R.I.P. Nate Dogg
Rest in power to Nate Dogg, who passed away last night at the young age of 41 years old. Nate had been in really bad health over the last 3 years after suffering two strokes. Nate sung some of the most memorable hooks in Hiphop history and changed the game with a one of a kind style. Below are some of my favorites featuring Nate Dogg, although there are many more. He's left us with one heck of a catalog!
