So sad, his death got overshadowed by everything happening in Japan.

We can use this thread to post our favorite songs that he did or was featured in.

I will start out with this one first

I love Mark Ronson and this is probably my favorite song with him complimented with some smooth Nate Dogg Hook

Let's not forget about this classic

how can the death of one man be overshadowed by one of the largest earthquakes to ever hit, a nuclear crisis that threatens an entire nation, and a rising death toll?

to be blunt, who the fuck cares about a b-list musician whose only significant claim to fame was riding shotgun for his infinitely-more-talented counterparts?

This is after all a music forum, the Earthquake and Nuclear crises is clearly a devastating event, nobody's denying that. It will certainly keep getting coverage in the media... but dont use it to belittle somebody's death... Shameful and outragious!

:nono:

I think you're overlooking the one word he emphasised. No one persons death overshadows a disaster like the one in Japan.

Equally as devastating? Are you serious?

It's sad.. I know he had a few strokes from 2007-2008, but 41 is very young. R.I.P.

Hip-hop rapper and singer Nate Dogg has passed away at age 41.

The West Coast artist had consistently struggled with serious health problems since a stroke paralyzed his left side in late December 2007. Nine months later, he suffered another stroke.

Toward the end of his life, Nate spent a considerable amount of time in medical rehab facilities undergoing physical therapy in an effort to get his mobility back.

Born Nathaniel D. Hale on August 19, 1969, in Long Beach, Calif., Nate began singing in the church where his father was a pastor.

He left home at 16, dropping out of high school to join the Marine Corps, where he served for three years. At 21, he hooked up with Snoop Dogg and Warren G in the rap trio 213.

Nate signed with Death Row Records in 1993. His first hit single, "Regulate," dropped in 1994.

Nate would go on to be featured on several Tupac Shakur records before signing with Elektra. The four-time Grammy nominee had his fair share of troubles, having been arrested on drug and weapons charges in 2002, but he will best be remembered for his contributions to and collaborations on over 40 hit singles between 1991 and 2011.

He died Tuesday, March 15 in his home town of Long Beach, Calif.

I think the comment made by djchameleon is very insensitive towards the people in Japan. Personally the deaths of tens of thousands of people due to one of the biggest earthquakes of all time is a little more important than the death of one singer and I don't care how legendary he is. That is where I stand on the matter.
