30. Nate Dogg

Nate Dogg has one of the most soothing voices in hip-hop history some might consider the west coast hip-hop artist as the Frank Sinatra of rap. He's collaborated with every mainstream artist you could think of applying his mesmerizing voice to some classic choruses. Nate Dogg has worked with the likes of Tupac Shakur, 50 Cent, Eminem, Ludacris, Xzibit, Warren G, Dr. Dre, and more after starting off his music career in the group, 213 alongside his cousin, Snoop Dogg, and Warren G.

His solo career is one to be admired to as he dropped two albums in 1998 entitled, G-Funk Classics Volume 1 and Volume 2 while dropping a single-loaded album in 2001 entitled, Music & Me. His single 'Never Leave Me Alone' has eerily become his theme song as he recently passed away in 2011 after suffering from multiple strokes. Rest in power to the legendary Nate Dogg, gone but not forgotten.
