BREAKING: Nate Dogg Passes Away at 41 Years Old

    Hip Hop suffered another loss late last night, as Long Beach, California news site PressTelegram.com reports that Nathaniel “Nate Dogg” Hale has died at the age of 41.

    Although no official cause of death has been announced, the former Death Row alum suffered from two strokes, his most recent one in September 2008

    A number of artists have confirmed Nate’s passing via Twitter, including long-time friend and frequent collaborator Snoop Dogg.

    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 metless than a minute ago via web

    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 sloganless than a minute ago via web

    Born and raised in Long Beach, California, Nate Dogg first began singing in Long Beach’s New Hope Baptist Church in Long Beach and Life Line Baptist Church in Clarksdale, Mississippi, where his father was a pastor. In 1991, he formed a rap trio 213 with friends and fellow LBC residents Warren G and Snoop Dogg. Their demo found its way to Dr. Dre, who then enlisted all three members on his seminal debut The Chronic. Nate eventually signed with west coast powerhouse Death Row Records. 

    As a solo artist, Nate released three albums, including 1998’s G-Funk Classics, Vols. 1 & 2, 2001’s Music & Me and his self-titled 2003 release. He also reunited with Snoop Dogg and Warren G as 213 for 2004’s The Hard Way. Nate established himself as a staple of west coast Hip Hop in his plethora of guest features, singing on classics like Warren G’s “Regulate,” Snoop Dogg’s “Ain’t No Fun” and Dr. Dre’s “Xxplosive.” He also leant his vocals to a number of charting-topping hits from a wide variety of Hip Hop’s elite, including 2Pac, Eminem, Pharoahe Monch, Mos Def, Ludacris, 50 Cent and many more.

    HipHopDX would like to extend its deepest condolences and sympathies to the family and friends of Nate Dogg.

      R.I.P.

    13. FUCKIN SHIT MOTHA FUCKA !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

      RIP NATE DOGG

      U WILL BE TRULLY MISSED !!

      NAH THIS NEWS FUCKED UP MY DAY RIGHT NOW !!!!!!

    14. Just woke up when i read this headline. I thought i was in a nightmare till i realized it wasn’t… =/

      One of the most iconic voices in gangsta rap who sang some of the most epic hooks ever! Now chilling in heaven with Eazy-E and 2Pac… Damn.

      Too many cats who sing but only one Nate Dogg. RIP man!

      And to Snoop Dogg and the DPG family, keep your heads up! Real legends never die!

    15. no nate dogg….hip hop went to hell when he got sick and now that he gone idk when or if it will get back to where it was when he was doin his thing…irreplaceable

    16. My heart sank when I first read the headline. RIP Nate Dogg, one of the realest hip-hop hook artists to ever do it.

      I couldn’t picture classics tracks like Ain’t No Fun, The Next Episode, Bitch Please or Regulators to be as engaging without Nate’s magic. Hope Dre or Snoop do something special in their upcoming albums dedicated to him.

      1. Whoever you are, I wanna stand wit you in the thought that “People DO need to quit smoking weed!” After suffering so much pain on JUST A LITTLE weed, I see what it does! Dont MINIMIZE it! Its REAL! And WEED AINT FROM GOD! And even if it is, gluttony (over-indulgence) is a SIN! Long-term effects suffered by so many arent worth it! How BOUT OUR YOUTH? Dont any of ya all have KIDS? I KNOW WEED IS A GATEWAY DRUG! And I never belived all that till I fell into it (and other drugs) A DRUG IS A DRUG IS A DRUG IS A DRUG!!! And DRUGS DO KILL! SO I GOTTA SAY IT, “TAKE A STAND!” If not fo yo self, FOR OUR YOUTH! Arent you tired of all this death? TIME TO GROW UP OR GET THE FUK OUT! Ya’ll aint in High school anymore!

      2. It’s not the weed only. He probably had a poor diet also. Smoking isn’t the only causes for a stroke. Stress, not exercising, poor diet causes strokes.

      1. U do know that the weed ur lighting up is what killed him….He had a stroke bcuz he was smoking too much weed……I hope snoop dog stops smoking weed like dr dre…Thats y dr dre hit the gym!!!

      2. Shut the fuck up u dumb bitch. He had health issues due to his drinking. Weed is actually good for your health you moron. Why the fuck do you think Willie Nelson is still alive? Shut the fuck up and go choke on a hennessy bottle u fucking faggot

      3. blah blah blah, shut the fuck up faggot. u bitches got no proof weed is bad but keep opening ur fucking mouth. Show some proof or shut the fuck up. while your at it, why don’t u show me the WMD in Iraq and proof jesus is god too while your at it. biatch!

    17. R.I.P Nate

      Hip Hop lost a GREAT voice

      I’m sure he is gonna be on Detox now, and we ”the fans” need that
      I know I do, and now it’s seems time for a D.P.G.C double CD album, long overdue

      And put that stereo on blast

    18. R.I.P NATE DOGG O.G. G funk Pioneer Dogg Pound Gangsta For life You changed the game homie nobody did it like nate dogg nobody.

    19. Damn man…. I dont even know what to say right now……. RIP to the greatest singer in the hip hop, gfunk era…. Nobody beat nate on the hook. He was a true G. There aint nobody that can take his place… Damn, hope your havin fun up ther with Big, Pac, Eazy, Pun, Big L and all the others whose life was taken too young RIP man… Im gunna miss you

    20. Rest in peace to the big homie Nate. Been jammin’ your music ever since I was a young one.
      Hip hop won’t be the same without ya. Definately one of the greatest of all time.

    21. RIP to the Dogg Pound. You will truly be missed on this planet, but rock it OLD SCHOOL IN HEAVEN NATE….WE LOVE YOU AND MISS YOU!!!!!!

    22. a true legend in hip-hop. he will be sorely missed. his voice was so original and so recognizable man. that’s sad. and he was still so young.

    23. man…just makes you realize just how short this life really is.
      R.I.P. Nate hip-hop will miss you deeply, gone too soon

    24. Condolences to the family and the West Coast for the loss of a true legend in Hip-Hop. Rest in peace Nate.

    25. SHout out to Hip Hop DX For showing love.. The first fucking site to give it up and even went far enough to give a bio to those that don’t know. RIP NATE.

    26. This is really sad , he was a legend , I missed his hooks ever since he got those strokes , makes you realize how short this life is , 41 years old , no age to go , he will surely be missed but always live forever thru his muzik , RIP Nate dogg

    27. Damn, why do all special artists die so early? The ones that stand out, like Ol’ Dirty Bastard (of Wu-Tang Clan), Guru or Nate Dogg or Big L. R.I.P.

    28. damn i remember hearing about the first stroke..and i just thought fuck it he’ll still be around in the rap game some how..then i heard about the second one and how warren g was making statements about his situation..seemed positive..its a damn same that hiphopdx doesnt have news about his passing on the top of the homepage.little kids will never understand how essential nate dogg was to gangsta rap.the same kids who never felt fucked up when dj’s were announcing 2pac’s and biggie’s death.i truely feel fucked up about the lose of a true G,nate dogg.it aint no fuuuuuuuun!

    29. I got the news first thing this morning…I never knew “gangstas” could sing and harmonize until I heard Nate Dogg. I never got to see him perform live but I’m happy I was part of the era that witnessed his talent from day one. I still remember how I use to ride to that Warren G. (Regulate…G Funk Era)…R.I.P. Nate Dogg!

    30. R.I.P big homie….a legend has passed…thanks for everything…one of the best to ever do it…

    31. R.I.P NATE DOGG, You Will NEVER-EVER Be FORGOTTEN… I Hope You and PAC Continue Making CLASSIC HITS Up There.

    32. “If you know like I know, you don’t wanna step to this
      It’s the G-funk era funked out with a gangsta twist
      If you smoke like I smoke, then you high like every day
      And if you’re ass is a buster, 213 will regulate”

      When it comes to singing hooks, Nate Dogg was the master with one of the smoothest voices I’ve heard. It’s a shame that he’s gone now, but his voice and music will stay here forever.

      RIP Nate Dogg

    33. I just lost a part of my childhood right there..R.I.P Nate Dogg…King of hooks and an O.G in the game…

    34. DONT GET IT TWISTED nate dogg was more than just a guy who would sing the hook often he would select the track then laydown the hook then it was up to the rapper to do the rest nate was a TRUE hitmaker a very unique talent that will be missed he could have done any type of music buti think him for staying in a hiphop frame of mind how many times you would replay the song just to hear nate?

    35. Damn, R.I.P

      first time I ever heard of you was on “Till I Collapse”…wish I heard of you sooner

      Why God? Why take Nate Dogg instead of Justin Bieber?

      1. Why would you write something like that at the end of a serious message? I’m not a fan of J.B. but to wish death on a 14-16 ( i dont know how old he is) is pathetic.

        And you only heard of Nate Dogg on the Eminem Show? Your a lame and your not a hip-hop fan if you only heard of Nate Dogg in 2003.

        RIP Nate Dogg, you are already missed.

      2. @Bossa

        Okay I was like 10 at the time retard. Stfu and get off my dick and don’t get butt hurt about what I said

        faggot

      3. If you were 10 in 2003 that means your 18-19 now? Why the fuck are you still acting like a 10-year-old. Talking about “why couldn’t have been Justin Bieber?” Man, stfu! Shit isn’t always funny dude, grow up. Fuck.

    36. DAM, SOMEONE ON HERE SAID THE FIRST TIME THEY HEARD OF NATE DOGG WAS ON EMINEMS “TILL I COLLAPSE”. THESE CATS ARE MAKIN ME FEEL OLD AS HELL…… REGULATORS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

      1. we with ya mikey. some people here did discover their hip hop long before the youngins. in probably more legit terms too…

        but not to knock the youngins. i got fifteen year old heads next door that bump d.i.t.c. shit all day especially o.c.’s “word … life”. and bang tha liks every friday saturday and sunday like clockwork. (actually made me rediscover them, that shit bangs hard as ever, e-swift is a champ. at the boards). young hip hoppers, discover in any way that you can. keep digging and exploring earlier shit, you basically on your own- so form your own opinion, nate dogg has some crazy flavor in his earlier days.

        may i suggest starting at schoolly d?

    37. Rip O.G! U are defo the king of Hiphop hooks! Was listening to a Craig David song “7 days Remix” just the other day and it made me sit and realise how far and wide u had gone in such a wonderful carreer. You have cemented yourself in a lot of hiphop classic and u desreve ur spot amongst the greats.

      213 forever

    38. R.I.P. Nate Dogg, you’ll be missed 🙁
      A big loss for hip hop.
      My condolences to his family and friends.

    39. R.I.P. Nate Dogg. You will be missed.
      Just a while back i was on a youtube video and i wrote Nate Dogg is the king of hooks! I guess God wanted someone in heaven for hooks during prayers. The good die young.

    40. R.I.P Nate Dogg.

      Now I have as much faith in the Hip Hop industry as I do with Christianity. All we got now are fucking retard rappers like Gucci Mane, Wacka Flocka and Lil Wayne.

    41. Nate is and always will be a part of mine and many hip hop fan’s history and culture. DPG, G-Funk, 213, It aint no fun if the homies can have none homie… Already miss you. Regulate it up in heaven Tripple OG..

    42. I’d like to echo the the sentiments here and say RIP to this dude. Over here in the UK, we lost a reggae emcee last night, Smiley Culture. It’s a bit suspect how he died, the cops were involved, but his LP from the mid ’80s was one of the first I bought.

    43. Nate was always my favorite R&B singer, ever! I love his music. He will be missed. RIP for the homie and his fam. 213 fo life!

      1. I just wish your mom would have swallowed you instead. Now ima have to slap the bitch!!
        KKK? hah but you come into this site….you are a true IDIOT!

      2. you betta be glad can’t nobody see yo ass sitting up here talking shit.. R.i.p nate dogg

    44. HE WOULD HAVE BEEN ALIVE ONLY IF HE QUIT SMOKING AND DRINKING AND DID SOME REGULAR EXERCISES COS RIGHT FROM TIME , NATE WAS ONE LAZY ASS NIGGA !

      1. You’re not funny, you’re not cool, you’re not witty.

        You’re just a dick who spits on a person’s grave for his own attention. You’re scum. Do us a favor: kiss the barrel of a shotgun and end your miserable existence. You should be the dead one here, not Nate.

    45. Damn….I grew up listening to this dude, each one of his songs brings up great memories, living out here in LA it was hard not to hear his voice. I’ll never forget when I saw dude at the Lakewood Mall, I was geeked as hell….Rest In Paradise Big Homey……

    46. RIP NATE DOGG. MAY GOD GIVE UR FAMILY STRENGTH THEY NEED TO GO ON. OUR CONDOLENCES FROM THE CULLEYS IN MARYLAND

    47. R.i.p big hoime its crazy that you gone but your in a better place….. growing up in los angeles its crazy . nate dogg got a nigga threw alotta of shit 4real….. Got respect from all hood. Crips / Bloods/ And mexican.A true lengend 4 real

      From Mastarmind 4um Carson , C.a 1 luv Nate Dogg

    48. If you wanted that golden hook, you got the Dogg…NO ONE will ever do it like this man did…RIP big homie.

    49. i agree with all…no one will ever sing like nate on a hh hook. rip nate…we love you and we will always will (Argentina HH Community)

    50. nate descansá en paz amigo, en argentina te amamos y te vamos a extrañar, espero que hayas grabado algo para detox o que usen tu voz porque sin vos un disco de dre no es un disco de dre!

    51. Im at a lost for words just like how im sure Kurupt, Daz & Warren are right now. I was and still am the biggest nate dogg fan, I just had a conversation with my homies not even 3 weeks ago talking about how there is no other nate dogg. i dont even listen to RnB or that Drake gay signing shit ever, only time i will ever listen to it would be through the vocal chords of the one and only nate dogg. he mastered the transition between hip hop and rnb. u can search high n low but u will never find another Nate D-O-Double G. The westcoast has lost yet another legend. Rest In Paradise Nathaniel Dwayne Hale, U truly were one of a kind..

    52. R.I.P To my nigga nate..if it wasnt for you our heroes of hip hop wouldnt have as many classics in their catalogs if it wasnt for your dope hooks.. you will be missed greatly DPG 4 LIFE!

    53. Im a westside southern Cali nigga myself, I dont even live but 10 miles from the lbc so hearing this tragic news really hurt my heart. i was praying one day nate would make a full recover and i would be able to hear that voice one more time, atleast just one more hook..shit brings tear my eyes man real shit..its a sad day for music, hip hop has lost another great. R.I.P. Nate DOGG

    54. i am shocked…..

      god i can’t believe this…..

      can’t say a single word….

      rip from greece….

      u will be never forgotten…

    55. R.I.P Nate Dogg I still can’t believe he’s dead. This shit is unbelievable. I’m gonna be bumping his music for the rest of the week. Snoop keep ya head up cuz.

    56. I had a lot to things to do today…but i decided to quit everything and just smoke a couple of joints and listen to all of his HITZ. “Smoke weed everyday” hell motherfucking yessssssssssssssssssssss

    57. Anyone who thinks T-Pain or Akon was better at hooks than Nate is an idiot. Nate was the king and always will be. R.I.P. you were a great voice to music and will be missed.

      1. those 2 can never compare to nate dogg…NEVER. t-pain’s wretched name does not deserve to be mentioned in the same context as nate dogg, not even in the same sentence. nate dogg for life.

    58. RIP Nate Dogg…

      Coming from L.A., this news hits extra hard…

      I BEEN had a Nate Dogg playlist on my ipod…

      once again, RIP – hip hop and the west coast will never be the same again.

    59. Nate Dogg has the best and most iconic hooks i`ve ever seen, i knew that his health wasn`t great and he lived some hard times lately but i never thought that he could pass away so early. I expected to hear him in Detox or RED in some hooks this isn`t fair still can*t belive. RIP Nate we love you bro

    60. That’s a loss of another legend in RAP. He was and always will be the best hook artist that a rapper could have, not to mention an amazing solo artist. R.I.P. Nate Dogg

    61. Peace to the big Homey Nate. If he sang on a hook, the song was ceritified. Before autotune and supersonic special effects, just straight blowin.

    62. damn bro say it aint so r.i.g. from nyc to a tru cali g nigga u sung and still made it gangsta as ever cuz and the dude above me should be in ur place up der word..

    63. Till I Collapse— Nate Dogg made that one of em’s greatest… he had the best voice for a hook ever… blows that autotune bullshit away

    64. never was a fan of hooks in raps honestly, but something about nate dogg’s voice that just sparkles a track, he really had a nack for it. HIPHOPDX should really write an article addressing health concerns in hip hop. guru ,nate dogg, who’s next: hex murda, kool herc? its just sad….

      RIP Big Nate from the 514

    65. i never met him, but it felt like i knew him….i grew up on his stuff! bumpin g-fuck classics rite now and im feelin emotional…..NOBODY DOES IT BETTER!!! R.I.P BIG NATE DOGG

    66. There will never be another gentleman quite like the brother Nate Dogg…No one instilled songs with the degree of smoothness, heartfelt emotion, and raw passion that he did. A bonafide ‘G’ REAL TALK. Lets also not forget that the Chronic and 2001 wouldn’t have been as magnificent without his magnificent presence… R.I.P. Nate Dogg; Wishing you eternal happiness and benificence in the afterlife!!

    67. Smdh….Now Papoose will inevitably feel obligated to release a “2011 Obituary”.
      (Edit: Previous post is mine too)

    68. Nate Dogg was a living testament to what it meant to write quality music. I wish him and his family nothing but the best. People remember him as an entertainer, but the man, behind closed scenes, will be missed by those he met.

      Rest In Peace, Nate.

    69. “I’ll bring tha bag of weed
      You can bring the bottle of wine,
      Call me whenever, we can get together
      And have us a real good time”

      R.I.P. NATE DOGG

      1. U A SILLY NIGGA… STICK TO X-BOX BEACUSE YOU DEF DONT KNOW SHIT ABOUT MUSIC, RESPECT A MAN WHO JUST LOST HIS BATTLE TO THIS FUCKED WORLD WE LIVE IN…. YOU BITOCCCHHH

    70. Nate dogg will not be forgotten. We will be reminded of his impact on the hip-hop game every time we hear his unique, smooth style in our headphones. RIP Nate Dogg, all doggs go to heaven!

    71. A Westcoast legend for sure! R.I.P. Nate Dogg!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    72. “Hold up, waiiiiiiit

      damn your voice is a classic RIP bro !!

    73. Nate Dogg’s Voice spoiled me to the point where i cant appreciate any other R&B singer on a hook, everyone else is a bottom barrel amatuer compared to Nate.
      A True Original is gone today, But he will never be forgotten. R.I.P.

    74. i really hope people use this to lok back on nate’s solo albums g funk and music and me and see how underrated they were. plus he practically mae that 213 album. his hooks were ridiculous

    75. R.I.P to one of Hip-Hop’s greatest singers ever! 1 luv Nate Dogg, the game will miss you and your soulful voice!

    76. R.I.P MY G AND THANX 4 FOR ALL THE CONTRIBUTIONS U MADE TO THE GAME!!!!!!!
      WE ALL KNW U WAS THE MOST UNDERRATED DOG IN THE GAME BUT WE ALSO KNW UR ENERGY AND ICONIC HOOKS ON TRACKS!!!!!!!!!!

    77. “Nate: You’ve got to bring love into your music, if you can’t feel it, then nobody else will feel it.”

      R.I.P. G.O.A.T. no doubt about it.

    78. Hip Hop has lost a limb man 4 real. All d news bout him makin a recovery, I didnt expect this 4 a mufukin second. RIP Nate

    79. “Hold up waaaiit…… smoke weed everyday.” best nate dogg quotable, everybody knew that shit. illest ending to a song.

        R.I.P. Nate Dogg

    88. never was a fan of hooks in raps honestly, but something about nate dogg’s voice that just sparkles a track, he really had a nack for it. HIPHOPDX should really write an article addressing health concerns in hip hop. guru ,nate dogg, who’s next: hex murda, kool herc? its just sad….
