“That was shit was kinda crazy man. It was so fuckin crazy,” the rapper explained in regards to his perfomance. “I ain’t even gonna say it man.

Nate Dogg's Family At Odds Over His Estate(familia ya nate dogg yagombana juu ya mali alizoacha)
Nate Dogg's family has been at odds over his estate since the singer passed away. Now, the arguments over money have intensified.
When Nate Dogg tragically passed away in 2011, he did not leave a will. This caused his wife, Latoya Calvin, and his children to have several disputes over how the late singer's assets should be divided. Calvin took control of the assets and reportedly filed documents this week, bringing Nate Dogg's mother, Ruth Holmes, into the fold as co-administrator of the estate. However, Nate Dogg's children disagree with this as well.
Nate Dogg's daughter, Aundrane Hale, recently spoke with TMZ about the situation and explained why they do not agree with their grandmother being named co-administrator.
"Ruth doesn't have my best interest or the interest of my brothers and sisters," Aundrane explained, while also adding that Holmes did not attend Nate Dogg's funeral.
According to Hale, Holmes has kept money away from Nate Dogg's children in the past and she believes the children won't receive money from Nate's estate in the future. She also said Holmes "was never a grandmother."
A judge has not ruled on the case as of yet.

“First of all the album is called E-40 & Too $hort: The History Channel. We’re doing two albums. It’s two albums we’re dropping on the same day,” E-40 revealed. “$hort was before me so we both seen all the genres, different eras of music. So we got fans that loved the old school music and we got fans that love the new school music. So it’s called E-40 & Too Short: The History Channel. Function music which is for the newer era.

“I consider myself an underdog, but I don’t care about that. I think it’s better to be honest with you. I like underdogs,” said E-40. “When I see a boxing match I’m like ‘Man, he the underdog. I want him to win.’ You know what I’m saying? Maybe that’s why [I’ve lasted] so long in this industry. If I would’ve just blew up overnight, sold 10 million records I probably would have been out the game. But God made it and he designed it like this and I’m gonna roll with it. This is my path.”
It’s unclear when exactly E-40 & Too $hort: The History Channel will be released.

“I consider myself an underdog, but I don’t care about that. I think it’s better to be honest with you. I like underdogs,” said E-40. “When I see a boxing match I’m like ‘Man, he the underdog. I want him to win.’ You know what I’m saying? Maybe that’s why [I’ve lasted] so long in this industry. If I would’ve just blew up overnight, sold 10 million records I probably would have been out the game. But God made it and he designed it like this and I’m gonna roll with it. This is my path.”
