Nate Dogg, whose hooks boosted rap hits, dies
Nate Dogg, whose hooks boosted rap hits, dies
Posted: Mar 16, 2011 11:26 AM EDT Updated: Mar 16, 2011 12:05 PM EDT LOS ANGELES - Singer Nate Dogg, whose near monotone crooning anchored some of rap's most seminal songs and helped define the sound of West coast hip-hop, has died at age 41. Attorney Mark Geragos said Nate Dogg, whose real name was Nathaniel D. Hale, died Tuesday of complications from multiple strokes. Nate Dogg wasn't a rapper, but he was an integral figure in the genre: His deep voice wasn't particularly melodic, but its tone - at times menacing, at times playful, yet always charming - provided just the just the right touch on hits including Warren G's "Regulate," 50 Cent's "21 Questions," Dr. Dre's "The Next Episode" and countless others. While Nate Dogg provided hooks for rappers from coast to coast, the Long Beach, California, native is best known for his contributions to the West Coast soundtrack provided by the likes of Snoop Dogg, Dr. Dre, the Dogg Pound and more. Nate Dogg was even part of a "supergroup" featuring Snoop Dogg and Warren G, called 213. Nate Dogg also put out his own solo projects but was best known for his collaborations with others. He had suffered strokes in recent years. |

Sad, though you have to wonder if drugs had anything to do with the strokes...

man that sucks
I liked Nate Dogg and the whole G Funk era. Music I use to listen to as a teen back in the days. Fu**ing rappers today suck. Coming from suburbs who had a mom and dad. And mom and dad had a great marriage and dad had a great job. Whatever happened rapping like Eazy about inner city poverty struggle, police beat downs that went unheard and crack ruining neighborhoods. Now it's about bling from a bunch of sissy suburbanite rappers who tattoo themselves to look hard. rant pending off. I'm still pissed at what they did to Eazy's music. |

Not me. I hated that shet. I lost all interest in rap after its renaissance years (pre-1990). Peep the movie "Brown Sugar" and you'll see what time it is. |

but you don't even like Talib?
Nope. I was down with A Tribe Called Quest and The Ultra-Magnetic MC's back in the day, though. Remember their 1985 album "Check the Rhime" and shet? |

I don't remember it, but I've heard it. I was born in '86. I'm not a big Quest fan. I did listen to about 4 or 5 of their albums before making that decision though. There are a few songs I liked, like the one you posted, but I didn't like all of it.

There is no talent or uniqueness now. From athletes to singers. Cars to construction. Fashion to personality. Comedians to artists. Now it's all the same..boring..lame..shit. And funny thing is they compare themselves to earlier generation icons.

I was never into A Tribe Called Quest. I tried listening to their music but I didn't care for it. Doesn't mean they were horrible. I liked NWA and anything Eazy E. Ice Cube Death Certificate, The Chronic, Ready to Die, and All Eyez on Me. After that I stopped listening to whatever came out except a few mainstream radio catchy hits. I liked NWA because they had a unique style. I couldn't relate to getting a beat down by five-O or living in poverty because that wasn't me. But I liked they pissed the world off by bringing in truth and speaking their mind. Biggie's song Suicidal Thoughts you can feel it. Today, there is nothing. It's like they sing without emotions or feelings. They are awful and tasteless.
