Why? I'd never heard of the poor soul, previously.

oh my.

the black student union just wrapped up their daily 4th period black history month presentations w/ a presentation on mac dre.

did it include an insightful critique of dreagonomics?

My BSU meetings have an dishearteningly low amount of Mac Dre content.

basically it was just a long list of the people he'd worked with. i think all the teachers winced together when she said "kokane".

it's no ronald dregan

absolutely not. Ronald dregan is actually a good album, while Pill Clinton is a shoddily assembled posthumous comp.

But still, PILL CLINTON!

pedal to the metal, rarely hit the brake / i love a high speed getaway

mac dre is so good

cant get over west coast dudes calling pussy 'cock' though

cash & cock is all i know

Luke was doing that first, no?

D-40: whats the best Mac Dre lp, or 2?

i fuxx w/ al boo boo & genie of the lamp, make sure you check 'off tha rictor' single tho

one of the best rap songs ever imo

I'll second genie of the lamp. only one I've heard in full but it is solid.

great production too. had this track on loop for like a whole afternoon a few months ago:

love this:

Me and black jesus went to Rosaritas
Seen senoritas eating carnitas
I was rocking my adidas sneakers
Told the waitress give my fajitas

Gonna get on that Genie lp, love that linked track, Alan. Been trying to round out my Yay tastes of recent. During the 90s I was big into e40, B-Legit, C-bo, RBL, Yukmouth, etc but hadnt got to Mac Dre/Mall yet. Just went on a big Mac Mall spree a few months back and feeling like its time to try Dre.

Thanks for the recs.

stupid doo doo dumb & young black brotha are my fav ones

if yr a rhythmalism fan u will probably like mac dre ... much more quik-ian party rapper (w/ a more sui generis style than quik, even) than a serious mob rapper like mac mall

young black brotha is dope too, his trademark rap style wasnt quite evident yet

Gonna go on a little Mac Dre spree here this weekend then. I will see what my local shops have in stock and maybe internet the rest.

I've heard good things about Thizzle Washington too, will put that on the short list as well.

*Thizzelle

def check 'heart of a gangsta mind ofa hustler' too, thats got 'off tha rictor' 'lets go riden' & afaik the first mention of 'hyphy'

should have mentioned, 'ronald dregan' is actually a much more consistent / arguably better album than 'genie of the lamp' but genie has a couple of my favorite mac dre songs on it so i give it the slight edge

Dreganomics is where I chose to start, its stellar for real. I think Since '84 is the best song I've ever heard, love the guitar so much. The scattered guitar flourishes throughout the whole Lp is the kind of thing I fall hard for. The bass on Witme is crack too.

Haven't really delved into the lyrics yet, I usually just catch the whole vibe first then focus on lyrical details on later listens. I couldn't focus on anything but the lyrics when Jump It came on tho, undeniable.

Dre comes off kinda sloppy on the mic sometimes, probably by design but I love it either way.

Genie of the Lamp up next.

only smoke rope, not coke or newports

when im on the thizz im a fool i dont quit

cherry flavored bourbon?? never heard of it

al boo boo might be my fav now

what do i look like, mr frank fuck for free?

This track 'My Alphabets' w Suga Free & Rappin 4 Tay off Genie is pure. Makes me wish these cats woulda united for a full lp.

agreed! suga free is really underrated, and dre & 4-tay are legendary.

fav line: "i'm on parole, cuz!"

Vibing hard to 'The Pain' and 'Lame Saturated' off Al Boo Boo atm.

murdered 16 years ago today by someone in Kansas City, Missouri that the Kansas City, Missouri police department haven't been able to identify

here are some other homicides that the Kansas City, Missouri police department haven't been able to solve: https://www.kcpd.org/crime/unsolved-homicides/

anyway, that's sad. also sad is the fact that every time I ask a fellow Californian who their favorite California rapper of all-time is, most of the time they'll say Snoop or Tupac, which is so fucking lame. E-40 or Mac Dre are two very acceptable answers that no one should have to think about for too long.
