Dang Nate Dogg,
You had a long stretch indeed. To some not long enough but you made history. The Hip-Hop Hall of Fame and to me in this life that is all that counts. You made your mark and it has been successfully calculated and counted. My dear homey Nate please do forget about us here. Be sure to give Pac & BiGGs my love and make sure you keep inspiring the new successors down here from where ever you may be because at this rate; with all our talent dropping left & right, Hip Hop as we know right now is super sick and totally on its way to death. You are in our prayers, thoughts & most importantly our souls-through music
