterans make the mistake of trying to "please" the young audience by switching up when in reality the young audience ALREADY loved them for what they were doing in the first place.  And that has nothing to do with Danny or his testimony but trust me when I say he's one of many.



Warren just doesn't have the ear or heart for some shit like this.  He's better off sticking to what he do best.

But there's also a middle ground too. Not every artist is versatile at every style but that doesn't mean they should only stick to one. I think if you can't cross over to some extent and try different things, you're dead as an artist anyway. Music should be about expression.  To use life as an example, nobody likes the guy or girl who is in their 30's and act like they are still in high school.  On the flip side of the coin, nobody likes older people in their 50's and older who just stay to the same routine for the rest of their life until they die.  You need to learn new things, grow, and adapt.  People admire the individuals who take chances because there are so few of them. With music, I am tired of artists who have been around for 20 years who have nothing new to say just putting out albums to put them out.  An old rapper who makes uninspired retro records because his fans want it ain't that much different from a new rapper who just bites what's hot to try and have a career.  They're both just taking up space in an overcrowded marketplace.

Or maybe you need to stop thinkin you're still 15 years old and know what's good when it comes to music.  How about u grow up and just dig good music for being good music.  



Nobody said anything about an Artist staying tha same (whatever that means).  Becuz it sounds like u have a 1-deminsional view of Rap Music and can't separate 1 gun song from the next gun song.  Becuz I can separate Project Pat's "North North Part 2" from "Aggravated Robbery" with no problem.

and maybe you need to stop acting like you're some official in the music and the culture and just play your position....!
