Lt. Al Giardello Posted January 9, 2009 Report Posted January 9, 2009 My personal favorite Nate Dogg performance. One great Nate Dogg performance...
Guest Czecherbear Posted January 10, 2009 Report Posted January 10, 2009 Why is this in No Holds Barred? Too hard for the music folder?
PUT THAT DICK IN MY MOUTH! Posted January 10, 2009 Report Posted January 10, 2009 *Realizes sig line is from Juelz Santana* That's a misquote, btw.
Lord of The Curry Posted January 10, 2009 Author Report Posted January 10, 2009 The whole point of this thread was for it not to end up in this folder where it will no doubt wither away and die. 'Splain how I'm misquoting.
Guest Czecherbear Posted January 10, 2009 Report Posted January 10, 2009 The whole point of this thread was for it not to end up in this folder where it will no doubt wither away and die. Yeah, if I had kept this amidst "byron fite me u poser" and "i'm a mutant from green bay with a limp dick" then maybe we could have analyzed and discussed the 1993 Warren G/Nate Dogg hit single "Regulate" well into June 2011. Leap up my ass.
PILLS! PILLS! PILLS! Posted January 10, 2009 Report Posted January 10, 2009 Supreme Clientele you idiots. Definitely the fifth or sixth best Wu solo.
NoCalMike Posted January 11, 2009 Report Posted January 11, 2009 "Regulate" is a pretty popular song to be played during a party at my house once the alcohol has been flowing, and blunts have burning and people are looking to hear some music.
Youth N Asia Posted January 11, 2009 Report Posted January 11, 2009 The most surprising thing to me is that they ripped the opening monologue from a Western
PUT THAT DICK IN MY MOUTH! Posted January 12, 2009 Report Posted January 12, 2009 Why is that surprising?
Youth N Asia Posted January 12, 2009 Report Posted January 12, 2009 hip-hop and westerns don't tend to go hand in hand. Surprising may have not been the choice word
dubq Posted January 12, 2009 Report Posted January 12, 2009 True, I think it's less about where the sample is from and more what it's saying. Unless you're trying to tell us that you don't think that black people are fans of Westerns?
2GOLD Posted January 12, 2009 Report Posted January 12, 2009 Come on, everybody loved "Young Guns". As for rap and westerns not mixing, obviously you forget the 1988 Kool Moe Dee song "Wild Wild West". Take a western thing, turn it into a song about gangs, keep in the noise of six shooters and presto!
kkktookmybabyaway Posted January 12, 2009 Report Posted January 12, 2009 RE: Regulate. Not a bad song. Was a bit too overplayed when it came out, but that's to be expected.
Henry Spencer Posted January 12, 2009 Report Posted January 12, 2009 I will boldly claim that Ain't No Fun (If The Homies Can't Have None) is the peak of both Nate Dogg's and Warren G's respective recording careers. Regulate is good too, of course.
Edwin MacPhisto Posted January 12, 2009 Report Posted January 12, 2009 A strong counterargument, and one I can allllmost get behind. I think their respective verses on that song are better than anything they do on "Regulate," but there's something about this one being the showcase for them and them alone that makes me content to note it as the peak. This extra-smooth g-funk sound is also one of the most distinct to come off the early-mid-90s g-funk mixing boards, which suits the two of them even better than the slightly bouncier party-track feel of "Ain't No Fun."
Henry Spencer Posted January 12, 2009 Report Posted January 12, 2009 Yeah, I also think that Regulate's more storytelling oriented lyrical approach lends it a bit of dramatic heft that makes it feel more definitive. Really, though, I just think that Ain't No Fun was a career high for every single person involved.
YourKock'sReallyGreat Posted January 13, 2009 Report Posted January 13, 2009 I am suprised that nobody has mentioned that this song is on the soundtrack of Above the Rim. Which is one of my favorite guilty pleasures from 1994. Lets not forget that Above the Rim had Tupac and a young Avon Barksdale in it.
cd213 Posted January 13, 2009 Report Posted January 13, 2009 I've never been a huge rap fan, but I love this track.
