Biography

Warren Griffin III (born November 10, 1970 in Long Beach, California) more commonly known as Warren G, is an American West Coast rapper and hip hop producer. His biggest hit was the single "[Link]" with [a=Nate Dogg] released in 1994. The single was a g-funk track like most of Warren G's productions. He is the step-brother of successful record producer [a=Dr. Dre]. According to Hit Music he sold 1,080,000 copies in the UK between January 1990 - January 1999 so he was ranked 92nd amongst the top selling artists of the decade. In 1991, Warren G formed the group [Link] with Nate Dogg and [a=Snoop Dogg]. Warren G introduced the group to his step-brother Dr. Dre. Dr. Dre was impressed and signed Snoop Dogg to his and Suge Knight's record company, [l=Death Row Records (2)]. Thus, 213 broke up before releasing any records, and the three artists pursued separate careers. Even though Death Row Records did not sign Warren G, his career began with some contributions to Dr. Dre's album The Chronic, released 1992. Warren G was a regular contributor to many Death Row albums. In 1993, Warren G produced the track "[Link]", featuring himself, Nate Dogg, and [a=Mista Grimm]. Warren G's debut album [Link] was released in 1994 on [l=Violator Records]/[l=Rush Associated Labels](Def Jam), featured the hit "Regulate" which samples [a=Michael McDonald]'s classic hit, "I Keep Forgettin'". Also on that disc was "[Link]", a popular track and hit video on MTV. He followed up with [Link] in 1997, which took his mellow approach and brought it even further into the mainstream. Scoring a hit with a rap remake of "[Link]", the album was a mid-level commercial success selling gold. [Link], released in 1999, represented a substantive if not commercial comeback for Warren G. Widely regarded as his most consistent record, this offered a jazz-rock fusion style and a host of guests including [a=Mack 10], Snoop Dogg, [a=Kurupt], and [a=Eve (2)]. The first single, "[Link]", sampled the song "I Like It" performed by [a=DeBarge], which had a hit video that entered into heavy rotation on MTV and VH1. Warren G fully embraced his less-gangsta image at this time. [Link] was released in 2001 was voted best west coast album of the year, unfortunately [l=Universal Records] did not promote the album and it flopped in sales. In 2003 Warren G, Snoop Dogg, and Nate Dogg reunited 213 and recorded the album [Link] with the single "[Link]". The album was released in 2004 and entered at #4 on the Billboard charts. Warren G released a new album on October 11, 2005, called [Link] on an independent label. In December 2005, he signed with UniqueInc LTD (UK) for the UK & Éire, Craze Productions of London is doing the digital distribution and sales on Mobile and online and [l=Hawino Records] for the North America release. Warren G is also working on an album with a young producer by the alias of Classic. Warren G stated he will get into this album once he is finish with the show called Celebrity Fit Club As of 2006, Warren G has joined the cast of the fifth season of VH1's Celebrity Fit Club and also produced the theme song for [a=Ice Cube]'s TV show, Black. White.. Warren uses the alias "Warren G" as the main artist name on his releases, however he is credited with his full name, "Warren Griffin", for his writing credits.

LYRICS

(Feat. Wayniac and Lady Levi)
Hey, nah ya goin miss up on the G-Funk era,
ya know we said things won for Warren G, and soon turned superstar
[Warren G]
11-10-7 D that was my intro
but now in 94, I'm rollin a 64
cuz things get shady where the grass is greener
niggaz throwin up sets in hoods like they neva seen a
young mack daddy do his thing cuz I pack right
I got 44 ways to make you act right
and its a shame how the game must be played
it was told never fold by the niggaz you can't fade
so raise up off this young hog
cuz I heard you punkin some but you can't punk me y'all
I got my own thang cuz I let my nuts hang
if you wanna bring it, bring it on no pain no gain
so as I creep can you peep what I speak
techniques unique, so what you sayin is obsolete
so there it is as I go about my days
I can only bring it to you like this in so many ways

[Chorus]

Hey, hey, hey this is Warren G you know
and I was in Baghdad
before these lil youngstaz was in they Daddy bag
ya know, yeah, they in violation Wayniac so hound em

[Wayniac]
Its all plain and simple
I roll just to serve a lifetime wit my niggaz
idiotic fools can't figure
the way I display or should I say more than that
its crucial when I name how many niggaz got my back
neva lack, the skills when its time to handle mine
you can't front if you wanna but you still know the time
I'm, the nigga that they call Wayniac (what that mean)
I'm the nigga stayin down for the home team
so if you didn't know let me slow ya roll
this pro is on the go with some shit you ain't heard before
so recognize game in your face
a touch of the bass then I'm gone without a trace

[Chorus]

[Warren G]
I stay true to the game
but some stay blind to the fact
that if I don't look good, you dont look good
so please rearrange and change the shit you doin
you fuckin yourself cuz you the one gettin screwed
as I, ease on down the rick road
as I shift from first to second, cruise control
so blaze up the buddha
cuz I got drink, and dont think
we dont roll without a full tank
of that bomb ass shit called the funk
cuz I am the G and the funk is what you want
now, lets take a trip to the other side of town
niggaz flip flop and they neva stay down
wanna be all they can be, but gettin held back
tryin to take what is mine, (what) what type of shit is that?
so, this is for the homies stay down for your pay
I can't only bring it to you like this in so many ways

[Chorus]
