Before the “Respect The West” showcase, VIBE sat down with Warren G to reflect on the passing of his 213 comrade.
According to G, fans can look forward to Nate Dogg’s legacy living on in both him and Snoop Dogg.
“Everytime we worked, everytime we went anywhere we had fun…that’s how we was together, me, Snoop and Nate. We’re still gonna hold it down for em and carry his legacy on. It don’t stop, everything I do Nate is a part of it.”
An obviously still emotional Kurupt also popped on the scene and added,
“That was my big homie, my big brother, ya know?…Nate was everything to us.”
