Dr. Dre and Snoop Doggy Dogg’s 1992 classic “Nuthin’ but a ‘G’ Thang” put G-funk on the map. Built on a laid-back, synth-smooth groove (sampled from Leon Haywood’s “I Want’a Do Something Freaky to You”), the song features Dre and a young Snoop trading effortlessly cool verses about the West Coast good life. It peaked at #2 on the charts and became an instant summer anthem. With its chill vibe, infectious hook, and iconic opening (“1, 2, 3 and to the 4…”), “G Thang” defined the sound of ’90s West Coast hip-hop and introduced Snoop as a superstar.
