RIP Nate Dogg

RIP to one of the true G-Funk stalwarts, Nate Dogg. Dude's health was bad over the last couple years, suffering two strokes about 3-4 years ago. Not sure what the final cause of death is, but this is a blow to those of us who grew up on the early Death Row classics. Started out as the sangin'-ass member of 213 with Warren G and Snoop, it's his memorable turns on tracks like "Regulate", "The Next Episode", "Can't Deny It", "21 Questions", "Area Codes" and others that we all will remember... dude had a way of flippin' and bouncin' his voice, sangin' but keeping it so gangsta. I hate when an R&B singer tries to sound adult by cursing - Nate sounding like a G who just happened to harmonize.

We wish, young Ivan. We wish. Rest in power, Nate.

EDIT I contributed to "The 10 Most Memorable Nate Dogg Hooks" post over on TRU (big up Rizoh & Jaap); there's also a dope mix that dropped months back that's been doing my head in all day...
