XXL Ranks Nate Dogg’s 20 Best Collaborative Performances

Before his passing Nate Dogg has blessed us with so many memorable hip-hop performances on record. XXL ranks our favorite…

Last night (March 15) one of hip-hop’s greatest hook writers and performers, Nate Dogg passed away due to complications from multiple strokes in 2007 and 2008.

The sound of the veteran crooner’s voice turned any track he was on into a more than memorable one. While he had three albums under his belt— G-Funk Classics, Vol. 1 & 2, Music and Me and Nate Dogg—the West Coast rhymer was best known for the countless collaborations he did with some of rap’s finest. From Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg to the likes of Eminem and Fabolous, the 41-year-old blessed their hard-hitting tracks with his mellow vocals. To celebrate his remarkable contributions to hip-hop, XXLMag.com ranks our 20 favorite Nate Dogg collabos. R.I.P. to a legend gone too soon.— Georgette Cline
