Aside from Bone Thugs (who were of course signed to a West Coast label), very few rappers outside the West have tried G-Funk.

g-funk was defanitely apart of the early southern shit as well
-
Alot of southern cats were influenced by g-funk sound you can definetly hear it in the albums i mentioned and alot more.
Bone Thugs were influenced a little by it but they had more of their own style.

A little by it? Bone's first two albums were straight-up G-Funk, period. And that's not surprising cause their two main producers (DJ U-Neek and Yella) were both West Coast cats and they were signed to a West Coast label.

They had a much darker sound than straight up G-Funk.

alot of the stuff off of the chronic and doggystyle had tht dark feel to it also

Agreed, but Bone was DARK, almost devilish at the time of East 1999. Much darker than anything to come out of Cali imo, even there slower songs are haunting.

Guess alot of people were influened by Parliament at that time. As far as G-Funk goes, I wouldn't really consider East 1999 a "g-funk" album. "1st of the Month", "Buddah Lovaz", etc. had that vibe, but I thought Bone, regardless of where U-Neek was from, had there own sound.

yeah they definetly had more of their own sound you could tell if you've heard Faces Of Death
you could say they mixed their own style with g-funk on their next 2 albums very much

Touie - Saved Gansta really tihgt album from Dayton Ohio
Playa G - Pimp shit......OOh DAAAMN yeah this shit iis THE best memphis album of all time !! this track: fuck the trunk blow my fuckin mind away 8) 8) 8) 8)

JUST BECAUSE an album/artist has a funk influence does not make it G-Funk. People seriously get the definition of 'funk' and g-funk mixed up. Eric never did g-funk, always funk. same with rap-a-lot.

No, Eazy never produced tracks for them. "Creepin On Ah Come Up" was produced by U-Neek, Yella, and also Rhythm D.

Bullshit, now you're making shit up. It wasn't just a Parliament influence, it was the style of production through and through. Even though it isn't always that way, G-Funk can certainly be dark and gritty..."Deep Cover" sounded like that, and that's one of the first G-Funk songs ever made. The heavy elastic bass, the whiny synthesizers, live instrumention, and melodic approach to hooks are the defining production techniques in G-Funk, and Bone's 1st two albums follow that template to a tee. Bone was G-Funk, everyone at the time classified them as such, and that is precisely what they were. They may have had their own rapping style and they may have been darker than say, Warren G, but they were still G-Funk. Don't argue with me about it anymore.

Eazy never did G-Funk? Are you kidding me? What do you think "Real Muthaphuckin Gs" was? Lest you forget, Eazy had Above The Law signed to Ruthless in the early-90s, and Big Hutch often claims he was the originator of G-Funk, not Dre. And Eazy rapped over Hutch's beats quite frequently, plus Yella and Rhythm D were doing G-Funk imitation production. As for Rap-A-Lot, Scarface's albums after "The World Is Yours" had something of a G-Funk influence as well.
I am not confusing funk and G-Funk; I know the difference very well. And Eazy-E was doing G-Funk by the mid-90s once the trend had established itself in the mainstream and everyone else was doing it.
-
there's also some gfunk album over there in East coast...I think about Raw Deal by Big U and the madhouse crew.
-
G-Funk - slowed down tempo of funk music with gangsta rap/gangsta rap style vocals
thought i would put that down before some other seriously dumb shithead tries to tell me what g-funk is

He was talking bout Erick Sermon...

Lol, its like everyone idolizes a genre that is not much anymore to the world outside the west, but hates on the next new things coming out (50 Cent, Timbaland, recent Dre beats etc.)....people just scared of change :D

They had there own sound, people thought it was g-funk or funk "influenced", it was never considered a g-funk album ( east 1999 or Creepin on a come up ). And the Funk influence on "Deep Cover" is so easy to miss you wouldn't catch it unless your a loser, overanalyzing shit. That was a grimey record, alot of Bone tracks had a G-funk vibe, but they had a darker style all of there own, again, regardless of where there producers were from.

You're right, it's not like I'd instantly turn off a song just because it's G-Funk, but it's fucking 2007! There are too many new styles/artists to be hung up on one style that, outside of Cali, died years and years ago. G-Funk is like the same to me as Crunk, Mobb, Hyphy ( because it's already dead imo ) , Backpacker and what not. It's cool to like it, but be open to other shit, and don't idolize a style like it was really that great or ever coming back.

Reefer: you the homey but I'm gonna have to agree with guerilla unit on the fact that
-Bone is g funk
-e 1999 is g funk
-eazy is g funk
-deep cover is g funk
and I think, fuck genre, if it bangs, it bangs.

East 1999 is my absolute favorite album of all time, and I have NEVER considered it G-Funk. It had some influences, but it was much better than any g-funk album could ever be. And Tanj, you know I got love for you, but g-funk was just a gimmicky style too me, and I though Bone was way above that.
I gotta say I do love the old Dre & Snoop albums ( Deep Cover was not g-funk to anyone outside of Cali ), but even hearing the phrase g-funk is corny to me nowadays. Not trying to tell anyone who feels otherwise that there taste is wrong, just speaking on mine.

Finally, a great question that we've never seen................
