Untold West Coast Stories: The Creators of the G-FUNK Era Cold 187 & Lay Law on Sway in the Morning 

uncle Sam's curse is in my top ten hip hop albums....

my teacher said "boy can it wait" i said "no i got to put some mo icing on my cake "

I remember backing black superman when I first got my license. I had 5 sets of tweeters in the whip to here them slay bells ringing

I been telling niggaz for years that 187 n Above The Law invented G Funk. I'm glad yall covered that!

Great interview, I learned about Above the Law from listening to DJ SCREW tapes...keep on pushing!

enjoyed this interview...I'm a big fan of Hutch!!! #WestCoastLegends Much love to Sway·

I didn't know Laylaw made California Love

I believe Hutch created that sound. However, Dre mastered it, and Daz added his twitch to it. Now Quik did not come with the same sound, his sound was different. I think Hutch musical ear came from his uncle.

AWESOME INTERVIEW!!!!! Living Like Hustlers is as Classic as it gets...Back around 98 on a road trip from Dallas to Htown I stopped into a small local record store. It came down to buying either Mc Ren (Black panther) or ATL (Legends) cassette --- ATL won and it blew my mind (again)... If youve never listened to the entire LEGENDS CD... shame shame shame.... please do!

I remember all west coast history since 1987 when I got into hip hop and mainly west coast at the time.

eazy e & NWA 1986 - 1991 above the law , Michel'le , Jimmy z lay law , DJ speed Bone thugs n harmony

Thank you sway for opening my eyes

Props goes to the entire parliament funkadelic crew they created all the beats thar nwa dre snoop pac and above the law sampled so no g funk without the pfunk

Kokane and Cold 187um did have a diss record towards Snoop on Kokane's 2nd album "Funk Upon A Rhyme" tho

My thang is how did 213/DJ Warren G get the Title to the sound???

UNCLE SAM'S CURSE SLAPP!!!

MY FOLKS HUTCH AND LAW

Living like uh Hustlaaa!

I still jam dat Black Mafia Life...the pimp client

Above the law are the bee gees! I can't explain what I mean! Above the law /cold 187 production is just so superior and mature and quality. 187 and kmg have awesome voices and they compliment each other. Very undarratd... Fukin better than wu tang I tell you that. Real man music!

Dope

Above The Law are underrated

Not the greatest fan of G-Funk b.u.t. am a big Parliament/Funkadelic fan...it is deep to get knowledge that the Big Homie LAY-LAW, and 187-um ORCHESTRATED the sound!!!

Damn Dre didnt produce my favorite version of Cali Love

west coast got the best style of hip hop ever period niggaz4life chronic amerikkkaz most straight outta compton black super man i dont see the doc as west coast cause he from the south snoop from the south to the old south style was the best to 5th ward boyz geto boyz hard boyz goodie mob besides people like public enemy n mobb deep i wasn't really big on the east coast sound i thought alot of it was corny sounding.

RIP Lay Law OG thank you for what you brought to hip hop big G

Big Hutch is one the hardest producers ever 💯

G Funk era is the best era in hip-hop history period

Cold 187um Laylaw KMG Total Kaos Go Mack was like superheroes to me. Still are. I still rock y'all music to this day. Freedom Of Speech still bangs in the whip.

Sway keep bringing on these legends! Much respect. Hutch and Lay Law!

A lot of ghost producers and writers in the industry.

I'm still bumpin livin like hustlers in 2022

Why does Lay Law always have that face that says, "Maaan, this is some bullshit. Pass me a damn blunt" ? 😂

I was admiring the writing on Michel’le’s first album and had to find out who L. Goodman was…. went down a internet rabbit hole until I found this interview. Big man got hella talent!

Still listen to Black superman and kalifornia

Lay Law made one of the best albums ever, The Lawhouse Experience. It was made in ‘97 and features many west coast legends. Check it out

Finally, Someone who was there tells the truth about Jerry Heller. Eazy-E eventually fired Jerry because he was skimming money of the top. Jerry Heller had some shady business practices.

G-Funk is the real hip-hop!

True hustlas caught that gem at the end. These bruthas are about to make hella paper.

The Name is spelled COLD 187um!

I remember that beef with cube and Above The Law.King Sun had to step in and help Cube out.

Vocally Pimpin is a Classic EP.

Coldddddddddd 1 eighty sevennnn, didn't ATL have somethin 2 do wit Kokane "Don't bite the Phunk"? That was a diss record. Looks like they came out n said it wasn't always good, but sometimes it's like he's saying they never had any probs..

The best Above The Law song ever was called Last Song featuring NWA on Living like a Hustler album one of the coldest songs ever in hip-hop check it how you doing the original black mafia.

Does anyone feel that a new Above The Law can consist of :(1) Cold 187um/Big Hutch, (2) Kokane, (3) BG Knocc Out, (4) Dresta, and (5) Brotha Lynch Hung? Those five legends as Above The Law would be on point. R.I.P KMG.

above the law= vocally pimping and black mafia life classic albums

And even another song from 1989 produced by Dr Dre can be considered G-Funk. It's The Formula by The D.O.C.

R.I.P. KMG

my jaw dropped when i saw the title. legends! at the end - damn they really patented that interactive clothing? $$$$

I wish Lay Law would have talked more... it seems like he has stories for days. lol

@cold187um you and Dre did not keep it cool. You had a song with Kokane called "Don't Bite the Phunk" dissing Dre?

I had all of Above The Law albums the real GFUNK pioneers Big Hutch whatuuup!!

Cold has to make an album with sugafree They boff from Pomona Pomona pimpin young too should be on it

Great interview & stories. ATL are legends, still bump Black Superman.

Cold187 opened up for sway !! He didn't wanna tell vlad shit you could tell he was uncomfortable. He talking to sway like they on the block !! I love it !!

This is the greatest interview I've ever heard .... ABOVE THE LAW 💯💯💯💯💯

Cold187um is the 2nd best producer on the West Coast right behind DJ Quik.I had at least three of they albums.But 187 said he stayed neutral during the Dre\Eazy beef but he was on Kokane's album dissing Dre on the song Dont Bite the Funk which clowned Dre and Snoop so i dont know why he said that

They didn't stay neutreal 187 was dissing dre for stealing G funk all the time. Then he had a diss song on Kokane album. Dre had Dogg pound diss them on B Side song when Kurupt went off on that joint.

Black Mafia Life is one of my all time favourite Hip Hop albums.ATL have always been under appreciated for what they did for the West coast hip hop sound.Cold 187 was one of,if not thee 1st producer to use that G Funk sound.He was using it before Dre used it on his ‘93 album ‘The Chronic’,I know that much. EDIT-I typed this before watching the upload obviously,because I could have saved my time as they pretty much jumped straight into that.About time though,it took long enough for Cold 187 to get that credited on a mainstream show like Sway in the morning but better late than never.

VOCALLY PIMPIN still got that cassette Cold 187um, KMG, Go Mack Wit The Sack, D.J. Total Koss, Lay Law......MANN!!!!!!

Rip... KMG

187um talked over everyone... Lay Law barely got a word in, even talks over Sway.

R.I.P. My Big Homie Kevin "KMG" Of Above The Law!! Pomona Town!!!

Real talk they created it!! But Dre ranned with it like always

Murder Rap one of the best songs ever!! Cold 187 original MC

Classic Interview.. Tru "West Coast History" right cha!

Legendary ATL alwys loved these guys. I still hv the full discography

Lay law's face expression when hutch is talkin is cold

WestCoast Hip Hop was ushered in by L.A ( South Central ) CPT LBC Up north it was East Oakland & Frisco

me and my boys used to roll the streets of Dallas bumping they shit!! type in D.R.U.M.S RUGGED on RU-vid check me out

Very nice interview Sway! Loved it.. Been a really big Eazy E/Ruthless fan since I was a kid so it was a blast to watch this interview with ATL (KMG R.I.P.) Is there a chance you´re gonna interview Eazy´s kids one day? That would be cool IMO. Love the show, watch it as much as I can. :-) Much luv from Denmark.

Uncle Sam's curse and legends two coldest albums of all times

They had the better California love track!!! This is a rare gem in history! If you give a shit about hip hop watch this all day!!! West coast love!

I had no idea Cold 187um was Dre's Protégé, I always placed him on par with Dre in so far as having his own sound and what not. That really changed the game it comes full circle, keeping in mind Warren G learned from Cold 187um and Dre, Warren said so himself. It also explains the ATL connection with Snoop!
