Nate Dogg: Nobody Did It Better

Hip-Hop lost another legend today with the passing of Nate Dogg. A member of 213 along with Snoop Dogg and Warren G., Nate burst on the scene on Dr. Dre’s all-time classic The Chronic. From there, he partnered with Warren G. for the timeless “Regulate,” which is the first song that comes to mind every time the name Nate Dogg is mentioned. Over his career Nate Dogg worked with almost every big name in hip-hop including: 2Pac, 50 Cent, Dr. Dre, E-40, Eminem, Fabolous, Freeway, Mos Def, Phaorahe Monch, Jadakiss, Ludacris, Redman, The Game, and Xzibit.

“Regulate,” “Oh No,” “How Long Will They Mourn Me?” and “Till I Collapse” are among my favorite rap songs ever made. With his health problems, including a pair of strokes, Nate’s voice hadn’t been heard much over the last five years. Akon became the go-to hook guy over that span, but Nate Dogg will always be the No. 1 voice for hip-hop hooks.

Truly, nobody does it better.
