R.I.P. Nate Dogg

Tears are flowing through the 213 today, because Long Beach legend Nate Dogg is riding a hydraulics cloud up to heaven. Nate, a founding member of 213 with Snoop Dogg and Warren G, was only 41 years old.

Nate Dogg's family told The Long Beach Press-Telegram that he passed away, but didn't give any other details. Nate suffered two strokes in 2007 and 2008, and health problems have been fucking with him ever since.

Snoop Dogg has already poured one out for Nate Dogg on Twitter:

We lost a true legend n hip hop n rnb. 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. U will always b wit me 4ever n a day u put the g n g funk u put the 1 n 213 n u put yo stamp on evrybdy u ever didit wit

I miss u cuzz I am so sad but so happy I got to grow up wit u and I will c u again n heaven cuz u know d slogan

all doggs go to heaven yo homie n baby brotha bigg snoopdogg!!

RIP NATE DOGG.

Rest in peace, Nate Dogg. Here's hoping you're tokin' with the angels (that is really going to get me an abuelita chankla slap to the mouth).

I hear you. It irks me too, but some of them are family or practically family, so....

I give the benefit of the doubt by reasoning that they're using handheld devices with autotype and such, and are typing in a hurry. (I'm guilty as charged myself sometimes.)

Also, I frequently pepper my writing with ebonics, "Lolspeak", etc. I'm no Shakespeare. lol. I embrace the idea that language is always evolving.

However, I mourn the fact that basic grammar is dying in the process.

RIP Nate Dogg, you were a true talent to the rap community and music in general.

God. Damn. It.

I was delivering pizzas when Regulate was big on the radio, and I still remember how fucking awesome that song was - I would just drive around in my disgusting, grease-scented Civic hatchback with the windows open and "Regulate" blasting. Some musicians around where I live were doing covers of it.

Rest in Peace, Nate Dogg.

Ah Regulate takes me waaaaaaay back. My cool older cousin used to come over with cassettes for us to listen to and one of them had this song. Damn. I must have been 8 or so.
___________________________
LMAO at “cassettes”

I bet kids these days don’t even know what those are. I remember I used to listen to the radio and hit “record and play” on my “boom box” to record to his songs and others on my mix tape…HA-HA

I got the sads, he was part of my childhood too. I love his hooks in all the rap songs.

RIP Nate dog

Sooooooo..........when you die you're still able to read tweets? Glad to hear it, but I'd choose to catch up on reading BOOKS!

No idea who this guy is, but sad to read he had two strokes so young.

LOL (sadly) @ Stoney & The Machine. When I see young relatives'/friends' FB updates, I barely understand what they are saying and fear for the future...

R.I.P. NATE DOGG:

Have never been a fan of rap/hip-hop...but one of the few good things about the genre was his smoooooooth vocal contribution.I actually bothered to listen when I heard Nate "bring the hook".On to the next phase brotha'...

I thought it could be either way. Generation "that" or generation "who." I am not sure. I am not an English teacher, but I still think I can get my point across without sounding like a complete fool. But then again, I could be wrong. :)
*************************************************

it's ok, no worries, you don't come across as a fool. I make that slip too at times and more. The ''who'' is when you're talking about people or a person, the ''that'' is followed by a thing.

Not familiar with him, but 41 is way too young to die. Condolences to the family.

And trying to read Snoop's tweets almost gave me a migraine.

Awwww, so young. Sadness. His voice was on a lot of rap songs. No high notes, no low notes--he was too cool for all that shit! LOL

RIP
