G-Funk

A sound created by Above The Law In 1992 in the album "Black Mafia Life" which was the very first "G-Funk" (gangsta funk) record. With this album, Above The Law had created the often imitated and duplicated G-Funk name and sound, but the media decided to overlook that and pen the creation to another famous west-coast producer (Dr. Dre). Eventually, Dr. Dre and Above The Law dissed each other. Above the Law aligned with Ruthless Records and Eazy–E; Dr. Dre with Deathrow and Suge Knight.
