Initially it might come as a surprise to you to see a post about this sad news on an Arabic music website….however think again and you’ll realise that it is not that unusual…and this is for TWO main reasons!

Firstly, music is music…and when massive news about music comes across (good or bad) we have the right to cover it!

And secondly, considering that Nate Dogg is one of the original creators and pioneers of the infamous G-Funk style of the ever so popular Hip Hop genre, and considering the number of Arabic producers who inspire from G-Funk (Tooma, Tarek Madkour, Hani Yaa'koub and Hadi Sharara to name a few) then this is definitely something we need to touch upon!

The sad news of the passing of Nate Dogg in the early hours of this morning has had a negative effect on each and everyone of us who appreciates music!

This genius has been around since the golden age of Hip Hop, worked with the greatest such as Snoop Dogg, Dr.Dre, 2pac and more…and is recognised as THE ULTIMATE Hooks man for Hip Hop songs by being featured in more than 500 of them!

As I said above, we shall sadly cry his departure but celebrate his music and his success to the max!

I shall leave you with one of his most amazing choruses on the Dr.Dre produced phenomenal instrumental, “The Set Up”…Released in 2003!

REST IN PEACE NATE DOGG…We love you and will very sadly miss you SIR!
