As I woke up this morning, my phone rang. And weirdly enough, my ringtone is Regulators. Unaware of the news, I just went on with my regular day. Until I checked my twitter page, and saw everyone tweeting about his unexplained death.
"Nathaniel Dwayne Hale, who came to fame in the 1990s after debuting on Dr. Dre’s The Chronic, died last night at the age of 41. The singer suffered a stroke in 2008. The cause of death has not yet been released." ( http://music-mix.ew.com/2011/03/16/nate-dogg-snoop-dog/ )
I think the Rap community has truly lost a legend. And that he will be missed. 41 years WOW. So young? I only started listening to him and the oh so famous "Regulators" when I was in high school. 2000 I think. And all thanks to my brother hehe. After listening to Regulators one afternoon while he was working out, I was hooked. After that, my instant favourites were "Ain't no fun if the homies cant have none" and "Lay Low". I bet Warren G wont be the same after yesterday. Sad but true. Don't you think?
Nonetheless, may he r.i.p and forever be remembered as the true Regulator!
