Rapper, acquitted felon, and former Marine (?) Nathaniel D. Hale passed away at the age of 41 due to complications from a stroke he suffered in 2008. Nate Dogg's key career moment occurred as a sophomore in high school when he met Snoop Dogg at LBC's Poly High in 1986. His breakout performance on Dr. Dre's "The Chronic" led to future appearances on 50 Cent’s “21 Questions”, Ludacris’ “Area Codes”, Eminem’s “Shake That” and Tupac Shakur’s “All About U”. He's best known on TCD for his eloquence on Warren G's "Regulators." Read a brief obit here.
Also, I wonder if Nate Dogg was named after this Nate Hale?
also fabolous' "can't deny it" one of my favorite jams of '01
