Earlier today ther were rumblings on the internet that the king of hip-hop hooks, Nate Dogg had passed away. However, these reports appear to be false. Initially, Mediatakeout had reported that Nate Dogg died due to complications from the stroke he suffered in 2007. However, the site has since issued a retraction and apology after people close to Nate Dogg stated that he's "alive and doing fine." [Media Takeout]

The following Myspace bulletin was sent from Nate Dogg's profile:
"THIS IS NATHANIEL DWAYNE HALE AND I AINT DEAD, BUT IF I EVER FIND THE PERSON WHO HACKED MY PAGE THEY WILL BE!!!!! ONCE AGAIN Nate Dogg AINT DEAD!!!!!!! IM SMOKIN A FAT ASS KUSH JOINT RIGHT NOW!!!!!!"
