Rap Star Warren G Readies, "Regulate... G Funk Era: Part. 2", The E.P., Due Later This Year
LOS ANGELES, July. 15 /2SPR/ - Multi-platinum recording artist Warren G, has announced that he will be releasing "Regulate… G Funk Era: Part. 2", an E.P. to be made available at digital retailers later this year.
"Regulate... G Funk Era", was the debut album from Warren G, in 1994 on Def Jam. The album went triple platinum stateside, selling over 4.5 million units worldwide, and debuted at Number 2 on the Billboard 200 after selling 176,000 in its release week. The lead single "Regulate" w/ Nate Dogg, was certified platinum, reached Number 2 on the Billboard Hot 100, and received a Grammy Award Nomination in 1995, for Best Rap Performance by a Duo or Group. The album also birthed the hit singles "Do You See", and "This D.J.", which reached Number 9 on the Billboard Hot 100, being certified gold.
It is noted that in the early 1990's, Def Jam created "Rush Associated Labels," a larger moniker under which Def Jam and its various auxiliary labels would operate as subsidiaries under the PolyGram umbrella. By 1992, despite recent multi-platinum selling releases from LL Cool J., Public Enemy, and EPMD, Def Jam ran into severe financial troubles and was faced with folding. Salvation came in 1994, however, when PolyGram purchased Sony's 50% stake in Def Jam Recordings — subsequently bringing the label into their fold. Following PolyGram's acquisition of the company, Def Jam released Warren G's "Regulate... G Funk Era", which went triple platinum and effectively revived the label.
With seven LP's (his reunion disc with Snoop and Nate Dogg 213′ "The Hard Way" was released in 2004 and quickly went Gold) already under his belt, Warren G is expected to release the new set sometime this year.
"Regulate… G Funk Era: Part. 2", coming soon.

I know your true alias, dont make me expose u. busta.
-
If n the midnight hour or anythin post 213 album...save it
-
People might disagree with me on this, but if it's ANYTHING short of a 10 out of 10...
DO NOT RELEASE IT.
G Funk Era can't be matched, so I just hope he's not using that name to sell a record.
I'm a huge Warren G fan too, but I'm being real.
-
Since its an EP im thinkin it should be produced mainly by Warren and have some guest productions by Fred Wreck, Battlecat, and BellyFlop. Guest featuring Nate, Snoop, Dogg Pound, RBX, Rage, and LaToiya Williams and maybe Jewell if they can get her on a track.
-
I recommend ALL artist, especially the washed up ones, to NEVER claim your new album is part 2 of your classic album.
-
Nah thats real talk effex...watch him drop ntmnh part 2 and say its a better piece of work than rotr...and if he has ray j...new boyz etc...hes done as he should have learned that the first time round
-

Am I the only person that thinks 'I Want It All' is Warren G's best album?
I know that G Funk Era is the one that gets the most acclaim... but I really feel like 'I Want it All' is his classic. Flawless production, best rapping out of all of his albums... great guest spots by various Dogg Pound members... and really his most musically 'interesting' production IMO.

amen .
that´s the worst thing to do unless you really can recreate the magic and i don´t recall anyone but raekwon doing that. not warren g , not these days. this just shows he´s out of ideas.

Return Of The Regulator was g funk era part 2
-
Don't do it Warren please just don't do it
-
At least call it something else like the regulator g-funk era forever regulate and regulations or something else.
-
he should NOT call it regulate gfunk era pt2, because i believe its going to be some sellout crap like the gfiles album, with wack artists like black nick, which will be putting a stain on the name of warren's classic debut album. he's just trying to ride off some of his success of his first album, but will give us the same washed crap as his latest album, instead of listening to his fans and giving us a classic westcoast gfunk album staying true to the real sound of gfunk, which is what his first 2 albums represented, and also bringing back the twinz on the album
-
weird...

Dr. Dre and Nas?
-
That was a nice article about the original album.
I still remember back in 1994, being surprised when I saw the album in the movie/music store. I didn't even know he had an album on the way, I just bought it off of name recognition, because I knew he was down with Snoop and Death Row; in fact I even thought it was a Death Row album...the labeling on it kind of confused me.
So then I started listening to it, and I thought maybe it wasn't a real album or something, like it was one of those Dr. Dre "Concrete Roots" type of albums that were floating around, some unauthorized shit.
Because the album didn't have that hardcore Death Row sound, I didn't get it at first. Then slowly it grew on me and became my favorite for that summer and many summers to follow. Still my favorite summer album of all time.
Nice to hear that "This DJ" charted so high back then, all the way to #9 on Billboard, I always liked that song even more than "Regulators".
-
Warren could take some tips from Raekwon - it IS possible to create a sequel to a classic album that holds its own against the original.
Then again, for every 'Cuban Linx II' there's a 'Blueprint 2' :-\

damn right
-
See what happens with it.. part of the problem with G-Files was a poor track selection and letting the weak guest artists take over the album. The unreleased leaks from that time period were a lot better than the album tracks.
If he will come back with the dope beats and some confidence he'll be able to sell some albums again.
-
must be the only head on this forum looking forward to this, i thought his last album was fire, but thats just me
-

So i'm the second! I'm looking forward to this and i think that if he called it G-Funk era part 2, the only features would be Twinz, Snoop, DPG or Nate. I can see another dope duo with Nate.
G-Files wasn't that bad. Just too much useless guests but still some dope songs.
I really think Warren G is gonna put a quality EP. I hope there will be some hardcopys too!

twinz and dove shake would be great. makes the album worth the buying
-
Real talk krass...rotr is str8 dopeness speed dreamin is str8 fire...the whole album aint bangin but mos def dope muzik...even some of the slower songs....
-
wow...yall always find something to bitch about...FUCK the name, its about the music..and if its what i think it is (i think hes finally taking peoples views and tastes into consideration, and is going do something right for his core fanbase, with actual g-funk beats and whatnot) then it should be sick....
at worst, call it Regulate : Back to Basics
and oh yeah, he needs sean "barney rubble" thomas back on the keys...

i must admit tho, reakwons cuban linx pt.2 was suprisengly successfull.
-
I like the G-Files a lot, and those that dismiss it as wack (apart from being a stupid comment) are missing out on the good tracks on it 8)
Lookin forward to this +1 :)

i hope not, there's already enough shit in landfill
-
I hope he releases it, I would luv a decent G-Funk album that isnt made by some underground Chicano rappers. Lately all his work has been bullshit, hope this album works out 8)
-
Just thought of something...
Warren already did "Return of the Regulator", with the similar artwork to the original and everything, so I don't know if you can go back and do it again like that.

Damn then u might b part of the 1200 fans that didnt buy g files album was bad imo
-
THE ONLY WAY A WARREN G SHOW WOULD BE STANDING ROOM ONLY THESE DAYS IS IF SOMEONE CAME AND STOLE ALL THE SEATS.

Lol ^^

Return of the regulator was a great album, im anticipating the new one. I just hope he realises what made regulate so popular and goes with that vibe rather than trying to appeal to the kids who like drake and jeezey.
