Which 1994 Warren G album included the hit single “Regulate”?

The story behind the answer

Warren G’s 1994 album featuring the hit single “Regulate” was Regulate... G Funk Era.

Released on June 7, 1994, the album was Warren G’s major-label debut on Def Jam Recordings. Its best-known track, “Regulate,” features Nate Dogg and prominently samples Michael McDonald’s 1984 song “I Keep Forgettin’ (Every Time You’re Near).” The single became one of the defining songs of the West Coast G-funk era.

The album reached number two on the Billboard 200 and was certified triple platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America. Other tracks include “This D.J.,” which earned Warren G a Grammy nomination for Best Rap Performance in 1995.

A common mix-up is confusing the album title with the single: “Regulate” is the song, while Regulate... G Funk Era is the album. Warren G is also often associated with Snoop Dogg and Dr. Dre because of the album’s West Coast sound, but he is a separate artist and the album was his own debut.
