May 8, 2015 Nate Dogg is one of my most respected people in HipHop, I put him up there with legends like Dre and Snoop, so I thought I'd make a thread about the king of HipHop hook's. Information on him is so scattered these days its hard to keep track on whats going on with his music, so I thought we could have a little corner on this (GOAT) forum just dedicated to him. With any new info about upcoming music projects or anything else. 2015 Nate Dogg: As it stands now; he's apparently got a posthumous album called "It's A Wonderful Life" being worked on by Warren G and others, but nothing has been mentioned on it since its second pushback in early 2014. So who knows if it will surface? I really hope it does because the last project Warren G produced with Nate and Game "Party We Will Throw Now" I thought was classic. Also Warren G has said he still has lots of unheard material from him and Nate Dogg but won't release anything until the right offer comes along from a music label. Do you think this music will ever see a proper release? So what did you like about Nate Dogg? Personally, i thought everything he touched instantly made the song a lot more harder and legit. He was so flexible with his vocals he always seemed to blend in nicely but also stand out at the same time. He was taken away too soon at only 42 years of age and probably still had YEARS of good music left in him. I've been following his music for years and collected a lot of his tracks, and I've yet to hear a bad hook. I'd love to hear what else they have in the vault. BIG UPDATE: Warren G has just announced on Twitter 'Regulate... G Funk Era Part II' is happening: The first single featuring Nate Dogg is available to pre-order: https://itunes.apple.com/us/album/my-house-feat.-nate-dogg-single/id1016675480?i=1016675494 More recent Nate: There has been a fair few Nate releases in the past couple of years, but as usual they go under the radar so you really have to purposely look for them: [2014] Kam Feat. Nate Dogg - Bubblin' - OFFICIAL RELEASE AFTER SONG LEAKING ONLINE [2015] Warren G Feat. Nate Dogg - My House - OFFICIAL RELEASE WITH MUSIC VIDEO [2016] Lil' Bams Feat. Nate Dogg - Wet Your Lips - OFFICIAL RELEASE [2016] Sam Scarfo Feat. Ski Beatz & Nate Dogg - OFFICIAL RELEASE [2016] SNBRN Feat. Nate Dogg - Gangsta Walk - OFFICIAL RELEASE
May 8, 2015 His hooks on Boss's Life, Till I collapse, Ain't No Fun, All About U & 21 Questions are given classics. One of my favorite collabs from him is his on The Funk by Notorious BIG that didn't make it on the final chapter
May 8, 2015 Good choices there bro, especially The Funk - can't believe that could go unreleased. You hear the "Leave It Alone" track prod. by Dr Dre that Hittman leaked a while back?
May 8, 2015 Yessir, my collection's probably close to yours. Songs like Good Life w/ NaS or Holiday w/Twista are criminally ignored, s--- pisses me off lol
May 8, 2015 Holiday was dope af, it always made me feel weird knowing that it was of his last tracks before he died and he speaks about getting away on holiday lol its as if he knew he was going. I think Nate is so underrated and overlooked in general. Whenever I mention his music to my friends they never know who I'm talking about... Might have to trade some tracks if you want bro, might have some each other don't have ;]
May 8, 2015 d--- I had never heard Good Life before. Nate's so smooth on it like he is on every track. Nas says "Nate Dogg, Nas and Kurupt" on his verse but that second verse wasn't Kurupt, who was that?
May 8, 2015 Just hit the east side of the LBC On a mission tryna find Mr. Warren G R.I.P. to one of the coolest to ever do it.
May 8, 2015 Nice to see Nate getting so much love on this forum (: This is a pretty underrated Gem from him and DJ Quik:
May 9, 2015 thank god this thread has been created! nate has always been in my top 10 favorite artists of all time. so many classic songs and guest spots. i remember i made a 5 disk compilation of his best songs/guest spots after he passed. if anyone wants that hit me up btw. wish a wonderful life had dropped. i was looking forward to that more than anything last year. i could honestly k--- for some new nate
May 9, 2015 An absolute classic with an absolute classic chorus. One of my favorite rap songs of all time, and yet another CLASSIC chorus from Nate Dogg
May 9, 2015 d--- i thought i had an impressive collection of nate songs. never knew that song with layzie bone and twista existed. propz @831's Finest for those. hella dope! anyone have a link for leave it alone prod by dr dre that hitman leaked? cant find the untagged full version anywhere
