Early life [link]

Nate Dogg was born in Clarksdale, Mississippi. He moved to Long Beach, California when he was 14 following his parents' divorce. He was the friend and partner in the rap game with rappers Snoop Dogg, Warren G, RBX, Daz Dillinger and was the cousin of Butch Cassidy and Lil' ½ Dead. He began singing as a child in the New Hope Baptist Church in Long Beach and Life Line Baptist Church in Clarksdale, Mississippi where his father Daniel Lee Hale was pastor. At the age of 16 he dropped out of high school in Long Beach and left home to join the United States Marine Corps,[4] serving for three years.

Career [link]

Early career with 213 [link]

In 1990, Nate Dogg and Snoop Dogg,[5] and their friend Warren G, formed a rap trio called 213. 213 recorded their first demo in the back of the famed V.I.P. record store in Long Beach, the demo was later heard by Dr. Dre at a house party and he was instantly hooked on the soulful voice of Nate.[6]

Solo career [link]

Nate Dogg made his debut on The Chronic. Singing in what later become his trademark style, he was well-received by fans and critics alike, and would go on to sign with Death Row Records in 1993. Nate Dogg was also featured on Mista Grimm's "Indosmoke" with Warren G. Then in 1994 he produced his first hit single "Regulate" with Warren G. Nate Dogg was also featured in many Tupac releases, including his collaboration record Thug Life: Volume I. Then in 1998 after a tumultuous time at Death Row Records he released another album. The double album was titled G-Funk Classics Vol. 1 & 2 and was followed up in late 2001 with Music & Me on Elektra Records. Music & Me peaked at number three on the Billboard hip-hop charts in 2001.[7] After a number of delays and an original release date of April 2004, his self-titled album was released under the Affiliated Entertainment Group on June 3, 2008.[citation needed]

Television appearances [link]

In 2002, Nate Dogg and Isaiah Mendez appeared on a celebrity episode of the Weakest Link, making it to the last three players before being eliminated by Xzibit and Young MC.[8]

Collaborations with other artists [link]

Nate found success, not only in solo projects, but in collaborations with other hip-hop artists. In the 2000s, Nate's high-ranking collaborative singles, according to Rolling Stone, includes Dr. Dre's "The Next Episode," Mos Def's "Oh No," Fabolous' "Can't Deny It," Ludacris' "Area Codes," 50 Cent's "21 Questions," Mark Ronson's "Ooh Wee," Houston's "I Like That," Eminem's "'Till I Collapse" and "Shake That", and Mobb Deep's "Have a Party."[9]

Legal issues [link]

In the early 1990s, Hale was charged with two separate robberies, Check Changers robbery in 1991 and robbery of a San Pedro Taco Bell in 1994.[10][11] He faced a maximum of nearly eleven years in prison,[12] but he was subsequently acquitted of both charges.[11][12]

In 1996, Hale was convicted of a drug-related offense in Los Angeles County.[13]

On June 17, 2000, Hale was alleged to have kidnapped and assaulted his former girlfriend and set her mother's car on fire in Lakewood. He was arrested by a SWAT team at his home in Pomona. He was accused of kidnapping, domestic violence, making terrorist threats and arson.[14] He spent a night in the Twin Towers Correctional Facility in Los Angeles before he was released on a $1 million bail.[15] These charges were later dismissed, but Hale faced jail time for a new charge, illegal possession of a firearm by felon. An unmarked firearm was found in his home during the June 17 arrest.[13] Hale pleaded no contest to the misdemeanor charge, and was sentenced to probation of three years and ordered to pay a $1,000 fine.[16]

On April 12, 2002, Hale was stopped by Arizona Department of Public Safety officers outside of Kingman, Arizona while traveling on a tour bus. He was arrested and charged with firearms-related and drug-related offenses after two pistols and four ounces of cannabis were found. Hale was booked on Mohave County Jail and subsequently released on a $3,500 bond.[17] Weapon charges against him were dropped as an exchange to guilty plea to drug possession charge. Hale was subsequently sentenced to probation and community service. He was also ordered to attend drug counseling sessions in May 2002.[18]

In 2006, Hale was charged with misdemeanor aggravated trespassing, telephone harassment, battery assault, dissuading a witness from reporting a crime and violation of a restraining order. In March 2008, Hale pleaded guilty to trespassing and battery and was ordered to complete a domestic violence treatment program, probation of three years, and was stripped of gun ownership rights for the next ten years.[19]

In July 2008, Hale was charged with two felony criminal threats after allegedly sending threatening emails to his estranged wife,[20] and one count of stalking after allegedly chasing her by car on Interstate 405 in previous month.[21] Hale initially pleaded not guilty to these charges,[21] which were eventually dropped in April 2009, because the alleged victim did not contact prosecutors in the case.[20]

Additionally, Hale has a conviction of driving under the influence.[21]

Strokes and death [link]

On December 19, 2007, Nate Dogg suffered a stroke, according to a coordinator for his recently formed gospel choir, Innate Praise.[22] Reports had circulated that Nate Dogg had been admitted to Pomona Valley Hospital Medical Center in Pomona, California after suffering a heart attack. Erica Beckwith, however, confirmed to MTV News that Nate Dogg was released on December 26 after being treated for a stroke and was admitted to a medical rehabilitation facility to assist him in his recovery. On January 18, 2008, it was officially reported that the stroke had rendered the left side of his body paralyzed. Doctors believed there would be a full recovery, and his voice was not affected. In September 2008, he suffered a second stroke.[23] Nate Dogg died March 15, 2011 in Long Beach, California. On March 17, his attorney Mark Geragos confirmed that the cause of the death was from complications of multiple strokes.[3]

    Let's see who come out on top
    Let's see who REALLY want they name in the streets
    Let's see who wanna die the same time as me
    and make ends meet
    Now was I, blessed with a gift, or cursed with a curse?
    I follow, hearse after hearse, with verse after verse
    And I'll be damned if I let Billy dance Dupri
    Or anybody swing an axe at my family tree, so now
    [Nate Dogg]
    I love it when you niggaz be talkin, sayin my name
    Seems like your mouth is not connected to your brain
    Two-zero-zero-three, and shit, it ain't the same

    Put your nuts on the table, my nigga let's play the
    game
    Hurt you so long, you be addicted to pain
    I don't wanna hear what you meant, do not explain
    Right before you lay in your coffin, hoe say my name
    [Xzibit]
    Why do you hate me? (Hate me) I came from nothin
    Blood sweat and tears, you did not create me
    How can you doubt me? (Doubt me) You don't know shit
    about me
    There'd be no West coast without me
    Cut with the bullshit (Bullshit) I struggle for
    survival
    And now you tryin to act like my rival?
    Watch what you say partner, it's a small earth
    Don't play games with your life nigga, it's not worth
    all the pain (all the pain) all the agony (all the
    agony)
    All the horror (all the horrow) all the tragedy (all
    the tragedy)
    Put your hands up people, it's time to fight now
    I beat holes in your chest, remain hostile
    Threaten my life? (C'mon!) One day you'll understand
    They say that pride is the sign of a foolish man
    So who the FUCK?! (Who the FUCK?!) you think you talkin

    [Eminem]
    I never really smashed on Jermaine's ass, Dre smashed
    Nobody ganged up 'til he came back and jacked him
    I never really brought it to his ass, I tapped him
    I coulda been like Treach, boom-bapped and slapped him
    purple, for mimickin him with two rappin Urkels
    I coulda snapped, took it past rap and hurt you
    But I didn't, I kept it on wax and served you
    I "Square Dance" cause I'm sick of rappin circles
    around these clowns, stready tryin to call me out
    It's like I'm listenin to motherfuckin dogs meow
    You'd probably do better tryin to come and stomp me out
    You don't want it with rap, this is what I'm all about
    - c'mon
    (I) No gangsta you ain't either
    (Will) But I know that I spit "Ether"
    (Not) I shoulda crossed your belly
    (Lose) Show you I'm not R. Kelly
    X, pass me the weed, I'ma put my ashes out on his ass
    For the last time man.. {*scratched* - "Watch your
    fuckin mouth"}
    [Nate Dogg]
