Nate Dogg’s new tombstone was unveiled at Forest Lawn Cemetery in his hometown of Long Beach, California on Saturday (February 29). According to Press Telegram, more than 100 of the late Hip Hop legend’s friends and family showed up for the ceremony, including Tha Dogg Pound’s Daz Dillinger.
The tombstone includes his nickname “King of Hooks” as well as lyrics from 2001’s “Music & Me.”
“It is a work of art, to say the least,” Nate Dogg’s sister Pamela Hale said. “The design captures every part of who my brother was, his music, his city, his style – even his military service.”
Nate Dogg served as a Marine for three years before returning back to Long Beach where he formed 213 with Snoop Dogg and Warren G. In 2007, he suffered a stroke and a second one less than a year later. He ultimately died on March 15, 2011 due to complications at the age of 41.

Despite his untimely passing, Nate Dogg’s legacy lives on. More recently, his vocals were included on Anderson .Paak’s “What Can We Do?” from 2019’s Ventura, which won a Grammy Award in the Best R&B Album category.
“A great deal of who my brother was, is in his music and to be able to turn on a radio and still hear his voice is a blessing,” Hale added. “His is missed by so many and the music world lost a gift. But his legacy will continue in his music. It’s an honor to call a great talent my little brother.”

Wow. I didn’t know Nate Dogg was a Marine. Respect to him.
If he only did 3 years he either got kicked out or medically discharged…
Not true. There are two-year contracts just depending on how bad they need people. You’re still on contract though with the reserves. I know I read that he was honorably discharged, so he didn’t get kicked out.
RIP Nate. Grew up listening to you.
Nobody does it better…miss u Nate…class of 93

Another article about an irrelevant has been. The back up singer for warren g. Boo hoo.
RIP nate but how come this being done 9 years after his death? Snoop, Daz etc didn’t have $$ for tombstone??
Hell, I wouldn’t write a check for some ignorant shit like that either. He was a grown man, so he needed to have his own affairs in order if that’s what he wanted. Life insurance costs like $15 a month. His family is dumb af for wasting money on it.
Wasting money on that bullshit. Nate gone. I doubt these people have the money to spare, so why are they?
