Essential G-Funk records?

[Quadruple OG]

I have noticed a couple of people on this topic mention Dove Shack-This Is the Shack. Do you guys really like that album or do you just mention them because they were affiliated witth Warren G?  To me This is the Shack is wack as fuck and I don't even really consider it a g-funk album.  When this album came out I was dissapointed as hell with it.  I thought it was gonna be like The Twinz album,  but it wasn't at all.  And I think Warren G only produced 1 song on this whole album.

I think that's the case with some of the people on here.  IMO they are overrated and I think Def Jam realized that too after the album didn't sell that well. "Summertime in the LBC" is a little bit overrated by west coast rap fans because of the shack's affiliation with Warren G.

Back to the topic though, here are some essential G-Funk records

Foesum "Perfection"
Warren G "Regulate"
Twinz "Conversation"
Both Lil' Half Dead albums
Domino "Domino"

and fuck it, I'll throw these two in the hat

Da Brat "Funkdafied"
Kriss Kross "Young Rich and Dangerous"

these albums were made at a time JD was biting the G-Funk sound hard, and besides Erick Sermon (who should be given a little bit of credit for establishing the sound for artists out east), he was THE best at copying the G-Funk vibe.  'Tonite's the Nite" by Kriss Kross would be considered a West Coast Classic if that beat was rocked by West Coast artists. 

[Eddie G.]

A lot of good ones have been mentioned already, here's a couple more.  But MAKE SURE you check out Twinz - Conversation, that's the tightest G Funk album ever IMO.

Too Short - Get In Where You Fit In
Bookie - Stressin
Nate Dogg - G Funk Classics
Warren G - Return Of The Regulator
WC - The Shadiest One (more of a hard funk)
E-40 - In A Major Way
E-40 - The Hall Of Game
Celly Cel - Killa Kali
B-Legit - Hempin Ain't Easy
B-Legit - Hemp Museum
Soopafly - Dat Whoopty Woop
Dubee - AKA Sugawolf

And besides the obvious Chronic and Doggystyle, Black Mafia Life by Above the Law is dope, as well as Regulate by Warren G and Conversation by the Twinz.

dude hush up.. you said the same thing about king tee's - thy kingdom come.. maybe its you who has the wack taste in music, because both the albums are dope as fuck... its true that warren only produced the one track on the album, but what does that matter?  the only time warrens name is mentioned is in the the "thanks yous" so wasnt asif they tried to push the album under his name and credentials...
