"Nuthin' But a “G” Thang" is a song by Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg, two famous American rappers, released in 1992 as the lead single from Dr. Dre's debut solo album The Chronic. The song celebrates the "G-Funk" lifestyle of the west coast gangsta lifestyle, flavored with humorous storytelling and boasting of the duo's own successes. Its title is a play on the phrase “nothing but the truth.” The track is built around a sample from George Clinton's "Atomic Dog" and opens with Dr. Dre rapping about his rise to fame, then switching topics to introduce Snoop Dogg. Snoop Dogg then launches into a story about a woman seeking to be protected from danger and seductively offers her a ride in his car, flanked by his crew. This verse ties in with the chorus, a play on the phrase, “it’s like this and that”. Dr. Dre then follows up with a boastful rhymes inspired by the G-Funk style, which stands for Gangsta-Funk, combo of gangsta rap and funk music. The track closes with a sample of Parliament's "Groovallegiance" as the beat and both MCs conclude the song with their signature catchphrases.
