Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.You should never go back, they say, although you can hardly blame Warren G for trying. Just as Meatloaf reacted to a decade of decline by releasing Bat Out Of Hell II: Back Into Hell, Warren G has attempted to halt the growing indifference to his output of bad Tina Turner cover versions by reminding people why they used to like him. The Return Of The Regulator is basically Regulate: G Funk Era Pt 2, a belated sequel to the sublime synthetic hip-hop of his epoch-defining 1994 debut. Every now and then, he recaptures that magic: "Young Locs Slow Down", is a particularly tasty cut, and the funny/sick rhymes are still present and correct. The album is most notable for a reunion of the infamous 213 clique (Snoop Dogg, Nate Dogg and Warren) on "Yo Sassy Ways", a cheeky reworking of William De Vaughn's "Be Thankful For What You've Got". But if what you've got is the original, be thankful.
