RIP Nate Dogg

So on Tuesday March 15th, the hip-hop and rap community lost yet again one of there great rappers. Nate Dogg has collaborated with many artist starting in the late 80's. He was known for his chorus's on many songs from artist ranging from Eminem, Ludacris, Dr. Dre, 50 Cent, Warren G, Tupac, & Snoop Dogg to name a few.  Rapper Ice Cube once said in one of his songs "It must be a single if Nate Dogg sings on it," and this was so true. Every song that Nate Dogg was on was either a classic hit or a single for any artist.

Growing up in Long Beach with Warren G & Snoop Dogg allowed for the three of them to make their mark on Hip-Hop/Rap by being the founding fathers of west coast rap/Gangsta Rap/G-Funk. I know Nate dogg has influenced me along with the majority of rapers now a days.  Unfortunately He suffered from two strokes in 2007 & 2008 that left him paralyzed for quite some time. The cause of his death is unknown at this time, but it most likely had to do with those two prior strokes.

I Love so many of Nate Dogg’s song that it is really hard for me to pick one to post up, but I guess ill post this one up:
