It's a sad day not just in Cali' but all throughout the Hip-Hop world. After battling with a series of problems, the West Coast great, Nate Dogg, finally succumbed to poor health yesterday morning when he was announced dead by his family.The cause of death is still unknown but it's likely to have had a lot to do with the stroke he suffered in December 2007, rendering the left side of his body paralysed. He was struck by another stroke in 2008.
This post isn't intended to make Nate Dogg out to be some kind of super rapper who should be remembered in the same light as someone like Biggie. Although I know to many, it's tempting to do that after a rapper dies. But Nate was a very unique artist. He helped pioneer the G Funk era and sound. A West Coast beat just didn't sound right without the smooth vocals of Nate Dogg laced over it. It wouldn't be fair to pass comment on his lyrical ineptitude because razor sharp rhymes were not what he was there for. He embodied a sound, a movement. His voice alone encapsulated everything you think about when you think West Coast. White tees, palm trees, lowrider cars and bicycles, synthesizer lines on top of rolling basslines, Compton, Venice Beach, GTA San Andreas, the list is endless! Even people that don't like Hip Hop liked Nate Dogg. His voice defined an era which is why he'll forever be remember in Hip Hop history. My prayers goes out to Nate Doggs Family and all of the DPGC.
RIP Nate Dogg.

It's goin' to be a sad day in the city when this goes down. One of the most iconic streetware/sneaker shops will be closing after 9 years of great style, service and party's. Thank you Keith and your staff for everything and best wishes as you guys take the HUF brand to that next level....... Although SF will no longer play host to the stores, the shop in LA will remain open with full company operations running from Southern California. Keith speaks about the closing below:
To Whom It May Concern:
After 9 years of having retail spots in SF, I am selling our last SF shop on Hayes street. We had a great run in SF and I appreciate all the customers and friends we made through the shops over the years. As most of you know, I started my brand, HUF, through the shops. I never could anticipate how well it would be received and what it would grow into. In order to be the best I can be at producing clothing and footwear for my brand, I have to give up my original vision of having a shop where I sold other people’s brands. I’m pretty happy about the opportunity to focus on the HUF brand full-time and feel its time to pass the torch in SF to a new owner that will provide a cool, multi-line sneaker shop for the shoppers in Hayes. We will still be open for a little while in SF while the shop changes hands. We will continue to keep our HUF shop open on Fairfax in Los Angeles where we carry the complete HUF line as well as HUFshop only specialty product, from time to time. Being a skateboarder was a great launch pad for me to own a shop and the shops were a great opportunity to learn how to make clothing. Making clothes helped me learn to make shoes and skating in them helps me learn how to make them better. The business is an extension of myself and ever evolving. Many of the familiar faces you saw in the shops behind the counters over the years have moved on to help me at the brand with design, sales and marketing. The original HUF crew is alive and well. We look forward to bringing quality skateboard lifestyle apparel and footwear for years to come. If you are looking for something and can’t find it elsewhere, check out our site. www.hufsf.com . Thanks to everyone who ever set foot in a HUF shop in SF. We had a great time and hope you did too!
Sincerely,
Keith Hufnagel
