First of all, in the letter ATL wrote to "The Source" where they complained about not being on the Top 100 artists of all time list, they claimed it was "Black Mafia Life" that Dre copied. Not the "Vocally Pimpin" EP or any of Kokane's albums, but "BML" specifically. It's kinda odd that they would say that, no? You'd think they would be more familiar with their own catalog of work.
Second, I've heard both of those albums (I even used to have "Vocally Pimpin" on 12" years ago), and while I will say that there are some samples and production techniques that might be associated with G-Funk, the overall production approach doesn't follow a unified template (this is also true of "BML")
it's clear that even if Hutch was experimenting with new sounds, he hadn't yet figured out a definitive style (which is what G-Funk represents).
the simple fact is that in terms of sonic detail, Dre was light-years ahead of Hutch - and this is evident on all of his tracks.
Oh, yeah, and if you think those Monie Love and Naughty By Nature joints are G-Funk, you're mistaken. You don't have to be a musician or a producer to know what G-Funk is - trust me, I've worked as a music critic (I'm currently a teacher) before, and I'm quite familiar with the G-Funk sound.

Yeah, I liked Tray Deee as well, and it's too bad he got himself into some shit and won't be outta prison till he's 50.
