09. Regulate – Warren G featuring Nate Dogg (1994)
Warren G never really replicated the success of “Regulate,” but when you release a song as smooth as this one, you have nowhere to go but down. The tale of one night of debauchery, for some reason, is a set of lyrics memorized perfectly to this day in the heads of many listeners. When “the rhythm is the bass and the bass is the treble,” you nearly assure yourself a spot in the Top 10.
notable lyrics:
It was a clear black night, a clear white moon
Warren G was on the streets, trying to consume
Chords
Strings
We brings
Melody
G-Funk
where rhythm is life
and life is rhythm
If you know like I know
you don’t wanna step to this
It’s the G-Funk era
funked out with a gangsta twist
if you smoke like I smoke
then you high like everyday
and if your ass is a buster
213 will regulate
