In Popular Culture
Kris Kross heavily sampled "Nuthin' but a 'G' Thang" on their 1993 single "I'm Real". The song "Get It Up" by Silkk the Shocker uses the reworked chorus of "Nuthin' but a 'G' Thang". Ja Rule's track "Livin' It Up" contains a sample of the song. It was nominated for a Grammy Award. The song was parodied by The Fringemunks to recap Fringe episode 2.04 "Momentum Deferred".
The comedic internet website Funny or Die posted a parody in January 2011, called "Nuthin' But A Glee Thang". The song is about the TV series Glee, co-written by Glee cast member Heather Morris and co-starring Sofia Vergara, Riki Lindhome and Ashley Lendzion. The video features several Glee castmates Matthew Morrison, Cory Monteith, Harry Shum, Jr. & Naya Rivera.
