Appearing on Shade Sheist's under-appreciated debut, Informal Introduction, from 2002, was the Nate Dogg & Warren G-assisted classic, "Wake Up". The song featured one of the best openings of ALL TIME (**Kanye Voice): [do action="manual-block-quote"]"When I wake up in the mornin', when I get up out of my bed, at all times I remain a hustler, at all times I be chasin' my bread, since this one's for my people, I'ma make sure you heard what I said, daddy say speak loud and clearly, daddy say aim for the head, I think we all too cool to lose it, I say we all stay leveled instead, I say still we tame the hookers, I know we still eludin' them feds, we make this one for the negroes, and for the caucasians who care, they say they treat us like we equal, I say they treat us like we just don't care"[/do] If you listened to hip-hop during this time period, there's a very good chance you know this part by heart, and also that you break down into a nostalgic sing-a-long sesh every time you hear it. R.I.P Nate Dogg.
