'Regulate' At 20: Warren G & Michael McDonald Discuss the G-Funk Jam Regulate G Funk Era Pt. 2 will be Warren G's first project since The G Files in 2009, and the sequel to his 1994 debut.
Warren G's debut album is simply boomtastic. 19 years after its release, it still sounds as fresh as the day it was made.
Lines like 'Rat-a-tat-tat, Dum-de-dum-dum' typify the simplistic yet deeply meaningful lyrics which abound on this recording. Is it possible to convey how utterly trivial the sound of automatic gunfire has become in fewer words? I don't think so. Yes, this is Rap from the top drawer, delivered in a musical package that hits you just as hard as the rhymes. The loops are dark, even sinister, and they come with a sub bass that could well have been sent straight from Hell. In parts it's very Dre.very Snoop.but ultimately it's very G. In both the Warren and the Gangsta senses.
If you ever thought about upgrading your sound system, this record is definitely for you. It'll blow your existing system apart and give you the excuse you always needed to buy a better one!
This LP highlights just why todays hip-hop sucks so bad. There's no message, no funk, no bounce, no creativity. This LP is a pure summer LP, the way each track is constructed is very clever, with some good samples worked with some very popular drums. Warren G is a very good producer, and he's not bad on the mic either. What really shines through on this album though, ulitmately, are the beats. It's quite obvious that Warren has an ear for good samples - even when he's using a record that been sampled many times before, he picks an obscure part of the sample.
G Funk Era Lyrics
Check 'Do You See' and the way Juniors 'Mama Used To Say' Is used. For me personally, this is one of the last great hip hop LP's.
