Heaven just got another Dogg.
Sadly, after years of battling deteriorating health, rapper and LBC native Nate Dogg (whose real name was Nathaniel Hale) passed away at the age of 41.
No exact cause of death was immediately released when the family announced his death to the Long Beach Press Telegram, though the rapper suffered two massive strokes in recent years, one in 2007 which left him partially paralyzed, and another in 2008.
Nate Dogg was a four-time Grammy nominee and a major
participant in the West Coast G-Funk sound, contributing memorable and
chart-topping hooks to hits spanning the past two decades, starting
with his heavy featuring on Dr. Dre's The Chronic. He went on to add his smooth, laid-back sound to Warren G's "Regulate," Dre and Snoop Dogg's "The Next Episode," Ludacris' "Area Codes" and Eminem's "Shake That." His most recent solo album, Nate Dogg, was released in 2008.
Frequent
collaborator and longtime friend Snoop (back in 1991, then unknown
pals Snoop, Nate and Warren G formed a rap group called 213) was the
first to publicly mourn the loss.
"We lost a true legend n hip hop n rnb," he tweeted last night. "One of my best friends n a brother to me since 1986 when I was a sophomore at poly high where we met."I love u buddy luv.
