'Regulate' rapper Nate Dogg dead at 41;
Rose to fame with Snoop Dogg, Warren G, Dr. Dre

Nate Dogg, whose smooth voice added a soft touch to some of the biggest rap hits to come out of the West Coast, has died. He was 41.
The cause of death was not immediately announced, but the lyricist, born Nathaniel Dwayne Hale, had suffered two serious strokes in recent years.
Hale made his first waves in hip-hop in 1991 as part of the rap trio 213 with Warren G and Snoop Dogg and later rose to fame as a guest vocalist on Dr. Dre's mega-hit, "The Chronic."
But he was best known for the hook he provided on the 1994 hit song "Regulate," with Warren G.

King of the hooks. Instant recognizable voice. I think anyone who loves hip hop like I do probably has at least one song on their mp3 player with Nate on it. RIP
