Nate Dogg is being remembered by some of his friends and collaborators on the fifth anniversary of his death.
“Miss my Dogg,” fellow 213 member Snoop Dogg writes in the first of a series of posts he made honoring his late friend and collaborator on Twitter today (March 15).
Before any of them enjoyed national acclaim Snoop Dogg, Nate Dogg and Warren G formed the group 213, a nod to the-then area code of their hometown of Long Beach, California.
After Nate Dogg rose to prominence through his appearance on Snoop Dogg’s “Ain’t No Fun,” among other selections, Nate Dogg became a national star when he collaborated with Warren G on the 1994 hit single “Regulate.”
“#pals #gfunk #213 #dpg the game will never be the same. ?? I love and miss you,” Warren G writes on Instagram accompanying a photo of his late friend.
Xzibit, who collaborated with Nate Dogg on Snoop Dogg’s 1999 single “Bitch Please,” was a part of Nate Dogg’s funeral service. The singer died due to complications from a series of strokes.
“I cannot say enough about the late great #NateDogg!” Xzibit writes on Instagram today. “This photo was sent to me, it’s a photo of @snoopdogg speaking at the funeral, I was asked to be a pallbearer by his mother and family. I was close to Nate but never as close as 213 and the LBC car, so for that I say thank you for allowing me to be part of his life at this dark time for everyone involved. I was about to speak and was trying to gather my thoughts and not break down, in order to speak to the greatness and legendary status of Nathaniel Hale aka #NateDogg. I can honestly say it’s been 5 years but it still feels fresh and like it happened yesterday. Brother Nate we miss you and love you. When you passed it felt like part of the coast passed with you. You will be missed. Forever. Rest In Power. #NateDogg August 16th, 1969-March 15th, 2011.”
In addition to being one of Rap’s go-to singers for hooks and collaborations, Nate Dogg released his G-Funk Classics Vol. 1 & 2 album on his own Dogg Foundation Records in 1998.

Xxplosive one of my all time favorites, Nate dogg RIP
“Sixteen in the clip and one in the hole, Nate Dogg is about to make some bodies turn cold” – “Regulate” with Warren G was my shit back in the day i ain’t even gonna front
No disrespect but why a legend? He only sung hooks. There are 10.000 rnb singers who sing hooks.
He not only did hooks, but he put out albums as well. The unfortunate part is that he got typecast by his hooks but that should not detract from his ability to make strong songs. Granted, there is a strong case for being primarily a hook writer but those hooks elevated other artists’ songs to gold and platinum level. Take Fab’s song “Can’t Deny It”…without that hook, that song would be average at best, now it’s a classic single that pushed Fab to star status. So instead of calling him a great hook singer, I’ll choose to call him a great singer. #nobodydoesitbetter -Peace.
Nate sung those so much better than anyone else. Golden voice.
That’s true, i was about to say the same shit.. i mean yeah his hooks was aight, though once you heard him sing a hook on one track you heard them all. Very monotone style, in my opinion. But he did work with a whole bunch of artists from east to west, so i guess that qualifies him as a legend or something, fuck if i know
he dropped 3 phat solo albums along wit collaborations with 213, Pac, DPGC and countless other legends.
He’s a legend and yes hooks he did but he was the best at the hooks so that’swhat makes him a legend

Blablabla, you couldn’t be serious. If you’re questioning Nate Doggs “legendary” status then stop listening to hiphop music period
You must be from the younger generation. Nate was THE singing voice in hip hop. No auto tune bull sh*t. He was the only one who sung and stay real G.
Bitch please

21 questions
Too much to think of
his own albums best singing ever he did R&B but turned that to hip hop
Rip
There was a day when not many guys we’re singing on rap records, cause r&b singers were considered soft. Nate Dogg was the first cat singing on any songs and respected for being a real street guy. nelly took it to the next level, although his voice was nowhere near Nate Doggs’, singing/rapping on songs and now everyone does it (drake, future, etc) and the music has become straight trash; plus now r&b singers are ‘tough guys’ too (chris brown). Nate Dogg started it, and did it flawlessly. You know you’re the real deal when you got ZERO haters at all and everyone respects your shit. He’s a legend.
RIP Nate. Still bump G Funk Classics and Music and Me to this day. Future and A lot of the guys in the rap game today owe u their gratitude. Some of them may not even have careers if you still were here
