“Regulate” foi lançada em abril de 1994 como o primeiro single da trilha sonora do filme *Above the Rim* e também apareceu no álbum de estreia de Warren G, *Regulate... G Funk Era*.<br>
A faixa alcançou a segunda posição na Billboard Hot 100 dos EUA e ficou em oito no ranking R&B/Hip‑Hop, tornando‑se um dos maiores sucessos do West Coast hip‑hop da época.<br>
O instrumental da música utiliza um sample de quatro compassos da batida de “I Keep Forgettin’ (Every Time You’re Near)”, de Michael McDonald, além de trechos de “Sign of the Times” de Bob James e uma interpolação de “Let Me Ride”, de Dr. Dre.<br>
No videoclipe, além de cenas do filme *Above the Rim*, aparece uma participação especial de Tupac Shakur, reforçando a conexão da canção com a cultura hip‑hop dos anos 90.<br>
O início da faixa apresenta um diálogo de Casey Siemaszko, interpretando Charlie Bowdre no filme *Young Guns* (1988), que estabelece o clima narrativo da música.
