Family and friends including superstar rappers Snoop Dogg, Warren G and The Game braved rainy weather to say their goodbyes to West Coast hip-hop star Nate Dogg.
About 2,000 people, including several hundred fans gathered yesterday in Long Beach, California to pay their respects to the 41-year-old musician whose birth name was Nathaniel Dwayne Hale.
As Nate Dogg’s loved ones gathered at the Queen Mary Dome, a popular cruise ship terminal, a white hearse arrived carrying the late musician’s body.
Nate Dogg started his career with Snoop and Warren G in the early 1990s as a rap trio in Long Beach called 213… and they released a new album in 2004.
Nate helped pioneer the G-funk or gangsta-funk, genre of hip-hop which samples funk music with singing, multi-layered melodic synthesizers and heavy bass.
