“Xxplosive” by Dr. Dre, featuring Hittman, Kurupt, Nate Dogg, & Six-Two
“Xxplosive” from 2001, released in 1999
I hadn’t heard this song in a long time until yesterday when @mylothecat on Instagram released a video of Rock Bottom (of Felix the Cat fame) singing Nate Dogg’s verses. Watching that video, I was reminded of how much I love this vastly inappropriate song. Like, seriously, I cannot emphasize enough how inappropriate it is. The late 90s were a different time, folks, a different time. But you know what? Sometimes we all need to get a little inappropriate, which brings us to “Xxplosive.”
Nate Dogg, though, no matter what he is singing, is never inappropriate.
Keeping all of this in mind, I had to add “Xxplosive” to my list.
R.I.P Nate Dogg.
