Y’all gotta do ‘Crossroads’ by Bone thugs-n- harmony! Thats one of the biggest hip hop songs of the 90’s and quite frankly of all time. It broke The Beatles record for fastest selling single in music history
Can we give them a Grammy? The quality time spent to reacting to music as father and son is priceless. I wish i could do this with my father.. I cant wait for the next video! Stay Blessed 🙏🏾
FYI: Snoop Dogg and Warren G were best friends growing up (or at least during high school). Dr. Dre and Warren G were step brothers, and Warren G actually introduced Snoop Dogg to Dr. Dre.
The young gunna explaining G Funk is why hip hop should be a class! Hearing him do these breakdowns and techniques is refreshing man..double entendre, similes, methohors, etc can all be found in hip hop even til the day!
There are hip-hop classes at some of the colleges out here in the San Francisco Bay Area. The ones I know about talk about the history and culture of hip hop and the related social issues of that era and how it relates to our social issues now.
Yes, he knows his stuff! His dad knows some of his sounds too! This is so great because it shows how our culture and music can bring THE WORLD together! WOW 💚💚
The song choices, the analysis, the open mindedness, the father-son duo! This is wholesome content that we need today & why your channel has grown so quickly
“213 will regulate” is a double entendre. 213 is in fact the group Warren G, Nate Dogg and Snoop were in as Kai stated but also, the area code (Los Angeles) in which they all grew up. I loved the fact your dad recognized Ice Cube had a similar sound and story. It’s because they’re all from the same place, living the same lives. Craps, cruising’ and girls were a big thing in LA in the nineties. This video made this Cali girl feel all nostalgic☺️
before autotune, there was nate dogg. my father died a few weeks ago, and watching your videos, how you and your father listen to hip hop and discuss about is just beatiful.
just lost my mom too now... like six weeks ago.... count your blessings, g. i hope you still got your moms at least. love on the people who mean the most to you. they could be gone tomorrow. you never know...
I totally agree, he is absolutely charming and also funny without even realising, the ice tea comment made me chuckle a few times ( I would certainly do the same) the dynamics work so well, the son is so informative and knowledgeable and he's dad really engaging and interested... it just works beautifully... I kept wanting to sing the line " I keep forgetting I'm not in love anymore" and then realised it was a Micheal Macdonald track... ( I love that track too) ...
I enjoy these videos because I feel like a lot of people who are much older never gave this type of music a chance when they where younger or was a fan of a different genre. Now that they are older they are open minded to all types of music, so now we can all enjoy it together.
I'm 38 now and I feel stupid for not giving some genres of music a chance - especially hip hop/rap. I listened to the real popular stuff and I remember seeing/hearing some stuff on MTV but it never connected. Then...I don't know...something happened in the last few years for me. Hearing new songs, stories/meaning behind them, the history and back ground of the artists....just have a lot of respect and love for it now. Late to the game but enjoying it.
I love how knowledgeable the son is of music before his time. He seems young but is super wise of so much. 90's music and hip hop is legendary so this is amazing to witness to see generations before and after learning and experiencing the greatness and appreciating it 🤩
I agree man. Got much love for all his knowledge. 1 note though: Snoop Dogg was in the same group as Nate Dogg AND Warren G called "213". Not just Nate Dogg
Tell your dad he's so dope, I like his enthusiasm about this whole thing, I wished I had a father like him when I was younger, I just didn't have a father at all. Tell your dad he's a good dude
Good choice. I'm surprised your Dad doesn't recognize the main sample. Michael McDonald's I Keep Forgettin' (Every Time You're Near) A huge hit from 1982.
the sample was from the 70s, Michael McDonald's "I Keep Forgetting". they used to play a mash up Regulator Remix on the radio. its such a great song overall, both the original Michael McDonald song and this one, but my favorite is the mashup.
I love these guys! They just became my favorite reactors! I was waiting on the dad to see if he recognizes the sample, Michael MacDonald’s “I Keep Forgettin”
This is the sweetest thing ever! ❤ Watching a father and son spending quality time together, and the son teaching his dad about music he listens to. PRICELESS 🥰
Father and Son sharing their common passion for music is priceless. The sheer amount of time you spend together doing these videos is absolutely magic, and you will both cherish those moments forever!
OMG! I love that Kai's explaining the song like it's a movie. lol This is so cool. So glad I found you guys. Brining back so many good memories from back in the day. At some point I stopped listening to commercial radio. After 2005 ish....it was OVER.
You can easily just say that Warren is rapping and Nate actually singing! Nate, Warren, and Snoop had a group called 213 (LA’s area code) before their careers took off.
I'm so glad I found you guys. The relaxed and genuine vibe is very calming. You also discuss these classics in a way that makes me find new reasons to appreciate them. I love the bond you guys have. As someone who didn't really have a supportive nuclear family I am comforted just watching you all talk. Thank you for sharing with us! 💜
The entrance to Regulate is from the Motion Picture Young Guns. When he says “Regulators, we Regulate any stealing of his property, we’re damn good too. Ya gotta be handy with the steel if ya know what I mean. Earn ya keep.” It was a movie about Billy The Kid. Billy is introduced to a group of men working for a farmer, they are basically laborers, but they also make sure no one steals from their boss. They then later become an Outlaw Gang when their boss is murdered. The song sample is from Michael McDonald’s “I Keep Forgetting”
I can't believe that Pops didn't realize immediately that this was a sample of I KEEP FORGETTING by Michael McDonald. He became famous as the lead singer for the Doobie Brothers.
I have owned 3 copies of this album in my life since tape cassette. G Funk Era is an important part of my life. Thanks gentlemen for paying this respect.
Wow I love you and your dad bonding together listening to music. Your dad is very intelligent and humble man. I love how he nails every little detail to the song. I am officially will be subscribing to your channel. Keep up the good work.
As a big music lover with eccentric taste in music my Dad that raised me encouraged us to listen to everything. I grew up at the end of 8tracks and tapes my first two CD’s were CCR and NWA two totally different styles of music. I appreciate that you and your dad do this, I would have loved to get to sit down with mine and let him find his own appreciation in the music I listen/listened to. Out of all the music reaction videos this is the most tasteful, wholesome and honest channels I watch. With that being said I’m soooo glad you did this reaction, this is my single most favorite song of all time! Thank you guys, keep it up!
I’ve never subscribed faster in my life. The dynamic between you guys is incredible. Btw “213 will regulate” I believe means we’re (warren g & Nate dogg) from Los Angeles & us or other people from this area will regulate if you’re a buster. (213 is an area code for a part of LA)
Yes 213 is a LA area code and you have to remember cling your area code is an important hip hop technique. This was during the Cali/NYC hip hop riffs. Claiming your clique was always important and even more so during this time.
My fav song from my high school days. White convertible, freezing weather, top down, windows up 🤣....listened to this song like 20 times today. Thank you guys!
Shout from Aotearoa( New Zealand),i enjoy hearing you're guys perspective aswell as the way you two connect,very cool in my books,Much love from down Under
I love every song that you have selected to show your dad and also really love your knowledge on the background/context of each song that even someone like me that’s heard the song a million times lol is getting new context. thanks for sharing the love you have of music especially hip hop with your dad and the YT world 🤍
Great job guys for analyzing these tracks...and appreciating the music, love how the dad is open and knowledge about music and instruments, by the way 213 is the trio group that nate Dogg, Warren g and snoop dog was in, it is the erea code for long beach
@@bymrbest906 I was born and raised in Long Beach. 213, 310 was for both Long Beach and L.A. L.A is now 323 and 424 and Long Beach is now 562. 909 is Riverside/San Bernardino County area.
This channel is going to be HUGE!!! I absolutely love it. I’ve never heard rap and/or some of my favorite songs every explained in this manner. You can tell the duo knows SO much about music in general. They must be true students of the art of music and the terminology they use really describe everything perfectly.
I always loved the way they were able to take Michael McDonalds beat from “I keep forgetting” and incorporate it into this song, much like 2 pac changes using Bruce Hornsby “the way it is” beat. Just flows so perfectly
I love how open your dad is to trying new songs and how well you not only articulate how you feel about the lyrics but also about all the elements of the actual music.
You and your dad seem like such solid guys. Love your dad's openness to everything. To see him bob his head, seems like he can love and appreciate all types of music. Genuinely enjoy watching your videos, keep it up!
213 also refers to the area code that they all came from. So in a way, Nate Dogg is saying our hood, our area will regulate. They’re paying homage to their home area as well 🙏🏽💙 Rest in Paradise Nate Dogg the Great Dogg 💙 Edited addition : it’s became a staple soundtrack to all folks from that area. It reflects our attitude and vibe that we carry when we walk the streets of our area, or just being from that area in general 🙏🏽
Definitely RIP to Nate Dogg. 213 was the area code in Long Beach in the early 90s. In this particular lyric 213 is the group that Nate Dogg, Snoop Dogg and Warren G were a part of.
@@infamous5921 Nate Dogg was born in Long Beach CA and sang at New Hope Baptist Church in Long Beach on the corner of Mew York and Anaheim. Yes his father was a Pastor and he did also live in Mississippi.
213 is also a group with Nate Dogg warren g and snoop. So I always took it as them referring to themselves and not the entire hood. Especially since this song is just about them and not their boys
This is one of my favorite. Nate Dogg was considered the ghetto Opra Singer when he let this rap out. Love Dads' reaction to this. Hats off to you guys. You all should react to Back to the Hotel. Defense a must listen to. God's speed. 💞
If I may provide some recommendations: - Nas - If I ruled the world Immortal Technique - Dance with the Devil Kanye West - Through the Wire Jay Z - Song Cry Notorious B.I.G - Sky is the Limit
Im an oldschool hip-hop head from Denmark / Europe. Started listening to hiphop in 1983 (im 52 YO) and I think I know a pretty good deal about hip-hop. I love your videos so much. Its so wonderful that you can have this thing with your dad (your dad is SO cool). I wish I had the same opportunity back then. Some times I experience that you have some blank spots in your hip-hop story, and I understand that, because your ar young. But most of the time you are very correct, and I really admire your knowledge. Its fantastic. Giv us more :-)
Thank you for the kind words :) since most of the music we have listened to so far came out before I was born, and I didn’t live the stories they tell, it is sometimes hard for me to get the context correct. But I’m glad that viewers fill me in on it when I miss something. Thanks for watching ❤️
Just seeing you with your dad and bonding over music and him being able to give that insight of music from his generations and how our generation takes those samples and make new music with it is truly phenomenal love yalls relationship
I share this same connection with my dad for the love of old school hip hop and seeing you and your dad allows me to relate to you guys. Keep up the great work!
Important to note, 213 is an area in the LA area, which is where these guys are from, so in addition to them referencing their other group, it's also them representing where they're from. A classic track!
New subbie over here. This and your video on Tupac's Dear Mama song sealed the deal for me. You guys are just genuinely wholesome and just enjoying the music. Glad RUclips recommended your channel to me. 💙
I promise you I heard this song a million times and I didn’t realize what they were talking /singing about!!! I’d dance to the beat, waited and sang SUPER LOUD my favorite part, Nate singing“ EAST SIDE HOTEL”!🤷🏾♀️😂
What I enjoy most about these videos is the relationship you have with your father. Your dads cool shit. I wish mine would’ve been that understanding, and accepting.
Hey, 40 year old here who used to jam to all of these classics. Just wanted to thank the young man for educating me as an adult to more of the background and musical setup of these songs. Very informational and a pleasure to watch. Thanks for the renewed appreciation of when rap started for me!
Well, guys... hello from Romania. :) I love both of you, just shared this with my son also. Now, since you get your dad to this road, let him have some of the bangers. DMX, Busta, Eminem (some of the fast lyrics one)... I can see you are taking him very smoothly to this ride. Press the pedal a little, I am sure he would love the hard beats also. Either way keep doing what you do, both of you are super fun to watch! :)
@@frontroom Thanks for the reply. Busta Rhymes ft Eminem - I'll hurt you would totally make me (and you) smile. Is not what you think about when reading the title. :) Keep up the good work! You guys are going to be big very soon.
let's be honest. We're all looking for daddy and now we've all found him. just keep going. Thanks for sharing a real father figure that we can imagine is ours. it's what we all need
Love this channel and how fast you guys are going through a great path of music lol interesting. One of my fav songs since I’ve been a kid showed to me from my step dad and it’s cool to see you guys experience it
Shout out to my brother T-Money Green who played bass all over those G-Funk records. He was a former bass player for the dramatics too. He's responsible for linking Snoop with the Dramatics for Snoop's song "Doggy Dogg World". Peace!
14:03 213 is the Los Angeles area code. Regulate is the dictionary version meaning to control the flow of activity. From the Emilio Estevez movie Young Guns.
I love the bonding time between you and your father as well as you giving your dad insight on the music and I love his openness to learn about the artist and their work 👌🏾💯💯💯
"Regulate" here is meant to adopt connotations of correction. So, they are both relaxed, fun-loving people, but if you disrupt that mood, they will correct you by any means. As they say, "Don't start none, won't be none." lol
I just discovered this youtube channel. Its amazing. Brilliant. Love to see you to this together, father and son. So fun and respect to your dads analyse and engagemant to this. I love it.
Sir you said the comments you have been receiving are 'sweet', but I think Sir you get what you're giving in the best way. I am one of those that think your guys video reactions are so good. I especially like, and I've said this before, how educational and supportive of each other you are. Just watching the chemistry between your son and yourself is great to watch. Your son Sir just seems like the nicest, humblest, patient and very handsome. What a cool family. Mum must be amazing too.
@@blacksmith1925 Pathetic! Warren G to Suge Knight "If you don't get your hands off of me, I am going to call my brother" I guess he should have said "If you don't get your hands off of me, I am going to call my step-brother" Lol. I will go by what Warren and Dre call each other 24/7. Facts shouldn't offend you...
OMG! This brings back memories, I am from Long Beach, California which is where Nate and Snoop Dogg is also from, that's what the LBC means. I am now living in Europe in France and I just discovered your channel, and it's making me miss home, but at the same time giving me comfort since I am so far away. All your videos I relate to because most of the Artist from the Tupac era, I grew up listening to. I really love the way Dad and Son are bonding through music. Thank you...Also, more Jill Scott please. :)
The last line "If you ass is a buster than 213 will regulate". 213 was the group they were all in, Nate Dogg, Warren G, & Snoop. Buster is a term for some one who is a chump or someone who is your enemy. The way it is used in the line is, if you are my enemy then we'll regulate you i.e end you. love these videos, keep building fam.
Also 213 was the phone area code of LA and Long Beach. So that is a reference to the area in which they lived. If you came to that area you better be ready to hold your own or they would" Regulate" to let the out of towner's know don't try it.
When Nate dogg said at the end “if your ass is a Buster, 213 will Regulate” Meant Buster as a coward or someone that’s scared to represent what you consider yourself to be as in person. Someone that is not down for his. in other words means not being brave. & Regulate as in checking that person & putting him in his place. Good video though thanks for sharing !! 🙏🏼👍🏼
Watching these is entertaining. Keep it up. Knowing the slang used at that time is probably the hardest part for guys that weren’t in the mix in the 90’s
Y’all gotta do ‘Crossroads’ by Bone thugs-n- harmony! Thats one of the biggest hip hop songs of the 90’s and quite frankly of all time. It broke The Beatles record for fastest selling single in music history
Great call
The original Crossraods though.. that redone version is not that great lol
Yes
Great choice. Got to throw in Notorious Thugs into the mix is we're doing Bone Thugs.
Yes i was thinkin of this song when i watched the Biggie video. His son was explaining flow. I was like they need to hear Bone
“Who shot who”? 😂
Dad’s really invested in the storyline. So cute.
I never thought in a million years I would enjoy watching a father and son listen to dissect and discuss hip hop/rap songs, this is amazing
Dude nobody can replicate nate he was such a unique gem in music
Can we give them a Grammy? The quality time spent to reacting to music as father and son is priceless. I wish i could do this with my father.. I cant wait for the next video! Stay Blessed 🙏🏾
Wow, thanks! (dad)
Agreed! I hope he knows how blessed he is to have this type of relationship with his pops
Peep when he says “Nate Dogg is looking for Warren G”…that good ol’ era when you had to LOOK for your friends😂Those were the days
Truuue! Haha 😂
Oh ma god lol! You right!!!
😂😂😂😂😂
I thought about that lol, made me think of old BET movies 🤣
Yep lol if they weren't at the house phone.. you had to go out and look at your regular spots
Nate Dogg is known for his hooks. He blessed many classics with his voice. The song samples 80s singer Michael McDonald "I keep forgetting"
It’s also has the Micheal Franks flute sample as well
Michael Mcdonald from the Doobie Brothers
Also Nate is related to Dr Dre
There is a mix which blends this track with Mike Mcdonald
Nate dog had such a unique voice. R.i.p. nate Dog
@@VhudziJena the 'Jamming Mix' 👍🏻
@@VhudziJena Warren is Dre’s step brother.
I feel you are giving Hip Hop the respect it deserves. These artists created music and trends. Love love these mini lessons.
Thanks for watching. (dad)
Yeah, some of the stuff he knows I didn’t even know! He’s definitely doing us a service and teaching some of us! LOVE IT!!!!!! 💚💚💚
@@TheRealStellaNoWine Yes! I’m appreciating it on a whole new level!
FYI: Snoop Dogg and Warren G were best friends growing up (or at least during high school). Dr. Dre and Warren G were step brothers, and Warren G actually introduced Snoop Dogg to Dr. Dre.
Also, Nate Dogg & Snoop Dogg were cousins.
Also snoop 🐀 in 1998 and nate and warren didnt 🤣🤣🤣
Also Daz too, all 3 of them are cousins.
@@traceejohnson290That's why they have the same last name.

THIS was my jam back in day. Wore it out. Still a BANGER to this day. Regulators mount UP !
The young gunna explaining G Funk is why hip hop should be a class! Hearing him do these breakdowns and techniques is refreshing man..double entendre, similes, methohors, etc can all be found in hip hop even til the day!

I LOVE the bit at 11:45 where the dad sings and the son is clearly slightly embarrassed but also pleased that his dad is getting into it.

Thank you for mentioning this!
I think the sound of south central La & compton is way more harder, then the smooth g funk style from Long Beach (213).
and when you're not listening "too close" it could be "two one street" like on the album
before autotune, there was nate dogg.
my father died a few weeks ago, and watching your videos, how you and your father listen to hip hop and discuss about is just beatiful.
Very sorry to hear about your loss, Jonny. Wishing you comfort during this difficult time
Peace to you my brother. Condolences🙏🏽
Sincerest condolences and deepest sympathies.... prayers up from Texas
rest in peace to your pops, g. 🙏🏼 mine left me a few years ago. so im right there with you, bruh. keep your chin up.

Good choice. I'm surprised your Dad doesn't recognize the main sample. Michael McDonald's I Keep Forgettin' (Every Time You're Near) A huge hit from 1982.
It was also my thought that dad didn't catch Michael McDonald's sample.....much love from South Africa, Cape Town 😁❤️🇿🇦 awesome channel guys ❤️🌍
Also the Young Guns movie sample at the beginning... they were the original Regulators that protected Mr. Tunstall's property.
I was 12 when this song came out and I recognized the beat immediately. I'm surprised the dad didn't catch that either.
De La Soul Keepin the Faith used the same sample
I always have that in my head during this song.
This is one of the rap classics. Keep going.
RIP Nate Dogg
the sample was from the 70s, Michael McDonald's "I Keep Forgetting". they used to play a mash up Regulator Remix on the radio. its such a great song overall, both the original Michael McDonald song and this one, but my favorite is the mashup.
I keep forgetting is a bad ass song, in my playlist longtime …….
I was looking for someone to mention Michael McDonald 😉.

I love every song that you have selected to show your dad and also really love your knowledge on the background/context of each song that even someone like me that’s heard the song a million times lol is getting new context. thanks for sharing the love you have of music especially hip hop with your dad and the YT world 🤍
Great job guys for analyzing these tracks...and appreciating the music, love how the dad is open and knowledge about music and instruments, by the way 213 is the trio group that nate Dogg, Warren g and snoop dog was in, it is the erea code for long beach
213 is the Los Angeles area code. 562 is the area code for Long Beach
@@itsmesteve5859 not then it's changed three times 213 to 909 to 562. I moved in 99 when it changed.
@@bymrbest906 I don't remember 909 as a Long Beach number. It was 310 and 562. -1999 CSULB grad
It was an area code for Long Beach in the 90's. It's now 562.
@@bymrbest906 I was born and raised in Long Beach. 213, 310 was for both Long Beach and L.A. L.A is now 323 and 424 and Long Beach is now 562. 909 is Riverside/San Bernardino County area.
This channel is going to be HUGE!!! I absolutely love it. I’ve never heard rap and/or some of my favorite songs every explained in this manner. You can tell the duo knows SO much about music in general. They must be true students of the art of music and the terminology they use really describe everything perfectly.
I always loved the way they were able to take Michael McDonalds beat from “I keep forgetting” and incorporate it into this song, much like 2 pac changes using Bruce Hornsby “the way it is” beat. Just flows so perfectly
I love how open your dad is to trying new songs and how well you not only articulate how you feel about the lyrics but also about all the elements of the actual music.
Regulate was the first hip hop album I got into at age 14. Holds a special place in my heart ❤️
You and your dad seem like such solid guys. Love your dad's openness to everything. To see him bob his head, seems like he can love and appreciate all types of music. Genuinely enjoy watching your videos, keep it up!
213 also refers to the area code that they all came from. So in a way, Nate Dogg is saying our hood, our area will regulate. They’re paying homage to their home area as well 🙏🏽💙 Rest in Paradise Nate Dogg the Great Dogg 💙
Edited addition : it’s became a staple soundtrack to all folks from that area. It reflects our attitude and vibe that we carry when we walk the streets of our area, or just being from that area in general 🙏🏽
Definitely RIP to Nate Dogg. 213 was the area code in Long Beach in the early 90s. In this particular lyric 213 is the group that Nate Dogg, Snoop Dogg and Warren G were a part of.
Nate is not from Cali. He grew up in my old neighborhood in Mississippi. He is a preacher’s son.
I was hoping someone said something. 😩😩😩😩
@@infamous5921 Nate Dogg was born in Long Beach CA and sang at New Hope Baptist Church in Long Beach on the corner of Mew York and Anaheim. Yes his father was a Pastor and he did also live in Mississippi.
213 is also a group with Nate Dogg warren g and snoop. So I always took it as them referring to themselves and not the entire hood. Especially since this song is just about them and not their boys
Man your dad is a good guy can see he really loves you ! Lovely to see theses kinds of videos
This is one of my favorite. Nate Dogg was considered the ghetto Opra Singer when he let this rap out. Love Dads' reaction to this. Hats off to you guys. You all should react to Back to the Hotel. Defense a must listen to. God's speed. 💞
If I may provide some recommendations: -
Nas - If I ruled the world
Immortal Technique - Dance with the Devil
Kanye West - Through the Wire
Jay Z - Song Cry
Notorious B.I.G - Sky is the Limit
And great recommendations I must say💯💯🔥
Yes! Great list. I would add Kanye West: All Falls Down
If I ruled the world, song cry, and sky is the limit 👍👍
Yes!
Oh man. Dance with the devil. Yeah that one has to be done.
Im an oldschool hip-hop head from Denmark / Europe. Started listening to hiphop in 1983 (im 52 YO) and I think I know a pretty good deal about hip-hop. I love your videos so much. Its so wonderful that you can have this thing with your dad (your dad is SO cool). I wish I had the same opportunity back then. Some times I experience that you have some blank spots in your hip-hop story, and I understand that, because your ar young. But most of the time you are very correct, and I really admire your knowledge. Its fantastic. Giv us more :-)
Thank you for the kind words :) since most of the music we have listened to so far came out before I was born, and I didn’t live the stories they tell, it is sometimes hard for me to get the context correct. But I’m glad that viewers fill me in on it when I miss something. Thanks for watching ❤️
@@frontroom I'm very impressed about the knowledge your have though. Keep up the fantastic work showing the beautiful art of hiphop.
Just seeing you with your dad and bonding over music and him being able to give that insight of music from his generations and how our generation takes those samples and make new music with it is truly phenomenal love yalls relationship
I share this same connection with my dad for the love of old school hip hop and seeing you and your dad allows me to relate to you guys. Keep up the great work!
Awesome to hear that Anthony!
I love the breakdown of the song you explain to your dad. So wholesome😅
Dad is so cute lol. I love these. Y’all just brighten my day! Keep it coming!
Important to note, 213 is an area in the LA area, which is where these guys are from, so in addition to them referencing their other group, it's also them representing where they're from. A classic track!
In fact, 213 is the area code of Long Beach wich Snoop, Warren G and Nate Dogg came from...also They take this to name their rap group...
New subbie over here. This and your video on Tupac's Dear Mama song sealed the deal for me. You guys are just genuinely wholesome and just enjoying the music. Glad RUclips recommended your channel to me. 💙
Regulators!!!!!!!! Mount Up!!!!
Your dad is so cool. I lost my dad in 2010. Keep up the great job. Love your videos :-)
I promise you I heard this song a million times and I didn’t realize what they were talking /singing about!!!
I’d dance to the beat, waited and sang SUPER LOUD my favorite part, Nate singing“ EAST SIDE HOTEL”!🤷🏾♀️😂
That's why todays rappers stopped trying.
Motel🤭………….but who cares!! 😆🤙🏽
Wow 😬😳🙄
That was the dads favorite part 🤫😏
🤣🤣🤣 Rollin …
This song is a classic, you can play this everyday and you will always vibe to it. This is Hall of Fame of hiphop.
This gives Unintentional Asmr. Please keep these mics, your voices are golden 👌🏻
What I enjoy most about these videos is the relationship you have with your father. Your dads cool shit. I wish mine would’ve been that understanding, and accepting.
Hey, 40 year old here who used to jam to all of these classics. Just wanted to thank the young man for educating me as an adult to more of the background and musical setup of these songs. Very informational and a pleasure to watch. Thanks for the renewed appreciation of when rap started for me!
The "If your ass is a buster" explanation had me. Lol but I dig it. Great channel.
@JayWeezysWorld Definitely had me 😄😄!
I love Dad coming over to the other side....lol. He too also appreciates these lyrical genius of Rap/hip hop art.
Well, guys... hello from Romania. :) I love both of you, just shared this with my son also. Now, since you get your dad to this road, let him have some of the bangers. DMX, Busta, Eminem (some of the fast lyrics one)... I can see you are taking him very smoothly to this ride. Press the pedal a little, I am sure he would love the hard beats also. Either way keep doing what you do, both of you are super fun to watch! :)
Thanks for the comments. Foot to the pedal? Have to make sure I got my seatbelt nice and tight! (dad)
Appreciate the support! Thank you for watching, Golan
@@frontroom Thanks for the reply. Busta Rhymes ft Eminem - I'll hurt you would totally make me (and you) smile. Is not what you think about when reading the title. :)
Keep up the good work! You guys are going to be big very soon.
OOOOOO Busta Buss!!! You gotta do his Leaders of The New School stuff first then solo stuff to see how he changes
let's be honest. We're all looking for daddy and now we've all found him. just keep going. Thanks for sharing a real father figure that we can imagine is ours. it's what we all need
Love Warren G . Seen him and Snoop this past summer. The best concert I have ever been to. Singing Regulate with the crowd was a thrilling experience.
Love this channel and how fast you guys are going through a great path of music lol interesting. One of my fav songs since I’ve been a kid showed to me from my step dad and it’s cool to see you guys experience it
Thank you!! (dad)
Shout out to my brother T-Money Green who played bass all over those G-Funk records. He was a former bass player for the dramatics too. He's responsible for linking Snoop with the Dramatics for Snoop's song "Doggy Dogg World". Peace!
Let's gooooo! Sooner or later you have to get an artist to come on and perform for your dad.
And I’ll book the artist for you 👊🏽 I’ve been a successful music booker. I’m a huge fan guys.
I’m really enjoying your channel. 👏🏽👏🏽
14:03 213 is the Los Angeles area code. Regulate is the dictionary version meaning to control the flow of activity. From the Emilio Estevez movie Young Guns.
I love the bonding time between you and your father as well as you giving your dad insight on the music and I love his openness to learn about the artist and their work 👌🏾💯💯💯
Thank you very for watching Ron
Literally the opposite of my old man 😆
You guys are dope! Keep going y’all!
Another staple in the hip hop/rap culture 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽 keep doing your hard physical research/ and reflection fellas 🙏🏽
"Regulate" here is meant to adopt connotations of correction. So, they are both relaxed, fun-loving people, but if you disrupt that mood, they will correct you by any means. As they say, "Don't start none, won't be none." lol
stumbled on your videos and fell in love with the 2 generations of perspectives. Your dad is wonderful!
"smooth" - dad hit the nail on the head. Love this song and your in-depth explanations. Grew up listening to this, and I learned more about it today.
I just discovered this youtube channel. Its amazing. Brilliant. Love to see you to this together, father and son. So fun and respect to your dads analyse and engagemant to this. I love it.
I enjoy watching your dad's reactions 😊
R.I.P. Nate Dogg 🖤
You’re showing pops some good tunes man keep them coming..let’s see some bone thugs!!
Sir you said the comments you have been receiving are 'sweet', but I think Sir you get what you're giving in the best way. I am one of those that think your guys video reactions are so good. I especially like, and I've said this before, how educational and supportive of each other you are. Just watching the chemistry between your son and yourself is great to watch. Your son Sir just seems like the nicest, humblest, patient and very handsome. What a cool family. Mum must be amazing too.
Respect is all I can think with your pops. Nice! He has an open mind and respects the craft no matter how it is delivered.
A classic! Warren G is Dr. Dre's little brother. "Regulators" intro from the classic 1988 western movie "Young Guns"
Step brother
@@blacksmith1925 Geez!!! Big deal! Lol They call each other "brother" NOT "step bro", would you agree?
@@lewkor1529 I agree with the fact that Warren Griffin and Andre Young are step brothers. Facts shouldn't offend you.
@@lewkor1529 but there’s a big difference between the two… dna
@@blacksmith1925 Pathetic! Warren G to Suge Knight "If you don't get your hands off of me, I am going to call my brother" I guess he should have said "If you don't get your hands off of me, I am going to call my step-brother" Lol. I will go by what Warren and Dre call each other 24/7. Facts shouldn't offend you...
Dad is correct the melody and beat are from the original song called Too Hot I believe it was made in 1979 by Kool and The Gang. Good ear Dad!👂😊
That's factually incorrect. The it's actually a sample of the song "I Keep Forgettin' (Every time You're Near)" performed by Michael McDonald.
Love this channel. Your dad's voice and vibe is so relaxing, can he do some audio books for me 😅👍
I just discovered your channel today and I must say it’s now my favorite. I love hearing your dads insight. Keep up the great work :)
OMG! This brings back memories, I am from Long Beach, California which is where Nate and Snoop Dogg is also from, that's what the LBC means. I am now living in Europe in France and I just discovered your channel, and it's making me miss home, but at the same time giving me comfort since I am so far away. All your videos I relate to because most of the Artist from the Tupac era, I grew up listening to. I really love the way Dad and Son are bonding through music. Thank you...Also, more Jill Scott please. :)
rip nate dogg, need more people stepping up showing respect this dude belongs in every music hall of fame.
The last line "If you ass is a buster than 213 will regulate". 213 was the group they were all in, Nate Dogg, Warren G, & Snoop. Buster is a term for some one who is a chump or someone who is your enemy. The way it is used in the line is, if you are my enemy then we'll regulate you i.e end you. love these videos, keep building fam.
Back in the day 213 was the area code for Los Angeles, Long Beach, Watts, etc (Central L.A.)
Also 213 was the phone area code of LA and Long Beach. So that is a reference to the area in which they lived. If you came to that area you better be ready to hold your own or they would" Regulate" to let the out of towner's know don't try it.
213 was referring to the area code.
@@jennifferflores8335 213 was the area code but not the meaning behind regulate. 213 was the the group.
@@shaylalatoya The group name was only based on the area code.
When Nate dogg said at the end “if your ass is a Buster, 213 will Regulate” Meant Buster as a coward or someone that’s scared to represent what you consider yourself to be as in person. Someone that is not down for his. in other words means not being brave. & Regulate as in checking that person & putting him in his place. Good video though thanks for sharing !! 🙏🏼👍🏼
A buster is somebody who comes around thinking they are bad and cause trouble.
@@MsPedroStarr in other words a Buster is a Bitch
Watching these is entertaining. Keep it up. Knowing the slang used at that time is probably the hardest part for guys that weren’t in the mix in the 90’s
Another heart warming video. This song was part of my childhood. hip hop was/is special. 💕 thank you for this goodness.
