Warren G「Regulate」(94年)。Roscoe's前の露店で買ったMichael McDonald「I Keep Forgettin'」を4小節ループ。フックのBob James「Sign of the Times」は@regulator自身の口笛でサンプルではない。Akai MPC 60とYamaha SY77で構築、Young Gunsのセリフも刻んだ。

Coolio「Fantastic Voyage」(94年)は、相棒DJ Winoの制作。80年Lakeside同名曲のファンクを大胆に下敷きにしつつ、Dre「The Day the Niggaz Took Over」やStevie Wonder「Superstition」の断片も重ねた多層構造。MVはF. Gary Gray監督で、B-Realも顔を出す。 https://t.co/FumgzxP2WB

9/12に59歳で亡くなったTone Capone。Luniz「I Got 5 On It」(95年)のネタClub Nouveau「Why You Treat Me So Bad」は、ループでなく弾き直しで構築。フックのMichael Marshallは、そのリフの原型Timex Social Club「Thinkin' About Ya」の共作者本人だった。

RBXの1stソロ『The RBX Files』(95年)。Dre&Snoopのいとこで、Chronic・Doggystyleに客演後、Death Row離脱を経て発表。元Chronic制作陣Gregski制作だが、あえてG-funkのシンセを避けたダンジョン調ビート。Suge Knightへの当てつけ「A.W.O.L.」収録。

Thirty years ago this month, 2Pac was murdered in Las Vegas. When I got home from covering the trial, I wanted to write one final piece about what the verdict means.

It metastasized into a 7,500-word essay about the last 30 years of American conspiracies, "Twin Peaks: The Return," the atomic history of Las Vegas and the threat of AI apocalypse, the parasites of the YouTube rap murder economy, the decay of journalism, random acquaintances texting me screenshots of myself taking notes in the courtroom, our true crime obsession, and why it's hard to believe anything but what you see with your own eyes.

Hieroglyphics(@HieroImperium)が13年ぶり新作『All Said And Done』発表。A-Plus・Domino・DJ Toure全曲セルフプロデュース。Dominoは93年「Getto Jam」でBattlecat制作のシンセ主体トラックに乗ったが、今作は一転ブーンバップ主体。新曲「The Way That It Be」MV: https://t.co/wzE0HwWERS

Above The Law「Call It What U Want」(『Black Mafia Life』収録)は、客演2PacがG-funkという呼称を初めてレコードに刻んだ曲。ネタはFunkadelic「Freak of the Week」。Cold 187um曰く、録音はDreの『The Chronic』より先行、契約トラブルで発売が遅れた。

Xzibitの2nd『40 Dayz & 40 Nightz』(98年)がSony Legacyから重量盤で再発。Likwit Crew由来の生々しいブーンバップが軸だが、Sir Jinxと@xzibit自身が手がけた「Shroomz」はOhio Players「Funky Worm」を引用していて、G-funkのシンセ源流に触れる一曲になっている。

Dr.DreがG-funk確立前の89年、Michel'le「No More Lies」はRuthless在籍のR&Bシンガーに提供した曲。ドラムはJames Brown「Funky Drummer」そのまま、シンセベースを重ねる作り。Eazy-E製作総指揮、ミックスはDreとYella。The Chronic以前のプロトG-funkとして聴ける。

「Regulate」(94年)は@regulator とNate Doggの共作。イントロの台詞ネタは映画『Young Guns』(88年)、VHSを直接MPC60に繋いで録ったという。ビートの元ネタMichael McDonald「I Keep Forgettin'」を遡るとLeiber&Stollerが62年にChuck Jacksonへ書いた曲に行き着く。
