Interesting what slim said. I thought dre was disrespectful putting a soundalike on lush. Dre seems like a piece of shit as a person, I've always felt that way. Seems like he doesn't give a shit about anyone except himself.

Dee Barnes agrees with u

Stalin, E-40, Knoc Turnal, Mystikal, Bow Wow, Jermaine Dupri, Diddy, Teddy Riley, Davey D, Jayo Felony, Benzino all paid homage to nate on their twitter account.

I wonder who Slim The Mobster is hinting at. Bo Roc is right, too.

First off, none of us wouldn't even know who Nate Dogg is if not for Dre. It seems kind of a bit much to label this man that harshly based off some assumptions you're making from the outside looking in. I know it's the nature of the Internet but I'm really not feeling how quickly a lot of us are going from celebrating Nate's life to just using his death as an excuse to hate.

[OG Jaydc]

I've always felt that way. You didn't hear one word from dre this whole time about Nate. And countless artists have spoken on how people give thier everything for dre in the music, but when it's time for dre to help someone else he's not around or giving a shit. Look how quickly he turned his back on game. Now he's doing the same to 50. Em makes him millions so he loves him. Take it however you want but if you can't read between the lines of what type of person dre is I can't say you can read people. The way he used a soundalike on kush was disgusting. Yes nates life should be celebrated but a lot of these industry people are snakes, and look what slim wrote. Dre never visited Nate, you don't think that would crush Nate? By all accounts from several sources Nate just gave up after being constantly depressed at how his alleged friends treated him. It's disgusting. How do you think Nate would feel when he heard kush?

This thread was just MY observation & was made 12-27-2010.
While not everyone agreed alot of people did find the "soundalike" disrespectful.

1st of all, whatever financial security nate had was due to Dre.  He gave him his first life in the industry when he signed to death row.  The he gave him his second life when he put him on 2001.  Before that album NOBODY outside of dpg fucked with him.  It was after 2001 that everybody (ludacris, fabolous, eminem, mos def, e-40, 50 cent,etc.) started to fuck with him.  Dre mentioned Nate in numerous recent interviews.  Using a Nate soundalike BECAUSE Nate couldn't even talk was a tibute to him if anything.

[OG Jaydc]

Nate was successful because of himself, not dre. And it was no tribute, it was dre just showing his ugly side. That Nate was nothing to him but a voice, a voice he can get some guy to emulate. You think dre would be friends with eminem if his first album flopped and he got dropped? Please.

His talent was his obviously, but financial success?  No.  There are a lot of talented artist out there who are unknown and broke because nobody ever cosigned them.  Dre did that with Nate.

It is true that Dre gave Nate his "start" but...that's like saying Eazy-E made Dre...not Dre's talent. While many in the biz have benefited from Dre's cosign, some have made more $$$ from it than others. The reality is that Nate helped Dre just like Dre helped Nate. If he couldn't sing no one would have wanted to work with him. I just don't believe that using a backup singer who's clearly trying hard to sound like Nate is Dre's way of paying homage. There's plenty of ways he could have...Dre chose not to.
