LoL @ talking about DJ Quik, Lil Jon, hyphy, G-Funk, Terrace, Josef Leimberg, etc., when everybody is waiting on Dre to drop Detox to change the game again like he did with 2001, The Chronic, and various NWA albums. Nobody else on the West can influence a whole industry like Dre, only Dre and a select few on the East & South can do that.
the west coast should sample songs from The Gap Band, Kool and the Gang, and The Ohio Playaz.

The problem is that people usually try to avoid samples because it takes money out of your pocket.
5. "Something that won't really sound G-Funk, but will have strong west coast related elements mixed with elements of other coasts"-I'd say that the main producers who've done this in the last few years would be Scott Storch and Lil Jon, who obviously aren't west coast producers, but have made beats that have catered to the west while keeping elements of the south and east. Many of these songs are dope as hell because of this, and it would make west coast songs adaptable to any region. These songs tend to have basslines mixed with heavy kicks, and many of them keep the high pitched synths and strings...but they sound different from what I put for #1 because they usually don't have as laid back of a vibe, and they sound more club or street sounding than some G-Funk.Examples: Eastwood and E-40 "Bay To L.A.", Daz "Git drunk", Sly Boogy "That's my name", Snoop and Ice Cube "You gotta a lotta that", Ice Cube "Why we thugs" and "Child support", Crooked I "Boom Boom Clap", Too Short "Sophistocated",
Detox's prolly gonna be the next signature sound of hip hop in general.
