Let me guess, you had a conversation while working on detox and he told you he created gfunk?
efil4zaggin was already using the sound that hutch ran with to say 1 person started it is disingenuousall you gota do is google “who started g-funk?” to see just how multi-layered it truly is
How to classify G Funk? For a more Scientific explanation I bring to you the immortal words of the legendary Nate Dogg (the King of G Funk, the one and only)G - Game (money I make)F - Fools (I break)U - Undisputed ChampN - Neva gonna get itK - nikkaz that I knock on they back(damn it feels good to see Long Beach on the maaaap)
You totally got me wrong bro. You are not paying attention. I didnt say one person started it. I said one person consciously did it first and named it and shaped a formula how to do it. Dre took that formula and re shaped in his own way and made it sound something powerful and considered as a sub genre. I'm giving credits to both actually.I dont have to google bro. You know that. I live that shit When it comes to proove it yeah i believe what Hutch said. There are people in the game who supported what he said. Also dre or anybody close to Dre never disclaimed it.
Good breakdownNever noticed the lyrics
In 1991 Pac comes to studio to record his verse for Black Mafia Life album but before he asks "Whats your style? I want to mention it in my verse" then Hutch answers "its g funk".
Just cause of how I came came up and the timing of when I got into rap I like to give the credit to Dre, Warren, and Nate……but this is an interesting quote and piece of hiphop history you posted on this thread. Because, to me it’s another jewel 💎 in 2pac’s crown if he was the first to say the word on record and then for Hutch’s side the fact that a player like Pac would not know the official name of the sound yet and had to ask Hutch and then Hutch provides him wit the name—well that’s a huge feather in Hutch’s cap.Good thread and good piece of history.
so, we are alreayd off topic, i want to know how would you classify and catogorize g-funk in itself? how many types of era could you determine in g-funk history?
I haven't read the whole thread, but I know some people are going to single out the synth whistle as being necessary for it to be G-Funk, but I disagree. I was listening to Snoop's "Don't Do the Crime" and even though this song lacks the synth whistle, this song definitely isn't east coast, it definitely isn't some south sh1t, it's some west coast funk. It makes me realize that the essence of G-Funk is smooth, laid-back beats overlaid with hardcore rhyming from a gangbanger's perspective. Typically it will have someone singing on the hook.1. Laid-back beat (at least relative to other regions' beats) usually with a strong base groove and melodic keys2. Hardcore rhyming3. Clean catchy hook
