    For me this contribution is very valuable and interesting. And it really helped me.
    Look, I did this with tutorial 1 "How to" G funk
    The Synth of "Mosquito", I couldn't do it with Sytrus because I don't know how to configure the Slide in Sutio one. So use another Synth.
    I have to keep practicing, but I understood the concept.
    Weird things that happen. It never caught my attention so much, and now that I've seen how it's done and the "ingredients" it contains, I like it much more.

    Great Sounding Piece like it got that Sunshine Feeling to it.

    The Essence of G-Funk: (Warren G & Nate Dogg - Regulate)
    The rhythm is the bass and the bass is the treble
    Chords, strings
    We brings melody
    G-Funk, where rhythm is life
    And life is rhythm

    Very nice fusion. The base sounds like a classical music progression. And that hammond gives a special "touch" to the song. Like a mystery.

    Comes All from the same Direction with Influences of Gospel, Soul, Funk, Jazz and Blues.

    HipHop (Culture) Rap (Main Grene) = Westcoast Rap and G-Funk are (Sub Grenes of Rap). Soul (Main Grene) = Neo Soul (Sub Grene of Soul).

    But Neo Soul is often much more complex music wise in Terms of Chords etc.

    In my Opinion Top Producer for Neo-Soul and he could posibbly do anything.

    For Westcoast there are DJ Battlecat, DJ Mustaard, Scott Storch, XL Middleton and so on.

    If you’ll ever have the „joy“ of listening to a Scott Storch record before it is mixed you might regret mentioning him:)

    Mustaard was trending some years ago.

    i suggest some:
    Jake One
    Brenk Sinatra (MC Eiht - Which Way Iz West LP)
    Daz Dillinger/Mel Man (They call them „Dr Dre“)
