Hip-Hop Listening Club of the Week #253: Nate Dogg - G-Funk Classics, Vol. 1 & 2 Posted: 08 Jun 2018 10:29 AM PDT Welcome to HHH Listening Club! Today we'll be listening to G-Funk Classics, Vol. 1 & 2 by Nate Dogg Background Provided by /u/jandrohinoo Everyone knows it aint a hit till Nate Dogg spits. Nate Dogg was G-funk and G-funk was Nate Dogg. The lifestyle, the voice, the bandanna on the top of his bald ass head, the man was and is a hiphop icon. Originally scheduled to be released in 1995-1996 on Death row records at the height of the West Coast rap, Nate Dogg's debut album G-Funk Classics, Vol. 1 & 2 was released in 1998 on Breakaway. On this album you get exactly what you would expect out of Nate Dogg. A melodious voice, with the signature low voiced laid-back verses and hooks. The double album clocks in at about 2 Hours and 13 Minutes! And all 2 hours plus of this album is completely worth the time. Themes of Love, Self Medicating, Fear, and God; all torment the psyche of Nate Dogg, as he professes his love for the gangster life and fear of it at the same time. G-Funk Classics, Vol. 1 & 2 is unlucky in the sense that if it wasn't for a label getting in the way of a proper release for Nate Dogg, I feel this album would have catapulted him to his true potential; as Nate Dogg is one of, if not the, greatest hip hop hook artists off all time. Had this album released when it was supposed to, it might have been just what it claims: a g-funk classic. Regardless, Nate Dogg gone and not forgotten has evolved into a special niche in hip hop, and will forever be remembered for his beautiful gospel like voice over numerous classics. RIP (1969-2011) 41 years young. Notable Songs on the Album.

[DISCUSSION] Lil Wayne -Tha Carter III (10 years later) Posted: 08 Jun 2018 06:02 AM PDT It's been ten years since this classic dropped, what y'all think of it? Personally, I can't pick a favorite song, I mean it's just so fucking good. If I had to pick favorite songs, they'd be A Milli, Dr. Carter, Mr. Carter, and Comfortable.
