dc.description.abstractBy the early 1990’s gangsta rap music had saturated American airwaves, television, film and fashion. During this period G-funk, a fusion genre of gangsta rap music and funk music, also made headway throughout the U.S. By the mid-1990s, musicians and record labels outside of California began producing their own regionally influenced G-funk works. Houston’s own MC Wickett Crickett (Darrell Veal, 1959-2015) released his only record, “Where U from/Can I hit it,” in 1996. This EP features a G-funk remix of Crickett’s H-town anthem, “Where U from,” featuring a Parliament Funkadelic inspired bassline from studio bass guitarist Dirtt. The DJ Screw Sound Recordings Collection at the University of Houston contains a transcription disc of Crickett’s 1996 albums’ A-side. This lightning talk provides a brief background of Houston hip-hop in the 1990s, gangsta rap and G-funk influence on hip-hop culture, and insight on describing/cataloging transcription discs and remixed works.en_US
