Music Post: Sweet Blog, RIP Nate Dogg

Quick music post.

First, I found a sweet music blog you'll all enjoy: http://westlacnct.com/ It's got remixes and mini-reviews of said remixes - I recommend finding the Passion Pit Remix of Bruno Mars' current single "Grenade".

Second, Nate Dogg passed away at the age of 41. Here's a quick link to better understand the impact Nate Dogg had on hip-hop: Nate Dogg: Thank Him Now

In honor of Nate Dogg, I am listening to G-Funk Classics, Vol. 1 today. G-Funk Classics is Nate Dogg's debut album originally set for release in 1996, at the height of the gangster rap boom. Because of some issues at Death Row Records, the album was not actually released until 1998, and thus, despite it's genius, was destined to mediocre sales and a tepid reception at best. (Side Note: There is a Vol. 2, but I don't have it.)

Anyway, you all know where to find G-Funk Classics, Vol. 1 if you're up for honoring his memory. I highly recommend it - it's a walk down the proverbial memory lane for one of the most innovative hip-hop artists of our time.
