G-Funk Page #3

---

I was the producer/artist/DJ,

and Snoop was just like

the architect, the player,

the pimp, the gangster,

all in one.

We wasn't sh*t

until we all came together

and took all of those powers

and maximized our strengths.

You know, people knew

who we were,

so we would come in the club

and come in and just turn

the whole club upside down.

You know, and I set it off.

You drink whiskey

I drink wine

Come on everybody

It's gangster time Boom!

[hip-hop music playing]

You know, those were,

like, some of

the funnest times of my life.

[Snoop Dogg] It was just

Snoop, Nate Dogg, Warren G,

always was about the group.

All of us.

[Warren G] Music, family,

you know, and just friends.

That's what it was.

That's how we became

popular in the city.

You know, that's when 213

actually started

to mean something.

[Snoop Dogg] Naturally the

neighborhood loved it, but...

it's trying to get

the world to love it.

And once we would

take our cassette

to certain people and have

meetings with record labels

or executives or whatnot,

or people that we could get

to at that time,

we weren't what they

were lookin' for. Never.

[Warren G]

Dre came into my life,

I probably was around

seven, eight years old.

My father married Andre's mom.

I didn't have no brothers.

["La Dre" Bolton]

People say they're brothers,

people say

they're step-brothers,

I say they're brothers.

They grew up

in the same house, so...

Dre, at the time, too,

was really trying to figure out,

you know, his path in the game.

You know,

I mean, he was producing

World Class

Wreckin' Cru's stuff,

but I don't know if his heart

was totally into that style.

So he started working

with Eazy-E and me

and started doing

the NWA thing.

[Warren G] The World Class

Wreckin' Cru and the NWA,

they inspired us a lot,

you know.

We was around that

and just wanted to be like them.

Oftentimes, Warren would come to

the studio to hang out with us.

Um, this was before Death Row.

I mean, you know,

I knew Warren G was...

He was always there.

So I never not saw him.

[Warren G] We shot Dre a tape of some

of the music that we had, but...

I don't even know

if he listened to it or he...

He did or he didn't.

He was just like... [scoffs]

Snoop used to

get discouraged a lot,

you know, because

wasn't nothin' happenin'.

My mind was tellin' me,

you know,

"Man, f*** this rap sh*t.

Ain't no money in it."

So I would give up

and not focus on my craft.

At one point,

I had got so frustrated

where I just took

all of my rhymes,

I had about, like, 100 raps

all wrote down on paper.

I just took all

them motherfuckers

and just threw them

in the trash,
