Track Of Yesterday: Warren G - Regulate ft. Nate Dogg (Death Row)


It’s difficult to believe that this came out in 1994, and I think it was around the time that I moved from Karystos to Paris. I heard ot on the radio the other day, for the first time in ages and was washed by waves of nostalgia. I had more or less topped buying hip-hop at this time, and was settling into a cosy, if not slightly careless routine, of spending all of my salary a month in advance on house and techno vinyl, making the trip across the city from my apartment, or my work to Rough Trade on a very regular basis. I had a new carte bleu from Credit Lyonnais and I was determined to use it. The thing is I never owned this track. Emmanuelle heard it and bought the album, the cd of which is still around somewhere. It was constantly on Radio Nova back then, along with the uncensored ‘Sexy MF’ by Prince and sundry others. Great piece of work though, which were it to be rereleased, would shift MP3s by the dozen.
