Here is another segment of 5 Minutes of G-Funk review. This time it's on the world renounced WSCG. Westside Connection was a movement. A force to be reckoned with. Their 1996 genre defying group effort made quite the scene, drawing both praise and criticism for their criticism of the industry bias against the West Coast during the rise of the East vs West beef. I discuss the origins, influences and objective of the group’s formation, along with their legacy to this day. I know I try to make these 5 minutes, but there was so much more I wanted to say that I ended up going over a few minutes.

About a month ago Lefty Gunplay made a guest appearance on the Fat Joe and Jadakiss podcast where Fat Joe, once again, peddled this story about Kid Frost being racist. After some time, I decided to drop my opinion on the matter since I keep hearing a lot of nonsense on the internet dragging Kid Frost's name through the mud and continuing the trend of slandering the man's name and contributions.Here I pull up the receipts and breakdown this "rumor" perpetuated by the industry titan who's been known to stretch the truth. Check it out.

For a while this has been a subject I wanted to address. I've heard all the excuses as to why Mexicans should say it, but none have been convincing. Recent events surrounding That Mexican OT's entitlement when it comes to the word has come into spotlight. And just like that, his 15 minutes of fame has been overshadowed by controversy. List to the history of the word among Chicano hip hop artists, the rise in popularity, the backlash and the conspiracy behind it.

Last month on April 19, 2025 we got a chance to interview Imperial Valley's own Knightmare. You may have heard him on a few songs with the main man himself Knightowl (Rest In Peace), well sit back and listen while you hear his story, his collabs, and his friendship with some of the legends in the the underground scene we call Chicano Rap!

First and foremost, I want to thank Foesum for taking the time to chop it up with me. We recorded this session on July 31st and now, as a treat we are dropping this finished product on Mexican Independence Day ('cause why not?) Peep game as they discuss their history, their intersectionality with Chicano Rap and Death Row and their influences.

Rest In Peace to Larry "Slow Pain" Patino, Chicano rap legend. This episode of 5 Minutes of G-Funk I share a little something about this particular album. Kick back and enjoy the commentary, share your favorite song from this album with us in the comments below!

Originally published for the 4th of July weekend, I dropped the long awaited review of "Eastside Drama" by the legendary and infamous Brownside. I would like to dwell deeper into this album because there is sooooo damn munch to say about this project that both DJs Tony G and Julio G had a major hand in developing for the streets. This is a staple in every Chicano's library and now you get to hear the G-Funk Junkies take on it.
