"Diggin' In The Crates for Hip-Hop Classics!".......2005-08-25

This is one of the best Hip-Hop compilations to date! Focusing mostly on rare singles released between '81-'86. The sound quality is great as well. No other compilation (at least I'm yet to see it) has "HERE COMES THAT BEAT", "DRAG RAP (triggerman)" or "I CAN"T WAIT (to rock the mike)". Some of the ILLEST B-Boy cuts are found on this CD. This IS Hip-Hop!

great songs, but could have been better.......2005-09-01

I grabbed this cd because I do not own every cd by Big Moe and this compilation seemed to have a good balance of songs I have & have not heard. But as I listened, I noticed there were "skits" that were not really skits & several tracks that were poorly recorded and sound as if they had been taken from the old cassettes from the Dj Screw days. Overall they should have cut out the filler & made this an 11 to 12 track masterpiece that really would have showed off the quality of Big Moe's music.

An ingenious musical triumph squandered by the record industry.......2007-01-17

Probably the best example of Industry Rule #4,080 ("record company people are shady...") is Nate Dogg's amazing double album "G-Funk Classics Vol. 1-2." This is a simply brilliant musical product that has never received fair sales or recognition because of poor decisions by record labels. "G-Funk Classics, Vol. 1-2" is in fact two separate albums. The second disc was recorded to be an album between 1995 and 1996 called "The Prodigal Son" on Death Row Records. Had this been released by Suge Knight, I am sure that this would have followed suit as a critical and commercial success in the procession of platinum selling classics like "The Chronic," "Doggystyle," and "Dogg Food," complete with the guest appearances, W-Balls interludes, and all. Of course, the collapse of Death Row around 1996 led to this album being shelved for years, with enough time for Nate to go back to the studio and independently record "The Ghetto Preacher," the first disc of this set, which he finished by 1998. Since time had passed and options were limited, Nate was forced to release these as a double album independently, and thus is this product with the fairly shabby packaging and virtually no promotion, so much that it was out of print within only a few years. Over the years both discs have been frequently and poorly re-released by multiple labels to little success.

But both discs are overall phenomenal. They sound like a full, cohesive album and there's really no flaw in any. On "G-Funk Classics" it's so easy to see why Nate is the world's most sought after hook man. Nate has more style than any three R&B singers combined. He comes across as a seasoned Long Beach gangster, as hard and tough as any gangsta rapper, yet the smooth edge he polishes over each of his productions leaves you with a great impression. The way he tells stories of his dealings in his hometown, interactions with women, philosophies, and problems are convincing and entertaining. As I'm sure you know by now, his voice is also very enticing. His deep, soulful baritone expresses so much emotion. The production is absolutely extraordinary. While Nate calls it G-Funk, the style he really puts across on these discs is not like the Warren G and Snoop Dogg G-Funk that we all think of. Over woozy, soulful beats, Nate's solo songs could be labeled G-Soul. There's not a poor production to be found on either disc, these are the kind of songs that get stuck in your head and you love it. An all-star production team including LT Hutton, Warren G, Teddy Riley, Daz Dillinger, and Soopafly make what is some of the best laidback west coast music I've ever heard. This is the perfect soundtrack for riding slow in the car or chilling out by yourself. People who think that Nate carry an album by himself have no idea. He exhibits enough talent, character, and style that easily fill two discs of ultimate quality. Another piece that makes "G-Funk Classics" so fulfilling is the guest appearances. Each guest appearance is A-list, making for a who's who of west coast hip hop. Guest rappers include Snoop Dogg, Daz Dillinger, Kurupt, Tray Deee, Big Syke, and even 2Pac. "G-Funk Classics" is completely unlike anything I've ever heard and if this weren't such a victim of misfortune this would be an undisputed classic among the top of west coast albums. I can't recommend it any higher.

Disc 1, aka "The Prodigal Sun," is the one recorded later. It starts off with one of Nate's best songs ever, "The Hardest Man in Town." This song is produced by New Jack Swing legend Teddy Riley, of Guy and Blackstreet fame, so it's surprising to hear a beat from him that is so lovably woozy with synths and heavy bass with funk instrumentation. It's an excellent production and Nate totally does it justice with a perfect performance. His lyrics speak of "the hardest man in town," the guns that cause and solve problems in lives. The song "G-Funk" has a great musical track too, using funky guitars for a great backing. Nate sings in an emotional joyful style, expressing happiness of seeing "Long Beach on the map" and talking about what music means to him. "First We Pray" is upbeat and hard, discussing the daily dealings in Long Beach. Nate talks about what he would do if he owned the world on "My World," and on the wonderful "Crazy, Dangerous," he makes a soulful performance about the hood mentality over an excellent, droopy beat. "These Days" is another remarkable song, where Nate expresses sadness over the tough state of his life, with great production from Daz. The nice "Bag o' Weed" precedes the slow and bass-heavy "Dirty H...'s Drawers." "Scared of Love" is a softer and enjoyable song, which comes before the phenomenal "Me & My Homies," a joyful anthem about hanging out with his friends, featuring one of 2Pac's last verses. "Because I Got a Girl" shows a lot of style, and the upbeat and ultra-funky "My Money" is another of my absolute favorites. "Never Leave Me Alone" is just wonderful, and the album ends with the conscious "Where Are You Going?" which addresses the state of the world with a great performance.

Either one of these discs is perfect by itself, but the fact that they're together makes it that much better. The second one, the earlier Death Row material, begins with the extra-funky "Who's Playing Games?", a definite highlight. "I Don't Wanna Hurt No More" is a mournful and deep performance. My favorite track on either disc, though, is "Just Another Day," a perfect, fast beat with heavy bass and synths that allows Nate to shine with a great chorus and verses talking about the strains of being a performer. After the good collabo "She's Strange" is the slow and excellent "Almost in Love." "No Matter Where I Go" is fast, soulful, and a lyrical highlight. "Stone Cold" is a very unique and interesting song, which comes before "Friends," a classic featuring Snoop and Kurupt, a g-funk update to the Whodini standard. Snoop and Tha Dogg Pound show up again for "Puppy Love," an archetypical DPG track. "It's Goin' Down Tonight" once again displays Nate Dogg at his best, and the Warren G collabo "Nobody Does It Better" entertainingly speaks of life after "Regulate." The light "Sexy Girl" features Big Syke from Thug Life, and the self explanatory "Dogg Pound Gangstaville" follows. The last song is "Never Too Late," a horn-fueled Nate Dogg signature ballad.

If you take nothing else from this review, know that "G-Funk Classics" is a truly special double album from an amazing talent with amazing production. His next album "Music and Me" is also good but not on the level of this one. Everything goes right on these records. It's an absolute shame that this is so hard to find today. Is it worth the $30-$40? Well, for two full CDs of rare, 5-star material, this reviewer says yes, although that's a steep price to pay for any music. If this comes your way, it would be a crime not to pick it up. "G-Funk Classics" is that remarkable.

I LOVE IT, IVE WANTED THIS FOR 3 YEARS N JUST GOT IT AND ITS GREAT.......2006-04-14

This Album is a certified classic in my opinion. This is a very rare and valualbe album. As far as I know, Nate Dogg has been on countless songs by other artists. Despite his amazing talent as far as I know hes only come out with 2 albums. His newest one is called "Music & Me". I think that that one is alright. No offense 2 him but I definetely think it could have been better. The thing is you really have to have a good appreciation for REAL CLASSIC G-Funk. Ive been loving GFunk for years, so I can really appreciate his music. But if your new to Nate Dogg, and new to the overall G-Funk genre, than I wouldnt recomment listening to "Music & Me", I would reccomend "G-Funk Classics Vol. 1 & 2". If your looking for a mindless, pointless charade of people yelling and jumping around like brainless animals, I mean Crunk music, than you definetely do not want to get this. However if your lookin for a smooth laid back collection of West Coast music than this is the best thing. THis album makes me feel care free, with out stress and also spits some good game too.This is the kind of Cd that makes you feel pimpish as hell and like you THA MAN, haha. Everytrack has something good to offer. THis is a cd you can play all the way through. Its somewhat of an acquired taste. So to those of you who are already fans of the G-FUnk genre, than you all will LOVE THISSSS, thats if you really understand G Funk, and its Roots, influences and history. But to those of you with no idea, its still a pretty good chill album. GET IT GO GET IT GO GET IT, its worth the price, Because nobody has this!!!!! Its rare, go get it babay.

4.5 star Debut from the King of Hooks.......2004-12-23

After first hearing Nate Dogg on Dr. Dre's "The Chronic" in late 1992 he has been my favorite "singer" around. After a long wait for this album to finally drop I'm glad it did because it is one good double disc CD. The first disc was released in 1997 but was very rare and hard to find. Out of the 28 songs on here I skip 5, and 5 are just ok; which means it could have been a classic 18 song album, but it's still a very good one. It has 3 classics and 15 good or great songs on here. The production is great for Nate's voice and is done mostly by Daz Dillinger, Soopafly, Nate Dogg, Warren G, and LT Hutton (all do at least 3 songs) with 2 or 3 others contributiong to a song each. The guests are mostly his old LBC homies. A must have West coast G-Funk album.

very good production.......2004-12-17

this cd collection contains relaxing songs which still allude to gangster rap, although nate dogg may not be directly in the gangster scene. his voice is so unique and the beats are also very unique and well crafted, which is why this album deserves 5 stars.

Album is the shiznit.......2004-11-09

When I first heard Nate Dogg, on the Chronic back in '92, Doggystyle in '93, Dogg Food, Regulate and Above the Rim in '94, and practically every album, every single year since, I thought this guy is all that. I bought this album when it came out. Simply by accident. I am from Halifax, and these types of albums, don't usually come to the Eastern most point in Canada. But I lucked out.
It was on the shelf, and I am a huge fan of his, so I could not pass it up. This album is smooth and funky, hard and raw, plus, this album is in my top 10 of all time best albums. I have over 400 albums, and I mean when I say, this album really kicks ass.

This cd is garbage with recycled songs such as "Southside" by Lil Keke, The late Fat Pat song, "Top Drops" and South Parks Mexican's "Merry Go Round". Those songs are tight but they are played out and how many mixed cds have those songs on them. The answer to my question is a lot. And the rest of the songs on the cd are from wack Houston cats. It is so funny that I think my grandma can be on the cd and she is 72 years old. Just because you are from Houston and got gold teeth doesn't mean you can rap so all yall Houston cats besides Chamillionaire, Slim Thug, and Lil Keke need to put down the mic.

Perfectly titled: for the appreciation of the connoisseur........2002-07-26

I generally refrain from writing reviews unless I feel I have more to say than, "This is fantastic." But, well, "This is FANTASTIC!" (Does emphasis count as more?) The cuts on this collection bear little resemblance to what passes for hip hop in today's mainstream. The things that make Ja Rule, Jadakiss, and Jay-Z platinum sellers are conspicuously and completely absent from this record. (Remember records?) For anyone looking for a taste of, as the title indicates, hip hop classics, however, this album is perfectly put together. Running the gamut from the hardcore East Coast classic opener "Eric B. Is President" to Too Short's ridiculously-enjoyable-for-something-so-ridiculous "Freaky Tales", this album provides an excellent sampling of excellent beats and lyrics. As I said, I haven't much too say on it, but am convinced that the devotee will enjoy it as much as the neophyte will likely be disappointed and confused by it.

I didn't like the remakes of the classics. There was no need for this cd. The classics are best left alone. There were remakes of "Between the sheets" and "Thin line between love and hate," those were the classics. "Classics for the OG's, Vol.1" was not a classic in anyway. I was not satisfied with any of the tracks.

how not to sound on a talkbox.......2005-04-21

The talkbox vocals on this CD sucks! No harmonies what so ever and he's faking the talkbox... he's not even using one! This guy should listen to the works of Zapp and frontman Roger Troutman for more lessons.
