Warren G is no stranger to commercial success, with his classic “Regulate” featuring Nate Dogg going platinum, and appearing on multiplatinum releases such as The Chronic and Doggystyle.
Nonetheless, Warren revealed in an interview with AllHipHop that he isn’t feeling what Hip Hop radio is offering today.
“[P]eople are getting tired of the same stuff being played,” he explained. ” Everybody’s talking about chains and Bugattis. We don’t want to keep hearing that. You got people that are not as fortunate as that. They don’t want to keep hearing that. They want to hear you give them a direction on how they can be successful. That’s what we need more of.”
The issue with radio goes beyond simply being unrelatable, says Warren G, opining that radio content is out of control. “What’s so crazy is that some of the records they be playing on the radio, I be like how can they even play this on the radio? How do you play this shit? For motherfuckers it’s all about the money. To me it’s just a lot of bullshit going on. Cause it’s a lot of records being played on the radio that shouldn’t be played on the radio. It’s dudes on records talking about eating girls out. They never played no shit like that on the radio. If we had done that sh*t back in the 90′s you’d be done. They wouldn’t play no more of your shit. Now instead of that being a treat to a women they’ve made that a natural thing. It’s dudes talking about eating girls out and girls talking about blowing guy’s socks off, and the radio plays it.”
The West Coast veteran placed the blame not only on radio, but also on the artists. “I put it on the radio and the artist. These kids growing up thinking that’s what it’s about, and that ain’t what it is. They thinking it’s cool to just go out and eat a girl out the first time you meet her or getting some head off top. That should be a treat in a relationship when you’ve been together for a while. They making it common to do those types of things.”
Warren admitted that some of his content has been racey. “Don’t get me wrong. I ain’t a square. You know we did ‘It Ain’t No Fun.’ That was a straight party record, but it was real talk. It wasn’t no game. It was real.”
Still, the Regulator finds reason for hope in some modern artists. “It’s just time to get back to real music, real Hip Hop like Kendrick said. You know who does great records to me? Drake does great records. J. Cole does great records. These guys know how to make songs, so I’m not knocking all these new young artists at all. I got love for a lot of them. I actually want to do music for a lot of them. It’s certain people that know how to make a song, and you got some guys that don’t know what the fuck they doing. They just doing shit just to do it. Nipsey Hussle knows how to make great records. Kendrick knows how to make great records. These guys know how to make records.”
Warren G released his debut album Regulate…G Funk Era in 1994, which spawned “Regulate” featuring Nate dogg and “This D.J.,” both of which earned him Grammy Award nods.

keepin it too real. g a legend, these fuck ass rappers should listen up
Hey Warren, Drake is garbage too homie.
he’s stating that Drake is keeping it real with those pussy songs, that’s how he is
mount up
Next stop is the Eastside Motel….RIP Nate Dogg. Tebow is praying for you in the huddle.
Hip hop has evolved into this bullshit about money, chains and cars and how the listener sucks ass because they don’t have as much shit as the artist.
90% of Drake songs are about how rich we are making him and what he owns. Warren needs to listen to more of his music.
drake songs are about how he made it to become rich, not that southern bullshit
Yeah, people are getting tired of it…
But just a shame that the “people” don’t get a say, the big corporations have control. and they are going to push commercial “throw yo drank up” bullshit every day of the week over something that actually makes you think
Blame the nerdy programmers and old ass white executives that force them to play the bullshit. It’s economically driven instead of quality. There’s a bigger power at work here.
Always been that way. Hey, in Warren’s time people complained just as much back then and of course everybody blamed record companys or white record execs then too like that wasnt what people was checking for. If you wasnt toting a gun or whatever you were corny and not “keeping it real”.
yeah let’s blame white people that 2 chainz, future, and gucci mane exists
and fucking programmers. nerdy fucks making angry birds and android apps for us to play, fuck those guys
Exactly…People get so stuck in the era they grew up in, they forget how bad it actually was…”Keep it real” & “Represent” were the “Swag” & “Yolo” of the 90’s lol…Everybody had to be “gangsta”
Fuck the radio, I don’t listen to that shit.
why????
where that new album??????????

Drake is definitely one of the realest niggas in hip-hop–commericial or underground. While a bunch of homothugs and losers who hate Drake are on websites saying that he sucks, Drake is out there preserving hip-hop culture.
OVO all day!
“Drake is out there preserving hip-hop culture”
You do know Drake is Gay right? He ain’t preserving shit besides cum in his mouth.

G is on point,,,,,,there needs to be more balance on the radio,,,,,save the ratchet music for late
night mixshows,,,i bet the radio station will make a lot of revenue,,,they can charge more late
night,,, cause yall know they charging right,,,,,pun intended,,,,
I agree with the radio shit all the same, but this dude is trippin about everything else. I’m old enough to have bought Regulate:The G-Funk era on vinyl when it just came out..and I’m also old enough to know that rappin about money, getting head & eatin pussy is nothing new. The 90’s was just as bad, if not worse than today as a whole if you wanna talk about explicit content. There was ALOT more violence in lyrics as well, and just like the cliche raps about molly, chains & Bugattis today, they wouldn’t shut up about 40s, Blunts & how gangsta or psycho then. lol The 90’s was not exactly an innocent time, nor were rapers all original, Warren G

In all honesty though I’d take the talk about 40s, Blunts, gangstas & psychos wit that 90’s Boom-Bap & G-Funk over this fake ass new shit any day of the week. Just being real.
black people are s ugly they all look like primates, what the fuck was kim thinking

‘Starve the lonely troll of oxygen and he dies’
I only fuck with Live From HeadQCourterz, why’s that show been off air recently though?
Is it off again??!! I Know Premier has been suffering from a knee injury, but my satellite got cut off a month ago, how long has it been off the air??
@RC, they’ve not uploaded any new editions since the end of July. I know he recently released a Fat Joe/Bam Bam joint and he’s touring the UK in October, so he can’t be that poorly.
Wise words from the O.G.
Most black people smell like shit and rape women
