Left Coast Classics, Revisited Posted by mike

Dr. Dre: Nuthin' But a G Thang (Club mix) From Nuthin' But a G Thang 12" (Interscope, 1992) Snoop Dogg: Gin and Juice (Laid Back mix) From Gin and Juice 12" (Interscope, 1993) There's really nothing I can say about these songs that hasn't been said before: everyone and their little sister can sing along word for word, pop production masterpieces, genre-defining, blah blah blah – but did you hear the remix? "Nuthin' But a G Thang" lets Dre and Snoop rip shit up over the beat that would later be used for "Bitches Ain't Shit," while "Gin and Juice" gets a minor readjustment, retaining the same instrumentation and overall vibe as the original. Needless to say, neither of these reworkings is remotely fucking with the OGs, but it's still fun to make the comparison.
