FYI: DJ ZarathustrA - G-Funk Era Rap (10/25/09) - Show #3

[ZarathustrA]

G-funk, or Gangsta-Funk, is a sub-genre of hip hop music that emerged from West Coast gangsta rap in the early 1990s. It was a dominant sound that put west coast hip hop on the map. G-funk (which uses funk music with artificially lowered tempos) incorporates multi-layered and melodic synthesizers, slow hypnotic grooves, a deep bass, background female vocals, the extensive sampling of funk tunes, and a high portamento sine wave keyboard lead.

(abridged version of Wikipedia: G-Funk)

Here's a track to give you an idea of what to expect.
