Warren G & Nate Dogg’s Beat Came From Yacht Rock

MUSIC THAT MATTERS – “Lyric of the Day”

(Music Cut #1)

By March 21st of 1994…

Warren G and Nate Dogg’s
“Regulate”

was taking over radio.

(Music Cut #2)

That smooth, laid-back groove –

instantly recognizable.

All built on a yacht rock sample.

(Music Cut #3 of “I Keep Forgettin’)

Michael McDonald’s

“I Keep Forgettin’ (Every Time You’re Near)”

A soft rock song

from the early ’80s—

was turned into one of the defining sounds

of West Coast hip-hop.

(Music Cut #4 – back to a cut of “Regulate”)

LYRIC OF THE DAY:
“Earn your keep
Regulators, mount up.” – Warren G & Nate Dogg
