Snoop Dogg - Ain't No Fun (If the Homies Can' Have None)



Yesterday (March.15th/2011), we said farewell to Singer/Rap and R&B Icon Nate Dogg; who at the age of 41, died from medical complications related to his recent strokes.
If you grew up listening to 90's Rap and HipHop like I did, losing Nate Dogg probably means something to you...
For me, it was all about a few Movements within Rap and Hip-Hop (during the 90's): The WU, B.I.G, and Deathrow Records. Deathrow was crazy; Dre, Snoop, Pac, DPG & Nate Dogg...
The first time I heard Nate Dogg kill a track had to be Snoop's "Ain't no Fun"...I was in sixth grade, and 'Doggystyle" had just dropped (1993).
Sidenote: to this day, "Doggystyle" remains one of the top Albums ever. I can play that album from front to back, back to front, or shuffled any which way-classic.
Anyways, as I was saying...
Listening to "Ain't no Fun (if the Homies can't have non)" for the first time was when I really took note of Nate Dogg...honestly, how many joints is Nate Dogg essential on?
Off the top of my head I can think of numerous classics:
"Ain't no Fun"
"Regulators"
'Let's Play House"
"The Next Episode"
"Bitch Please"
"Lay Low"
"Area Codes"
'Oh No"
So many Bangers, so many Classics.
It's a sad day for alot of people...not only for the Westcoast, not only for Rap and HipHop, but for those who enjoy soulful music and appreciate talented-passion.
R.I.P Nate Dogg

Thanks for the timeless memories.
