g-funk

G-funk, short for gangsta funk, (or funk rap) is a sub-genre of gangsta rap that emerged from the West Coast scene in the early 1990s. The genre was heavily influenced by the synthesizer-heavy 1970s funk sound of Parliament-Funkadelic (aka P-Funk), often incorporated through samples or re-recordings. It was represented by commercially successful albums such as Dr. Dre’s The Chronic (1992) and Snoop Dogg’s Doggystyle (1993).
