    Most ppl thought (including myself) that Nate Dogg was doin the hook but it's really Craig David imitating Nate Dogg wich is insane and so dope ! Love this sample flip too, might be one of Preems craziest flips !

    When I first saw the floppy I thought “ You forgot to add Nate Dogg!”
    Wow, I had no clue it was not him. To this day I am a huge Craig David fan. “Born To Do It” is a classic front to back. Remixes were big back then and I remember downloading anything and everything I could of Craig David’s from Kazaa.
    This video is much appreciated as is the rest of the channel.

    I remember first hearing the intro to this and thinking "Nate Dogg got a cold or something?" Like, I wanted to believe it was him so bad, but deep down I always knew. After a while I just accepted that it wasn't, but that didn't take anything away from how good this song was. My girl always loved the original and I just put her on to the remix like a year or two ago and she was blown away. I miss those days.
