:(

only 41

whoa wtf

he had been really sick for a few years now

i have owned two cassingles in my life; he was on one of them. RIP

listening to regulate again it seems pretty clear that it should have been nate dogg ft warren g considering i barely remember the warren g parts

rip, next stop is the heaven side motel

L.A. food writer Jonathan Gold:

Oddly sad about Nate Dogg. His smooth yet vicious crooning was as vital to the early '90s as Biggie's lisp or Cobain's howl.

haha i love the warren parts of "regulators" ("i can't believe they takin warrens wealth!") but yeah nate makes the song

"chords. strings. we brings. melody."

this is really sad. RIP

rip, next stop is the heaven side motel

I'm already on a cloud with Nate Dogg

KDAY in LA is doing a tribute right now http://ht.ly/4fqHD

:'(

ugh

oh no :(

omg noo

RIP

I knew he was ill, but this is incredibly sad. He was pretty much the only singer who's voice and vocal style fit gangsta rap perfectly; no modern r'n'b style histrionics and melismas, just cool and controlled crooning.

Rest in peace, Nate. Gonna play Music & Me tonight.

"chords. strings. we brings. melody."

Exactly... RIP

RIP

RIP :(

fuck no how sad. RIP

hoped that this was a joke thread. RIP. :(

asked the dj to play regulate and he complied. rip dude :(

Fuck off.

;_;

rest in peace

the world can pretty much fuck off today

rip - the best to ever do it

NO.

FUCK NO.

I DON'T WANT THIS DUDE TO BE DEAD.

RIP.

I'm gonna role the fattest joint later in memory.

although he did many things that were heinous while he was alive (culminating in his arrest by the SWAT team)....he still was synonymous with g-funk, especially the g-funk I grew up with, and this is sad :(

RIP Nate

underappreciated Nate Dogg joint:

his verse on area codes is just so awesome

Is it cause they like my gangsta walk?

Is it cause they like my gangsta talk?

Is it cause they like my handsome face?

Is it cause they like my gangsta ways?

Whatever it is, they love it
And they just won't let me be
I handles my biz, don't rush me
Just relax and let me be free

Whenever I call, come runnin'
2-1-2 or 2-1-3
You know that I ball, stop frontin'
'fore I call my substitute freak

haha but yeah on the page it means nothing

Yeah, I'm listening to Area Codes right now

I dunno, is the bold bit where he sings, and the rest is rap?

It sounds good to me.

Nah he sings the whole thing but he goes into a different cadence in that part that just sounds really cool

gonna be listening to this all day:

"ask them originals, cuz they know"

rev isn't here with us now but I'm reposting this from his fb

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b3RKcha3i7A

No details were immediately available, but the paper said Nate Dogg, whose real name is Nathaniel D. Hale, had suffered two strokes in recent years.

Sad. RIP

damn. rip. not how i wanted to start the day.

RIP, Nate. Oddly appropriate he passed on the St. Ides of March.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rYquETdCIMw

aw fuck, horrible way to start the day

Seriously, do it. Bet is you'll make a friend.

Really don't even know why I picked this battle today. I knew I'd lose. :(

Familiar to a lot of people? Sure. Iconic? Prolly not.

dude you could make a crack at a party "smoke weed every day!" and ppl would "get it" w/o being able to tell you what's it from or even knowing who nate dogg is

Go up to anyone in their 20s and say "HOLD UP, HHHHHHHEEEEEEEYYYY"

Yup. Like i said that shit is a major catchphrase among my generation and i'm Irish ffs.

i dont want to be rude but this seems like a pretty dumb conversation

New board description

The Chronic was his entry point. "Regulate" is the landmark.

i am kicking myself for dragging this out further but...obviously "Regulate" is integral to Nate's profile, but if all those other later hits didn't matter than Warren G would be equally famous

Which brings us back to the impetus for this whole discussion.

"Nate Dogg? Who's he?"

ANYWAY! I thought Nate was great and he'll be missed. Being old, I'll miss him for a different body of work than other, younger people will. But we can all agree that he'll be missed by those who ever bothered to learn who he was.

smoke weed every day

hold up

heyyyyyyyyyy

i am ready for the next episode

Most of the newspaper articles I see tend to call him a rapper. But was Nate Dogg really a rapper? Surely, most of the people he worked with were rappers, and he was very much part of the hip-hop-scene. But a rapper? I would say not.

"But a rapper? I would say not."

A quick survey among 8 people aged 28-34 from Germany, South Africa, Canada, Netherlands and France: to my disappointment none of them knew who he was. Had to sing Regulate & only two recognized. None of them are rap fans though.

there's a pretty awesome moment on the Up in Smoke Tour DVD where they're doing "The Next Episode' and they get to the 'hold up' part and they stop the record and Nate Dogg strolls to the front of the stage, audience roaring, and him just glaring nonchalantly at em like he knew he was a badass.

then the record resumes after what feels like a 30 second pause and he starts doing his thang....

awesome

not as long a pause as I remembered, but here it is, 2:17 mark....

like a boss

dying @ "smoke weed everyday" dude

also lol titties

i'm so mad I didn't go to that tour. but that was when I had no money and all my idiot freinds were like 'NAH MAN THAT AIN'T PEARL JAM SORY'

I had Up In Smoke on VHS and watched it soooooo many times. Its where I first came to <3 Ice Cube as more than the guy in Friday.

I had it on VHS cuz there was a flaw in the original run of DVDs I think in which many of them became unplayable at a certain point of the disc (usually 2/3rds of the way through). took the first one back, got the next...SAME EXACT spot it starts skipping and getting stuck.

the Cube songs taht he performed that got left off the VHS were pretty criminal tho. he did Steady Mobbin!

oh man i missed part of the show? down with vhs! i'm so angry i could single handedly kill off that format!

actually I misspoke, the DVD didn't have the extra songs either -- I meant to say left off of the dvd/vhs.

I am surely no rap fan, but have been very much aware of Nate Dogg since "Regulate". However, I did like G-Funk somewhat, and I also liked "Regulate". Even after hearing the original, because I feel some crucial elements were added that were not present on the original (I suspect they would only have annoyed me had I been familiar with the original first though....)

On a cool, clear night (typical to Southern California) Warren G travels through his neighborhood, searching for women with whom he might initiate sexual intercourse. He has chosen to engage in this pursuit alone.[5]

Nate Dogg, having just arrived in the east side of Long Beach, seeks Warren. On his way to find Warren, Nate passes a car full of women who are excited to see him. Regardless, he insists to the women that there is no cause for excitement.

Warren makes a left turn at 21st Street and Lewis Ave, in the East Hill/Salt Lake neighborhood[6], where he sees a group of young men enjoying a game of dice together. He parks his car and greets them. He is excited to find people to play with, but to his chagrin, he discovers they intend to relieve him of his material possessions. Once the hopeful robbers reveal their firearms, Warren realizes he is in a less than favorable predicament.

Meanwhile, Nate passes the women, as they are low on his list of priorities. His primary concern is locating Warren. After curtly casting away the strumpets (whose interest in Nate was such that they crashed their automobile), he serendipitously stumbles upon his friend, Warren G, being held up by the young miscreants.

Warren, unaware that Nate is surreptitiously observing the scene unfold, is in disbelief that he is being robbed. The perpetrators have taken jewelry and a Rolex Watch from Warren, who is so incredulous that he asks what else the robbers intend to steal. This is most likely a rhetorical question.

Observing these unfortunate proceedings, Nate realizes that he may have to use his firearm to deliver his friend from harm.

The tension crescendos as the robbers point their guns to Warren's head. Warren senses the gravity of his situation. He cannot believe the events unfolding could happen in his own neighborhood. As he imagines himself making a fantastical escape, he catches a glimpse of his friend, Nate.

Nate has seventeen cartridges (sixteen residing in the pistol's magazine, with a solitary round placed in the chamber and ready to be fired) to expend on the group of robbers. Afterward, he generously shares the credit for neutralizing the situation with Warren, though it is clear that Nate did all of the difficult work. Putting congratulations aside, Nate quickly reminds himself that he has committed multiple homicides to save Warren before letting his friend know that there are females nearby if he wishes to fornicate with them.

Warren recalls that it was the promise of copulation that coaxed him away from his previous activities, and is thankful that Nate knows a way to satisfy these urges. Nate quickly finds the women who earlier crashed their car on Nate's account. He remarks to one that he is fond of her physical appeal. The woman, impressed by Nate's singing ability, asks that he and Warren allow her and her friends to share transportation. Soon, both friends are driving with automobiles full of women to the East Side Motel, presumably to consummate their flirtation in an orgy.

The third verse is more expository, with Warren and Nate explaining their G Funk musical style. Warren displays his bravado by daring anyone to approach the style. There follows a brief discussion of the genre's musicological features, with special care taken to point out that in said milieu the rhythm is not in fact the rhythm, as one might assume, but actually the bass. Similarly the bass serves a purpose closer to that which the treble would in more traditional musical forms. Nate displays his bravado by claiming that individuals with equivalent knowledge could not even attempt to approach his level of lyrical mastery. Nate goes on to note that if any third party smokes as he does, they would find themselves in a state of intoxication almost daily (from Nate's other works, it can be inferred that the substance referenced is marijuana[7]). Nate concludes his delineation of the night by issuing a threat to "busters," suggesting that he and Warren will further "regulate" any potential incidents in the future (presumably by engaging their antagonists with small arms fire).

ugh no that is the worst

According to TMZ, Dr. Dre will have the late rapper performing in the form of a hologram because he wanted to include him in the performance.

An image of Nate Dogg will be projected on stage to join Dre, Snoop Dogg, Kurupt, Warren G, and Daz Dillinger and create the appearance of an actual performance. The hologram form of the West Coast rapper is set to perform a number of songs.
