| r/hiphopheads Essential Album of the Week #84: Warren G - Regulate... G Funk Era Posted: 08 Mar 2017 04:12 AM PST Welcome to the new and improved Essential Album of the Week discussion thread! Every Wednesday we will discuss an album from our Essential Albums list Last Week: Mac Dre - Young Black Brotha: The Album This Week: Warren G - Regulate... G Funk Era Stream/Purchase Songs/Singles Background/Description (courtesy of allmusic.com) Anchored by the laid-back G-funk anthem "Regulate," Warren G's appropriately titled Regulate...G Funk Era embodies the mid-'90s era of Cali sunshine, endless blunts, and switch-hittin' lowriders with a welcome and somewhat surprising sense of kind-heartedness. Unlike most of his West Coast G-funk peers, Warren doesn't celebrate drive-by gang-bangin', dirty-money stackin', nor G's-up, hoes-down pimpin'. Sure, he says the F word once in a while and puffs on the cheeba-cheeba when it's passed his way, but he's essentially a good-natured, all-ages rapper, interested in nothing more than good ol'-fashioned hip-hop. He professes his demeanor succinctly on the catchy hook to "This DJ," the other era-defining highlight here: "It's kinda easy when you're listening to the G-ed-up sound/Pioneer speakers bumpin' as I smoke on a pound/I got the sound fo yo' ass and it's easy to see/That this DJ be Warren G." Like his stepbrother Dr. Dre, Warren is a more talented producer than rapper, and it's his by-the-book G-funk beat-making that truly shines here. For instance, another album highlight, "Do You See," boasts an elastic bassline and whistling synth hook, capturing the essence of G-funk as only Dre himself could. Warren further compensates for his middling rapping with a couple of guests, a few skits, and a brief running time. Even if "Regulate" and "This DJ" tower far above everything else here, Regulate...G Funk Era is nonetheless a minor gem among the myriad G-funk albums of the mid-'90s, and Warren embodies the style itself here with a precision perhaps second only to his older brother and does so with a refreshing air of harmlessness. Guidelines This is an open thread for you to share your thoughts on the album. Avoid vague statements of praise or criticism. This is your chance to practice being a critic. It's fine for you to drop by just to say you love the album, but let's try and step it up a bit!!! How has this album affected hip-hop? WHY do you like this tape? What are the best tracks? Do you think it deserves the praise it gets? Is it the first time you've listened to it? What's your first impression? Have you listened to the artist before? Explain why you like it or why you don't. DON'T FEEL BAD ABOUT BEING LATE !!!! Discussion throughout the week is encouraged. Next week's EAOTW will be Above the Law - Black Mafia Life [link] [comments]  |

| Anything like Rage Against The Machine? Posted: 11 Mar 2017 07:56 PM PST Hey I just wanted to ask around and see if there's any artist that's evenly remotely similar to Rage Against The Machine. Doesn't have to have a metal aspect to it but just the sort of flow and anger twoards the music [link] [comments]  |
