http://bit.ly/eBd8wT - Click to Subscribe to ClevverMusic! Rapper Nate Dogg dies at 41, I've got the unfortunate news next on Clevver Music. Hey everyone I'm Brian Corsetti for Clevver Music. Sadly, after years of battling deteriorating health, rapper and LBC native Nate Dogg (whose real name was Nathaniel Hale) passed away at the age of 41. No exact cause of death was immediately released when the family announced his death to the Long Beach Press Telegram, though the rapper suffered two massive strokes in recent years, one in 2007 which left him partially paralyzed, and another in 2008. Nate Dogg was a four-time Grammy nominee and a major participant in the West Coast G-Funk sound, contributing memorable and chart-topping hooks to hits spanning the past two decades. He started with legendary producer Dr. Dre on the album The Chronic. He went on to add his smooth, laid-back sound to Warren G's "Regulate," Dre and Snoop Dogg's "The Next Episode," Ludacris' "Area Codes" and Eminem's "Shake That." His most recent solo album, Nate Dogg, was released in 2008. Longtime friend Snoop Dogg was the first to publicly mourn the loss by taking to his twitter page and saying "I love u buddy luv." On a happier note, who remembers The Regulators!!!! Give me some flash back to the past in the comments below to give respect for a Hip Hop Legend. I'm Brian Corsetti for Clever Music, and I'll see you next time! HOLD UP!
