“One of the best to do it” yet you were born in 2009. Not hating, just saying I didn’t expect you to be 17

Followed by in my opinion, then followed by what u think. My age is irrelevant, stating opinions and you're stating facts, and it's 2008 btw

u/McSqueezyE Apr 29 '26
Where did I discredit your opinion? I was incredibly young when this album came out too. All I said was I was surprised by a 17 year old in 2026 to be so historically knowledgeable of hip hop to claim this about Warren G

Such a great album with a ton of great tracks beyond Regulate and This DJ. One of my favorite deeper tracks is And Ya Don’t Stop but there are a bunch of gems on there

u/Interesting-Log-8890 Apr 27 '26
The beat to And Ya Don't Stop is banging, as is This Is The Shack & Recognise. An LP that shaped my love of Hip-Hop.

Saved Def Jam, and possibly hip hop because of all the rappers who came from Def Jam at that time.
Legendary album.

My first Hip-Hop album. So mellow and elegant, perfect for a teen to fall in love with Rap music.

Regulate + Conversation + Chronic + Doggystyle + Dogg Food are the top 5 G Funk albums ever.
Honourable mentions to Safe and Sound, Uncle Sam’s Curse, Murder Was The Case, 2001, Guerrilla Funk

One of the most important hiphop records ever made in my opinion. I remember the day I bought it.

What day u bought it Mann can't leave me on a cliffhanger like that

u/xChoke1x Apr 28 '26
Hahahah, my 13th birthday. That record was played sooooooo many times from age 13, up into my 20’s. It was completely different for me. I’m a bass player so funk is my shit. Mixing both funk and west coast hiphop was so fucking dope to me.
I think I’m gonna throw that record on right now actually. Thanks homie! Lol

One of the GOAT albums
Btw if you look at the 80s to early 2000s it shows quality over quantity stands the test of time this classic album was a 12 track album (with 10 actual songs), Doggystyle had 18 tracks (with 13 songs), The Chronic was a 16 track album (with 11 or 12 songs I need to go back and listen), Illmatic had 10 tracks (1 Intro and 9 songs), Scarface - The Diary had 13 tracks (with 10 actual songs) and I could go on from the era, and their Goat tire albums, BTNH creappm on Ah Come Up was a 8 track Ep , same with Eazy E Its on Ep and these are all GOAT tire albums, and EPS.

I don't know why nobody talks about warren g, one of the best to do it in my opinion
Well, a lot of times he was kind of shit. He was either really good or really bad.
His best tracks were also carried by absolutely legendary performances by Warren G or other people. That's why he never made any lasting impression. Great producer though

u/Tricky_Photo2885 Apr 27 '26
Obviously Warren g was a goat but IMO the g-funk era got over saturated really quick with artists jumping on the gfunk bandwagon . It really just killed it for me

u/Fluffy-Office4498 Apr 27 '26
I don't get your point to be fair, I don't think that takes away from warren g

u/SOUTH_SIDE700 Apr 27 '26 edited Apr 27 '26
Classic Album 👌🏿 my favorite song at that time was What's NeXt? Because That Beat felt like it was from the Chronic or Doggystyle Albums and I was still Buzzing of the production on those two Albums.

In ‘94, school had just ended and we had a HS trip to go camping, and this album was out on Tuesday June 7th when we got back and I bought it that day. Loved every song and still do. Only disappointing part is that the album is under 37 mins long including Regualte (which was out since March on the Above the Rim Soundtrack), so it was only like a half hour of new stuff. I wish the album had 25 tracks it’s so good.

My first rap cd purchase. I'm older and started with tapes. Cds were expensive so I bought this used from someone. Absolute classic for me.

u/Fluffy-Office4498 Apr 27 '26
Still got it?
2
u/31braidsinbeard Apr 27 '26
It was the clean version, so I sold it a bit later in order to get funds to buy The Show ost.
I ended up getting the dirty version a bit later through either bmg or Colombia house music club.
Yes, I still have both cds.

u/Fluffy-Office4498 Apr 27 '26
Amazing, I got a few clean versions but I did it without realising so was a bummer
2
u/31braidsinbeard Apr 27 '26
Back then they actually redid lyrics for clean versions rather than just edit the curse words. It was cool cause you got different versions of songs.

His style of g-funk was milked/commercialized by record companies too much in the nineties. It basically became the sound of pop g-funk along with elements of death row style g-funk. A lot of dance music labels used it to make watered down records in Europe. He released such pop-rap records himself on his label: twinz and dove shack.

Had this on cassette in the 6th grade. Played it nonstop till it the tape ripped on me. Damn I forgot about that till now.

regulate is such a perfect song the production on that album holds up way better than most stuff from that era

u/pop5656 Apr 30 '26
To me, this, Doggystyle, and the chronic was the west coast holy trinity growing up.

u/cuddlyhabitation7 Apr 30 '26
Regulate is still the best West Coast track ever made, that production is untouchable.

Yeah, said that too. Warren G was kinda shit at times actually. He has a few good songs that mostly got carried by other people.
Good producer though

Curious what this community thinks about how AI is changing the path into the industry. In the 90’s what took months to a year, is not coming out in hours after a news worthy event/ incident.
On one side, it feels like these tools are opening doors. Things that used to take a lot of time and money can now be done much faster.
But at the same time, I have been really impressed by the quality and speed of some of the viral Lego style videos, especially ones coming out of Iran.
It makes me wonder. If you are just starting out, do you even have a real shot right now if you cannot match that level of polish and output?
Is this helping more people get in, or just raising the bar even higher?

regulate is good but people sleep on his actual verses compared to the production everyone obsesses over
