As we continue mourning the loss of Nate Dogg, Dubcnn is back with a new edition of the “Remembering Nate Dogg” series. Today, we caught up with Long Beach pioneer and founder of the LBC Crew, Big C-Style. He shares some old memories and talks about his favorite Nate Dogg jam.
Big C-Style: “Nate Dogg was a good friend of mine, we go back from us being kids out there on the block. Him coming home from the service, me and him would hang out, sing a couple of tunes together off a little thunderbird but we never knew that either one of us was going to be involved in the music game like that and we ended being in the music game together and shared a lot of good times. We went around the world together, Japan and different places all over the world. He’s a truly good friend of mine and im going to truly miss him.
Nate Dogg as an artist was a great person. He had a talent and sound that nobody else had. Him and Bo Roc used to go back and forth, who was taking each others style cause both of them from Long Beach and both grew up together so they both were singing and used to challenge each other at singing. Other than that Nate was a person that worked hard at his craft and he was good at what he did and he been doing it forever and he was a great person to work with. Like i said, he did a lot of good things with us and we did a lot of good things around the world.
[On his Favorite Nate Dogg song] I like so many of them, but one of them was the one off the Gang Related soundtrack, “These Days”. That was one of my favorites!
Nate had been sick for a long time, what happened to him caught all of us off guard. We were surprised at what happened to him and now that Nate Dogg passed i see a lot of people reaching out and talking about “R.I.P Nate Dogg” and “what can we do” and it was kind of sad to me that he had been in that condition so many years man and I never heard from nobody asking nothing about Nate Dogg but a couple of few chosen folks. Its just kind of crazy to me and I wish that Nate Dogg rest in peace and go on to his next journey. “
