RIP Nate Dogg - King of Hooks

What a sad day in hip hop it is today. Nate Dogg has died at the age of 41 after suffering two previous strokes. When I heard Dr. Dre's Kush, I remember thinking how nice it would have been if Nate could have been featured more on the track instead of Akon. I want to share with you some of his collaborations that I really love. They are many but these I always loved. Don't expect to find Regulate, Area Codes or The Next Episode on this list. I love some of his work that was not necessarily mainstream. Thank you for leaving behind such a great soundtrack.

Baba baba babam, ba babam ba babam ba bababam bam

I am ashamed to say this but, my sister introduced me to my new favorite song. I cannot get enough of this song. How did it start? She kept saying "Have you not heard this song?" Then would sing "Baba baba babam, ba babam ba babam ba bababam bam" over and over and over again. How is anyone supposed to know what she's singing? This reminds me of my friend *Tiffany. She kept asking a friend of mine who deejays if he could play a song for her. She didn't know the name or the singer but all she knew was "Na na na na na". Mind you, it wasn't even in tune. I wish I had a clip of this. Do you know which songs I'm talking about?



Why is Big Boi's (of Outkast fame) debut album not out yet? Why oh why? With a title like Sir Lucious Left Foot: The Son of Chico Dusty, how can you not be curious about this. Shutterbug really stands out to me. "Royal Flush" was eeh, "Something's gotta give" was hhhmm. But after hearing "Shutterbug", I cannot wait to hear more. Boi stop! Thanks sis.

As for Tiffany's request, tell me how you could possible know she was referring to the below.
