The Regulators was the name of the group of cowboys headed by Dick Brewer and Billy The Kid in New Mexico in the late 1800s. Regulating refers to the regulation of any stealing of cattle from their ranch.
The story of the Regulators was made into a movie called Young Guns where the character Charlie Bowdre famously says “We work for Mr Tunstall as Regulators, we regulate any stealing of his property, we’re damn good too.”
This sample was later used in the song “Regulate” by rapper Warren G.

That can goblin tried to jack me, but I regulated him.

Let me contemplate,
I glanced in the cut and see my nigga Nate.
Sixteen in the clip and one in hole
Nate Dogg is about to make some bodies turn cold
Now they droppin and yellin', its a tad bit late
Nate Dogg and Warren G had to regulate!

Regulators
We regulate any stealing of his property
And we damn good too
But you can't be any geek off the street,
Gotta be handy with the steel if you know what i mean, earn your keep!
