Rapper Warren G totally butchered ‘Take Me Out to the Ballgame’
Before he took the microphone at Wrigley Field, the most embarrassing thing rapper/producer Warren G had done musically was utter this lyric: “What’s next? What’s next? What’s N-X-E-T.” But he might have sunk even lower than that on Friday when he sang “Take Me Out to the Ballgame” during the seventh inning stretch at the Chicago Cubs game.

He totally butchered it. Like, they were booing him within 10 seconds. It was bad from the first bar. He said “Take me to the ballgame” and … nope, just nope. It just got more uncomfortable from there.
Just look at this lady. She was having none of it:
This never would have happened on Nate Dogg’s watch. Warren would have glanced in the cut and seen his homey Nate — whose silky smooth vocals would have saved the day.
Alas, Nate Dogg is dead (R.I.P.) and there were no Regulators to bail out poor Warren G.
