YouTube announced that it has acquired the highly-anticipated music documentary G FUNK, which recounts the untold story of hip-hop’s most iconic subgenre through its pioneer, Warren G. G FUNK explores the sound’s origination and lasting impact on music and culture. The film also chronicles Warren G’s journey with Snoop Dogg and Nate Dogg during the early 90s, as they rose to international fame while he returned to Long Beach, California without a record deal. The G FUNK documentary will premiere exclusively on Youtube Premium on July 11, 2018.
G FUNK features never-before-seen footage and interviews with Warren G, Snoop Dogg, Chuck D, Ice Cube, Ice T, Too Short, The D.O.C., Wiz Khalifa and others who detail Warren G’s story and the impact of g-funk on pop culture. The film documents some of the biggest moments in the history of hip-hop, including the first time a hip-hop album debuted at #1 on the pop charts and the genre became a staple of mainstream American culture.
