R.I.P. Nate Dogg (August 19, 1969 - March 15, 2011)

Yesterday the hip-hop world lost the greatest hook man to ever grace the mic. After suffering strokes in 2007 and 2008, which had him in the hospital, Nate Dogg (real name Nathaniel D. Hale) passed away yesterday at the age of 41. Details are scarce, but it has been known for some time now that he was in bad shape.

Our thoughts and prayers go out to all of Nate Dogg's family and friends. Hit the jump for a few more classic tracks from the man himself, if for nothing else, to help you remember/reminisce about those days.
