Lord of The Curry 0 Report post Posted January 9, 2009 This song is fucking awesome. Nate Dogg's best performance. Liberal usage of words you don't hear in rap anymore like "busta" and "sucka". If you don't love this song you are a horrible person. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Czecherbear Report post Posted January 9, 2009 No, it's just a lyric. I've liked this song a lot, ever since I was a wee lad, but just because it sounds cooler than 99% of the rap songs out there. It's good storytelling, I guess, but the brilliance of the song is in the melodies. Even Warren G's rapping is kind of melodic in an abstract way. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Edwin MacPhisto 0 Report post Posted January 9, 2009 Pretty much the best, yeah. The only time I've ever heard it disparaged was by a curmudgeonly-beyond-his-years late-20s New Yorker, whose accent was thick and puzzled as he queried, "What is this? Sounds like a negro talking over some smooth jazz." Also, marking the second time this has been embedded on the board in a day's time: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

foleyfanforever88 0 Report post Posted January 9, 2009 Regulate is my favorite rap song ever. Considering how little I listen to rap compared to other music, it's also worth noting that this song is among my top 10 most played songs on iTunes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dubq 0 Report post Posted January 9, 2009 G Funk Era is probably my favourite hip hop album next to Dre's Chronic and the Digable Planets' Blowout Comb. I think I wore that CD out in high school. Good shit, right there! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lord of The Curry 0 Report post Posted January 9, 2009 I was hesitant to start this thread as I got knocked pretty hard in the poster tourney first round by some people because apparently I have race-confusion issues. *Realizes avatar quote is from Wu-Tang* *Realizes sig line is from Juelz Santana* Hmmmmmmm....

Black Lushus 0 Report post Posted January 9, 2009 The Chronic still holds up well to this day...might just be nostalgia talking. Ice Cube's Death Certificate (once you get past the fact that he's talking about almost two decade old issues) and Enter the Wu both do as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dubq 0 Report post Posted January 9, 2009 My favourite Wu-related album has to be GZA's Liquid Swords. If I had to go with core Wu-Tang.. then definitely Enter the Wu-Tang. Oh, and: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6x5Olen_1co Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Flamboyance 0 Report post Posted January 9, 2009 I recently saw GZA perform Liquid Swords in its entirety. It was a great show. I live in Staten Island, so it's natural for me to love Wu Tang, I guess. Anyway, as for Regulate, I like most songs featuring Nate Dogg. That guy was the coolest.

Lord of The Curry 0 Report post Posted January 9, 2009 Ironman would probably round out the top five but I wouldn't put it above any of the ones listed. Pro Tools, IMO got slept on in 2008. I think too many people wanted Liquid Swords II. "Paper Plate" is a fucking fabulous diss track. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Obi Chris Kenobi 0 Report post Posted January 9, 2009 As a dumb white kid from the UK who's music genre didn't develop till he was about 13 and someone put The Best of Queen casette tape on one day, this was my first taste of 'rap'. I loved it, thought it was awesome, but generally the experience I've had when I tell people I like it is; 'Typical'. It does seem to be that people who really listen to a lot of rap seem to love this song, and those that listen to loads of rap hate it since its been stolen by those that don't really care for the genre over all. I do like 80s Funk though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gary Floyd 0 Report post Posted January 9, 2009 Only Built 4 Cuban Linx is my favorite Wu solo, with Liquid Swords coming in at second and Fishscale at third. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

FroGG_NeaL 0 Report post Posted January 9, 2009 One of the most perfect songs ever. This is G-funk at it's finest. Nate Dogg used to be the hook king, but dude's voice has detiriated the past few years. He still brings it sometimes, but back in the day Nate was the most melodic person in rap. Warren G put out a good album about a year and a half or so ago. Return of the g-funk or some shit. But yeah, Regulate. Brilliant peice of work right thurr.
