Weekend Wildcards - I Keep Forgetting by Michael McDonald and Regulate by Warren G

This Weekend's Wildcard is a two for one. First, is the original. Michael McDonald released I Keep Forgettin' back in 1982 on his debut solo album If That's What it Takes. Prior to this album, McDonald was a part of the Doobie Brothers which began with him filling in for singer Tom Johnston who became ill in 1976.

This hit has been sampled numerous times by artists such as Warren G (Today's 2nd track), Jadakiss, Madvillain, and Solomun. You can see why too. That music is just too smooth.



Second, is one of the songs that sampled the original McDonald hit. Warren G and Nate Dogg released this major hit back in 1994 for the Above the Rim soundtrack and it also later appeared on his album Regulate... G Funk Era. The song was a major breakout hit for both artist and is one of the biggest hip hop songs ever and one of the biggest songs of the 90s. Whenever I hear this song I think of Randy Allen singing Nate Dogg's part in art class back in high school.
