Warren G emerged with the wave of
talent that came out of Long Beach
in the early 1990's following the
footsteps of his brother, the
legendary Dr. Dre. Back in the day,
Warren was a DJ for a locally trio
called 213, consisting of his best
friend, Snoop Doggy Dogg and Nate Dogg.
In fact, it was Warren who introduced
Snoop to Dre after passing along Snoop's
demo to Dre at a bachelor party.
Before that, Warren worked the
turntables for a group called Perfection,
Warren remains loyal to his roots.
The so-called Long Beach sound and a
potent stew of oldies riffs and funky
bass lines jacked up with straight
street intensity and long ago boiled
over the edges of 21st and Lewis, the
inner-city corner where G-Funk was born.
It's an international recipe now.
Everybody's got their own flavor.
"It's still Long Beach music, but ain't
nobody doing it like me," says Warren G.
"This is upgraded hip-hop to the fullest.
It's music that's real and music that
sells. It's about young people, but it
catches older crowds, too. That's good
communication. I try to make every song on
the album good enough to be a single.
That's good business."
Warren G says, "I got to this level
and it's beautiful," he says.
"But then again, I`ll always feel
or try to recognize that this is still
the beginning. I'm trying to get to
the top by continually pushing my limits."
