have a fight.

Snoop was just...

was so talented, you know.

And I was his

hype-man/security/MC,

just, you know,

talkin' to the crowd.

I would call his battles out.

You know, I would tell him like,

"Snoop, da-da-da-da

wanna battle.

Let's go get him."

Warren G was like Don King

or a promoter,

'cause he would always,

you know,

say, "My homeboy

could do this and do this."

[Warren G] And I'd be

like, "Hold up, Snoop.

Wait a minute.

What's that right there?"

[Snoop Dogg] And I would rap about

whatever he was pointin' at.

"Hey, Snoop, what about

that right there?"

"Oh, you talkin'

about the water bottle?"

Goin' off on him, off a bottle.

Dogg would bust like that.

And he'd be like, "Hey, Snoop,

what about this Chinese food?"

And he would rap about it

and break it down.

And make it work towards

whoever he's battling.

It was incredible the things

that he could do.

As far as Nate, Nate came

from Mississippi as a kid,

and he rode right

into what was goin' on.

[Snoop Dogg]

First time I met Nate Dogg was,

uh, Poly High School in 1986.

We had a science class.

I was beatin'

on the table, I think

to a Rakim song that came out,

"I Ain't No Joke,"

and I was doin'

that beat on the table,

and I was rappin'

and freestylin'.

And Nate was sittin', like,

right on the side of me.

And he started, like, singin'

and freestylin'.

And we just... we jammed.

Snoop was like, "Man, you need

to get down with me and Warren."

Back in the days

At Poly High

Yo, check me, yo

Back in the days

At Poly High

Got to get your scrap on

Do or die yo

Back in the days

At Poly High

Old school

Old school mother...

[Warren G] I didn't even know

that Nate could sing like that.

The soulfulness

that was comin' from his voice

was just... was incredible.

Just woke up

Off my bed

And to my surprise

I had to brace myself

I couldn't believe my eyes

[indistinct]

[man] Hey! This sh*t burn

my motherfuckin' eyes, man!

She said to listen homes

[Snoop Dogg] Nate Dogg was lettin'

me use his car for the prom,

'cause I didn't have no car.

And we used his car

for, um, grad night

or whatever that was

when you go to Magic Mountain,

and we dogged his sh*t out.

I mean, me and Warren G

drove that mothafucka

till the brakes was gone.

And that was like... [chuckles]

That was like the first time

213 was really like...

We got a group, man.

And, uh,

we just started creatin'.

[Snoop Dogg]

And we liked the group 415,

which was from the Bay Area,

so we was like,

"Sh*t, we gonna be 213,"

'cause we

from Southern California.

[Warren G]

Nate was the soulful vocalist,

but keeping it gangster

at the same time.
