Warren brought Snoop, Nate, Korrupt, Daz, and a few others I'm forgetting. That makes him responsible for over half of the artist at Death Row... and never got paid for any of it. He even wrote and produced songs for these guys and Dre didn't sign him or pay him. 🤔

Regulate was the first rap song I loved and Warren the first rapper I loved. I say this on all videos that feature him, he is criminally overlooked as a rapper and producer, and like everyone else says, he is such a humble and down-to-earth guy.

I see why Dre sits on a lot of music and doesnt release it. He needs someone around him to tell him he's wrong. No way in h.e. double hockey sticks was he right about the Regulate song. That song stood the test of time for decades. Greatest song in hip hop, next to Gangster's Paradise, etc.

The Regulator = West Coast Hip Hop Vet !!!!
I remember working at a sporting good shop as a manager. I got called up to the register. The cashier informed me that a gentlemen was using a credit card but didn’t have his ID on him. I looked at the card and it said Warren Griffin III on it. I looked at the customer and told the cashier “he’s good”. After he was done paying, he gave me 6 tickets to his show that night at the Warfield, which was about a block away. He’s a super nice guy and came off as a quiet guy. A introvert of sorts.
Gotta love Warren’s energy
Just remembered my mom met Warren G in Europe on a train. All the younger people new who he was but her being in her 60's at the time didn't know. She said they had a real nice conversation.
Dope human, so humble and sincere. Salute to Warren G.
Warren G man the music industry needed his influence, talent and ingredients for the legacy Rap music. Salute Warren G . Big Boy
I love Warren G, and it's unfortunate that Dre kinda left him high and dry when it was time to go on tour - But the end result... that first record Regulate... G Funk Era is on par with The Chronic and Doggystyle. It's a very nice, chill easy summer record.

You cannot have a hip hop conversation without talking about Warren G. Brother is a pioneer, a game changer, a legend, an innovator, a master craftsman, a technician, a poet, a storyteller, with an impeccable flow and delivery. We love Warren G over here in the U.K. and we want you over here soon. Ice Cube and Cypress Hill touring in the U.K. late 2023 but Warren…Mr G….Sir…the U.K. wants you. Regulators mouth up and come to the U.K. 🙏🏻
I'm a huge fan of Warren. Regulate..G funk era was the first rap album I ever bought as a kid. It still holds up incredibly well. And the other music in his catalog is excellent as well. Massively underrated artist. Such a great interview.

Lot of modern day rappers need to see how legends act.. The ability to string along a sentence without constantly boasting.
Tht was my first love as well homie. I’m glad you never gave up bru and kept it going. When I look back to the music Tht made me fall in love with music. Regulators , chronic, the dogg pound ,biggie , bone thugs and harmony , Tupac, and all the greats from the late 80’s early 90’s. There will never be music like Tht again. Ty for all the tunes and the memories made by all of your music.
