What a track

Sixteen in the clip and one in the hole
Nate Dogg is about to make some bodies turn cold
Now they droppin' an' yellin', it's a tad bit late
Nate Dogg and Warren G had to regulate.

I laid all them bustas down, I let my gat explode
Now I'm switching my mind back into freak mode
…

Warren G, Regulate

It's utter genius, even today. Hearing Nate Dogg say “it's a tad bit late” is worth the price of admission alone. Though I do urge Warren G to abandon (in hindsight, obviously) “G-funk” — the rhythm is not the bass, and the bass is not the treble.
