WNUT Talk, Episode 6: The History of the G-Funk Era - Who Started It? What Was Its Impact and Legacy?


Listen Later

On this episode of WNUT Talk, Stoney (a/k/a Brandon) takes you back to West Coast hip-hop's g-funk era. What exactly was g-funk? Where did it come from, where did it go? And what was its legacy after it fell off?

AND: Though Dr. Dre is widely credited with creating the sound and launching the style, there's another hip-hop producer who people say did it first, and that Dre may have heard his work and beaten him to the market. But who is this mystery mix master? And how could that be? We're leaving no stone... or chronic flake... unturned!

Hit play and let's get funky on the mic like an old batch of collard greens!
