J box presents "The G​-​Funk Remixes″

[ThaIgk]

there's a life after g-funk though...

yep, but I don't want to live this life. there was a right way the modern wescoast sound should sound like, but those fools preffered stupid Lil Jon and Lil Wayne style. now everybody in digital era got a computer and FL studio, they filled the area around the people who was smth in the game, but they can't create smth good. OG way to make music is forgotten
I stucked with g-funk and I'm proud of it. nothing can make me change my mind. I better listen to sum good old g-funk than sum garbage.

not every g-funk track produced from France is smooth, there are also Makavelik, G-Dogg and Young G. But that just a metter of taste and choice where and what to listen. people around me prefer laid-back style. rough tracks I bumping alone or in the morning with a headphones when I don't want to fall asleep LOL

you make it sound as if G-Funk were the only viable rap genre, as if everything outside g-funk was garbage, which isn't the case.

I agree with what's been said, most G-Funk producers are too smooth and repetitive, and it sounds like Smooth Jazz or quiet storm, but I like it a lot though, and that's their style. On occasion it's perfect but I don't bump that shit 24/7.

a lot of french talkboxers are average, but some are good, I'm talking about Espe, Doggmaster & DJ AK. the cliché lyrics that come with them are terrible though : "cruisin in my 64" etc. lmao

Btw, if I'm a bit tired of listenting to g-funk all the time, I switch to funk, soul or jazzy hip-hop (Funky DL, Digable Planets, Mojoe, Kero-One...) and I think many of us, g-funk fans, don't bump this shit 24/7.

No I didn't say that about outside genres. There were like at least 3 native west coast directions. West coast classic hip hop, gangsta rap and g-funk. What west cost classic hip-hop and gangsta rap evolutionated to is absolutely garbage. Some childish shit and southern dump like. But it was cool in the beginning. So lets say I chose the least evil lol

What Artist/Album would u categorize as Classic West Coast Hip Hop ? How would u categorie Niggaz4Life which is as classic as it gets but is also very gangsta. If you say that there is just Classic/Gangsta/G-Funk Genres on the West Coast your forgeting about the Bay, i mean in the 90s they had Mobb Music which was a the heavier and darker cousin of G-Funk and there was also the Hiphy movement in the early 2000s. And im not even touching the socalled alternative/Skater Hip Hop that was always big in Cali...and is probably the biggest movement right now.

I said at least, doesn't mean there are no more genres.
I couldn't just say Golden Age hip-hop as it touches east coast and west coast both, so I decided to put the word 'classic'. Lets say its about The D.O.C., Souls of Mischief, etc Ok, lets say its west coast jazzy-hop if you want so.
Sorry about Mobb Music, just got it out of my mind for a sec) I respect that genre, cant say nothing bad.
Hiphy went south too.

Don't want to start a holywar tho, what is the point?

My point was that the album that u are promothing as something dope is just mediocre. Well the beats are ok, but the mixing is sooooo that people need to stop promoting this mediocre music, period. Its not about the genre not about the artist but about the music and the finished product.

[MistaLogos]

People will decide by themseles what they should or what they shouldn't. You can't decide for everybody. You didn't like it, I'm cool about that, why not?
People recognized the music tho, even if mixing and acapellas weren't perfect like you said. The title wasn't big too, it's not an album, just mixed cd. But it attracted attention somehow even if you disagree with that.

Dude, it's just your personal opinion, NOTHING MORE, and stop imposing it on the people, let the people decide whether it's good or not good. If you're on siccness.net forum, you'd better check other people's opinion about this release, not a single word that it's a mediocre or wack album: http://www.siccness.net/vb/f37/j-box-presents-%AB-g-funk-remixes-vol-1-a-359117.html And some of those people I know they are collectors.
Also, right after this release, J.Box brought some much attention to his production skills that he was asked to produce tracks for following artists: The Dove Shack, Duardo (French MC), Shade Sheist, SSOL, Kokane and Dazzie Dee. If he was just so-so/mediocre, nobody of those well known names would even think about J.Box to produce tracks for them.
Yesterday I spoke to Daddy V and he really like J.Box remixes, as well as Shade Sheid is of very good opinion about J.Box as producer and got him produce a track for his upcoming album "Blackops".
So you stop hating and enjoy the life. Peace out. Ain't gonna to agrue with you anymore because it'd be just a waste of my time.

[Scrappy Doo]

Why is it always hate if you criticize ? If you read my post again, you can see that i said that dude got skills, but he needs to get someone who will master his stuff properly. On all of his songs either the beat or the Vocals are to loud. So just cause a Forum that is i guess G-Funk/West Coast oriented says that some is good, nobody is aloud to state any criticism ?

[MistaLogos]

I admitted some criticism. Sometimes I do criticizing on how the release was compiled and mixed too. You maybe went too global with words 'why you supporting, stop supporting' and shit...
This release don't need a promotion btw, it was already promoted well, sold out and recognized.

You started with "We need to start critizing stuff that is just mediocre. So if its cool praise it but if its wack just say it is...thats how well get good stuff again", then you continued with "My point was that the album that u are promothing as something dope is just mediocre. Well the beats are ok, but the mixing is sooooo that people need to stop promoting this mediocre music, period."
Ok, for the mixing issue - I knew all that way before you commented. But I've been following this release from the date it was released on CD (with only 50 copies pressed for the first time). However, the thing is that this mixed CD was not meant to be released on CD but then due to all the people requesting J.Box to get some copies pressed, he did. Before I saw the photo with the physical copies, I didn't even pay much attention to this release, I thought that it was just another of the digital-only remix albums so I didn't make it to check the album before I saw the physical copies were pressed. And to tell you the truth, I don't even really like many of those accapellas of those famous artists but I think he used them just to bring people's attention to his production effort. People first saw the big names which made them to checked that album and many of them were like wow, this dude came dope with his productions. And you know what, it really worked for him, many artists (I've already named a few of them above) found out about J.Box and now he's full with work producting the tracks for them. This album showed big potential of J.Box as a producer and our blog decided to throw some light on this release and recommend it to others because we did like his beats a lot (but again we didn't impose our opinion, we gave a link to check that album in full and it was up to everybody to decide if they like this album or not). If they liked and didn't have money (or didn't want to spend no money) it's the option of free download in many audio formats thru his bandcamp page. And there were 50 physical copies for those who wanted a CD, then after those 50 copies were sold out with 1-2 days, he pressed 50 copies more due to other people were asking him to get more copies available because they didn't make it to buy their copy withing those 1-2 days that he was selling the 1st pressing.
Next project that J.Box has in mind is to release his studio album with all the featurings by those artists for whom he made beats before. So that one won't gonna be a mixed CD but a proper studio album, and it may happen because he got proper recogintion due to G-Funk Remixes release.
We think we have to support such promising artists/producers in order to help them bring it to another level and keep making the musiс as these underground artists doing it mostly for the love they're getting from their fans and they really need our support, esp. during the difficult times for g-funk.
Also, at our blog, we decide what we're gonna promote and what not (and we do this just for the love to our music genre, not because of money and we never ask something from artists in return) and we don't need nobody to tell us what we should promote and what not. If we feel we should support a certain release, we do it. Simple as that.

The explicit version of this album was made on CD by J.Box in France. I still have last 3 copies (they are opened, never played, in Like New condition) that I can sell. If interested in one of them, PM me.
