[Aladin]

-jermain dupree (shamelessly bit everything deathrow did)

Jermain maybe bit DR later on.
But as early as 1992 he already had G funk tracks with Totally Krossed Out.

[Sir Petey]

he was biting dr dre and nwas sound. dont front,


jermaine dupree rode the fuck out of the funk movement he made two mini snoops (bow wow and da brat) andkriss kroass albums all sound like deathrow beats.


although kriss kross the bomb and im real was cold as fuck. anyways young rich and dangerous was suppposed to be like dogg food etc etv etc


he had a prodege named mr black that was dope as fuck though.

[TidyKris]

Yeah the first one that sprung to mind for me was JD.
Some of his beats were pretty good though, especially the beat to "JD Feat Da Brat & Usher - The Party Continues"

whether we like him or not, JD is a legendary producer, always able to produce hot shit and classics in his g-funk days => the b-side with BIG & Da Brat. even on Daz's So So Gangsta, the best beats were produced by JD : The One, Badder Than A Mutha, All I Need.

Tone Capone, although affiliated with Rap-a-Lot, is from the Bay. some producers from the south & east not only took a stab a it but completely mastered the genre (mike dean, t-mix)

Erick Sermon
Pimp C
DJ DMD (25 Lighters, So Real, Mr 25-8)
Mike Dean/N.O. Joe/John Bido
T-Mix (all the classics he produced for Ball & MJG, South Circle, Mr Mike, Crime Boss)
Jazze Pha (Sho Nuff)
Mannie Fresh (BG's Chopper City, Kilo G's Bloody City, Mr Ivan's 187 In a Hockey Masks, some Big Tymers)
The Legendary Traxter (Twista's & Do Or Die's stuff)

[GangstaBoogy]

Erick Sermon and Jermaine Dupri are dope West Coast producers who aren't from the West Coast lol.

Jazze Pha too. He lost me when he start biting E40's style all over his songs (it's embarrassing on Incredible Feeling" by Slim Thug)

erick sermons never did no g funk...he incorperated zapp claps before dj quik. i Don't count focus that sounded like dj quik mostly touched that.

he used parliament samples but in a different way flipping the atomic dog sample for example on redmans dare is the darkside intro and making it into some gritty east coast shit same with the way he sampled zapp on Cross over

[bouli77]

sermon's beats definitely sound east with their characteristic thumps, but he did produce g-funkish songs

[Sir Petey]

lets go as far then as to call him the originator.


you gots to chill, what u sayin?, cross over, headbanger...all predicated the west coast abuse of funk


im glad yall brought sermon up this might be a good convo.

[bouli77]

ive been sayin before that he was one of  the orginators, although, as you pointed out before, it doesnt sound exactly the same. but yeah EPMD were fuckin wit Zapp since the late 80's, they're even featured on their fifth album if i remember correctly (haven't played the album in four years).
