Dr. Dre Perfected G-Funk, But He Didn't Invent It—Gregory Hutchinson Did

<< < (2/2)

Okka:
"Dope Man" came out in 1987 and that's G-Funk in my opinion. Even if Dre took ideas from Cold187Um, he did it better than anybody else. "Black Mafia Life" is a classic, but it's nowhere close to being as dope as "The Chronic".

Agree, BML not in the same universe as Chronic. Mixing, production, song writing. Not even close and l love ATL.

To me, Uncle Sam's Curse was easily ATL's best work

dnjp4life:
It could have been a lot different to how it all turned out though.

Don't forget that Above The Law were looking to sign Snoop Dogg, Warren G was hanging with them around this time, who knows, maybe Nate Dogg and Tha Dogg Pound might eventually have found their way to Ruthless Records.

In that respect I can sympathise with Big Hutch because Dre in the long run became the bigger, more well-known and commercially successful producer.
