30 Day Song Challenge: Day 4 - A Song That Makes You Sad

Warren G feat. Nate Dogg
Regulate

Now don't get me wrong, this song is bad-ass but what with the recent events of Nate Dogg's passing, I've been blasting this tune out harder than Arnie in a Nazi factory. A true classic "old-skool" hip-hop stonker, back when the genre was awesome, when hip-hop was still FUN GODDAMMIT!

To me, this song marks the end of an era, a final parting gift perhaps, that says a fond farewell to the golden age before ushering in the new wave of Hip Hop that would focus primarily on irreverent vanity projects and infantile delusions of money, leaving the music to suffer as the consequence.

The music, of course is set to the backing of Michael McDonald's "I Keep Forgetting" which in itself is a stonewall groove-fist to the stomach, with the added panache of the late Nate Dogg's pipes that leak liquid chocolate onto every thing it touches. Only an idiot could put these two things together and NOT make this an uber-ouasif hit.

Ever wanted to know what it would look like if Zach Galifianakis wandered into Frasier's apartment and started knocking out a tune? THEN WANDER NO MORE:
