Reply to Warren G ft. Nate Dogg - Regulate [hip-hop] by Traditional_Use3718

For those who haven’t seen it, here’s a more easily understandable recount of what happened to Warren G and Nate Dogg that fateful night:

On a cool, clear night (typical to Southern California) Warren G travels through his neighborhood, searching for women with whom he might initiate sexual intercourse. He has chosen to engage in this pursuit alone.

Nate Dogg, having just arrived in Long Beach, seeks Warren. Ironically, Nate passes a car full of women who are excited to see him. He insists to the women that there is no cause for excitement.

Warren makes a left at 21st Street and Lewis Ave, where he sees a group of young men enjoying a game of dice together. He parks his car and greets them. He is excited to find people to play with, but to his chagrin, he discovers they intend to relieve him of his material possessions. Once the hopeful thieves reveal their firearms, Warren realizes he is in a considerable predicament.

Meanwhile, Nate passes the women, as they are low on his list of priorities. His primary concern is locating Warren. After curtly casting away the strumpets (whose interest in Nate was such that they crashed their automobile), he serendipitously stumbles upon his friend, Warren G, being held up by the young miscreants.

Warren, unaware that Nate is surreptitiously observing the scene unfold, is in disbelief that he’s being robbed. The perpetrators have taken jewelry and a name brand designer watch from Warren, who is so incredulous that he asks what else the robbers intend to steal. This is most likely a rhetorical question.

Observing these unfortunate proceedings, Nate realizes that he may have to use his firearm to deliver his friend from harm.

The tension crescendos as the robbers point their guns to Warren’s head. Warren senses the gravity of his situation. He cannot believe the events unfolding could happen in his own neighborhood. As he imagines himself escaping in a surreal fashion, he catches a glimpse of his friend, Nate.

Nate has seventeen cartridges to expend (sixteen residing in the pistol’s magazine, with a solitary round placed in the chamber and ready to be fired) on the group of robbers, and he uses many of them. Afterward, he generously shares the credit for neutralizing the situation with Warren, though it is clear that Nate did all of the difficult work. Putting congratulations aside, Nate quickly reminds himself that he has committed multiple homicides to save Warren before letting his friend know that there are females nearby if he wishes to fornicate with them.

Warren recalls that it was the promise of copulation that coaxed him away from his previous activities, and is thankful that Nate knows a way to satisfy these urges.

Nate quickly finds the women who earlier crashed their car on Nate’s account. He remarks to one that he is fond of her physical appeal. The woman, impressed by Nate’s singing ability, asks that he and Warren allow her and her friends to share transportation. Soon, both friends are driving with automobiles full of women to the East Side Motel, presumably to consummate their flirtation in an orgy.

The third verse is more expository, with Warren and Nate explaining their G Funk musical style. Warren displays his bravado by claiming that individuals with equivalent knowledge could not even attempt to approach his level of lyrical mastery. There follows a brief discussion of the genre’s musicological features, with special care taken to point out that in said milieu the rhythm is not in fact the rhythm, as one might assume, but actually the bass. Similarly the bass serves a purpose closer to that which the treble would in more traditional musical forms.

Nate goes on to note that if any third party smokes as he does, they would find themselves in a state of intoxication daily (from Nate’s other works, it can be inferred that the substance referenced is marijuana). Nate concludes his delineation of the night by issuing a vague threat to “busters,” suggesting that he and Warren will further “regulate” any potential incidents in the future (presumably by engaging their enemies with small arms fire).

>What publicity stunts and relationships have Coldplay done?

Travelling to Jordan to put on a special concert to highlight his their next tour will be carbon neutral comes to mind. All the hallmarks of a PR fluff piece plastered as a good thing by the press.

Chris Martin was (is?) Married to Gwyneth Paltrow which is pretty much guaranteed to keep you in the public eye.

AFI went Emo when Emo was clearly becoming a huge deal, that's selling out, they changed their style to what was clearly going to make them bags of cash. I was sort of on board with emo as i inbred Brand New and was willing to check other bands out, I'd already heard of AFI, that they'd been around a whole but we're just taking off and i heard Girls Not Grey and was unimpressed, it was a couple of years later that i bought a compilation called Punkzilla and heard what AFI used to be like and was impressed. I really liked their earlier style.

As for Slipknot they are all about the marketing and PR guff. Take GTA, GTA is in the public consciousness as the controversial murder simulator because of a campaign by Max Clifford paid for by DMA (later named Rockstar) and they still keep up this façade via PR stunts designed to keep that crown. Slipknot are the same, they are THE band people know about, this isn't by accident, Roadrunner know exactly what they are doing, keeping Slipknot as the demonic, ugly face of metal which is why your grandmother had heard of them and not Mushroomhead.

Gareth Emery - Analog

He's primarily an electronic (trance) producer, but on this album he mixes it up with more analog instruments. The music has quite a dreamy/nostalgic atmosphere and works really well for travelling.
