Data Insight
All twelve tracks carry his name and three carry nobody else. At 36 minutes it is the shortest album in the catalogue and the biggest seller by a distance. Nate Dogg is on four, Snoop Dogg on two, and the long credit lists on the singles are sample clearances rather than collaborators.
Regulate... G Funk Era came out on Violator and Def Jam in June 1994 and sold 3,000,000 in the United States. It is certified 3x Platinum. "Regulate" with Nate Dogg reached number two on the Billboard Hot 100.
