Album Notes & Community Reviews

Introducing the laid-back, synthesizer-heavy G-Funk sound to global audiences, this single forever altered the commercial trajectory of West Coast hip-hop. Built upon a smooth sample of Leon Haywood's 'I Want'a Do Something Freaky to You', the track perfectly highlights the effortless vocal chemistry between Dr. Dre and a young Snoop Doggy Dogg. Its massive crossover success definitively proved that gangsta rap could dominate mainstream pop radio.
