(From Music & Me album; 2001)
Every now and then I go through Nate Dogg's albums to try and find another solo song as good as I Got Love and every time it proves to be a fruitless search. The Captain Hook of Rap deserved better beats and/or more space to do his own damn thing on his own damn songs.
Really doe, how did the sanger who brought a golf club to a fist fight not get blessed with one of those vintage Death Row-era Dre productions for himself?
Bink is a very underrated producer.
ReplyDeleteone more day is his best track
ReplyDeleteI Got Love jams harder.
ReplyDeleteOne More Day has the annoying bird doing backing vocals. Ain't nobody else needs to sing on a Nate Dogg song.
I absolutely forgot about that Nate Dogg fight video. Glorious.
ReplyDeleteMight be the peak of the Death Row vs. Ruthless beef.
ReplyDeletewas recently thinking the same thing about the lack of decent Nate solo joints. What would've been good was an album around 94-96 with Snoop, Nate, Daz, Kurupt & Rage. Kind of like all the posse cuts on Doggystyle
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely.
ReplyDeleteCrazy visions, boom: what if Keep Their Heads Ringing was a solo Nate Dogg track? He woulda killed that beat/hook/concept.
"why" from the gridlock'd ost is another 10/10 solo nate cut. these days goes too
ReplyDeleteThese Days is disqualified because Daz raps on there.
ReplyDeleteStrictly solo Nate songs only.
I like both of Nates albums but I agree theres to many guests on them some one of his caliber doesn't need a lot of guests. The Hardest Man in Town is a choice Nate solo cut.
ReplyDeleteI miss this guy.
ReplyDeleteDont know why Nate didn't have Quik produce an album for him. also this actually might be my favorite Nate hook and would've loved to hear a solo version of the song https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-DjPsjol1Xg
ReplyDeleteYeah. As the saying goes, he floated on that one.
ReplyDeleteIs "i Got " better than "nobody does is Better?" on a tangential note, kinda like that Nate feature on Ms Jade "Dead Wrong" - actually in review his feature is kinda low key.
ReplyDeleteI think it's his best song, period, yes.
ReplyDeleteHeard Ronson on HHSML recently and he said Ooh Wee was much bigger in Europe than the US which seems insane. How is Ghostface & Nate Dogg on a track not a certy 10/10 banger?
ReplyDeleteThe curse of Saigon?
ReplyDeleteJust seen on twitter it would have been Nate Dogg's 50th birthday today.
ReplyDelete😕
ReplyDeletei don't even remember a bird on one more day
ReplyDeleteShe does the "hey yaaaay yayyyyyy yeah" backing vox throughout.
ReplyDeleteI always fucked with that "Keep It Coming" track off Need for Speed Underground, but that ain't a solo cut.
ReplyDeleteohhh yeah there she is, damn
ReplyDeletei think as a cali rap fan i just filter birds out, otherwise i turn the volume down in traffic
this singing talk got me thinking about d-dubb (from siccmade) and i'll be damned, a new video with only 300 views, come on now

Wtf @ that guy in the wheelchair
ReplyDeleteSaw mark ronson on Gogglebox yday lol
ReplyDeleteAre ooh wee, stocking cap n the colour purple the only Saigon jawnzes that hold up?
ReplyDeleteI like Letter P remix and Lames.
ReplyDeleteI'd like to add Repurcussions and Out There to that list.
ReplyDeleteAs for the topic at hand, I got love reigns supreme. Concrete Streets is another solo classic.
Me & My Homies and Nobody Does It Better are just great collabos that I've probably listened to more than anything else mentioned here.
