I'm sad to see that Nathaniel D. Hale, AKA Nate Dogg died. He wasn't really a rapper, but he sung these simple, catchy, narrative hooks that suggested he was actually just forced into hip-hop because he was born into the wrong decade (via PostBourgie).
He also had one of the best sleepy-eyed ice grills of all time. One of the few hip-hop artists who could really give the impression that making prolonged eye contact with him would be a bad idea.
