Did New York Ever Relate To G-Funk In The 90's?

[bogey_j]

G-funk was such sunny california car music, I simply can't imagine bopping my head to this on some grimey ass subway

you need girls in bikinis and palm trees for this shyt to make sense. any new yorkers here fukk with g-funk back when it first came out?

Visiting NY during that time, people were for that sh*t.

The whole East Coast / West Coast sh*t was so dumb because both coasts used to dig each other's music. How does Snoop memorize Wu Tang or Tribe songs

of course we did you idiot...why do you think we only about hoodies & timberlands?...oh my bad another undercover "i hate ny" thread...but if its so nice where you at why worried about our subways?

This, I was disgusted with the East Coast/West Coast beef, especially out in Jersey, a lot of n1ggas fukked with West Coast cat's heavy. I'm talking Pac, Cypress Hill, Spice 1, a couple of Mac Dre fans, Del, CMW, Keak da Sneak, Dre, Warren G, Cube, Dogg Pound. shyt was hot out there. Mostly because n1ggas in the bricks love to smoke that Maui Wowee and West Coast shyt was good to smoke to.

Also keep in mind EPMD's sound was sort of the precursor to that sound though the West def made the most of it.

Listen to the influence The Chronic & Doggystyle had on the Ready to Die album. Also, y'all are forgetting how HUGE The Chronic & Doggystyle were in mainstream rap/music. Were nikkas in the BX listening to BG Knoccout & Dresta or Dove Shack? Prolly not, but the entire nation was listening to The Chronic and Doggystyle

Absolutely, I would add CMW's Music to Driveby as well in terms of the thematic tales of corrupted youth.

I couldn't relate to G-Funk music bc as a 11 year old I wasn't gangbanging and driving lowriders.

Dope music is dope music though, so it definitely got spins from me. All this relating to music non sense I keep reading on this board is . Some shyt you just put on and enjoy...u nikkas busy looking to music for direction and love advice and stock tips and shyt. Just press play and enjoy

Listen to that high pitched sine wave on "big poppa".

"Respect", "things done changed" and "machine gun funk" coulda been ice cube songs...
