Regulate... G Funk Era 1994 Album

Warren G

Everyone knows 'Regulate', it is probably a track that got many people into hip hop, and is as much Nate's song as it is Warren G's. Apart from not having quite as big an influence on the genre, the same can be said for the following song. From there though, apart from 'This D.J.', (the three singles from this album were appropriately chosen) that is another classic, the album never reaches great heights. Another issue is that although he produced the whole thing, vocally I don't think Warren put his stamp on it. There are a lot of features and 'Super Soul Sis' doesn't feature Warren at all. Nevertheless, while I have been torn between 3.5 and 4 more so than with many other albums, the three classics and that the quality is never too low, means that this '94 release just scrapes in for four outta five. Best Tracks: Regulate, Do You See, This D.J.
