Warren G – My House ft Nate Dogg
Last week the ‘G Child’ Warren G announced that he would be releasing a follow up to his 1994 debut album Regulate… G Funk Era. What was most exciting about the announcement was the fact that the late Nate Dogg would appear on the album by the way of some unreleased vocals recorded before his passing back in 2011. The news sent fans like myself into overjoy as we have been anxiously waiting to hear some new vocals from the man with the golden voice, because lets face it there must be some unreleased stuff locked up in the vaults.
Now just a few days after announcing the album, Warren G has dropped its first cut and of course it features none other than the one and only Nate Dogg however; it doesn’t sound like the Nate Dogg I remember. The track which is titled My House, has a dope 90’s style beat to it with some killer verses from Warren G but when it comes to Nate Dogg’s hook I’m left scratching my head wandering if this is in fact the G Funk king. A constant loop of Nate saying the word ‘my’ in a higher pitch than usual is used as the hook which to be honest is a major let down. As the hook ends we get close to hearing that voice we are all used to when Nate sings ‘In the middle of the street’ but even still it doesn’t sound quite right.
The song takes some strong samples from both Mr Fingers’ Can You Feel It and also Madness’ Our House which can be heard in the hook. Whilst there was no mention of exactly how many songs Nate Dogg will feature on we can only hope that this is not the only one. I’m not saying the song is bad I actually think its dope however; its not exactly the Nate Dogg feature I was expecting. The EP is expected to drop in the coming months, keep an ear out for what is sure to be another G Funk spectacular. Listen to My House below!
