What Was The First G-Funk Song?
Was It "Dopeman" Or "Alwayz Into Something"?
Maybe Im Wrong.
-
for me the first song with a real smooth G Funk touch is "Tonight" from Dj Quik first album !
-
For me:
NWA - Express Yourself
Too $hort - The Ghetto
but overall Alwayz Into Somethin'
-
it was by above the law
off the second album i believe wqish i could remember the name of the song.
-
for me "Alwayz Into Something" was the first g-funk song I heard and Above The Law's "Vocally Pimpin" the first album
both were released in the same year I believe
-
''Alwayz Into Something'' was Dre's first dabbles with G-funk.
-
Above The Law's 2nd album
-
YES!!so i was right when i thouzght "alwayz into somethin´" was the first thang done in that direction.
admiral d killed that shit.

yeah i Love the Admiral D part, beside the two Nwa feats, is there anything else from him ??
-
you guys are all ignorant sluts, just becasue its got the whiney moog synth its g funk?
g funk is gangsta rap over beats inspired by parliament funkadelic....no more no less. it evolved into almost a soft jazz rap hybrid thing toward the end of its course.
de la soul me myself and i has a greater claim to g funk legacy then these songs yall are mentioning.

Erick Sermon is one of the originators of G-Funk, if you listen to his shit from 88 it sounds way ahead of its time, and it sampled a lot of P-Funk and electro funk like Zapp's More Bounce to the Ounce. I'd say Too $hort is the originator in terms of G-Funk, his early music on 75 girls records sounded G-Funk.
-
first to sample the zapp clap and more bounce. eric sermon is one of the most slept on ever.
-
yeah Erick Sermon is criminally slept on... I mean he's still getting a lot of props in the industry and is seen as a legend but few really realize and acknowledge his producing skills...
-
hes kind of like a recluse or something. after that incident where he jumped out of that girls window then the rumors he was the industries first gay rapper its like he lost his drive. he just recently had a heart attack i think i remember reading.
i would split someones wig for a whole new kieth murray or redman album entirely produced by e double.
-
and which one was the last?!
-
yeah Erick Sermon is criminally slept on... I mean he's still getting a lot of props in the industry and is seen as a legend but few really realize and acknowledge his producing skills...
word.
-
'Call It What You Want' by Above The Law was the first song to mention the term 'g-funk' I think, by 2Pac no less.
-
Surprised no one has mentioned "The Formula" by DOC

not slept-on, very aknowledged by hiphop-fans in general as a producer,,
hes not up there wit Pete or Primo, but his name holds weight,
EPMD has a huge fanbase to this day, and is ingraved in hiphop-history forever. songs like "So what u sayin" was like a slap in the face when it came out
but yeah,, i dont think the typical savant "Westcoast/Death Row/g-funk" fan would necessarily know alot bout the influence of classic albums like "unifinshed businees", & "Business As Usual" - which introduced interpolated p-funk in hiphop, like Parlaiment
as a "sub-genre" wit a name and a "theme", id say Cold 187um (ATL) came up wit "g-funk", before Dre jumped on the bandwagon and used Cold's breakbeats for "The Chronic" and monoplized the sound as the official "west coast"-thing

eric sermon brought the zapp clapp to the forefront and put the idea in other producers heads to use it...imagine what dj quiks discography would sound like without the zapp clap? quik was using 808s when he first started which is the main snare and kick staple for the south right now. so while eric sermon didnt do g funk records persay his roots to parliament funkadelic zapp and just funk music in general run just as deep as any west coast producer.
stay real was such a dope ass track.

Nah, that's not G-Funk, yeah its interpolating Zapp (which a ton of G-Funk records did) but that's just basic hip-hop. The tempo on the track is the exact same as the real song (I know I Play the original like krazy).
G-Funk creators was ATL - Basically they invented G-Funk in a ruff Construct. N.W.As Niggaz4life album was essentially a template that sounded like G-Funk but was more of a stepping stone to the actual sound. Dr. Dres The Chronic isn't the originator, but is essentially G-Funk At it's most polish. If you Compare the track "Deep Cover" to "Black Mafia Life the production on both is G-Funk but they both sound ruff, The Chronic essentially smoothed out and master the style, hence why Dre's given credit. Its the same with Gangster Rap, Ice T, King T didn't invent the sound, it was Schoolly D and infact Ice T's 6 In the Morn track was more of a tribute (parody or whatever) to a School D Track. It's just they did it better, hence why they generally (wrongfully) get credit. Because The Chronic was way better then ATLs second album and their third one wasn't out yet, he got the credit. Deep Cover was also way more popular then ATLs second album.
ATL second album is consider the First G-Funk album, Course the term wasn't called G-Funk until Black Mafia LIfe (if I remember correctly). N.W.A's Records (and Dres productions) in the very early days wasn't Funky and was infact Electro Dance records (Check out Dres Surgery, and N.W.As first record "The Panic Zone". Dre's production took a turn after the Beastie Boys dropped their record and he essentially took the sound from them for awhile (Check out C.I.A. EP in which Dre copies the style and Ice Cube just jacks The beasties style). Then Public Enemy took stage with its sound scape, Dre and N.W.A Copied the style, except they embraced the Gangsta Style, then with ATL started making records Dre took influenced and copied them.
So the first G-Funk song is the first track recorded on ATLs second album I guess.

That sums it up correctly.

admiral d killed that shit.
Also I feel you should know (since I saw your post about Cypress Hill)
Cypress Hills Debut Album had a huge influence on G-Funks soundscape. Dr. Dre drew influence from ATLs production techniques and basically combined it with the Cypress Hill Sound at the time. The Debut album was a direct inspiration to The Chronic and basically Hip-Hop and rap as a whole. Cypress Hills first 3 albums have highly advance production even by todays standards.
Basically NWA Straight Outta Compton bares sound influence from Public Enemy, EMPD, Beastie Boys, and old school Electric Dance.
100 Miles and Runnin was Dr. Dre's last Up Tempo recording (allegedly) you can see hes clearly being influnced by ATLs style on the MC Ren track.
Nigga4life was basically a huge step up, but you can tell the difference between that record and the G-Funk sound. The Sampling is more dense on certain tracks, and less on others (Always into something as mentioned). It's basically a Beta G-Funk record. It's just another stride before Dr. Dre fully developed his portion of the sound.
When Cypress Hills Record dropped, Everything on that record got transfered into the chronic. The Funky Basslines, The sound effects, the sampling techniques a lot of stuff that became staples of hip hop.
Warren G pretty much invented a more soulful style of G-Funk
Too Short's Moob Music had a influence on the sound also.
Basically G-Funk is a combination of all these different variety of hip-hop combined to form one sound. That's why I think G-Funk is more advance in terms of Production and Sonic quality, mainly because it takes a lot of these things to make a True G-Funk record. The DJ Quick Song "Tonight" as previously mentioned isn't G-Funk, but I Can see how it could be. The same shit happened with Ice Cubes The Predator album. The template was sorta like G-Funks except it was way more rugged and dense.
The successor to G-Funk today is Chicano Rap. It utilizes the same techniques, sounds and concepts. Except its not Truly G-Funk, It just sounds like it.

vocally pimpin was supposedly g-funk, but always into something came out even before that. and i always thought the formula sounded like g-funk. but forreal, vocally pimpin and black mafia life are trash records compared to the chronic. always into something and 187 are much batter than any song off either of the atl records too. you might technically call what atl was doing at the time g funk, but in all honesty, it sounds nothing like the chronic

that's a dope post. thanks for your two cents. i wouldn't consider Deep Cover more G-Funk than Tonite though. As you mentioned, LA's rap scene was mostly electro hip-hop in the 80's, at least the big names like Toddy Tee, Mixmaster Spade, Rodney O. & Joe Cooley, and I think that G-Funk is a natural evolution from that style, but sounded a lot more organic and soulful with the use of live instruments.

What Came Out First The Chronic Or BML?
The Chronic, but BML was basically G-Funk without Cypress Hills Debut contributing to the sound. So basically BML represents G-Funk before the Cypress Hill influence.
BML however was fully recorded and set for release before Dre made The Chronic. The Chronic was made after and was released before BML do the fact that Dr. Dre had to push out a album in order to jump start Death Row and to put distance between himself and Ruthless Records, where ATL wasn't under pressure and BML was just another release for them. BML got good reviews, but The Chronic dominated the radio and raps sound for years.

good question. I know people have called Dre's music G Funk, but did Dre ever call it that himself? It seemed like Warren G was really the one promoting that phrase.
...a good question would be "who coined the phrase G Funk"?

Actually, 2Pac was the first to ever call this music G-Funk - check out his verse on ATL's "Call It What U Want" from "Black Mafia Life":
"I'm bumpin' G-Funk, but you can call it what you want"

Yes, Dre referred to it as that at least a few times during the Death Row era. The one that immediately jumps to mind his intro on Dogg Pound's "Respect" track.

2pac said it first on ATLs "Call it what you want", but its possible ATL had told em what they called it, or he just made it up cause it sounded like a good lyric and the term stuck.
Doggystyle was the third G-Funk album in existence at the time (Correct me if I'm wrong) and he used the term on that.
Then Warren G, and pretty much grew from that.
Dr. Dre didn't reference it as G-Funk until After The Chronic. So ATL essentially created it, and possibly named it. I say possibly cause its very possible 2pac invented the term During his whole rhyming on the "call it what you want" track.
I know ATL says they Made the Genre (no denying that) but I Don't recall them ever claim giving it the name. Correct me if I'm wrong. It would be kinda strange that 2pac named it, considering he doesn't make a G-Funk album until Me Against The World. but the first time the term was ever heard on a record was by 2pac.
-
thug life and me against the world were both g funk records pana
i mean for fucks sake warren g did beats on thug life.
also warren g was getting his g funk vibe out there earlier then yall remember check out mc breed (michigan stand up) the new breed and i think this album came out within a month or so of the chronc they were both made in the same studios at the same time and feature many of the same studio musicians too.

gangsta gangsta and dopeman
how is this hard to realize?
They may have contained the whiny synth that is a trademark of the genre, but these 2 tracks are not explicitly g-funk in my opinion.
-
those songs sound more like what public enemy was trying to do back then.
it qualifies as gangsta rap but definitely not g funk hackster.
-
gangsta gangsta doesn't sound quite like public enemy, it has that groovy guitar that doesn't sound necessarily g-funk but definitely funk to the fullest and kinda defined the dominant "west coast sound" where the beat was musical and as important as the flow and the lyrics when before the instrumental just served the purpose of setting a backdrop against which a rapper could spit. i'd say it was one or two steps before g-funk as we know it
