nuthin' but a "g" thangmixed by edwin bautista / wicked mix"Nuthin' but a 'G' Thang" is a 1993 hit song by American gangsta rapper Dr. Dre, from his debut solo album, The Chronic. The debut single from the album, "Nuthin' but a 'G' Thang" reached number two on the Billboard Hot 100, outdoing The Chronic's other singles "Fuck wit Dre Day (and Everybody's Celebratin')" (number 8) and "Let Me Ride" (number 34). The single also reached number one on Billboard's Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Singles & Tracks chart. The song's music video was MTV's third most requested video of 1993. On MTV, the music video was heavily cut; a full-length version of the video exists with uncut footage (e.g. drug references and a scene where a woman's bikini top was yanked open).
The vocals are shared by Dre and Snoop Doggy Dogg (who has sole songwriting credit), who drop in trademark references to Long Beach and Compton in California. The song contains samples from Leon Haywood's "I Wanta Do Something Freaky to You" and "Uphill (Peace of Mind)" by Frederick Knight. "Nuthin' but a 'G' Thang" is listed in The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame's 500 Songs that Shaped Rock and Roll. It's Dre's only song on Rolling Stone's list of the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time (ranked number 419), not counting two other songs that feature Dre as producer and on vocals, N.W.A.'s "Fuck tha Police" and 2Pac's "California Love". Q magazine listed it as the twenty-fourth greatest hip-hop song of all time.[3] The song is on the soundtrack of the popular video game, Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas from the rap radio station, Radio Los Santos.
