Nate Dogg passed away early this morning at the age of 41. His sing-song style punctuated a number of tracks in my youth, and no one has ever duplicated him as an artist (although many have imitated). A unique, irreplaceable voice. You will be missed.
I decided to feature this Obie Trice cut today featuring him because everybody and their cousin has posted “Regulate” already (including me, on Facebook here). Thanks to Chris Hasbrook for reminding me how much I love this song!
This one is for the wifey…
I fondly remember listening to Cornershop cassettes in our old car, back when we first started dating. Awww, I’m such a sap.
Check out their new album, now streaming in its entirety, right over here.
I guess the rest of you can go check it out too…
Here is some contact info for how you can help the people of Japan and others effected by the devastating earthquakes and tsunamis today:
Red Cross – www.redcross.org
Center for International Disaster Information – www.cidi.org
Direct Relief International – www.directrelief.org
And below is a scattershot list I found at www.appleseeds.com. Sorry for the formatting, but I thought it was more better to just get the list out there, so I’m not really concerned so much about it being pretty.
Contact the US State Department 1-888-407-4747 or 202-647-5225 for inquiries on US citizens living/traveling in Japan.
Dear “real” news anchors:
How the hell are you guys missing this stuff?
