It's too late, J Box pressed 100 of them and they were sold out within a few days, mainly thru FB. I still got a couple of copies left but it's obvious I won't let em go for cheap.

You're welcome. FYI, right after dropping this remix album, J.Box got much more famous as a g-funk producer and, as a result, now he's working on new tracks for The Dove Shack, Duardo (French MC), Shade Sheist, SSOL, Kokane and a track for Dazzie Dee feat. Young Dazzie and Levitti on the hook.

So The Dove Shack is gonna release something? 8)

It looks like they are up to something, however, the things are going a bit slow with them... Check this vid, it looks like Dove Shack have been working some some new album, now nothing has been confirmed yet: http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xqxl4i_c-knight-feat-bo-roc-2-scoop-goldie-loc-dj-rectangle-feelin-alright-valuable-g-mixx_music#.UbI8IfYRDSk

Cool thanks for the info. Better they take their time than rush it. And I hope they get some beats from Warren G.

Now it's known that best g-funk beatmakers come from Europe (France and Italy): VS Productions (Venom & Sovan), Wadz, J.Box, DJ AK, The Touch Funk, Dogg Master, Aelpeacha, Dogg Master, DJ Zone. Docc Free and DJ Zone are from Italy, and the rest producers are from France. Only very few dope g-funk producers have I don't like what Warren G has been doing during recent years.
Check out how Bo-Roc of The Dove Shack sound over the European producer's beats (these tracks were released on these producers albums which were pressed up as CD's too):
VS Productions - Deep Fallin' (ft. Foesum & Bo Roc) - Produced by Sovan of VS Productions (France)

FOESUM feat BO ROCC & DJ AK - Higher Than Xtasy - Produced by DJ AK (France)

too bad yall was 15 years late to the party. maybe g funk wouldnt have died if they could have got some quality beats in a timely fashion.
-
^^^ G-Funk has never died, it just moved to other places and went underground. Anyways, it's good to see what Europeans do for g-funk nowadays while we can't see that in the States for years.
-
no it died.
i think snoop changing his name was the last nail in the casket but i do think its admirable that you guys are keeping the niche genre semi relevant
-
Snoop, that mutha is a traitor of all traitors along with WillIAm, they forgot the roots they started (Ruthless - Death Row) and making money on some non-understandable shit. The only thing snoop did for g-funk was 2 first albums and a plenty of featrings. They are a big shame. Oh, Ice Cube too, "I am the West"...lol...I am the South fits much more.
G-Funk never fell off, the years 2000-2005 were hard but it survived. It moved to France, Japan and Italy where the fan base is very big now. USA, yesss, it died here. But still OGs of the movement are welcome from here all around the globe. So don't say no if you don't know.
-
no it died.

Thanks for your compliment, it feels good to hear such words. However, I have to say that such ppl like Snoop just betrayed g-funk long-long time back so the example about Snoop was a flawed example. Snoop and many other WS rappers (who repped g-funk back in the day) just betrayed this genre and started making some garbage that I don't even wanna talk and think about. G-Funk might be dead in the States, but not in Europe and Japan, that's for sure, I know what I'm talking about.

there's a life after g-funk though... just cause they ain't makin g-funk anymore doesn't mean that everything non g-funk they make is straight garbage. and a g-funk song isn't necessarily a good song, there are plenty of wack g-funk songs too even if the musical aspect of g-funk makes it easier to listen.

I didn't said that all the g-funk songs are gope because they belong to g-funk. Not at all !!! I don't like many g-funk songs and many of those were because I don't feel them or they're wack ;)

The only real problem with the French G-Funk producers is that they go way to much into the smooth G-funk directions (beats that wanna sound like Quik post 96) they totally forget about the early G-Funk sound that was heavy till 95. Im talking about the P-Funk inspired sound that u can hear on the Chronic. In French G-Funk its all about smooth keys and some Talkbox (from mostly mediocre players). Its cool that they still keep it going but they need to do more with it.

As for me, it's not a problem but the good thing that French g-funk producers stick to the smooth G-Funk. So it's just a matter of taste and I'm really cool with it. I got many G-Funk CD's in my collection but until now I didn't bother to have Chronic cd in my collection because I really like a like of tracks out of it, so I bought the CD single with the tracks that I liked and that's it with the Chronic. However, I don't doubt that it's a great g-funk album, it really is, without any doubt, but again, it's just a matter of taste.
I think it's good that some French G-Funk producers do what they feel - if they feel they wanna do smother g-funk, let em do it and it won't be good if they're forced to make it harder. However, there are some other French G-Funk producers that do more P-Funk inspired sound and other heavier type of g-funk, you just probably don't know abt them.
Here are only few examples:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kY4P_yfSqt0
I repeat the above are just very few examples. I have a pretty big French G-Funk CD collection so I know what I'm talking about. But yeah major part of French G-Funk producer has been keeping ther g-funk beats smooth.
-
there's a life after g-funk though...
yep, but I don't want to live this life. there was a right way the modern wescoast sound should sound like, but those fools preffered stupid Lil Jon and Lil Wayne style. now everybody in digital era got a computer and FL studio, they filled the area around the people who was smth in the game, but they can't create smth good. OG way to make music is forgotten
I stucked with g-funk and I'm proud of it. nothing can make me change my mind. I better listen to sum good old g-funk than sum garbage.
not every g-funk track produced from France is smooth, there are also Makavelik, G-Dogg and Young G. But that just a metter of taste and choice where and what to listen. people around me prefer laid-back style. rough tracks I bumping alone or in the morning with a headphones when I don't want to fall asleep LOL

Dude, im not talking about Harder...for example Tiz-on Recordz CD got George Clinton on the cover but the music is nothing like Parliament-Funkdalic (or any other of Georges Bands). And just so you know im a big French G-Funk fan (got all Aealpeacha and Dogg Master albums). But the tracks sound all the same its always the same Talkbox (and you gotta admin that the Talkbox players arent that good) over some lame Zapp-wanna-be-beats. Ofcourse there are great Producers over there like Aelpeacha but the majority is just shit.
-
Talkboxing exhausting itself, I agree, last man who created smth was DJ AK maybe, but first he braught was sounding that the others were afraid of. The only thing you can invent in g-funk is music. Thats what Fingazz did in his last album, talkboxing wasn't the aim of the album. People like DJ AK, Docc Free, Sovan, maybe Dogg Master and Aelpeacha already brought smth new to g-funk music. They are current geniuses if you can think deep and through historical aspect. Maybe J Box is the next one, who knows, just saying, he was recognized and now he's going up and up...

totally agreed dog, on chronic and uncle sams curse they were using breakbeats and a p funk sample as the skeleton of the beat and it sounded rugged and smooth at the same time and i miss that shit alot.
-
lets keep it real though....those are jazz instrumentals most of the time.
i like em. but like homeboy said too many cats trying to be too smooth with it....thats when it turns into jazz music basically.
-
Maybe just because Roger & Zapp are still the most popular and sampled. Still sounding good btw while Parliament/Funkadelic sounding going harder for perception.
I think the last album you should love from what I read must be King T - IV Life, yea, thats the hard sound I missing too, but it was based on sampling which they got rid off in 95-96 when critics started to blame too much sampling. And those were the golden ages for g-funk. Thats why many producers based their sound on it, because it 100% creation of the mind, not just sample-resample-once again the same sample...
btw, I can't imagine somebody recreate the hard parliament/funkadelic sounding now. I got the idea about the beat, but IMO the beat is not that important in g-funk, it could be any type...
I got nothing against jazz, it was a part of hip-hop for many years.

Man i dont wanna brag or anything but i listen to alotta P-Funk/Boogie/Jazz (especially that funky jazz stuff like Jazz-Funk, Acid Jazz even some Jazz fusion eventhou thats basicly Rock Jazz i still like it cause the dudes play some sick shit) and what those French guys are doing is nothin compared to that if you wanna hear G-Funk mixed with some dope arrangements with a modern twist listen to the new "Modern Funk" movement. Many people heard about Dam-Funk but he is baisly just the tip of the Iceberg there are so many other cats out there, and they are mixing the old G-Funk sound with Boom Bap and its amazing. Here is what i think is the MAIN problem with G-Funk and G-Funk fans, after the whole Snoop Renaissance faded away (Im talking about Eastsidaz/Dogg House days where Snoop and his crew still used to pick G-Funk beats) we didnt get ANY G-Funk for years. So after all that stuff blew up over there in France mixed with that Chicano Rap thing coming outta Southern Cali people went baaanannnaaaas cause they finally got some new G-Funk and from then till now weve been praising ANYTHING that got a G-Funk lead in it. I mean i see youtube videos from garbage G-funk beatmakers (yes im talking about Productofthe90s and guys like him) that people praise like its the Chronic 2. We need to start critizing stuff that is just mediocre. So if its cool praise it but if its wack just say it is...thats how well get good stuff again.
Sorry for grammar

you make it sound as if G-Funk were the only viable rap genre, as if everything outside g-funk was garbage, which isn't the case.
I agree with what's been said, most G-Funk producers are too smooth and repetitive, and it sounds like Smooth Jazz or quiet storm, but I like it a lot though, and that's their style. On occasion it's perfect but I don't bump that shit 24/7.
a lot of french talkboxers are average, but some are good, I'm talking about Espe, Doggmaster & DJ AK. the cliché lyrics that come with them are terrible though : "cruisin in my 64" etc. lmao

Btw, if I'm a bit tired of listenting to g-funk all the time, I switch to funk, soul or jazzy hip-hop (Funky DL, Digable Planets, Mojoe, Kero-One...) and I think many of us, g-funk fans, don't bump this shit 24/7.
-

No I didn't say that about outside genres. There were like at least 3 native west coast directions. West coast classic hip hop, gangsta rap and g-funk. What west cost classic hip-hop and gangsta rap evolutionated to is absolutely garbage. Some childish shit and southern dump like. But it was cool in the beginning. So lets say I chose the least evil lol
-
What Artist/Album would u categorize as Classic West Coast Hip Hop ? How would u categorie Niggaz4Life which is as classic as it gets but is also very gangsta. If you say that there is just Classic/Gangsta/G-Funk Genres on the West Coast your forgeting about the Bay, i mean in the 90s they had Mobb Music which was a the heavier and darker cousin of G-Funk and there was also the Hiphy movement in the early 2000s. And im not even touching the socalled alternative/Skater Hip Hop that was always big in Cali...and is probably the biggest movement right now.

I said at least, doesn't mean there are no more genres.
I couldn't just say Golden Age hip-hop as it touches east coast and west coast both, so I decided to put the word 'classic'. Lets say its about The D.O.C., Souls of Mischief, etc Ok, lets say its west coast jazzy-hop if you want so.
Sorry about Mobb Music, just got it out of my mind for a sec) I respect that genre, cant say nothing bad.
Hiphy went south too.
Don't want to start a holywar tho, what is the point?

My point was that the album that u are promothing as something dope is just mediocre. Well the beats are ok, but the mixing is sooooo that people need to stop promoting this mediocre music, period. Its not about the genre not about the artist but about the music and the finished product.
-
People will decide by themseles what they should or what they shouldn't. You can't decide for everybody. You didn't like it, I'm cool about that, why not?
People recognized the music tho, even if mixing and acapellas weren't perfect like you said. The title wasn't big too, it's not an album, just mixed cd. But it attracted attention somehow even if you disagree with that.

Dude, it's just your personal opinion, NOTHING MORE, and stop imposing it on the people, let the people decide whether it's good or not good. If you're on siccness.net forum, you'd better check other people's opinion about this release, not a single word that it's a mediocre or wack album: http://www.siccness.net/vb/f37/j-box-presents-%AB-g-funk-remixes-vol-1-a-359117.html (http://www.siccness.net/vb/f37/j-box-presents-%AB-g-funk-remixes-vol-1-a-359117.html) And some of those people I know they are collectors.
Also, right after this release, J.Box brought some much attention to his production skills that he was asked to produce tracks for following artists: The Dove Shack, Duardo (French MC), Shade Sheist, SSOL, Kokane and Dazzie Dee. If he was just so-so/mediocre, nobody of those well known names would even think about J.Box to produce tracks for them.
Yesterday I spoke to Daddy V and he really like J.Box remixes, as well as Shade Sheid is of very good opinion about J.Box as producer and got him produce a track for his upcoming album "Blackops".
So you stop hating and enjoy the life. Peace out. Ain't gonna to agrue with you anymore because it'd be just a waste of my time.
-
Why is it always hate if you criticize ? If you read my post again, you can see that i said that dude got skills, but he needs to get someone who will master his stuff properly. On all of his songs either the beat or the Vocals are to loud. So just cause a Forum that is i guess G-Funk/West Coast oriented says that some is good, nobody is aloud to state any criticism ?
-
I admitted some criticism. Sometimes I do criticizing on how the release was compiled and mixed too. You maybe went too global with words 'why you supporting, stop supporting' and shit...
This release don't need a promotion btw, it was already promoted well, sold out and recognized.

You started with "We need to start critizing stuff that is just mediocre. So if its cool praise it but if its wack just say it is...thats how well get good stuff again", then you continued with "My point was that the album that u are promothing as something dope is just mediocre. Well the beats are ok, but the mixing is sooooo that people need to stop promoting this mediocre music, period."
Ok, for the mixing issue - I knew all that way before you commented. But I've been following this release from the date it was released on CD (with only 50 copies pressed for the first time). However, the thing is that this mixed CD was not meant to be released on CD but then due to all the people requesting J.Box to get some copies pressed, he did. Before I saw the photo with the physical copies, I didn't even pay much attention to this release, I thought that it was just another of the digital-only remix albums so I didn't make it to check the album before I saw the physical copies were pressed. And to tell you the truth, I don't even really like many of those accapellas of those famous artists but I think he used them just to bring people's attention to his production effort. People first saw the big names which made them to checked that album and many of them were like wow, this dude came dope with his productions. And you know what, it really worked for him, many artists (I've already named a few of them above) found out about J.Box and now he's full with work producting the tracks for them. This album showed big potential of J.Box as a producer and our blog decided to throw some light on this release and recommend it to others because we did like his beats a lot (but again we didn't impose our opinion, we gave a link to check that album in full and it was up to everybody to decide if they like this album or not). If they liked and didn't have money (or didn't want to spend no money) it's the option of free download in many audio formats thru his bandcamp page. And there were 50 physical copies for those who wanted a CD, then after those 50 copies were sold out with 1-2 days, he pressed 50 copies more due to other people were asking him to get more copies available because they didn't make it to buy their copy withing those 1-2 days that he was selling the 1st pressing.
Next project that J.Box has in mind is to release his studio album with all the featurings by those artists for whom he made beats before. So that one won't gonna be a mixed CD but a proper studio album, and it may happen because he got proper recogintion due to G-Funk Remixes release.
We think we have to support such promising artists/producers in order to help them bring it to another level and keep making the musiс as these underground artists doing it mostly for the love they're getting from their fans and they really need our support, esp. during the difficult times for g-funk.
Also, at our blog, we decide what we're gonna promote and what not (and we do this just for the love to our music genre, not because of money and we never ask something from artists in return) and we don't need nobody to tell us what we should promote and what not. If we feel we should support a certain release, we do it. Simple as that.

The explicit version of this album was made on CD by J.Box in France. I still have last 3 copies (they are opened, never played, in Like New condition) that I can sell. If interested in one of them, PM me.
