I was just thinking this.
Like G funk was like the most popular form of rap. Soulful, street, gangster and everything in between. It had to been hot until 1996 atleast. Then just 4 years later...



Crazy how hip hop went from 2pac, biggie, deathrow etc.. to Nelly, in ONLY 4 years

Puffy.

Ok but trap lasted longer than g funk.

Is that proof enough that trap is more influential?

Trap Music has more to do with laying the drums and hi hats than it does the sampling of records.

After a while people stopped wanting to hear beats that sampled funk records and talked about bloods/crips.

when that trap sound kame in the east coast wasnt relevant like it once was they wasnt callin shots coz the media made the east/west beef some epic lvl shxt ..

they couldnt hate on it like they did the west and the g funk sound

ask those atliens how they was gettin shytted on when outkasts first shxt dropped .. hip hop changed shyttin on diff regions on the LvL the east coast shytted on cali wasnt hip fo a period of time

it gave the south the opportunity to explode the way it did and introduce a new movement and nu sound ..

plus there is only so many oldies u can sample n smoke out 2 .. that along wit seasons changin moved hip hop in a diff direction

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.

It died with pac n deathrow

The two biggest artists from the west dre n snoop took different paths... Dre started fukkin with eastcoast nikkas n snoop signed to no limit...

I :salute: the west n the south for creatin they own styles... But nothin lasts forever n g funk died with the westcoasts dominance of mainstream rap...

97-98 was the years eastcoast nikkaz came back to the front n the south started gainin relevance...

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.
