Going through rare 90s hip hop is such a goldmine it’s kind of crazy. My favorite rare west coast thing was this g funk album by a guy who I forget his name but he had a crazy life story and is in jail for life now. The album was really personal and intense and religious and emotional, i’ll find it and post
let’s bring this thread back brother
Both semi relevant but extremely underrated California artists
Always loved this Hi-c song, very underrated

this is the holy grail of dre's vault tho
!https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uh6CV400FUwgod i need this. why this got cut from doggystyle i dont know but it would have been the perfect outro.
At this point I love this fan made version so much I don’t mind if we get the official lol
Great thread
I love rap so much bruh
this is what ktt needs to put energy onto
no divorce rumor s***
good memories of deep diving battlecat production
someone posted it way back first page or so n i still listen to it, feel so good
idk about rare but this is my fav dre beat
also extra points for his overly long drunk intro
the overall sound quality was just always there when a lot of hip hop just wasn't. I think the fact you can still play a song like Dopeman or even the OG Boyz N Tha Hood and the drums still knock just shows you Dre's ear was that good that early on. On top of that the quality of the actual songs were top tier. Compare the drums from this to other songs from around the same era

I've always preferred the OG version of this song. The beat sounds more raw and hits harder
this is gonna sound weird, but you got any interviews/media/articles about west coast rappers sampling p-funk bands like parliament before dre created g-funk? like a bunch of rappers from the wc most notably dj quik sampled a lot of parliament in their music without the signature hi-pitched g-funk sound if you get what i mean

guitar is nasty on this one
this is f***ing smooth. this thread is a gem
o man that’s gonna be for the kings @op @2words ??? anyone?
Yeah. I dont wanna derail the thread much, just had someone tell me DJ Quik was coined as G-funk before G-funk, and that's interesting because these beats dont sound exactly G-funk. Just kinda desperate because I couldn't find s***. Thanks tho, hopefully those two can get back to me
