In an interview with DJ Skee, Warren G revealed behind-the-scenes details about the recording process of his classic song, “Regulate,” which featured a notable performance by the late Nate Dogg.
“I had an apartment on Long Beach Boulevard in San Antonio, and I didn’t have no furniture. [Laughing] I had dog shit all over the floor, and I had two bedrooms. In one of my bedrooms, all I had was studio equipment. I did the sample, plugged my VCR into the MPC60, sampled [the intro], and after I finished it, I called Nate, and said ‘Nate, I got a record I think we should do, and go back-and-forth on it. I think it’d be dope.’
“Nate came over, heard it, and was like, ‘Damn!’ So from there, we hooked up a mic in the closet, and I called my engineer, Greg. He came over and recorded it, and there it is.”
Perhaps most surprising about the story is that the vocals were never re-recorded. “As long as you got someone who can mix, you’ll be alright,” added the G Child.

Nice video. That’s crazy that one of the most classic hip hop songs of all time came from a closet lol.
I wonder where the unreleased explicit version of the song came from with the curse words then? Must have been recorded after the original released take.
