Funkdoobiest was an American hip hop group from Los Angeles, California, composed of rappers Jason "Son Doobie" Vasquez, Tyrone "Tomahawk Funk" Pacheco and DJ Ralph "Tha Phunky Mexican" Medrano. They were of Soul Assassins. The group has released four studio albums. Their third LP, The Troubleshooters, was recorded and released without any participation of Tomahawk Funk due to his departure from the group.

The group's most successful hit single, "Bow Wow Wow" from their debut album Which Doobie U B?, peaked at number 89 on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart in the United States. They appeared on the 1994 soundtrack to Allison Anders' film Mi Vida Loca with the song "The Good Hit". The song "Superhoes" from their second album Brothas Doobie was featured on the 1995 soundtrack to F. Gary Gray's film Friday. The song "Act On It" from their third album was used in the Kirk Wong's 1998 film The Big Hit.

From 2003 to 2004, Son Doobie released two solo full-length albums via Battle Axe Records, Funk Superhero and Doobie Deluxe.
