The G-Child Warren G has released some new material. He jumped on one of the hottest tracks out right now, B.o.B.'s smash hit "Nothin' On U", which originally only featured Bruno Mars. Warren adds his own touch to the track with a smooth verse, check out the remix below:
B.o.B. - Nothin' On U (Remix) (ft. Warren G & Bruno Mars) (http://www.dubcnn.com/media/audio/warreng-nothinonuremix)
If you like what you hear, make sure to check out Warren G's recent mixtape "Coast 2 Coast Exclusive Series Vol. 16" which dropped on Coast2Coastmixtapes.com. The mixtape features Warren adding his touch to current joints such as Lloyd Banks' "Beamer Benz & Bentley" or Timbaland & Drake's "Say Something". Download it below:

props nima

Thanks Nima, Warren sounds pretty good on this.
-
warren jumps on the bandwagon of what's hot in pop.
this is the kind of shyt the fans exactly dont want to hear.
this guy couldnt be more out of touch with his fanbase.
-
Lol dude i think uve made that very clear in pretty much every warren g thread lately. Did u listen to the b.o.b. Remix? Thats one of the best radio songs out right now and Warren did his thing on it, I like the harmonizing at the end. Let him breathe bro, I know you're a die hard fan but you can't expect artists to do exactly what you want them to do!
-
i'm just stating my opinion on the song. its gay as fuck.
when warren makes something dope, i'll give my praises where its due.
-
You were saying Warren couldn't be more out of touch with his fanbase. I consider myself a part of his fanbase and I like this song. I like the original a lot too though, B.o.B. is probably single handedly the most talented artist to come out of Hip-Hop in years, dude is in his early twenties, raps, sings, produces and plays several instruments.
That's besides the point though, I respect your opinion and I know you used to be a die hard Warren G fan, I'm just saying you can't expect an artist to stay on the same tip forever just because that's what you like.
-
^
well i personally couldnt give a flying fuck about bob. going by this particular track, his music obviously is pretty gay.
most people on this forum would agree that the shit on the radio is ass.
millions of people love lady gaga, but that doesnt mean shit to me.
yes, i must admit, its quite disapointing when westcoast rappers try to jump on the bandwagon by making music that sounds like music from the south or the east, or pop/rnb, instead of representing their own sound.
if fans of warren gives the thumbs up to these type of non-westcoast sounding tracks, then that is encouraging him to make more music like that.
even if he doesnt make the same style of music like he did in the 90's,.. atleast make westcoast sounding music.
-
Ok this isn't going anywhere lol. To each his own.

I really don't understand the fans who say: "_______ should make music like he used to during the '93-'96, Death Row era." You do realize that if he were to do so, the resulting album would probably only sell to a handful of the members of this board? It would then likely be considered a greater flop than anything they've previously released.
Like Snoop said in the interview with Nima a while back, music is a job for these people. Most of the fans who loved the music of that era have grown up, and, as I wrote in my Cypress review, Hip-Hop has always been considered a young mans game. The majority of people paying for rap music aren't the grown men that remember firtst listening to Doggystyle. They're the adolescents helping Gucci sell more than Snoop, and paying for their favourite Drake ringtone. You want a sustained career? Well, guess what - you have to make some compromises. Whether it's Snoop working with The-Dream or Warren jumping on a B.o.B. track, artists are constantly expected to adapt with the times. Do so or get left behind. And, for the record, it is a compromise - Warren may be on these "pop" songs you don't like, but listen closely. The style is the same. It's still the same Warren flow loyal fans are accustomed to.
Finally, Warren's at a stage in his career where he should be able to make these decisions without the constant criticism of those who once supported him. Dude has given you so much great music that, like it or not, you should at least respect the route he has chosen to take.

"Want my old shit? Buy my old albums." - Jay-Z
Artists get most there money from shows so alienating their fanbase is actually a bad idea.
Snoop's last albums didn't sell shit, why? His fanbase doesn't like it.
Artists making pop-music have a harder time then artists who just make music for themselves and there loyal fans since pop crowds move on easier.
Raekwon made a sequel to his debut, he didn't compromise or anything and sold more then snoop.
That's not an exception, Blackout! 2 sold 63k first week, also more then MIW.
Let's not forget that both these albums were dropped in the same week as BP3 & Relapse respectively.
Em & Jay are pop-acts but are also seen as 'real hip-hop' which means that sales of Rae, Red & Meth would be higher had they dropped in antother week.
So stop with the 'they need to move on shit' it's a bad move.

no offense, but i don't have any respect for artists that copy what the next man is doing.
if Warren doesn't like criticism, he should stop making music for the public, it's that simple

Stop acting like Rae and Red/Meth aren't the exceptions to the rule. We could go back and forth citing examples of this all day, but here's a few relevant to this discussion: Dogg Pound (separately and collectively), Quik, even Warren (try telling me In The Mid-Nite Hour isn't West Coast sonically) have all dropped albums trying to appease their die-hard fans. They hardly set the world alight.
Part of the reason Rae's album got so much attention was because it WAS a turn-up for the books. Here was an uncompromising album that actually got the acclaim and (some would argue) sales it deserved. Rae's sales were really a drop in the ocean, though, for an album backed by such a tireless promotional campaign. It's also no coincidence that both these albums, at least with their titles, are trading off former glories. Creating a sequel to a classic work is always going to garner some serious attention. Finally on this point, Red and Meth did compromise in places. Some of the tracks on there maybe lacked autotune, but that's not to say there weren't joints on there with mainstream intentions.
As for Snoop... it's no secret that the marketplace is becoming singles-driven, with the disparity between single sales and album sales growing greater by the day (check the latest XXL Freshmen issue - great article on this subject.) MNW gave him two of his biggest singles of recent memory - "Gangsta Luv" and "I Wanna Rock" both charted higher than anything lifted from Tha Last Meal, if I'm not mistaken.

I doubt those 2 singles been bigger than "Beautiful", "Drop It Like Its Hot", "Sign" or even "Sexual Eruption"

If anything, that supports my point. All those singles were atypical Snoop releases: Justin on "Signs," autotune of "Sensual Seduction," Pharrell on the others. Snoop's biggest hits have come from when he DOES embrace pop music.

tha dogg pound jocks the south hard ::)

Now that's my shit!!
Got this on repeat.
G-Dubs the boss right now. He's doing good work gettin his voice heard. Any West Coast artist that gets on a track like this (especially one so many years into his career) and pulls out something fresh has to be given his props :)
lovin this shit he's droppin, like Snoop did when the Chuuch series started - why should spittin a new verse over a track mean he's 'fallen off'? ;D
Anyway I went out and bought The G Files on friday to show support.
Keep it coming :D
-
I visit other sites and I never seen so much complaining than I do when I come on to this site. I'm surprised some of you haven't started a petition for warren to force him to go back to G-funk style of music. G files wasn't that bad.
It's been 15 years, music has changed since then. Just like every decade or more, rock music changes its sound or like any other genre. Get used to it. I may not like some of the music thats coming out from other artists either, but there's plenty of music out there to listen to from the newer artists.
-
this song has been dope, Warren G did his thing on it, and even though it's offtopic The G Files was a good album 8)

like i said, Warren needs to reinvent himself, not copy what the next man is doing.
-
This shit's cool what can i say warren did his thing on this but to tell you the truth the best flow warren had was when knoc was ghostwriting for him and dre also i like the new song him and the hustle boyz spotlight warren really shines on that.
-
i still prefer to hear warren g that not hearing him at all. Warren G spits good on those songs and they are given for free so no complaining about that. Regarding his solo work, i really don't wanna hear pop shit or what the man next door can do ,like it was said. Warren G got mad skills so just do your work the best you can, keep it real, and fans will be happy..
-
dope remix, 1st time me hearing this bob trak, beat is dope
downloadin the mixtape now
lol at the arguments
-
i still prefer to hear warren g that not hearing him at all.
I agree with that. DLing the track now :).
Edit: Track's dope, Warren G's verse is real smooth.
-
after hearing the track im reluctant of dling the mixtape, dont get me wrong i like warrens verse but goddamn i cant stand all these westcoast niggas going on these pop mainstream beats.
with the exception of crooked i.
-
its great to go through a thread seeing some opinions being shared. Props to all, especially Nima and Conan
-
No doubt Warren wants to appeal to as many people as possible, with any luck this will get warrens name out there to some of these "kids" buying music.
-

Artists get most there money from shows so alienating their fanbase is actually a bad idea.
Snoop's last albums didn't sell shit, why? His fanbase doesn't like it.
Artists making pop-music have a harder time then artists who just make music for themselves and there loyal fans since pop crowds move on easier.
So stop with the 'they need to move on shit' it's a bad move.
real talk!
i remember hearin how warren's shows were gettin cancelled, coz of the lack of ticket sales.
people want warren releasin albums that are on that OG westcoast gfunk shit.
this experimental shit that he's doin isnt working for him, and it shows in his lack of sales for his shows and his g-files album.
in the end, warren's goin to do what he feels like, but more and more people will stop checkin for him, if he ignores what his fanbase wants.
if he thinks he's winning any new fans with this new pop-rnb shit, then he's crazy

I really don't understand the fans who say: "_______ should make music like he used to during the '93-'96, Death Row era." You do realize that if he were to do so, the resulting album would probably only sell to a handful of the members of this board? It would then likely be considered a greater flop than anything they've previously released.
Like Snoop said in the interview with Nima a while back, music is a job for these people. Most of the fans who loved the music of that era have grown up, and, as I wrote in my Cypress review, Hip-Hop has always been considered a young mans game. The majority of people paying for rap music aren't the grown men that remember firtst listening to Doggystyle. They're the adolescents helping Gucci sell more than Snoop, and paying for their favourite Drake ringtone. You want a sustained career? Well, guess what - you have to make some compromises. Whether it's Snoop working with The-Dream or Warren jumping on a B.o.B. track, artists are constantly expected to adapt with the times. Do so or get left behind. And, for the record, it is a compromise - Warren may be on these "pop" songs you don't like, but listen closely. The style is the same. It's still the same Warren flow loyal fans are accustomed to.
Finally, Warren's at a stage in his career where he should be able to make these decisions without the constant criticism of those who once supported him. Dude has given you so much great music that, like it or not, you should at least respect the route he has chosen to take.
"Want my old shit? Buy my old albums." - Jay-Z
I know it's a strange thing to say especially in a hip hop forum, but artists should NEVER make music with the purpose of making money. That is why people keep saying hip hop is dead and stuff like that. My theory is that you should express yourself and what you are in your music. I respect Warren G, he's one of my favorite artist from the west, but he IS out of place on a B.O.B track. It's just not him.
Why are classic albums considered classics? Because they perfectly represent the vibe, the originality of an artist. Take Doggystyle for an example. It just represent perfectly, to me at least, the personnality of Snoop Dogg. Now take Kid Cudi. I'm not saying the album is a classic, but it was really good in my opinion because nobody except Kid Cudi could've make an album like that. What I'm trying to say is that, if you try to make music that sounds like 93 to please some fans, or music that sounds like Drake for another fanbase, it WILL sound out of place. What happened to making music just because you want to make music? Nobody thinks that way in rap right now. There is some artists that do it and really try to innovate and create their own sound.
I think we need to judge music for what it is. When I listen to a track, I try to ignore the name of the rapper. Just hear it for what it is. I don't give a fuck if you dropped 15 platinum albums, if you are from the west, east or south. In my opinion, it's completely stupid to say you should respect the route he has chosen to take.
