Starting point is 00:32:43 a certain vibe to it where it's like damn okay Warren did that because I like to put that I can't explain it it's just a good feeling I like this and I That's what I'm about.
Starting point is 00:32:57 That's what the G-Funk air is about, just chords, strings, we bring, melodies. Ge-Fong, the rhythm is life. Life. Hey, man, welcome back to the 85 South show. Yeah, yes, sir. Hey, DC, today we don't keep the whole street going. Because, you know, when we bring guests to him, we don't bring nothing but ghetto legends. I'm talking about real ghetto legends, man.
Starting point is 00:33:23 And if you don't know, now, you know, D.C. just got his mind blown because he didn't know Warren G was Warren G. This is a motherfucking legend, bro. He came out the game with a classic. I'm talking about. What the fuck is you talking about? No, I didn't know him and not trained. One of the coolest motherfuckers in the world, bro. Got his own era, the G-funk era. Was in a group with two of the coldest motherfuckers that ever walked this earth person. bro, hit after hit. You know what I mean you love him?

Starting point is 00:34:24 listening to the regular I'm not tweeted I said why the fuck was Warren G riding around in the hood few the dice game
Starting point is 00:34:34 some niggas he don't know get out the car and say what's the right you want to get some buddy
Starting point is 00:34:44 man you want to get some crazy you stop hey that's how he's been hood
Starting point is 00:34:48 you're singing on the shit like look what let me Let me get in there. Hey man, that song right there is a classic. It's got a legendary West Coast sound when you hear.
Starting point is 00:35:00 You already know what it is. And it's what you're potting on the hook. None other than that legendary Nate dog. And then I was asking you earlier, it's like you took a different perspective on that. The rapper always the hero in the song. He'd have slapped all the niggas and got all the bitches. But you took the flip side. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:35:22 What made you take that approach to that? Yes. And let your partner be the hero, though. That's the part that you weren't going to see niggas ever. Just, just telling, I mean, telling it, just how it is, just not being, you know, like on no bullshit. Like, you can't win them up. Right. You know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:35:41 So I wanted to tell the story as far as just, like, having a good time, and then it gets, you know, messed up on some, you know, messed up on some, just rammed. Random hood shit, motherfuckers get to tripping. But actually that story was some things that happened to a couple of my homeboys, and I told it I told it just, I went just a little different with it, but it was a story
Starting point is 00:36:06 that happened like that, really, with some of my homeboys getting jacked. Yeah. The crazy thing about the shit is he broke the song down. I couldn't tear their head off. If you broke the song down line by line, though, the whole story is sound believable.
Starting point is 00:36:22 and reeled them motherfucking bruh this niggas was getting jumped and said if I had wings I would fly
Starting point is 00:36:29 you know some nosed out of you if you wish me had wings you you got to think outside

Starting point is 00:37:11 Yeah It's a clear black Yeah Like tonight, Warrenji Yeah And what happened Oh man
Starting point is 00:37:20 Hey, Friday. Apparently, Warren, he was on the street trying to consume. Hey, trying to consume. We're in on the wrong group of niggas, huh? You know my other favorite line in that song, too. But the mention was ladies. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:37:38 That's why I was saying my favorite line in the song, though, is the second verse. When you come in and you say, now, Nate, you have to free. That's a normal fan. Because, you know, this is the world's introduction and Nate dog so if you
Starting point is 00:37:52 If you ain't know this I need to tell you that Right Before this song came out You had the freaks Uh huh Yeah

Starting point is 00:38:24 every time. So break it down. Like, you know, back then niggas were singing but niggas weren't sanky. You know what I'm saying? But then y'all had a representation of who was gonna be singing.
Starting point is 00:38:34 Like, he was y'all's future. Yeah. Like, how we look at fusion and his future be singing. Like, he really was the one. He went crazy. Like, yeah. He represented that whole west country.

Starting point is 00:41:42 That's my guy. We did. We would talk shit. but at the end of the day no matter how much shit we talk to each other we would always end that shit
Starting point is 00:41:56 and just jump right back into what we were doing because he used to piss me off a lot I ain't gonna lie about that because when we're working one god damn it you need to cut that shit out because he gets up quit being so motherfucking nuts
Starting point is 00:42:10 with these motherfuckers he'd be like won't go on them Nate, what you want me to do? Kill a motherfucker? He used to want me to really be tripping on motherfuckers. And I'm like, Nate, you already know I don't get down like that. But you know how it is when we get down.
Starting point is 00:42:30 Right, right. So you don't know what you already know. But we used to have a ball. We did a song called Joystick. Playing a video game. This nigger said, stop the music. the beat was already playing it's a song that we got called
Starting point is 00:42:48 Joystick a lot of people may have not heard that it was on the 213 album that it got shut down through whatever business shit but we're going to we're just going back on it's going to go back on DSP so that's going to be dope when people get to hear
Starting point is 00:43:04 but that record it was a song called Joystick we playing the video game they said stop the hold of pause the game because we're battling them on the video game in the lounge. So he'd go in there and told my guy, he said, he said, Greg, play that back from the top.
Starting point is 00:43:26 So he jumped in there. The nigger jumped right in there and said, She says she wants to ride my joystick. We was just, he went off of the joystick. Right. He act like she want to ride. My joystick. And he built all of that off a joystick.
Starting point is 00:43:52 And it turned, it was a record. It's another ain't no fun type of record. That's how dope this nigga was. He was just, he was dope. When did you know that regularly? I knew it was a good record, but I didn't know it was going to last this long and be this big.
Starting point is 00:44:12 It's like it started all over again. Like right now, I just, I knew it was a good record. Yeah, I knew it was a good record. It was dope. It was sounding good, everything, like, had all came, like, came together as far as from me sampling the young guns. And what was crazy about that is that I was just looking at the movie because I loved that movie. And when I heard the motherfucker say, regular, he said, we worked for Mr. Ten Dells. regulators.
Starting point is 00:44:46 I said, oh, I looked at the numbers. I wrote them down where he started that at, and I listened to the whole conversation. So I took the RCA cables out of the VCR into my MPC60, and I sampled each part of that to build that intro on Regulate. And from that intro, there, along with the beat already being put together,
Starting point is 00:45:12 because that's what we used to say. we're going to regulate this, we're going to regulate that. That was like the word around like around our crew, the whole death row crew. We're going to regulate that. We got to regulate this. So when I heard him say that, I put that whole shit together as an intro. And that's when I knew. I said, this shit is going to be
Starting point is 00:45:32 monster. But I didn't think it was going to go that far. I just, I thought it would just blow up in L.A. You know, because I didn't care about, no. I just want people to hear my shit. And when that shit got the cracking and the first tour I went on with R. Kelly

Starting point is 01:03:29 Well, Tupac came in the picture as far as in my life. Through MC Breed, D.L.C. and Rodney G. They called me like, Warner, you got some beats. Rodney manages MC Breed, and he won't want some beats for his record for his album. So I was like, hell, yeah. So I just started putting shit together You know putting beats together And then when I got to the studio
Starting point is 01:03:56 I played the beat Mm-hmm Boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom Boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom But I had the I had the beats The drums riding up under that motherfucker And read her

I just started EQing and putting bait on here with the drums. Gating shit. Right. So I mixed it right on the spot, too. So that was my first introduction into, to, you know,
Starting point is 01:05:28 people really knowing who I am as far as a producer. And then from that, after that, I did Endo Smoke. That happened on a humbug, just going to the studio fucking with Snoop and Dre now. John Singleton and Paul Stewart in the studio, they was like, we hear, we're doing a sound. soundtrack for poetic justice. Like, man, can I play something for you? So they were like, shit, yeah.

Starting point is 01:06:29 of change, like, I made something off of the Tupac and Breed. It wasn't like a whole bunch, but it was enough, you know, to where I was like, damn, I bought me a bucket, gave my sister some money because I was living with her. And, but but that endow smoke
Starting point is 01:06:49 opened up, you know, that, that was a different, that was a bag. Plus, it was something that I loved doing. Right. And they blew it up, and Tupac was on the same movie.

Starting point is 01:31:31 You know Because I was like This was like This is a dope artist. That's one of the dopest artists. One I always wanted to produce for. But it probably
Starting point is 01:31:44 would trip me out if we did get in and work production, and I'm doing the production, I would just have to sit with as a producer just so we could yeah, so we could really get into making a hit record. And that's what it happened with a lot of artists and producers sit down. You got to get in.
Starting point is 01:32:01 And really just That's how we made all our hit records. We went in there having conversation. It was, we partied now, but we, we'd be in there and a conversation to turn into a song. Ain't no fun. All that seemed to me. Turned it to a song, you know. A lot of the records that was, that was, that we did on the people we felt, all that shit was,
Starting point is 01:32:24 were conversations from the riots and seeing the shit we were seeing, like some of the skits, uh, all that stuff was just conversations. and just relax and not trying to make a hit record. Yeah. Just in there, having a good time. Yeah. The shit came out right
Starting point is 01:32:45 and the lady's going to tell you if you got a hit record as well because they're going to be like, hey. You know, if they ain't doing that, then something ain't right. You're talking about that. That's beautiful. Beautiful time.
Starting point is 01:33:01 That was she were real then. They were famous, I was famed you. Yeah. I see like credit now. I gotta get a fuck about you being famous Raymond.
Starting point is 01:33:08 Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. You get your ass out by things. You'd be like, damn.

Starting point is 01:33:31 I don't. It's probably past that, I'm sure. Classic. Hell yeah. That one had to, that one right there changed the whole game, man. You know, man. Hey, man, what more can you sing? Everything that he didn't put out.
Starting point is 01:33:54 Like, it's just like, from the talking shit to the music to the producing, man. You want to bless us with at this point. I just love just love doing it, you know. I mean, I, I ain't, I'm still active on it, you know. Keep going. We start around here. You know, you look, you know, shit right in here. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 01:34:25 I can hear the melody now. Oh, man, go on lock. You get on lock, too, with D.C. No gap No man We're doing with the music now I mean this far as like The future
Starting point is 01:34:46 How you see it I think that We need to come up with a A system Kind of like the CD era Where I'm gonna say it And as soon as somebody create that, they're going to kill the gang to where, you know,
Starting point is 01:35:07 people could just go buy it like how, like buying a seat. Yeah. And that ain't taken away from the artists, you know what I mean? Especially if you're independent, you're selling it for $10, for $20, whatever it is. That's all your shit. Right. You got $100,000. That's all you need is 100,000 people to buy that $10.
Starting point is 01:35:29 You're good. great and soon as somebody come up with a system like that to where
Starting point is 01:35:37 people can feel like it's that era again a CD era and artists can feel like that
Starting point is 01:35:44 like out of the trunk era like my CDs somebody got to create some type of technology or they need
Starting point is 01:35:54 to go back to that that technology and create a new a machine that plays once you go buy this because it helps the artist
Starting point is 01:36:06 so they can really get what they're supposed to get instead of getting what they say something to a penny not even to a penny it ain't even a penny yeah this that's crazy
Starting point is 01:36:17 that's straight highway robbery that shit is crazy that's some crazy shit right they ain't got about an album but they can listen to it yeah that jukebox at that point
Starting point is 01:36:29 oh listen digital this shit we can't you can't track that shit you they're dictating this shit what we want to pay y'all there's some crazy shit and I think that just somebody need to create a different technology
Starting point is 01:36:43 where everybody can get there as which I'm hearing a couple things about different platforms I can't remember the one off top I think Snoop involved with it with that blockchain type of shit but I ain't into that type of stuff that blockchain shit I'm just saying
Starting point is 01:36:59 something just regular. Right. Physical copy, CD type of Yeah, just some type of technology and something that can work with that technology that you build which you have to buy this in order to get it.
Starting point is 01:37:14 But that physical copy actually allows the fan to feel like they're connected with the artist because they got something that's a part of you. And it's not being leaked. You can only get it when it come out. Right. And that'll change the game. And when you get older,
Starting point is 01:37:29 we could get to. Hopefully that could happen. I still buy DVD. They got DVD for 50 cent at the Ponshire. I went crazy. I went crazy. I'm in a fun shot. I'm like, you got this? I'm like, I'm like, how much is it? You know they were a nigga came to it for free?
