Snoop Dogg collaborated with Dr. Dre on the song “Nuthin’ but a G Thang.” The track is officially credited to Dr. Dre featuring Snoop Doggy Dogg, the name Snoop used at the time.
Released in 1992 as the lead single from Dr. Dre’s debut solo album, The Chronic, the song became one of the defining recordings of West Coast hip-hop and G-funk. Dr. Dre produced the record, while Snoop supplied a major vocal performance that helped introduce him to a worldwide audience.
The song’s relaxed groove was built around a sample of Leon Haywood’s 1975 funk recording “I Want’a Do Something Freaky to You.” Its music video presented Dre and Snoop at a Los Angeles block party, reinforcing the track’s laid-back California atmosphere.
“Nuthin’ but a G Thang” reached number two on the US Billboard Hot 100 and number one on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart. It is sometimes confused with later Dre-Snoop collaborations such as “The Next Episode,” but Dr. Dre is the collaborator named in this question and the song’s principal artist.
