The song samples "I Want'a Do Something Freaky to You" by Leon Haywood. It was later reissued in June 1994 in certain European countries. ==Background== The vocals are shared by Dre and Snoop Doggy Dogg, who has sole songwriting credit; they drop in trademark references to Long Beach and Compton, California. The song contains samples from Leon Haywood's "I Want'a Do Something Freaky To You", "B-Side Wins Again" by Public Enemy and "Uphill (Peace of Mind)" by Kid Dynamite. On the inside cover of ''The Chronic,'' under "Credits", Haywood's name is incorrectly given as "L. Hayward". Snoop Dogg's first single from ''Da Game Is to Be Sold, Not to Be Told'' was a sequel to the song titled "Still a G Thang". Dre and Snoop retooled "Nuthin' but a 'G' Thang" into the titular theme of their 2001 comedy film ''The Wash''. The song has also been adopted as a soccer chant at LA Galaxy games by supporters group LA Riot Squad and performed by several hundred fans simultaneously. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Nuthin' but a 'G' Thang」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
