Hip Hop has lost another pillar in its foundation with the passing of hook legend Nate Dogg last night. We all have at least one good memory with some song that Nate Dogg appeared on and he will always pop back up in our hearts through his music. While the cause of his death is immediately unknown, Nate Dogg has had a rough medical past few years with multiple strokes on record. While I sort of still wish I could pop on an Eminem song and hear him on a new track one last time, he left enough of a legacy to always give us something dope to bump to whether it be Regulate, 21 Questions, Shake That or whatever else is your personal favorite. Nate Dogg was an artist that seemed to always be able to get the perfect sound to the hook on a song and put countless hits over the top. He is something that a lot of artists are turning into today, or at least trying, and his impact will never be forgotten. Nate Dogg joins an ever growing list of names in the rap world who are leaving us too soon and we can only hope that this trend can finally stop.
RIP Nate Dogg
