If the catch phrases "The G-Funk, We Funk ..." or "Regulators ... Mount up" don't have you funked up for Warren G's show this week, then you must not know your '90s hip-hop/rap. Warren G is (and I don't know how this is possible) one of hip-hop and rap's unsung champions as well as a catalyst behind the West Coast rap sound that dominated the early to mid-'90s.  Having worked with everyone from 2Pac to Snoop Dogg and Dr. Dre (his half-brother), Warren G is a vital voice of not only reality rap and party music, but he has always been a conscientious and active voice in community driven issues. Long Beach is in the house. Sing Nate Dogg's (RIP) hooks, y'all!
