'''G-funk''', short for '''gangsta funk''', (or '''funk rap'''<ref>{{cite web | url=https://c-litchmo.medium.com/why-g-funk-is-so-damn-important-61bfc540e3fd | title=Why G-Funk is So Damn Important | date=17 October 2017 }}</ref>) is a sub-genre of [[gangsta rap]] that emerged from the [[West Coast hip-hop|West Coast]] scene in the early 1990s. The genre is heavily influenced by the [[synthesizer]]-heavy 1970s [[funk]] sound of [[Parliament-Funkadelic]] (aka P-Funk), often incorporated through samples or re-recordings.<ref name="xxl" /> It is represented by commercially successful albums such as [[Dr. Dre]]'s ''[[The Chronic]]'' (1992), [[Snoop Dogg]]'s ''[[Doggystyle]]'' (1993), and [[Tupac Shakur|2Pac]]'s ''[[All Eyez on Me]]'' (1996).
