West Coast Icon Warren G: Untold Stories Behind 'Regulate' & G-Funk • R&B Money Podcast Ep. 129

[@jalonemontoya4440]

You can tell all Warren G ever wanted was the approval of his big brother.. Honestly, Dr. Dre and the whole West Coast needs to give this man his flower!!

[@anniem.670]

Dre is a jealous queen who can't let no one outshine him.

[@sharabasnight1654]

Yeaaa. I’ve noticed that Dr.Dre barely speaks about Warren G… I also noticed that Warren wasn’t even recognized in the NWA movie, but Snoop was 🫠

[@moniquedoll6923]

@@sharabasnight1654 yeah it’s so deeper hiding family shit there

[@seasonedsofisticate1901]

I really never even knew they were brothers. I thing I vaguely remember they were related but, maybe I knew that…no, I think I thought they were cousins.

[@logent80]

I don't like how Dr. Dre treated Warren G. When death row was going on their first tour, he wouldn't even look out for Warren. He tells him "he has to be his own man" Then when Dr. Dre leaves Death Row, he didn't even tell Warren and he shows up to the studio and almost got beat down! SMH.......

[@msdelicious01]

When J VALENTINE started rapping with WG...that was a moment for him. I'm happy he got that😊

I say this during every interview! He’s the truth when it comes to the industry.

[@YoungAlmighty]

bruh! him rappin that verse with J as the hype man w/ that bay energy was a moment. haha. Yall win.

[@brittanychrissy]

Warren G definitely deserves his flowers. I truly believe everything that’s owed to him will come back around in due time. No one can take his gift… he truly loves the art of music. He’s seems so humble… much blessings to him.

[@chantelmeans6588]

Get Warren his money pls. J, Tank , somebody, get that done. He changed the game.

[@ShadStu804]

Warren G is low key. He deserves these flowers 🙏🏿

[@TheRealMcP]

I can't believe Warren just casually did his entire Ain't No Fun verse!!!

[@PatrickRockwell24]

Warren PLEASE AUDIT these record companies. Give your lawyer 20% of everything that comes in from that audit. It's beyond sad that artist's get their hard work ripped off by a bunch of greedy suits.

[@rcc3music]

F A C T S.

[@seasonedsofisticate1901]

Even if he gets 50% of what is found in an audit it will probably be multi millions.

[@chantelmeans6588]

J. Valentine rapping along 🔥 And pointing out the details 🔥 Shout out to them for putting him on to the Audit.

[@PaulDJPStewart]

J Valentine thx for the recognition when Warren shouted me out 💯🙌

[@tjwhite1177]

I smiled throughout the whole interview. So many memories and good times. Thanks Warren G for your contribution to the culture. It wouldn't be the same without you. A fan, TJ ❤

[@tashashort7357]

I’ve watched Warren G recent interviews on J-HUD talk show, Effective Immediately, One-Song podcast, Radio Stations, Etc, but NOT 1 compare to this!!! When I clicked on and saw who…was on the show this week, my heart smiled. Tank & Jay, thank you so much for this, and Warren G, is not only a West Coast legend, he’s a World-wide Music legend. I consumed this interview like a plate of them Sniffin Griffin beef ribs he spoke of.!!! I LOVED it all, thanks again. -Tasha

[@ZeniyaSimone]

Thank you for another amazing interview, R&B Money! I’m a Gen Zer and appreciated learning about Warren G’s journey. I plan on listening to more of his music and also listening to the full Chronic album because of the project’s significance but also because of Warren’s incredible contributions. I hope that if y’all ever feel underrated or overlooked y’all remember that there are hundreds of thousands of grateful fans that are being introduced/re-introduced to monumental artists, producers, albums, etc. because of what y’all do every week. And younger fans like me are now playing albums like The Chronic, reading song credits online, and appreciating the collective effort that goes into some of the greatest music ever created. And because of that, the art y’all love so much and the people behind it will live on long after this podcast. ❤️

The whole west coast should def Warren G his flowers. I just turned 33 Sunday, growing up in the 90s was a time to be alive! I listen to old school rap instead of today’s 9.9/10. Warren reminds me of my Gpop in his younger years. Cool ass Unc energy 😂 love it! 🫶🏽

[@BigHubeMusic]

the big homie need to have the J G wethworth spirit "its my money and i need it now" give that legend all his coins

[@truth23b]

In a way, I feel bad for Warren, but I also am glad he’s mentioned his shortcomings on the financial side of the music biz. I wouldn’t doubt that within the next 6 months a big story comes from this, specifically speaking to the conversations of audits, Dre, Snoop and unreleased music. I hope he gets his credit! A big s/o to Tank/J for supporting his story and giving him sound advice. 🙏🏾

Warren is a legend! And need all his flowers that's due!🎯

[@marcosmith4764]

Warren go get yo money bruh !

[@88wyrick]

Shout out to R&B money ✊🏾. I love Warren and pray he receive all his flowers. Watching his documentary some years back, it made me realize he was more of a brother to Dre than Dre was to him. Even Snoop seemed to have forgot about him one he got recognized. Warren was a major contributor.

[@frederickreese8398]

Warren G. You and Snoop need to do an entire album with your production

[@adrivega8]

Literally the best interview ever. I feel like he needs to come back i know he has waay more to share.

[@FrequencyFreq]

Shout out Warren G for recognizing Barry White’s “Playing Your Game, Baby” Give BW his flowers!!! 💐🎤🎼

[@angelashell9365]

Why I went and started listening to all his songs Dre and Snoop I miss that era

[@zsanewrice2289]

I finally caught up on all the episodes and idk how to feel that I gotta wait til the next one now!! My absolute favorite podcast!!!!

[@mstoyagrant]

Random thought: Dogg Pound album, bomb azz and Let's Play House are two of my fav. I had no business listening to those songs back in the day! Man, the good old days!

[@chantelmeans6588]

I need Warren G to know that although he’s not talked about as much he’s MENTIONED every time. ❤🎉 🌸

[@danigirl562]

Warren deserves all the flowers.

[@TheJFrost1117]

This was an amazing episode to sit through. WG is one of those unintentionally hilarious dudes.

[@newportsinthebox]

I think Warren has perfect pitch or at least relative pitch. He’s not just a rapper, he’s a musician. Dude is a beast with the aural recall.

[@chiquataelder]

Great show!!! While I always enjoy the whole show, my favorite part is always when J. Valentine starts laughing when Tank starts playing “ I ain’t saying no names”…best part.

[@suzishafik7666]

His a living legend !!!! The ‘I want it all’ album was my entire 20’s I had it on repeat ❤❤❤❤

[@Naiimalove]

It was the same ego that wouldn’t allow Dre to hear warren G in the beginning that didn’t allow him to credit him helping build the foundation for his relationship with snoop and the chronic. Sad story

[@kennethdavis1766]

I’ll say for sure now Dre has given Warren his credit for the Chronic in verbiage but now that Snoop has taken over Death Row, he made sure that he received his publishing and stuff
