Tha hell happened to all that Nate Dogg musick?

Unfortunately, releasing nonmainstream posthumous music just isn't a profitable venture in these times.  Sample clearances, mixing, mastering, etc is expensive.  The estate isn't going to do anything that isn't going to make them money at the end of the day.  Majority of it will most likely sit unreleased forever.  Best case scenario is that mainstream artists like Dre or Snoop might pay the estate to buy a hook or two. 

2Pac's estate is in the same boat.  Same with Bad Azz, Biggie, Eazy E, etc.  Estates don't care about legacies or are going to release music at a loss just to appease fans who will most likely download it for free.  Estates are there to do what is the most financially prudent for the inheritance of the estate, and sinking hundreds of thousands of dollars into a venture to release music isn't it.

Mixing and mastering isn't expensive in 2024 bro. Idk about sample clearances but you don't need to have sampled music. Technology is so high that sampling songs is really obsolete. If Nate does have sampled music and clearing cost is the issue, you simply place his vocals over a new track without samples.

lol sure....

it cost more money to market an album than the money u make off streaming

and hard copies barely sell nowadays

most money made off music comes via touring.....and nate aint touring any time soon

thats just facts

Not if you market it as memorabilia or collectables. We had this discussion a while back.

You don't know the full potential of the music business that's all. You know making an album, throwing it on streaming, shooting one or two videos and doing some interviews. It's deeper than that.

So Snoop has his catalog of over five hundred songs. I was under the impression that he had a few hundred unreleased songs but it sounds like released and unreleased.

Limited Edition Nate Dogg merch is not doing big numbers in 2024 young’n

there’s a niche fanbase that will buy it, of course .. but in order for it to
do big numbers you would need to put big money behind promoting it

that’s just facts

And how many people would pay 30.00 or 40.00 for a Nate Dogg collectable record or CD?  Probably not even 100 people on this board, you're talking maaaybe a couple thousand worldwide.  Not worth it for the estate to do that.

That's because you are looking this from the standpoint of a west coast fan. I'm looking at it from the perspective of creating something that will increase in value over time. The same reason why people collect baseball cards. It is an investment.

There's definitely a market for new Nate Dogg music and hopefully one day there will be a posthumous album released from him to do his legacy justice.

Either a solo album or more likely updated collaborations with artists he either did or would most likely have worked with like the track on Ventura with Anderson .Paak which I thought was really done well.

If this was released physically with let's say 10-20,000 pressings and was priced at above average we on here would all snap it up and no doubt it would sell out.

By the way, I didn't know that '6 in the Morning' track was popping like that in the UK since I don't listen to the radio, I don't know where the OG vocal is from but it's cool to hear Nate Dogg over a house beat and it works really well.

They used a sample from Gangsta Walk - @ 1:23 onwards:

I'm sick of hearing it on the radio. It didn't get in the top 10, but it's one of those ones that has been playing a lot on various stations, and it's not the only one. It prompted that PAWSA track using the exact same sample, and that too is a pain in the ass, especially when driving, as it has the silly phone ringing on it. But in terms of accolades, it's a great feat to see Nate's voice being put onto 2 tracks like this.

He has a unique voice that can be utilised on more tracks like this. If they get another song or 2 like that, then they should certainly consider putting out a project. Both stations - BBC 1Xtra and Kisstory have also played the Warren G / Nate Regulate remix w / Michael McDonald from time to time, and I heard it as recently as this year. I think a Greatest Hits type album would work well, if they include that Regulate remix, along with the original, Nobody Does It Better, Get Up, and also include Gangsta Walk since it has been recently sampled. Probably have to be creative with a lot of the vocal that's been used on other tracks. The momentum might be there, but would be a gamble
