RIP NATE DOGG

Since Nate Dogg's passing, I’ve been thinking about what made him special. He wasn’t a great rapper. He didn’t seem to sing; It was more like singing/talking but maybe that is what made him special. Nate didn’t fit into a box. Yet, he managed to etch himself in our minds. If you sung along to Regulator, chances are you couldn’t wait til his part came up.

It’s unfortunate that he ran into so much adversity personally but it’s a reminder that we must take better care of ourselves. Go to the doctor. Exercise. Eat right. We don’t like to hear these things and we put off doing them. If we continue to avoid doing right by ourselves, our bodies will fail on us.

RIP Nate.
