Title: Eastcoast Albums with a westcoast-sound ?
Post by: Desert Lord on November 19, 2012, 08:38:37 AM
when the g-funk sound was the trend, many rappers nationwide tried to do that sound. some of em did it really good.
i think masta ace "sittin on chrome" is a good example...love that album!
anyone got other examples? post it  8)

Erick Sermon was notorious for sounding California-esque.

Not Eastcoast, but Da Brat's first album -- Chi town rapper with an ATL producer collaborating to make a G-Funk album. Heavily influenced by Doggystyle.

Jermaine Dupri's whole aim with Da Brat was to make her into a female Snoop. Hints the West Coast embracing her earlier shit.

Biggie copied the G-Funk sound for his singles, when I heard the album it was completely different, I was just thinking what's this bait and switch horse shit. I'm glad I ripped it off.

yeah, it seems that eastcoast rap with "westcoast"-sound is rare...not really surprising, since the in early to mid 90's the eastcoast-westcoast "beef" was all over the media

Yeah I love how The East Coast had the nerve to diss West Coast style but then ripped it off for their own albums. That's why I never took any of the earlier diss tracks against the west serious.

There's not many. Besides what others have already posted like Masta Ace, EPMD, EPMD solo members, Biggie singles, Dana Dane, I'd say Daddy-O "You Can Be A Daddy, But Never Daddy-O" album from 1993. And a couple of singles I can think of are Fu-Schnickens "Breakdown" and "Breakdown (Remix)", and Da Youngstas "Hip Hop Ride", Almighty RSO "Revenge of Da Badd Boyz", Benzino "Boottee".

I remember this one. It was not recorded for Maverick just before Lydia Harris got a deal with the label ?

Anyway, it's the better answer I see for this topic ;)

There's a few one-off songs as well...

Like Run DMC did "Bounce" which has the whiny synth and squelchy bassline --

(Came out in '93 on the Beavis and Butthead Experience album)

i would say that the p-funk sound and midwestfunk-sound has the biggest influence on g-funk, but it ain't g-funk. some of the characteristics like the darker sound and the slower tempo is very original....for example blues is the root of r&b but that don't mean that r&b and blues is the same.
and epmd was also a big inluence, but their sound is no g-funk. even if they sampled zapp all over every record.

sorry funk lord, but you are totally wrong . epmd was the originators of g-funk sound but that means west coast did not invent that . so that hurts. just like east coast invented gangsta rap not West coast. really R&B & blues are mostly same thing . R&B stands for rhythm & blues . so again you wrong .

i know the early epmd-albums and to me it sound nothin like g-funk. like i said, it had a big influence on g-funk but it sounds different.
'and yeah, i know that r&b means "rythm and blues", but it's a genre in it's own right you can't denie that

Just sampling P-Funk doesn't make something G-Funk at all...

G-Funk normally has -
Slower tempo
Replayed, live instrumentation, particularly with the whiny synth and bassline
A big part is the content, talking about gang stuff, low-riders, etc.
Also the actual flow normally has the thing where they slide off the end of the beat, so they're rhyming behind the beat...

EPMD doesn't really have any of that... they've got a dope East coast sound that just happens to sample
funk stuff... but then MOST of the earlier hip-hop in general sampled funk music,
but it didn't make it all G-Funk
