Title: Warren G plans Nate Dogg tribute album

The hip-hop veteran preps new album for late friend.

Of all the friends, fans and collaborators Nate Dogg touched over the years, perhaps none are as strongly associated with the late hip-hop star’s early career as Warren G. Together, the two friends from Long Beach rose to prominence in the mid-'90s on signature G-funk anthems like "Indo Smoke" and "Regulate." After mourning Nate at a memorial service this past weekend in their hometown, Warren took a moment to chat with BET.com about the loss of his friend and plans to carry on Nate’s legacy.

"I've been really, really hurt, but I felt a lot better because he ain’t suffering no more," Warren says of his emotions following Nate’s death on March 15 after years of battling myriad health issues. "It was messing me up knowing what he was going through, but now he's in a better place.”

The West Coast rap veteran says the duo recorded several unreleased songs together over the years, and he plans to put those tracks on a new collaboration album as a tribute to the fallen singer. The project will likely feature guest spots from various big-name rappers.

"We've got a lot of songs we did,” he says. "They're really great songs. It's gonna trip people out how dope he is."

Though Warren believes this tribute album should be viewed as the definitive musical commemorative for his deceased homie, he appreciates everyone in the hip hop community who has paid homage to his friend. In previous interviews Warren had expressed anger with some of the musical tributes that came out soon after Nate’s passing.

"I was upset at some other artists who were trying to do tributes before we could get around to paying our proper respects, but I was just emotional," he confesses. "I said some crazy things and I didn’t mean that. I wanna send a shout-out to every artist and DJ who showed love to Nate Dogg. Much love to them. It really does mean a lot. That’s real."

Surely hip hop has more than enough love to spread around for Nate Dogg.

"The world lost a truly soulful artist," Warren says. "It ain't no hit if Nate Dogg ain't on it. That was our motto."



Good news. Especially if Warren produces the majority of the album. And you know the profit of the album would go to Nate's family. Warren do it!!  8) 8)

I'm wondering if these are the tracks that they were considering making another 213 album with.  A Nate and Warren duet album would be sick, but it would be nice if they were able to pull off the tribute and another 213 project.

Was he referring to The Game and Ya Boy when he talked about artists sprinting to release tribute tracks?? Game sprinted and released that Michael Jackson tribute with Chris Brown and Diddy.  I wonder why he's mad and if these are the artists he's mad about?  "Hey Game, someone just died....now HURRRY UP and RUN TO THE STUDIO so we get THE FIRST TRIBUTE TRACK PLAYED" j/k

Loving the West, I'd feel the exact same fucken way! Thing is, Nate also loved & went East & South so?

How bout makin this shit the ULTIMATE tribute & somethin fans will actually wanna buy not just d/l, feel me? So how bout a double, BI-COASTAL album, the way Kurupt did it? CD1 EXCLUSIVELY West Coast
CD2 for the rest? (unless there's enough quality material to make it 3CD's with CD2 East Coast & CD3 Down South?)

& Add to that a Nate Dogg DVD to make it the REAL DEAL!

How bout THAT?

If there isnt enough material to make a 213 album you can forget about a double album, no matter how dope it would be.
I also heard Nate went on some soulful shit, or what genre did his sister talk about?

what's that now with "Not enough material" all of a sudden?!

Warren wants to make an album which means there's enough.

1-2 years ago, Snoop and Warren wanted to do a 213 album in tribute to Nate while he was still sick ... so how can there be "not enough" all of a sudden just because ONE dude here said so?

I'm saying there's not enough material to make a double album or three disc album.. Its not just because of this guy but I've heard this before.

all those producers he worked with over the years must have more than just one or two tracks with original nate vocals.

I don´t know its just how I think.. shit don´t think I don´t wanna hear a real dope double album of Nate Dogg again, but even before his strokes he wasn´t really releasing a shitload of albums or whatever, just the occasional hook and adlibs.
It will either go one way or the other, and I prefer just 1 hot album to honor his death rather than getting all Tupac on him.

Kind of shows you how they missed a good opportunity to put out a real classic 213 album, rather than the one we got. People say it's good, but it could have been ten times better without outside influence

I'd love to hear a Warren G & Nate Dogg collabo album. I hope this gonna happen. If Warren wants "big-name rappers" featured on the album, he should get the people that worked with Nate Dogg in the past and not some rappers that are popular this year.

theres enuff material for at least 4 or 5 Nate Dogg-albums

dont forget, 213 recorded like 35-40 songs for "The hard way"-abum
various deathrow-songs

add to that, all the other numerous protools-vocals that producers have on their computers

Nate used to do hooks and bridges on various instruemntals
Fredwreck has plenty

sure, I agree.
however, the thing with his limited solo output might simply be due to the fact that labels wanted him only for his hooks. he had his elektra album ready and done and they didn't put it out - instead, they threw it out the window on their website as a free download. so I wouldn't really take the limited solo releases as a sign.

Im just sayin what i've learned reading what artists have said about Nate Dogg material they got, and what other people on that board said (i believe in their sources). Warren said he got some material, but it wasnt like he got plenty of it, he said he got some beats with Nate hooks with them. Tho im kinda confused with what he told BET, that he got 'a lot' of songs they've done together. Warren never seemed like a reliable source to me (no offense to him, but he talks a lot of shit), i guess he can make that tribute album, but not sure about 2nd 213 one.

It should be just one album, music that Warren G has that was finished or close to finished would be dope. And I agree that the features should stay in the fam. Snoop, The Dogg Pound, Warren, etc. and the same goes for the production. This album needs to be done as a tribute to Nate Dogg, to support his family and also for his fans that were down with Nate's music since day one. The last thing that we need is a tribute album full of features that don't fit, production that don't fit, auto tune b.s.; basically things that Nate wouldn't have done himself. Imo that's what's killed a lot of the Tupac albums that came out after his death, people have just done what they've wanted with them without taking into consideration what his music really sounded like, who he really worked with production and feature wise; seems like they were so caught up in whether or not they could that they never stopped to think about if the should and the results speak for themselves. I'm not saying that this will happen to this Nate Dogg album, I have all the confidence that Warren will do it right, for Nate, for his fam. and for his fans but I'm just saying that who ever messes with Nate's old material for this album or any future albums needs to be carefull so it doesn't turn into a Tupac situation where even his die hard fans aren't feeling it.

Well, i agree, that this album should be done, mostly by the DPG, but maybe with some features from people Nate had great collabos with.

I just hope Eminem wont be there screamin all over the track.. that would be tragic, killing probably a smooth album (which i guess will be like other Nate material)

2Pac flowed over the production of his time, and worked with popular artists of his time. And not just rappers, but R&B singers as well. Do you really think if he were alive and putting out albums today he would still be rapping over 90s beats? And only working with artists who haven't had a career in years? LMAO.

Yeah, i know, at first i thought, that i'd be good to hear somebody like Em on Nate tribute album. But when i imagine him screamin the shit out of him like on INAD, i scrapped that thought. I really dont feel his new flow along with his whole new style. I know how he would be screamin on an album like this, and i really wouldnt like to hear that.

obviously not, the point is that Pac didn't write or record his vocals with those modern beats in mind, he did it to those "played out gangsta beats" from the 90s. remixed with modern styles it sounds like shit and that's why people are mad. that's the whole issue with the pac situation.

Nate Dogg said to Julio G that he had a personal vault. If you add all the stuff he recorded with producers like Dre, Damizza, Fredwreck etc, plus artists like Shade Sheist, Knoc etc that claim having Nate Dogg hooks, plus the DR material, plus the 213 leftovers, you have material for 10 albums if you want. Now it's up to the people in charge to release proper Nate albums.

Post by: B.A. on March 30, 2011, 05:06:33 PM
Imo the music needs to be made to fit Nate Dogg and not the other way around. I remeber hearing a track on Tupac "Loyal to the Game", were his vocals were stretched and pitched to fit the beat. It was obvious that the producer wasn't thinking about making a beat around the vocals, he had a beat he wanted to show of so he mangled Pac's vocals to fit. That's an extreme case but still, the music shouldn't sound forced and Nate Dogg should sound as natural on it as possible and if that means having some of the production sound like some classic G-funk then so be it (I'm sure long-time Nate Dogg fans wouldn't mind that one bit and would actually prefer it over today's production sound, I know I would). If the album includes features that are out of the the DPG fam. they should make sense, for example putting Ludacris on would work, they did "Area Codes" which was a big hit so it make sense. But like I said, I'm sure Warren knows what he's doing.

I'd love to hear a Warren G & Nate Dogg collabo album. I hope this gonna happen. If Warren wants "big-name rappers" featured on the album, he should get the people that worked with Nate Dogg in the past and not some rappers that are popular this year.

I'm sure that he knows what to do better than you.

I sure hope he does Elano.

It should be just one album, music that Warren G has that was finished or close to finished would be dope. And I agree that the features should stay in the fam. Snoop, The Dogg Pound, Warren, etc. and the same goes for the production. This album needs to be done as a tribute to Nate Dogg, to support his family and also for his fans that were down with Nate's music since day one. The last thing that we need is a tribute album full of features that don't fit, production that don't fit, auto tune b.s.; basically things that Nate wouldn't have done himself. Imo that's what's killed a lot of the Tupac albums that came out after his death, people have just done what they've wanted with them without taking into consideration what his music really sounded like, who he really worked with production and feature wise; seems like they were so caught up in whether or not they could that they never stopped to think about if the should and the results speak for themselves. I'm not saying that this will happen to this Nate Dogg album, I have all the confidence that Warren will do it right, for Nate, for his fam. and for his fans but I'm just saying that who ever messes with Nate's old material for this album or any future albums needs to be carefull so it doesn't turn into a Tupac situation where even his die hard fans aren't feeling it.

I agree for the most part.  If you really want the album to help the family out monetarily, then it needs to be extended outside of just the DPG.  The westcoast fans will eat it up, but it may not make the dent in sales that it could if the collaborations were broadened.

Artists like Ludacris, Eminem, 50 Cent/G-Unit, Fabolous, Jadakiss, Obie Trice, Redman, etc. have worked with him numerous times during his career.  There are a couple that I don't really care for, but I wouldn't much of a problem if they ended up on a record.  I'd be pretty disappointed if Drake, Lil Wayne, Nicki Minaj, or some of the other new flavors of the month ended up on the record, but as you said, Warren will more than likely do it justice.

2Pac flowed over the production of his time, and worked with popular artists of his time. And not just rappers, but R&B singers as well. Do you really think if he were alive and putting out albums today he would still be rapping over 90s beats? And only working with artists who haven't had a career in years? LMAO.

obviously not, the point is that Pac didn't write or record his vocals with those modern beats in mind, he did it to those "played out gangsta beats" from the 90s. remixed with modern styles it sounds like shit and that's why people are mad. that's the whole issue with the pac situation.

???

Flow isn't specific to a certain style of beat. A certain tempo yes.

sure it is. you can't just put vocals with a very melodic flow over any type of beat. you'd have to match the same kind of atmospheric vibe of the original to make the vocals work.

i tell u one thing, ill take those played out gangsta beats anyday to these bullshyt beats these days..you have to grow up in that era to really understand it homie, which you obviously didnt.... ;)

Let me tell you one thing. You totally misunderstood my whole comment. I was poking fun at Spice Two because he made a comment about "played out 90s gangsta music" or something like that in another thread. Thing is, I'll gladly take those old beats over todays synth crap any day, as well! Why? Cause I grew up in that era ...with that sound :-)

Wasn't so obvious now, was it? :)

Now you're confusing style with atmosphere. So which one do you mean?

What, you think Pac would be rapping like a parakeet over today's beats? lmao. Look at Nas. His flow hasn't changed significantly since the 90s, but the nigga's rocking new beats. Ain't Game accused of biting Pac's flow in a bunch of songs? Yet he's rocking over modern beats.

I'm saying there's not enough material to make a double album or three disc album.. Its not just because of this guy but I've heard this before.

Actually, according to Dae One and Knoc-Turn'Al there is a lot of unreleased Nate Dogg songs in the vaults.

Nate Dogg said to Julio G that he had a personal vault. If you add all the stuff he recorded with producers like Dre, Damizza, Fredwreck etc, plus artists like Shade Sheist, Knoc etc that claim having Nate Dogg hooks, plus the DR material, plus the 213 leftovers, you have material for 10 albums if you want. Now it's up to the people in charge to release proper Nate albums.

what if the vocals he had in his vault are the same ones that Dre and other producers have???
It's all speculations.... and the fact is you have no fucking idea if there's material for 1 or 10 albums... peace

don't forget about the thing called copyrights. even if there's a lot of material it doesn't mean it will be easy to release it. It would be dope tho...

It's not speculations since it's based on what NATE DOGG himself said + what producers and artists say. Have you even listened to Nate Dogg's interview with Julio G ?? When he talks about Pac and how he created his own vault as Pac did, so people keep releasing his music after he passed. And if you were more familiar with Nate you would know that he was always recording music, to express his feelings, as he did after the 09/11 attack. Of course i am not telling you the exact number of albums they would be able to release 8 or 10 or 20 albums,  I am just telling that there are a lot of unreleased Nate Dogg vocals.

When you do know such vault exists but you have no idea how many songs it contains (and don't even know shit about the quality) and then you try to guess how many albums they are able to make out of it - it's indeed speculation in its pure form. No disrespect tho... imo there is no sense in arguing on how many albums they should do when you have no idea about what's in the vault. Let's just wait for the album

no speculation, dude


213 recorded like 35-40 songs for the first 213-album. Fredwreck used to sell hooks for Nate Dogg, to various artists. Nate recorded all the time..
deathrow-shit (theres a list wit existing nate songs from teh court docuemtns),
warren g & fredwreck have unused protools-sessions
nate himself said he tried to record as much as possible, just like 2pac did (like mistaRosa said) - indicates that theres alot of shit
plus not to mention, unreleased nate songs (wit diff artists)

theres material for at least 5 or 6 albums - and thats a good thing  8)
but i used to think myself that his catalogue was limited, parently thats not the case tho - alot of shit just wasnt releaased

ok sounds quite real. Still sounds like a speculations tho lol (some of you say it's 2 albums, some 5, some 10). Well don't take it seriously... ;)

Anyway, I hope we will hear these songs some day. Looks like too many people keep their hands on this vault... I hope they won't fuck it up...

Some people say 5/10 albums and any other number they can guess to what they believe may be solid tracks.

What people don't realise sometimes is that artists re-use and re-cycle a lot of their verses, and vocals from the archives when working with other artists, and even when doing other songs - They may use 1 verse from a song in the vault, or use the entire lyrics to an almost near-identical state and that right there limits the total amount of tracks right there release-worthy. Then there's the content, and topic, the possibility of damage, and deletion... Files on a computer from pro tools sessions? Can be prone to viruses, and anything else if no alternative "good quality" backups have been made. 

There's a lot of speculation on this thread. Producers are also very good at stating they “done a gang of songs together”, and “worked for days non stop in the studio” with an artist when time finally reveals that only a handful of tracks were ever done, and that all these imaginary “20” tracks don’t really exist. Producers also tend to class different mixes, and different vocal layers as individual tracks, so 3 tracks with an artist can ultimately mean for the public – just the 1.

Yes. Plus they expect every single song to be bangers. If they recorded 40 songs for 213 obviously the unreleased songs were put off for some reason.. Not to say all unreleased shit is wack though
