Comment:
This is A Double CD introduction to the 90's hip hop style called G-Funk. From a period of about '92-'98 this style of rap ruled the music video and air waves. It was a style pioneered by ex-N.W.A member Dr. Dre and Above The Law's Cold 187um, characterized by a slow tempo and a groove often built upon lengthy p-funk samples, with rappers focusing on flow rather than lyrical content or prowess. This is evident in common appearances by Parliament/Funkadelic's George Clinton, Zapp's Roger Troutman and The Gap Band's Charlie Wilson in rappers songs. From '96 onward popularity in the style declined with Eazy-E & 2Pac's deaths, Dr. Dre's production style moving towards a more dark and theatrical style amongst other factors. It was centered around the state of California but had followers in the US mid-west and south.Sure this music can be kind of violent and homophobic and misogynistic and well... okay it is pretty morally deplorable all around but it is good fun and a lot of fun was had as youth getting high and causing trouble with this sort of thing as the soundtrack and if you don't take it seriously you should be fine. A lot of these are at the heart just sunny party rap songs. Todays west coast gangsta rap has gone more toward southern influences and Bay Area "Hyphy" music which just isn't that fun.
Feedback:
i am afraid i am on the side that takes "moraly deplorable"
seriously. violent and homophobic and misogynistic and fun? i don't get it.

I think there is a greater issue of separating music from the message in your qualm. Would I listen to racist music because it was well composed and catchy? probably not. Should I listen to this if I don't believe in the message? I'd say it is slightly different I'd say this is only to be listened to with a smirk.
whoa cool! i'm definitely gonna dl this... props to you!
I try to "listen and let listen" as far my tastes in music go in relation to others'. The historical perspective you provide is interesting - and I have tried again to find something in this style that works for me - but in that respect I guess I'm with mahdisdain. Thanks for your efforts anyway.
Rap is certainly not the only genre to promote violence, misogyny, and the like. But, then again, I am hard pressed to think of another genre that has endorsed (and even glamorized) a culture of violence on such a wide-spread level.Having said that, this isn't exactly my cup of tea, but I do remember a couple of these fondly, and I've been known to enjoy Death Row's Greatest Hits once in a blue moon. Kudos for a well-considered compilation.
BHC - You seem to have a healthy approach to the genre,there is a certain cartoon violence vibe to it.
I am not sure everyone who listens separates as well as you and it is a terrible message to send to a generation of youth. Of a different generation I have been unable to make the transition from Parliment/Funkadelic to hip hop. Thanks for sharing.

Awesome. I can't wait to here this. Great, great compilation.
Great stuff and it's aged really well. 'Regulate' is a killer track.
I only know the Dre/Dogg track, but I do really like that. Great overview.
