“Nuthin’ but a “G” Thang” is a 1993 hit song by American gangsta rapper Dr. Dre, from his debut solo album, The Chronic. It features rapper Snoop Doggy Dogg and is the first single from the album. “Nuthin’ but a ‘G’ Thang” reached number two on the Billboard Hot 100, outdoing The Chronic’s other singles “Fuck wit Dre Day (and Everybody’s Celebratin’)” (number 8) and “Let Me Ride” (number 34). The single also reached number one on Billboard’s Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Singles & Tracks chart. It was also one of the first big rap singles in the UK, where it reached number three.
The song’s music video was MTV’s third most requested video of 1993. On MTV, the music video was heavily cut; a full-length version of the video exists with uncut footage (e.g., drug references and a scene where a woman’s bikini top was yanked open).
