One of the pioneers of the West Coast's g-funk sound has passed away.
According to the Long Beach Press-Telegram, 41-year old Nathanial Hale aka Nate Dogg has died from complications from multiple strokes..
The singer had suffered 2 strokes in the last several years. Last year Warren G made a video plea to fans asking for financial support for Nate.
Nate came into the game during the Death Row Records era with Snoop Dogg, Warren G and Tha Dogg Pound. Although he had several solo albums Nate will be most remembered for singing hooks and ushering the g-funk era when he and Warren-G dropped "Regulate".

Rihanna found a way to turn a horrible situation into a positive and she's more than willing to talk about it.
In the new issue of Vogue, Riri rehashes the Chris Brown assault situation, saying it gave he music an edge.
"It actually gave me a lot of liberation. What I mean is, I was able to tap into the personal part of my music. I started to tell stories through my music that were actually my stories.
"My album before that, there was still a little bit of protection, there was still an innocence to me. And what that time in my life did was kind of wake people up - it's not all a bed of roses. My life is like yours.
"It made me look at the world in a much bigger way because my life was suddenly superduper magnified; all eyes were on me. I needed that in my life to know how to say, 'F**k off!' To know how to keep my head high even in the worst of situations. I keep using the word unapologetic, but there's a freedom that has come with all of that. Where you feel like you don't have to make an excuse for being yourself."
In other Rihanna news, the singer has been rumored to be on a list of singers/actresses for 'The Bodyguard' remake.

For a man who just pulled his career back from the brink of oblivion with mixtapes, the chance to drop a brand new official album must be a good feeling.
It's a feeling Chris Brown plans to hold onto all of 2011.
The 21-year old announced yesterday (March 14) at a listening party in L.A. that he would be putting out 2 'F.A.M.E.' albums this year according to The Boombox
"[This] is the first part of the 'F.A.M.E.' album," Chris announced. "I'm coming out with another album six months later."
A lot of artists attempt to put out 2 albums in one year, but it's difficult task on a major label. I think Chris's sequel disc will hinge on how the initial cd does retail wise.
'F.A.M.E.' 1 drops March 22

Rihanna creates an event no matter where she is. So here we check her out leaving Giorgio Baldi in Santa Monica. Ca yesterday (February 13).
Looking a bit buzzed or perhaps tired, the singer showed lots of cleavage as she walked to her vehicle outside one of her favorite restaurants.
What do you think of RiRi's curly do?
