Warren G Says He And Nate Dogg Were Like Batman And Robin
It's been two decades since Warren G released his seminal single, "Regulate," heralding the arrival of his debut LP Regulate... G Funk Era on Def Jam. The track became an instant staple of the G Funk era, cementing Warren and his partner-in-crime Nate Dogg as go-to collaborators for the smoother side of the gangsta rap genre.
This week, Warren is re-releasing Regulate... with three new EDM remixes of the mega-hit title track—one each from Destructo & Wax Motif, Photek and Jauz—to celebrate the project's 20th anniversary. But that's not the only milestone significant for him this year; his longtime label, Def Jam, is turning 30 years old as well. With the re-release out yesterday (Dec. 9), XXL spoke to Warren G about the influence of the record, which artists today are carrying on his legacy and the importance of a person like Nate Dogg to the entire G Funk era. —Dan Rys
