Ranked No. 3 in G-Funk
A Michael McDonald sample, a story told in alternating verses, and Nate Dogg singing hooks nobody else could have sold. Perfect construction from beginning to end.
Picked by 1994
G-funk's crossover moment, and the template for the sung-hook rap single that has never gone away since. It is on this list because of what came after it rather than what it took from before.
Picked by The Waxonia Desk — The Hundred
A Michael McDonald sample, a story told in alternating verses, and hooks nobody else could have sold. Perfect construction, beginning to end.
