Yesterday in the LBC, the world lost a true rap icon and innovator.
Nate Dogg was born Nathaniel D. Hale and was one of the founders of G-Funk along with Warren G and Snoop (and others like DJ Quik). He was a true originator of the "sing a kinda R'nB hook on this track homie" style that we all now know as a staple of 'hip-hop' today.
Everyone has their own personal favorites and memories of Nate's vocals and this has been true since his beginnings. His voice had such a memorable, unique, and haunting tone that tracks he was on instantly captivated. Me anyway.
