“When you’re making magic, sometimes the ingredients don’t come with instructions” – Snoop Dogg
During the early 90s the G Funk style of hip-hop emerged from Los Angeles, combining melodic elements of Motown, Funk, and R&B with socially-aware gangsta rap. For the first time in history, a hip-hop album debuted at #1 on the pop charts and the genre became a staple of mainstream American culture. The movement began with Warren G, Snoop Dogg, and Nate Dogg. As childhood friends, the trio formed the group 213 and were discovered by Death Row Records. Death Row went on to support Snoop Dogg and Nate Dogg, and while the two rose to international stardom, Warren G moved back to Long Beach with hopes of making it on his own. The film follows his rise and the impact of G Funk on pop culture.

Dope AF documentary 😎 !!
❤
This documentary is so well put together, where the great music is intertwined with the storytelling. A perfect example starts @9:54 where Warren G says “Boom.”
7:54 rakim ain’t no joke song cold asl wish I was my age in highschool back in the 80s being a teen in the 80s had to be some different
I did that as a kid with my brother selling candy. S/O SFV
Nothing beats G funk
Mannn, that St. Ides commercial @1:15:25 with Nate was a fav. That jingle was a hit! 🙏🏾

I was first introduced to hip-hop through warren g music in 1999. I didn't know much about his life, but I finally learned about the history of my favorite musician thanks to this documentary. Thank you. A man who loves g-funk in faraway Korea.. (use translator)

The fact no one stood up for warren is BS, anyone of them could have said "if warren isn't in then we have an issue". Treacherous
Warren had absolutely NO worries the the '94 Grammys, with the 'Green Mile' leading the way…RIP MCD.
