For all of Warren G's Billboard Hot 100 appearances, see "Chart history: Warren G—Hot 100", Billboard.com, Prometheus Global Media, LLC, visited May 10, 2020. Yet at May 2020, the only song this adds to the Hot 100's Top 40 is "Do You See", No. 42 in January 1995. Incidentally, the Billboard.com webpage apparently dates by latest peak position, with "Regulate", for instance, at No. 2 in July 1994. Apparently dating instead by earliest peak position, with "Regulate" at No. 2 in May 1994, is Joel Whitburn, "Warren G", The Billboard Book of Top 40 Hits (New York: Billboard Books, 2010), p 696: in chronological order, "Regulate", with Nate Dogg (No. 2 in May 1994 and three weeks); "This D.J." (No. 9 in July 1994); "What's Love Got to Do with It," featuring Adina Howard (No. 32 in September 1996); "I Shot the Sheriff" (No. 20 in March 1997); "Smokin' Me Out", featuring Ronald Isley (No. 35 in June 1997); Nate Dogg's single "Nobody Does It Better", featuring Warren G (No. 18 in July 1998); "I Want It All", featuring Mack 10 (No. 23 in October 1999).

Jeff Weiss explains, "As much as The Chronic is a psychedelic and sinister warp of the Parliament and Funkadelic records that constantly rotated on Dre's childhood turntable, it is the sound of Long Beach, too: the ecumenical hymns of the Baptist church turned into filthy harmonic gospel by Snoop, Nate Dogg, Warren G and Daz" [J Weiss, "25 years later, Dr. Dre's 'The Chronic' remains rap's world-building masterpiece", Washington Post & Chicago Tribune, December 15, 2017].
