-
damn he looks burnt out, new album coming, not much info though...glad to know he's got one more for us, peace.
-
1 word... TIGHT...
Warren G is the shit....
It's a shame this is his last album :(
-
yeah man, this interview took place after the show, and after the afterpartying, so he was pretty tired and high/drunk. either options are possibilities. but yeah, oh well cant do much about it.
-
no it's dope you got the interview, but if he could've asked you a question it probably would've been " yo justin dog, you got a pillow for ya boy?"
i didn't like how he responded to what he was going through when each album came out, that was a dope question and he didn't elaborate at all.
peace.

disappointing interview :(
not your fault justin, but warren is kinda tired..
and to me he sounded like he gave up getting into the lime light
so its not like "damn, this is my last album, i wanna shine with it - ppl will remember me as one of the greatest WC rappers"...
it was rather like "yea, i love my fans, and they want another album, so ill give them another one - but actually i dont really like to - but what can you do?"
:-\
personally id love to see warren g blowing up with this album, introducing his proteges to the world and daily dose of g-funk will be guaranteed for the next 10 years at least ;D
-
props lil homie
Dubcnn keeps doin it big.
-
Good shit

nice interview! u shoulda asked him about therealwarreng.com and how come he never released the 213 demo! but i hate 2 say it warren looks washed up
-
Good to see that he's into and loves the music -- he definately looks like he's tired / burnt out / sort of fed up with things, though.
-
lol. Warren was :sleep:
Yawning throughout the interview and sh1t. Dude looked like he was gonna pass out in the middle of Justin's questions. Funniest interview I seen in a while. ;D ;D
-
thanks
-
yeah i was pretty disappointed that he was giving me that sort of energy/vibe, or lack thereof. its whatevers though, if he chooses to present himself to the fans in that manner, then thats his decision. just doesnt look good on his part.
-
thanx justin
-
JUSTIN 4 PRESIDENT!!
-
thanks. warren g knows hes past his time already. doesnt seem to excited.
-
A bit disappointing, but still...much props to Justin!
-
thanks. warren g knows hes past his time already. doesnt seem to excited.
his time aint past.
only if he chooses it to be.
yes, some listeners have moved on, but alot of us aint.
we still support warren g's music career, even if some of ya'll dont feel the same way.
he still got alot of support.
warren said he'll be releasing one more album. he said it'll have the twinz on it, and the 5 footaz.
and then after that he'll just be a producer , and maybe do guest appearances on ppl's albums, but no more solo albums after the upcoming one.
but i think it will all depend on how successful this album will be. if it sells very well, then i doubt he'll quit releasin solo albums

as much as i like warren g, you're in denial. people dont really give a fuck about him anymore, thats why his last album flopped. there will always be fans but not enough to bring him back in the limelight. i love the twinz but they're irrelevant.
-
his last album flopped coz it wasnt that good and it wasnt promoted properly.
warren g might not have the fans he once did, but that can all change if he makes a hit again.
he's made hits b4, and he can do it again.
the mainstream fans will jump on whats hot
if warren makes somethin hot, and it gets promoted properly, he could be a platinum artist again.
the twinz are unkown to the mainstream but they could do well on the underground releasin independant records
-
WOOOOT :)

you're forgetting one thing. old people dont make hits anymore. the new generation of 12 & 13 yr olds dont know who warren g is and old dudes like warren g aren't marketable to the youth.
snoop is old but he has personality and hes still successful cuz he stays in the spotlight. the same can not be said about warren g.

Props on the interview Justin.
Sort of ironic that Warren feels that not 'rolling with the punches' and refusing to allow the 213 project to pick up 'new flavours' would have ruined it...when actually nearly all fans believe that Warren G production would have done nothing but aided ''The Hardway''. Definitely sounds as though it wasn't his decision to make as to whether he was involved production-wise which is a huge disappointment although unsurprising.
It is sad to say but he seems really uncaring in this interview. I don't think that he's particularly motivated at the moment at all and I bet he was just as disappointed with the outcome of 213 as we all were.

I think he's just disappointed in the fact that Snoop and Nate wanted to have other producers and that the fans weren't happy with that at all.

Dope interview, cant wait for Warren to bless us with another album! Damn he was tired as fuck too :D
But hey, my interview kindda stops 7 min into it, did dat happen to any1 else??
-
JUSTIN 4 PRESIDENT!!
-
Thats dope!
-
good interview thanks

This is my first post on the forum, so what up everybody? Glad to see you got the Warren G interview up... major props for that... but interview could've been a little better in my opinion, but you take what you can get.
I don't know why you're all gettin' on him for how he presented himself... the guy just did a show... probably was exhausted... and I seen Snoop and Dre and other guys in interview segments lookin' much worse than that so, ain't no thing.
Anyhow, can't blame Warren for seeming that way... rap industry has turned to trash ever since '98.
I'd like to see Warren go out decently since this is gonna be his last record... and for all of you saying Return of Regulator flopped... come on guys... that ain't fair... Warren's in the same boat as everyone else like DJ Quik, Mack 10, E-40, etc. etc. All once prominent figures in rap, all former platinum artists now strugglin' with sales... Guys, it ain't Warren fallin off... it's just that no one gives a shit about the west coast sound. That's why the only guys outta the west that are still strivin are Dre, Snoop, and Cube... they're the only ones accepted on a mainstream level. And I ain't gonna even mention Game cause he has to prove if he can sell copies without havin 50 cent all over his records.
But so I mean... Return of Regulator sold 250,000... it ain't mind blowin, but it's right in the ballpark for sales that other former west coast stars like Quik have been doin since '98.
Warren needs a good label that'll promote him properly... and if he can get just one hit.. we'll see... considering his knack for single making, it aint outta the question... remember guys... anything sells if they market it to sell
They just haven't been marketing west coast music to sell... that's why everyone's fallen off
Let's see if this Snoop attempt at a west coast revival really works

What are you talking about man? I put the Regulate on here in Minneapolis, and EVERYONE starts rapping along. As much as I hate listening to the radio, it's on during work, and during lunch they have a segment called Back In The Day Buffet, and the song is on there every single day.
People know who Warren G is, it's just a matter of making a song that is a big radio hit. If the Ying Yang Twinz can do it, so can Warren.

100% on point. thanks for the support guys. hopefully next time we can bring to you guys a more energetic Warren G. haha.

Give him a break. You could see he was tired and stoned as fuck. Something I was this saturday as well.
Warren is a legend, and as a matter of fact I've digged out Take A Look Over Your Shoulder from my shelf, and been bumpin it for 7 days straight. Return of The Regulator was dope as hell too. You know that shit wasn't promoted properly. I love that cd.
Warren just need to get himself out there again. "Lookin At You" got a lot of spins, but then nothing happened. This man is one of the greatest producers ever in my book, and I can't wait for a new album from him. It's a shame if label politics makes this man leave the game coz it sure needs him.
peace.
