Sail on Nate Dogg

[popcornjack]

I'm sure few here will know (or for that matter, care) but Nate Dogg died March 15th at the age of 41. Best known for his hit "Regulate" with Warren G, he appeared on numerous other songs. A full obit, featuring links to a couple of his songs (including regulate) can be found here.

and, oh yeah, let me put this in big letters: VERY EXPLICIT LANGUAGE!!!!! WATCH AT YOUR OWN DISCRETION.

Personally, my favorite Nate Dogg collaboration was with Eminem on the song "Shake that a$$"

Sail on Nate...

I was into Death Row back in the day.
I remember he had health scare a year or so back.
Too young to go.
RIP

Very Sad. I liked him. I agree with the Eminem colab.

Indeed, RIP Nate Dogg. It brought up a question among my peers as to the intended lyrics in the radio edit of "Ho's in different area codes" collaboration with Ludacris though. I've fully maintained that instead of "I've got Pros," perhaps the intended meaning was "Prose." The whole conversation lead to this fabulous piece of translation by my sister:

"I say to thee brethren of my neighborhood, gather 'round me as I have a saucy gospel to impart. Here it commences... I pride myself on my contract services with ladies of c...orporeal licentiousness in various geographical locations demarcated by short numerical sequences. It's veracity cannot be challenged, oh yay, and I say to you once again and will Continue until the tune falters... I possess these professional poppets..."

I just thought that was worth sharing...

I don't care who you are. That's funny.

Without further ado, I present the full Ludacris featuring Nate Dogg Area Codes translation:
Opening: I say to thee brethren of my neighborhood; gather 'round me as I have a saucy gospel to impart. Here it commences...

I pride myself on my contract services with ladies of corporeal licentiousness in various geographical locations demarcated by short numerical sequences. Its veracity cannot be challenged, oh yay, I say to you once again and will continue until the tune falters…

Verse the First:

Heretofore you have mistakenly been under the misapprehension that I was just verbalizing, that is incorrect.

In the IV, O, IV, I am known as the global acquisition. Eschew your ignorance of this knowledge.

It is I, the quite disagreeable harlot-taker
I am traveling globally to deliver this postal mail to you
My local penis dealer-in-opiates (What could that possibly mean ludacris gentleman?)

VII-I-VIIIs, II-O-IIs

I deliver to the towns, grottoes, valleys and dale, that I am in arrears to thou

IX-O-I, it’s axiomatic, III-O-V

I will descend from my steed and we can rendezvous out-of-doors
So control your vapors and keep thy bustle tightly woven
Until such time as I can seal the portal and I am currently practicing sexual intercourse with you

III-I-IIs, III-I-IIIs, oh my heavens, II-I-Vs, VIII-O-tannenbaum, oh my!

Ponder thy astrological fortune and partake of my Hors d'oeuvres
X to my noble steeds, these strumpets appear to serve themselves!

VII-V-VII, IV-I-Os, telegrams aplenty!

[Chorus]

Henceforth, every day shall be a whore celebration
So cease thy skirmish and hold your blade, I declare we mount a volley on these tarts as we would do for migratory waterfowl <--- My favorite part
V-O-IV, IX-VII-IIs

VII-I-III, I inquire as to your intentions?

I observe that you scrutinize our mutual society; I propose to inspect a sporting lady this evening.
What say thou to an oblique and murderous assault in my carriage?

III-I-IV, II-O-I, Amen!

An abundance of ducats, an abundance of amusement!
Won’t you hear the dulcet melody of my canine cohort, Nathan, Requiescat in pace, my brother?

Are they enamored with my hoodlum customs? (Hoodlum customs….ohh….)
Are they bemused by my felonious dialect? (English m'effer, dost thou speak it?)
Are they all atitter for my fetching visage? (I’m a 18th century Apollo Belvedere…)
Are they beguiled by my illicit behaviors? (Illicit behaviors….ohhh…..)

I search my mind for the cause, but it escapes me however they adore it.

They, too, won’t let me abide….
I manage my affairs well, yet they hurry me at every encounter
Slacken thy pulse, wenches, I must have my freedom….
Yet when I hearken to thee, be hasty tartlet

II-I-II, or II-I-III

You are aware that I can sham thee, so drop thy ruse
'For bitches, you know that I am emancipated

[Chorus]

IX-I-VI, IV-I-V,VII-0-IV

My felicitations to the II-O-VI
All female souls in the VIII-O-VIII
I chuckle, II-I-VI, VII-O-II, IV-I-IV…
III-I-VII, II-I-IV, as well as the II-VIII-Is,

VIII-O-IV, IV-O-II, III-O-O-I…
