After recently coming out as a surprise performer for rap stars Young Jeezy and Game concerts, West Coast rap veteran, Warren G, chopped it up with SOHH to discuss his bond to hip-hop's current elite.
When asked how he managed to grace the stage alongside two of hip-hop’s platinum-selling rappers, Warren said Game and Jeezy were just simply showing their respect for him.
“It’s definitely respect and homage,” Warren told SOHH when asked about coming out as a surprise guest to Young Jeezy and Game concerts. “These guys grew up in the biggest era of hip-hop which was the G-Funk era from the West Coast. We changed the game with that era, with the G-Funk era. You had Warren G with Regulate…G Funk Era, Dr. Dre with The Chronic, Snoop Dogg with Doggystyle, Dogg Pound with Dogg Food, all the things that we were doing, we changed the game. And those guys were products of that environment around that time when we were talking about it. So they can feel and understand what we were talking about. That’s why when these guys made it, they felt they had to give respect to us because they’re fans. They love to bring me out there.” (SOHH)
He also spoke about clocking in studio time with both artists.
“Jeezy d*mn near gave me a speech before he started [recording] ‘Leave You Alone’ and I realized he really loves what I do. It just gave me such a warm feeling. He’s 100 in my book,” Warren G added. “And with Game, he’s like the hottest n*gga in the West. He’s the last one to put out music. I like what he does and he listens. I went into the studio with him just to see how fast he was writing and I was like, ‘D*mn, I didn’t know you could write that fast.’ Actually, the first single off the Nate Dogg and Warren G EP is featuring Game. It’s a banger too. If you think this ‘Leave You Alone’ is a banger, wait until you hear this.” (SOHH)
Around mid-March, Game brought out Warren G for his Los Angeles show.
While rest of the industry was in Austin, Game was thugging it out In LA. At his concert at the Key Club this past Friday, Jayceon brought out Travis Barker on the drums for ‘Dope Boys’, ‘No More Fun And Games’ and ‘Compton’. He also introduced the producers/band 1500 Or Nothin to the crowd and invited Warren G for ‘Regulate’. (HHNM)
A few days after, the West Coast rapper/producer took the stage at Jeezy’s LA concert.
Atlanta trap rapper Young Jeezy is on the road on his Hustlerz Ambition tour. On Thursday, the tour stopped in Los Angeles at the House of Blues. Fans got a special surprise when Young Jeezy brought Ne-Yo on stage to perform their song, “Leave You Alone.” Ne-Yo performing wasn’t the only trick Jeezy had up his sleeve. Warren G was also a special guest of Jeezy’s. The West Coast MC ran through his classic hit, “Regulate.” (The Urban Daily)

I hope Gucci makes a comeback, I dont know about yall but I love his trap shit….
U a fan of gucci and you went to see him and you was trying to get his autograph then all of sudden wacko up side ur head with a glass bottle burr burr
One thing about rappers I dont like first off, these niggas rich talking bout trappn noing damn well they not selln crack posted in the trap selling 10kilo in your banjo they no pablo the real noreaga get outter here
if your grandmother went threw slavery would you tell her shes not allowed to speak on it anymore because shes no longer a slave?
shut up faggot
Dude what im sayn is what hes doing is not uplifting nor is he edifying you, slavery would be more on educating you on the history and trials and tribulations we faced as black people,so yeah its ok for my grandma to keep talkn, not u hoes ass nigga he s glorify ing trapn that shit aint no joke poverty
dont have to be a joke, its still reality and do you know what it means to educate, the dumbest shit on earth can be educational, so you sayin poverty has nothing to do with the trials and tribulations of black ppl. period point blank if you dont like the music then dont listen to it, go start a march or boycott or something
Yeah but look how good his marketing skillz are. He’s locked up and dropped a mix tape making money and he has you talking about him and you don’t even know him. Average rapper/ Great marketer. $$$. No offense but what are you doing on that level and lets not forget he’s in Jail and your free. You have the edge. So what he is actually showing you is that no matter what happens to you. You can still shine!!!
jay z still talks about so why cant lower level dudes talk about it. just an unbiased opinion
No what he showing me is thats there a police waiting to lock me up for every careless criminal misstake I make, you go
to jail lets see how much u lose and whos handling your business and what place you ll be in after you free
Im wiser than you a fool will scorn the wisdom of your word,
I hear you but you don’t get it. Yes he’s a dumb ass but he’s obviously smarter than us. How many ppl make money while in jail legally? How many ppl go to jail and have a stranger talking about him that hasn’t committed murder? I’m not the biggest fan of Gucci at all but you have to respect a hustler/Survivor. And on top of it all he’s mentally unstable and still more well off then us. Reco you can’t throw stones when u live in a glass house my friend..
dont believe everything u read on these blogs….Gucci owe a lot of people money. i feel wht ur saying about him making money behind bars ….yea it sounds good and seems realistic but its not. somebody else has their hand in the cookie jar and all i can say is ur past comes back to hunt you. he not broke but if he not careful he will be soon.
Its alot of big time tyme dope boyz and rich people behind bar who have million and billion of dollars and cant spend it gucci is not smart even if he is on drug when I was in school drug were for dummies so what if he making money behind jail that dont make it smart dummy and im not dissn homey,he has a record, history of making bad decision i was gone say that nigga gone kill somebody
Yep finally
First off,dumb can be educational please nigga I no if I do some dumb shit something bad gone come from it or some bad gone happen ima stay on the smart end I whether make money on the outside vs locked in jail making money fuckit smart way everytime homey its what learn from it ice cream cone face bur burrr
That’s why I said makes money while locked up legally.
gucci is one rapper who most likely is still trappin since his music doesnt sell that much…Jay z was still trappin during In My Life Vol. 1 to pay for his label
Jay-Z actually has talent. Though that Magna Carta was complete trash imo.
fuk gucci lame
