What exactly killed G funk?

[up in here]

There is no way they could've ran thru 2 1/2 decades of funk jams to sample, in about 5-6 years.... it's not even possible breh.

20-25 years of music, from 15-20 prominent acts and countless one hit wonders and random cuts all used up in that amount of time? nah.

if you look at most, if not all the dudes who were the most influential in the G Funk sound, they were all in their late teens or early 20's...and we see all types of major/significant shifts in sound from rappers as they hit their mid to late 20's.

G Funk, faded away..cause it wasn't supposed to stay for long.

G-funk didn't draw from the whole funk genre, it mainly took from the late 70s early 80s heavy electronic funk which was only really only poppin for a few years.

its quite simple really, they just ran out of funk jams to sample. g-funk era wasn't sample flips, it was straight loops and after a while all the best loops got used so they needed to do something else.

there's plenty of G Funk that's all original or original mixed with samples. on top of that, just because you sample Zapp or Parliament doesn't automatically make it G Funk, Ice Cube used Funkadelic samples, so did Redman, but Whut Thee Album isn't a G Funk album.
