Nate Dogg Stable after Second Stroke

TMZ has learned hip-hop legend Nate Dogg is still hangin' on after suffering a stroke 11 days ago -- his second in the last year.

We're told Nate is in stable condition in a hospital ward, but is using an assisted breathing tube -- which is not required but makes breathing easier for him. Despite other reports, Dogg, who is currently sedated, did NOT suffer any brain damage.

According to our sources it's too early to tell how this stroke will impact the use of his limbs (his arm and leg were affected from the first stroke) -- but there isn't much movement below his neck at this time.

Nate's due in court on the 24th to face felony charges after he allegedly made death threats to his estranged wife.

46. Hope he'll get better soon. And what's all that fuss with prayers? There is no God. He has to fight with the condition by himself. But I'm counting on him, without him there will be no 213, only 1 and 3 :(

49. I am Nate's sister, same dad and mom. Same blood running through my veins. I find it quite amazing that so many cruel people can say the things about my brother and his condition and think that makes them any better than the things my brother may have done. Actually, many of you are only going on what you've heard and we all know lies don't spread. Yeah right. For those of you who send your prayers and well wishes to my family and my brother, thank you and God bless you. For the rest who are saying the mean hateful things, just remember you will reap what you sow. I forgive you for your insensitivity that we, my mother included, could read some of your heartless statements.

For those who do pray to the one and only true God, Jehovah, continue to pray for his healing and restoration and another chance to do live the life God created him to live.

50. Geez, people dont show compassion for anyone anymore? Well I enjoy his music and I hope he gets better. Poor guy, he's so young. Two strokes in one year? That sucks for anyone.

51. This is sad. If he's on a ventilator his condition is obviously serious enough to where he cant breath on his own. He's not even 40. If you like him or not at least have some compassion for him as a person. So many mean comments. but did any of you making the rude comments know he served in the military (Marines). If you dont like him, at least have respect for him for having the courage to serve our country, which is what im sure alot of you would not of had the balls or bravery to do. I've never heard anything negative in the press that he's done except for the incident with his girlfriend/wife a few months back and we've all had drama in our relationships were just not famous for them to be exposed.
Nate D O double G, hope you get better soon.
