" Blog Shots 13: Above The Law Editions "

You can’t talk about ” G- Funk ” without mentioning ” Above The Law “….Some might even go as far as claiming ” Dr. Dre ” bit a lot of his production concepts from ” ATL “…( listen to ” Black Mafia Life ” again and you might come to the same conclusion )..

Regardless, ” ATL ” should get more credit for being true west coast pioneers..Their first three albums were loaded with big beats, ill scratch compositions and unique slang…They were the first cats I ever heard use the word ” BALLING ” or the less frequently used, ” RANCHING ” HAHA…

I recently came across a blog that pays homage to nothing but that west coast flavor…..FUCK THA POLICE BLOGSPOT is just ridiculous….Instead of covering the average west coast joints, they take it a couple steps further and unveil some real live gems….” Toddy T “, ” Mix Master Spade “, ” Arabian Prince “, ” Mr. X. Mr Z “, the list goes on and on….Believe me when I tell you, no fuckin games are being played so be prepared for a heavy dose of that Cali heat…..

And just to let you know how they get down over there, here is a download of ” Black Mafia Life ” sample sources that they compiled in December of 08….( HEAVY )
