Hip-hop star Nate Dogg, 41, has reportedly passed away after suffering from health issues for several years. Long Beach's Press Telegram was first to report the Long Beach native's death.While no details have been released as to how the smooth singer -- real name Nathaniel Hale -- died, it has been reported he suffered strokes in both 2007 and 2008.
Nate Dogg was a collaborator with hip-hop megastars including Eminem and Dr. Dre, and he is a founding member of the hip-hop group 213 with Snoop Dogg and Warren G.
Just last week, Warren G tweeted that Nate Dogg was receiving treatment. "For those that dont know awhile back nate had 2 strokes he is in therapy thanks again for your support," he tweeted. Watch some of Nate Dogg's videos after the jump.

Always a shame when anyone dies, but if this means less rap-crap in the environment, YEAEAEA!!! To suggest that this guy (who??)
had any talent, is a mis-use of the word...just like the rest of the clowns who spit the garbage out. But, RIP sir....you were only hopelessly led down the path of ignorance and nothingness.

To mediamag1,
You clearly are a prick. Nate Dogg was a legendary collaborator, and if I were you mate, I wouldn't diss Hip Hop. You might be sitting on the bus/tube one day, say something like that, and get your empty head kicked in by a bunch of angry 14 years olds. So watch your mouth. Hip Hop forever. RIP Nate Dogg.
how dare u say that to rap and hip hop!! I also think you don't even have one of his CDs or know one of his songs. I hope someone says the same thing to you when you die!!!!...
My thoughts and prayers go to him, his family, and friends.

RIP Nate Dogg. The Greatest Hook Singer of all time. "Nobody Does it Better" is the true meaning of this man's talent.

I find it humorous and totally innappropriate for people to tell others to show respect for somebody who grew up with Snoop Dogg and the likes when you know they didn't have any respect for the numerous victims of their crimes.
