I mean he's still getting a lot of props in the industry and is seen as a legend but few really realize and acknowledge his producing skills...not slept-on, very aknowledged by hiphop-fans in general as a producer,, hes not up there wit Pete or Primo, but his name holds weight,EPMD has a huge fanbase to this day, and is ingraved in hiphop-history forever. songs like "So what u sayin" was like a slap in the face when it came out but yeah,, i dont think the typical savant "Westcoast/Death Row/g-funk" fan would necessarily know alot bout the influence of classic albums like "unifinshed businees", & "Business As Usual" - which introduced interpolated p-funk in hiphop, like Parlaiment as a "sub-genre" wit a name and a "theme", id say Cold 187um (ATL) came up wit "g-funk", before Dre jumped on the bandwagon and used Cold's breakbeats for "The Chronic" and monoplized the sound as the official "west coast"-thing

Erick Sermon is one of the originators of G-Funk, if you listen to his shit from 88 it sounds way ahead of its time, and it sampled a lot of P-Funk and electro funk like Zapp's More Bounce to the Ounce. I'd say Too $hort is the originator in terms of G-Funk, his early music on 75 girls records sounded G-Funk.

Quote from: Bananas on January 20, 2012, 04:20:51 PM1988Nah, that's not G-Funk, yeah its interpolating Zapp (which a ton of G-Funk records did) but that's just basic hip-hop. The tempo on the track is the exact same as the real song (I know I Play the original like krazy). G-Funk creators was ATL - Basically they invented G-Funk in a ruff Construct. N.W.As Niggaz4life album was essentially a template that sounded like G-Funk but was more of a stepping stone to the actual sound. Dr. Dres The Chronic isn't the originator, but is essentially G-Funk At it's most polish. If you Compare the track "Deep Cover" to "Black Mafia Life the production on both is G-Funk but they both sound ruff, The Chronic essentially smoothed out and master the style, hence why Dre's given credit. Its the same with Gangster Rap, Ice T, King T didn't invent the sound, it was Schoolly D and infact Ice T's 6 In the Morn track was more of a tribute (parody or whatever) to a School D Track. It's just they did it better, hence why they generally (wrongfully) get credit. Because The Chronic was way better then ATLs second album and their third one wasn't out yet, he got the credit. Deep Cover was also way more popular then ATLs second album.ATL second album is consider the First G-Funk album, Course the term wasn't called G-Funk until Black Mafia LIfe (if I remember correctly). N.W.A's Records (and Dres productions) in the very early days wasn't Funky and was infact Electro Dance records (Check out Dres Surgery, and N.W.As first record "The Panic Zone". Dre's production took a turn after the Beastie Boys dropped their record and he essentially took the sound from them for awhile (Check out C.I.A. EP in which Dre copies the style and Ice Cube just jacks The beasties style). Then Public Enemy took stage with its sound scape, Dre and N.W.A Copied the style, except they embraced the Gangsta Style, then with ATL started making records Dre took influenced and copied them. So the first G-Funk song is the first track recorded on ATLs second album I guess.
