That album is a certified gem. If it would’ve had the right promotion, Nate Dogg album would’ve been one of death row top seller probably. But Nate still became legendary in due time without Suge.
@@reggiewright Merry Christmas Reggie. Do you have any stories about Bo Roc & the Dove Shack? Back in the mid 90’s Bo Roc’s hooks were right up there with Nate Doggs.
Yeah I remember the late 90s and early 2000s Nate was on everyone's albums, just makes you think how many more legendary tracks he would of been part of or made
@@D1Snr Snoop, Dre, Tupac and The Dog Pound. Those were were the only album releases on Death Row. To go with the Murder Was the Case and Above the Rim soundtracks.

@@reggiewrightay Reg, why is Kurupt on Art channel talking like he was still around Death Row during the time Pac was murdered? I wanna support Kurupt but that dude is starting to show himself as a liar bro. We gotta preserve the Death Row legacy not contaminate it. This sh!t not cool man😡
I remember waiting to get this Album. I had bought the “Never Leave Me Alone” cassette single. And I think it was “Sam Goody” had the release date posted and I went to go see if it was there and…. Nothing! I asked the guy at the counter about the album and he couldn’t give an answer lol I always wondered what happened. Thank you Reggie for giving us some answers to these questions!
I think a nate dogg album would've sold pretty well if they had put the 2pac tribute "why" on it and released it as a single with a video. We saw how well puffy did with "I'll be missing you"
Thank you Regg for clearing up all the back of house confusion on the last days of Death Row Records. You were there steering a sinking ship and people call you "just a security guard".
Nate Dogg’s single “Never Leave Me Alone” came out before Tha Doggfather dropped. I had the promo vinyl. Nate’s album was supposed to drop first quarter of 97. Some of the cds made it to retail and there’s proof.
the album came out officially overseas in 97 and ive heard that copies were released and then recalled in the US. very interesting history for a really great album that should've got so much more shine
I think some copies were sold in Canada for a week, then the album was pulled. The other copies I’ve seen are tapes that were only for advanced listening. The French one says release date 7th April 1997. So the album was very close to being put out.
I actually had copies of the Nate album, ie., I worked as truck driver and would dump stuff at the landfill. Sometimes I would find boxes, and bring it home. Nate album was there....
Wow. You can tell Suge burned his bridges at Interscope. Sounds like they only "tolerated" him for awhile for the posthumous 2Pac projects. They didn't even want to deal with Snoop anymore? Lol. Tha Doggfather was wack, but it still sold 2 million. Dayum. Real interesting background here. I actually bought the G-Funk Classics double discs when it came out, because I was/still am a huge Nate Dogg fan. Always wondered how that album, obviously recorded while Nate was still at Death Row, ended up on something called "Breakaway Records" alongside something called "Dogg Foundation Records," which I guess was Nate's imprint. I just remember that project getting nearly zero promotion despite having that Warren G assisted single, Nobody Does it Better, which wasn't big nationally, but is an L.A./regional classic. My question to Reggie, if you see this, why didn't ya'll just release Nate Dogg's album on Priority Records? Tha Dogg Pound wasn't under Interscope either, but ya'll took Dogg Food to Priority, where it sold 2 million copies. There was definitely a market for a Nate Dogg solo in ''97-98. I bought the Gang Related soundtrack that year, and Nate's song "These Days" with Daz seemed like it did well on radio and tv. That song and video were on Priority Records.
Merry Christmas Reg.. back in 2000 I think on the chronic 2000 cd book .. there was a death row logo with the dude getting lethal injection. Was it ever planned to change the logo?
What I don't quite understand is why it took so long for Nate's album anyway. It seems it was finished around 97-98, that's over 5 years after his debut on The Chronic and over 3 years after Regulate. Warren G already had two albums out by that time.
Appreciate this Q&A! I’ve always wondered why it wasn’t on Death Row. What happened to the pressed up Death Row version? Are they out here somewhere? Do you know about how many were pressed?
I think i've seen some copies on eBay every once a while, atleast some 10 years ago. It had the blue cover and a death row logo. Edit:Discogs says that G Funk Classics Vol.1 was indeed released but pulled off a week after its release.
Hey what’s up Reggie Thanks for info and the great interview. What’s the reason on why we can’t find “Murder was the Case Soundtrack” along with the “Gang Related Soundtrack “ on any streaming services? @Reggie Wright
whatever happened to the albums there were already pressed up like you said? did they get destroyed? Do you have any copies of the original Nate Dogg death row album Reggie?
This never made sense to me, considering Tupac was complaining about paying Nate's child support. Reggie explained why that was done but if Suge had a problem with Nate why would he care if Nate's cs was paid? I would've said "f that neggas kids, if he got paid he should've paid it himself",If had a problem with him like that.
@@melvinhhcp3615 Never Leave Me Alone came out in late 1996. I heard Nate Dogg's album in 1997. When he brought it to a radio station and they played Scared of Love, These Days, Bag O Weed. It didnt come out until 1998. When they did that G Funk Classics Vol 2 bs and released Nobody Does It Better with Warren G. In truth, Nate Dogg shouldve come out when they did the One More Day song on Murder Was The Case soundtrack or Regulate song on Above The Rim. His time was up after that....at least as a solo artist
It appears Nate Dogg was a Lone Ranger from about 98-99 with the exception of Warren G. He was doing hooks until Top Dogg, Streetz iz a Mutha, and Chronic 2001. Snoop abandoned everyone for about year once he went to No Limit and saw that new sound wasn’t going to work (Da Game is to be sold, one of my favorite albums). Nate Dog’s album was better than Daz’s album and should’ve been the focus. But, best case scenario was the album going Gold.
Gridlock'd was halfway wack. You could tell it was almost over for Death Row, because it wasn't in the same league as Above The Rim or Murder Was The Case soundtracks. Never Had A Friend Like Me by 2Pac is one of my GOAT songs in his catalogue, however. Lady Heroine, Sho Shot and that Daz solo song were all hard too.
This is just Monday morning quarterbacking, but I think that if they would’ve went hard on a Nate Dogg album after makeveli… because there was a lull… and this is the end of 96 first quarter of 97 I’m talking about… as far as promotion and putting the energy behind it it would have softened the corporate perception of death row… Even though he would’ve been singing about the same stuff they would’ve been rapping about
I never even knew Nate Dogg or Rage’s album ever came out. & I was one of the ones waiting for them back then. I’ll have to try to find them. Fucked up that Snoop making it hard for ppl to play his own music! I don’t get that shit
@Lanky Jay I respect your opinion but personally I wasn't impressed with any of nate albums in the early 2000s, I still think nate best music was when he was featured on other people's projects and his legacy starts and ends with that (if they ever put out a greatest hits album on nate 99 percent of the songs would be songs he was featured on before and solo projects)
Disagree. You didn't enjoy his verses on Regulate, Deez Nuts, Ain't No Fun, Black Mercedes, XXplosive, Oh No etc? I know those songs had features, but those are examples that he wasn't strictly a "hook singer." His best solo work were b-side records, not singles.
It's amazing how Reggie can remember things so many years ago especially in detail, I can't remember things anymore I guess maybe it's my age & fried brain cells...much props OG Reggie
Happy Christmas Reg 🎄 Do you think Suge burned too many bridges or Nate Dogg had no regulate on his album ? If Interscope thought there was a massive hit then they would have distributed the album ? I think the Nate Dogg album is good but no real hits. He is a great artist but 3 verses of Nate dogg is too much for one song. Two verses and one rap verse is good.
Most rap labels skip over the HOOK men and women's albums. Lack of vision, promotion and willing to invest. Rage and Nate would have brought the bag certainly $1.2 to balance the $300k. The ARTIST are under contract and can't really PR themself. Bless Nate for hustling inspite of the crapola.
@@reggiewright Merry Christmas Mr Reggie were you satisfied the way they portray you on a Netflix series The mannerism was on point but what about the character and the details
Nate was a Master of Hooks and could lay your Chorus down in mere minutes!!! But... As far as a complete album or even mixtape from Nate? I just don't see how it could work unless it is a compilation album and you either invest a lot of money or you have many many artists jump on as a favor or out of Love for Nate, I could see what I could companies struggling to profit off of it and not wanting to release it though it's sad because the fans and listeners go without but that is just the Game of America, on a small scale, sadly... The Americans simply only invest in certain people and that is usually based on the favors you do for that or what you could do for them or whether or not you could turn a profit but these people do not stand on values and morals so they hardly ever do what's right for the artist and consumer
Reggie if Suge wouldn’t have gone to prison in 96 do you think death row would’ve still have distribution through Interscope ? Or would the music industry start black balling suge like they did in the 2000’s.

@reggiewright I have a few questions and comments. 1)So suge basically did "release" the death rowalbum and made good money with it?? And thats why it says in the booklet "recorded at can am studios" (not dogg foundation like disc 2 lol) which was basically a hint that yall were involved??? But nobody knew about that deal back then. Thats crazy. But The fans wanted the logo or suge on the record....til this day....... and Nate got his freedom and yall lost the rights to a possible greatest hits album later like with snoop, dre etc (ok the money and signed off rights were good) 2) about the snoop deal with P: How much was the deal worth? Did yall get paid one time or through album sales or songs or all of it. He was a superstar worth so much for Master p: Can you explain the details in short form? 3) why did suge have Publishing on 2 Kuruption Tracks? Were this death Row songs or just because of Daz Production?? 4) Daz did some guest appearances in 97/98. Were yall paid for them ?? 5) no idea if yall can legally talk about that but was suge involved in the Wideawake deal and albums?? Thanks
That album could have saved Death Row for another few years. Never Leave Me Alone was a big hit. Although Snoop had already left so he probably wouldn’t have helped promote the single anyway.
Is it a coincidence that aftermath started in 1998 the year death row fell off is this the same thing jay z did to all the hot rappers in New York he went from roc a fella to ceo of Def jam

But nobody knew about that deal back then. Thats crazy. But The fans wanted the logo or suge on the record....til this day....... and Nate got his freedom and yall lost the rights to a possible greatest hits album later like with snoop, dre etc (ok the money and signed off rights were good)
2) about the snoop deal with P: How much was the deal worth? Did yall get paid one time or through album sales or songs or all of it. He was a superstar worth so much for Master p: Can you explain the details in short form?
3) why did suge have Publishing on 2 Kuruption Tracks? Were this death Row songs or just because of Daz Production??
4) Daz did some guest appearances in 97/98. Were yall paid for them ??
5) no idea if yall can legally talk about that but was suge involved in the Wideawake deal and albums??
Thanks
I always wonder what Daz Album would have been like.
The DR side went hard af. The other side was terrible lmaooooooo.
I never liked singing in hiphop unless it's Nate Dogg! RIP DPG 4 Life
That album could have saved Death Row for another few years. Never Leave Me Alone was a big hit. Although Snoop had already left so he probably wouldn’t have helped promote the single anyway.
Had to be October ‘97.
@@reggiewright What’s good, Reg! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and your family! Have a good one. 💯
Merry xmas reg
Is it a coincidence that aftermath started in 1998 the year death row fell off is this the same thing jay z did to all the hot rappers in New York he went from roc a fella to ceo of Def jam
Nate dogg❤❤❤❤❤❤
Nate Dogg, definitely the king of hooks.
I think you misspoken Reggie snoop first album on the tank came out august 4th 1998 it must have been 97 that you're talking about
These are some really high level business classes
Informative
Nate is a good guest artist on other artist's songs/albums, but to have a album where he is the feature artist, wouldn't work.
Reggie always looking like he’s about to shit on someone 😂 my guy
