Stop downvoting everyone who says they don't get it. We didn't all grow up with the same music or background. I had to Google it to know it was a song.

It is also from a 1988 movie, Young Guns, which ties it to our generation, with a wider chance of knowing it, even if you don't know the 1994 song.

I may have seen the movie or maybe just parts of it when it came to TV. We were around 8 when it came out, so more Gen X IMO as it isn't a kids movie. I certainly don't know what Regulators means regardless.

I’d just like to point out that Warren G did not regulate shit. He is piggy backing off of Nate Dogg (RIP) regulating.

I had no idea that the first part of that song is a quote from Young Guns, until about 2 years ago.

And I didn't know the music was sampled from a Michael McDonald song until earlier this year when someone did that one at karaoke. At first I was all "yeah, Regulators!" and then I quickly became very puzzled.

I can’t believe they takin’ Warren’s wealth.

Yep, the perfect meme for our micro generation - older Xennials might know it for the movie, and younger ones for the song. Also allows for more cultural reach, with a western movie and a rap song. I loved both growing up! Regulators, mount up!

I'm 45, best friend is 40. We were on a road trip, this came on satellite radio, and I still knew every word. He looked at me like I was crazy. Somehow, he had NEVER heard the song before. I still don't understand how that's possible!

Any mention of "Regulate" requires posting the infamous Wikipedia entry translating the lyrics. I did not write this masterpiece of literary translation, merely passing along the link:

*"There follows a brief discussion of the genre's musicological features, with special care taken to point out that in said milieu the rhythm is not in fact the rhythm, as one might assume, but actually the bass. Similarly the bass serves a purpose closer to that which the treble would in more traditional musical forms."*

Warren G just created a Baseball League Club for underprivileged youth in SoCal (long beach area?) On the LA News they said they were asking the public to submit suggestions for the Teams Name😳

There is CLEARLY only ONE Appropriate Answer: REGULATORS‼️ Couldnt EVEN believe it was up for Discussion🤣
