How's your uh how's Austin?

It's cool. It's cool, man. Yeah, a lot of love, a lot of love.

A lot of food?

Definitely. I just uh went by a barbecue right now.

Been to South by before?

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I came down one time with uh with Snoop. He was doing some shows down here, and I was performing with him.

When was like the first time you saw this, you saw West Coast Ice Cube.

Ice Cube? Yeah. You know, when he had the chain chain that had the W on it, that's what really to me said it all.

So, he's out here at South by. He's pushing his uh film G Funk. Cool. Any uh any low riders in the movie? Hydraulics?

Yes, indeed. Yes, indeed. Yes, indeed. That's that that's what opens it up. That's what opens it up. Hydraulics.

Hydraulics. I wish they I mean that could be awesome. They need to bring that back. Yeah. Hydraulics, that is such an experience.

I brought it back in the in the in the documentary.

In the documentary? Yeah. You guys should roll around Austin with just like a uh a hydraulic car just with uh

That would have been dope.

Just with a billboard for G for G Funk. Tell you tells exactly what G Funk's the word G Funk means represents.

Chords, strings. We bring melody. That's G Funk, man. And we out on. This is awesome right here.

Were there any specific like things like you said in your vision that you were like, "We got to have this in the movie," cuz this is what's going to tell the people about West Coast hip hop. Yeah. What was it?

who how we got connected with Dre.

You and Dre are stepbrothers, right?

Yeah. Correct. All right, cool. But I I did ask him one day to show me how to do, you know, how to show me how to mix. And he showed me.

He showed you.

I fell in love with you know, rocking the turntables. And you know, as when you're a little kid and you seeing your older brother doing something, you want to be like him. You know what I'm saying? So, I started trying to DJ cuz I wanted to do it. I'm like, I'm I wanted to be like him. He uh went to elementary school with Snoop Dogg. Can you imagine playing like dodgeball in elementary school with Warren G and Snoop Dogg? I bet you Snoop was pretty fast. Snoop could just crip walk out the way. You can't hit me. You can't hit me.

What was the first time you met Snoop? Like where how old were you?

We went to elementary school.

You guys went to elementary school together. In Long Beach? Yeah. What the heck? CIS What were you guys doing? You guys get in trouble early?

It was me, Snoop, and and your brother Jerry.

So when you when you first made the song Regulators, uh, what came first? That that opening uh sample or just you guys

No, they No, it was a Clear Black Night. Clear Black Night. Yeah, that the way I started the song, that was the very first when the guy said, "We work, we work for Mr. Tisdale, his regulators." We regulate. And we still in this property. And we're damn good too. But you can't be any geek off the street. I cut it up. I cut up different pieces.

Well, that was back in the day a lot of hip hop artists used to make a sample, put it on for bars, and then they would just wrap over the net. This is uh Warren G's DJ. You you guys are about to spin. What's it like when you're going to play Regulators, when you're going to play that with the audience? What's the audience's reaction every time you play that song?

Oh, man, every time it's a it's a great experience cuz that's where everybody's like comes together. And as soon as they hear it from the beginning to end, it's like a group performance. Like you hear people going from the beginning of the song all the way to the last. What up, Young Hollywood? This your boy, Warren G. You better ask somebody if you don't know, now you know. G Funk. G Funk.
