[@KeepIt-rd4lq]

Everyone knows that Suge Knight was super jealous of Warren G's success. I lived in Ghana away from London for 2 years when 'Regulate' came out. In those days it was hard to get a hold of new releases, especially in West Africa. That song was smokin' worldwide and he didn't cash in on the song the way he wished he had😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 Suge knows him not signing Warren G was one of the dumbest mustakes that he made as a CEO. Another dumb thing he did was not teleasing Nate Dogg's album immediately after Snoop's album. The whole world loved Snoop and Nate Dogg when they heard The Chronic album. With all of that super buzz around Regulate, why didn't you release an album on Nate Dogg? I am really confused by it. Nate Dogg's album would have sounded very different, and unique to any singer's album at the time. It would habe been monumental to see Devante, Dre, Quik, and a host of others doing a project with Nate😢😢😢😢 We never got to see it, though.
