It was a privilege to meet Dre before he passed. He was at circuit city In emeryville and he ended his conversation on the phone to let me and my sister meet him and pick his brain and talk to him for 20 minutes a experience I will never forget. Thizz in peace Dre
He was one of the most personable and like-able people you could ever meet and had a whole different energy around him, seen him change the whole vibe in a room.
@@AuntAlnico4 😂 good point but still though circuit city in emeryville?! i though that was gone long before Dre. maybe not though. i was about to graduate high school when mac dre died
Rip mac drevious aka thizzle washington' aka rondal dregan aka dre van halen aka Mr break a bitch thizz in peace Furl we love u from frisco to the V it's all love
@Gene Collander and if he was still alive yall would both be wrong. lots of good artists out there Just to name a few: kendrick, Cole, Ab Soul, Reason, King Los, J Rock, Big Sean, Vince Staples, D Smoke, Freddie Gibbs, JID, RTJ, Buddy, Royce 5’9”, Pusha T, Tobe Nwigwe, Nipsey*, Grip, itsxmusic, Saba, Aminé, Smino, Spillage Village, Earth Gang, Chuuwee, Deante Hitchcock, Year of the Ox, Denzel Curry, Dom Kennedy, YG, Poli G, Big Krit, Azizi Gibson, Westside Boogie, G Yamazawa, Isaiah Rashad, Jack Harlow, Kid Kudi, Locksmith, Mayzin, Mick Jenkins, Prof., Benny the Butcher, Cozz,
@Gene Collander deteriorated how? you mean mainstream/ radio rap? technology has made it so we can always listen to good rap/hip hop and discover new artists all the time. also rap is still a very new music genre so its evolving and changing still.
@Gene Collander id love to hear what you think does or doesnt have musical value. rap has almost always had a lot of “bad” music to go with the good. i think it can be argued that there is a greater quantity of good music now than ever before just because of how accessible it is and the sheer number of artists.
@Gene Collander im not necessarily gonna disagree with you there but that’s kinda to he expected. Although perhaps they’re more meaningful music out there then you realize. Its super hard to be original in rap because in the last 40 years we’ve heard virtually everything. But have you heard Grip’s albums called “Snubnose” and “Porch”? He’s definitely saying something worth listening to. But the genre as a whole is evolving. Nowadays i only really listen to rap in the gym. Otherwise i prefer funk, groove, alternative etc. What are some rap artists that you do like though?
Mac Dre was a true creative, never will be another like him. Beyond his creativity, dude had the most buttery flow, illest slang, tightest storytelling, and made countless classics. Sad we lost one of the GOATs
If you don’t like something KEEP IT PUSHIN… People be so mad and jealous at least the man was able to live his dream. People need to worry about themselves.
His death for tough cuz he was such a humble ass dude. First thing I said when he died was like who the hell would hate Dre so much to shoot him. He didn't have beef with no one. Everyone loved.Dre
I went to a Mac Dre show once in Sac. Nicky was there too. My truck got broken into so they let me pull it into the lot. Saw Mac Dre arrive in a big body Benz, 2 or 3 girls wearing bikinis in the back. Dude went up did his set, then dipped. What a legend
On god Im been smoking woods here in Denver since 06-07ish Only cuzz of the cuddie furl On my life I use to search every local corner store in the hood to find backwoods And when I finally did I didn’t know what the fuck I was doing with it Until I heard the song Fly like a bird From Andre nickitina and dubee Dubee had a skit and he said “Unravel the backwood nigga” I was like dam my looie dropping gems for us lol I was N the 9th grade so was young Lol Thizz in peace al boo boo
I could only picture how great this man would have been. He seems intelligent and punctual he definitely knew more about life then what people wanted him to know.
Thata true but I don't think he would of made it to 2021 because all the drugs he did .. a lot of people said his health was terrible before the shooting due to all the shit he did
By now with his mentality he would of been buried and then alot time ago people like him are funny money wanna be hustler who always wanna come up and live in jail
Him and his clique were the first ones to bring the black homies, and the mexican homies all from different gangs and hoods, together on albums and songs "16 Wit Dre" . It might seem small but back then it was a HUGE DEAL....
If you grew up millennial in the bay there was no racism instilled in us because of this man, we never saw color we just saw how you got down and that’s all it took.
This is my biggest flex!!!!!! Groi g up in the east bay with different cultures/ races / ethnicity really what built me up to respect people and there up bringing. No matter of they ever were right or wrong regardless of they're point of view. Because I knew what I knew of what people are capable of being. Even if they're racist, still show them love and expose them to that. Only way to dispose ugliness. ASIDE, A LOT A OF SLANG,STYLE, AND culture came from the bay area especially for the west coast. No matter what people say... Same goes in the east coast in Harlem, ect.
Foreal foreal. I'm from Vallejo and I moved to Austin Texas Feb 2021.. Way way different. Cats don't know how to take me out here cause I'ma Filipino Tatted up dude that talk different. I'm just a man born and raised in the beautiful diverse world of the Bay
“I bumped me a thick nurse be all in the bitch purse no chips she can disperse this just ain’t a slick verse!” Crazy times man glad to see this breath of fresh air. 100% guaranteed if he Mac was still alive the bay would be so much different. Now people say they aren’t bay they’re a certain area or region only. He worked overtime to make it a whole nation and once he left things changed 100%
Not just that but before that like 2 minutes in he was talking about a nobody rapper which we have all day their just feeding the public money and fake rappers emerge.

Thank you for posting this. He shares a lot of wisdom in this interview, great to see it in this quality and in it’s entirety. Also, don’t know if Nickatina reads these but you were (aside from J Diggs on “Don’t Snitch” the only rapper that held your own presence on tracks with Mac Dre - you did that consistently on every track you did together, often bringing the best out of each other in the process. Thank you for this and thank you for contribution to music
@Mac Mike Im not talking about the posthumous album but the one song called Andre N Andre which was released on a Andre Nickatina album from may 2004..and Dre died in november
The part at 07:09 when he's talking about how he loves seeing people from different walks of life vibing to his music, singin word for word. Well fuck, that's me. Shit brought a tear to my eye.
I remember this man was in the rich one day, hopped out his car and yelled out to “i fuck with the rich! Yall got that good weed!” And jumped in the car and dipped hahaha
So dope to hear him speak again. I had never heard this full interview before. You know I had both copies of Trill TV though. RIP love to the world from the Five Tree 0
@@stavmiguel1125 call kck a shit Hole all you want Kcmo has and always will have much love for Mac and since your undercutting somebody's show of love towards the Mac shows your not in the know so quite acting wak
As a white boy raised in the Midwest I first heard Dre in the late 90’s and loved his music. When I moved to the bay in 08 I was worried as a white dude bumping mac Dre might be a problem. The 2 years I was there was nothing but love from all types of ppl. Mac Dre brought all races together with his music. RIP king
I had the same experience moving to the Bay from Redding. Oakland, San Leandro took me in like I was their token white dude. Taking me to a side show but the rolling 30s 40s and 50s. Made some great friends in Oakland.
My prayers have been answered! I was hoping the HD version of the interview would surface and it did. RIP Mac Dre. I wholeheartedly believe he was gonna be a worldwide superstar.
Man, that was definitely a hidden gem. Mac Dre was super humble in this interview. Genuine and natural. He never tried to hard to make a good song, it was all natural to him. God bless your soul and thank you for the gift of your good music Mac Dre. Thank you Andre for sharing this.

Definitely WAY ahead of his time! The rap game and today’s society needs MAC DRE more than ever! Thank YOU Nikatina for this video 🙏🏽 TIP FURL! THIZZ FOREVER
It's nothing but love for the Bay area this man put on for the Bay area I too grew up to this kind of music living out there in Oregon Today year 2023 it's still This Or Die You Beezy 🙌🏽💯👍🏼💪🏽
7:00 that makes me feel good. I went to an all boys college prep school in California around ‘00 and ALL YOU HEARD in the parking lot of school was MD. He’s saying that people like us where one of his main motivations for rapping. Rest in Paradise.
My mind goes numb just thinking of what direction the music would've went in if Dre was still alive he was so ahead of his time blessed to have listened anything with his name on it 🙏🏿
i’m 18 and i grew up with this legend alwyas playing in the background around my house and fellas ima keep his name alive by playing his music for life n for my kids when i have em
I saw him in concert at the Phoenix theater in Petaluma, Ca Smoked out the theater with the Chronic and his Lyrics straight fire these kids now days have no idea...
Man brah I can't believe it been so long since Dre passed. I was 14 when this man died back in 2004, the bay ain't been the same since.. THIZZ IN PEACE 🕊️🕊️ MAC DRE
I miss this era of music. I was only a 9 y.o. kid when he died, I got acquainted w Mac Dre later. But this whole era in general, Rock, Rap etc. It's unbelievable how far off the path we were on... I wish I could hear todays music had we stayed on this trajectory
Dre dogg made my 20's absolute insane, everywhere I went was Dre & woods 24/7, pills and Vick's vapor rub lol. The realest there ever was... Dre changed my mind for good
" I sit low in my Homeboys Chevy...." RIP One Love! Ima try and See you in Seattle Andre Nickatina, Seen you once before in Portland bout a decade ago. Keep at it man!, Respect
Real story Met Mac 3x in my life. When he had to post up at the federal housing on 4&T. in Sacramento. I was a Young Teen. The called us over and popped his trunk. Handed all 12 of us a The Rompilation album. I just remember thinking this man must be trippin to call us over. Not going to say we the worse kind of people. I will say we was ambitiously young. Yeah not going to lie we definitely was looking , but the man just was real. He spoke the language we understood. I remember the big homie. Showing him respect and just walked off. Later on telling us Dre is to be given our respect. 2nd time real story went to a house party in Frisco. I was 16-17 years old. Dre remembered my name. I met him 1x like 3 years ago. Told everyone that respected the way he was treated in the hood and I was to be given the same respect that he was given. I remember first time I ever got that faded. This older mexican dude told Mac that he can out drink him. They was talking back and fourth. The Mex pulled out his wallet with no lie more money than I can count. It got silent I remember thinking that man was going to get robbed. Instead Mac went in his hoodie and dropped all $100. I jumped up off the couch hella excited. Never seen some shssh like this. Mex and Dre was negotiating rules and some how I ended up behind the bar pouring these shots of moonshine that some family member brought from Alabama. This Mex looked like he can drink and after I lost count of the shots and both of them had went into there pockets and pulled more cash. I hate to say it, but I can tell Dre was hitting his limits. 100% the man that showed me respect 30 second after stepping in his presence was not going to win. I remember grabbing the glasses setting the down below the edge of the bar. I filled the mex shot glass with the shine and I noticed a sealed water bottle. Dre's shot glass filled it with water. Put em up. Mex immediately took it. Dre took him around 2 minutes before even putting it took his lips. We all been in this situation you know your not going to win, but you know you have continue. Kid you not He swallowed it bracing for the burn. Till this day I remember his confused face of WTF. He looked up at me. Man I never smiled that hard in my life. I stood there silent while everyone was shit talking, cheering and doing whatever they was doing. Dre just started laughing his ass off. In this moment I met MAC DRE. He looked at his boy told dude hand it to him. The man went into his back pocket with $100's. When you picture Mac Dre and think what it would be like to actually go all out at a party with the legend. Yes I seen it for one night and it was epic. The shots didn't last much longer and in true movie fashion Mex leaned back to take a shot and just kept leaning back. Straight as a board went out. absolute Legendary. I never was given any of that money, but I didn't care the rest of the night was even more insane. The mex was out cold and Big mom's of the house told Dre he did it so he needs to take him home. Dre's homies went into his wallet and got his address from his ID. Went into his pocket snatched the keys. Picked dude up and drug his ass outside and pushed the panic button on the key. Mex was rollin in a brand new Jaguar. They toss em in the back. Both of DRe's homies jumped in the Jag. Dre jumps in the 96 Impala. Next thing I know Dre pulls up to the drive way looks at me and said nothing. I already knew Jumped in he put in a tape said this my new new coming out this year. The man starts wrapping over the stereo. Never said which Album and I was so f'd up I only remember bits of the song it was a moment in time, but i would want to say it was Stupid doo doo dumb. In Frisco Driving with Dre listening to his upcoming album hell I get it I wouldn't believe it. We finally get to Mex house at this point I'm dam near passed out. Dre and the 2 homies carry mex upstairs. They come out and they conversating in front of the car. Dre comes up to the window and asks if I can drive like drive drive. Confused and 100% lying I said yeah. That man throws me his keys and tells me to follow them. I start the car he pops his head out the Jag and asks you know where the gas station off Geneva at? I said yup He said meet us there. Then the man gassed tires spinning Dre was gone full gas. By the time I got there Dre was trying to do donuts in the intersection. Sitting there at the stop light dam near forever watching a single man sideshow in a stolen jag. After that I done lost them. Ended up at a pay phone called my auntie for directions to get to her house. Ended up taking the car back to the house we partied at went in Moms was cooking DRe was in the room with her daughter sleep. Put the keys on the dresser wrapped a burrito and left. 3x and the last went to a lowrider show. over the speaker They was announcing the rapper that was in attendance and would be on stage. " Special Guest Mac Dre" Less then a minute later this man sees me in the crowd. Jumps off the stage walks through the crowd and shows love. We ended up backstage. everyone talking I remember Dru Down some how had a lit blunt. After noticing the rotation of such blunt Dre nudges me and started to gesture something. I thought it was like No, but I couldn't understand. My mind was focused on smoking with Dru down, Dre and some other rappers. I go to reach for it and Dre stepped in and grabbed the blunt. I didn't know what to do, but then I noticed Dre was holding it. Never hit it and after awhile he passed it on. He just continued with his conversation. I realized what that man just did for my 18-19 year old ass. Never will I say what rapper was about to hand me that laced blunt. I will say the lowrider show was helled at Consumnes River College. Mac Dre wasn't scheduled to be a performer, but was there and did perform. Look at who was scheduled to perform and you will know,. No doubt That man saved me from a hard future. Changed my life and thought process. Never did he speak about that night with Mex. Never did explain why he intercepted the blunt. Never brought up how much money that man won. What happened to the Jag? All I know is When he needed someone to step in I intercept the glass and gave him water. When he saw me needing someone to save me from a horrible mistake. Dre was there. I met my wife the next day and am still married to her. That would've never happened if I hit that blunt for that I am sure of. The big Homie was right he deserves Respect. I have told my wife and my kids this story. If it wasn't for the 40 bottle you signed just like everyone that read this. More then likely wouldn't believe me. Dre was one of the realest people I know. I respect this man so much I wouldn't lie. Dre I wish I could've introduced you to my wife and say thank you, but after just those 3 random encounters. I know nothing needs to be said. This was my story of Mac Dre and yes it was insanely true.

Thank you for posting this. He shares a lot of wisdom in this interview, great to see it in this quality and in it’s entirety. Also, don’t know if Nickatina reads these but you were (aside from J Diggs on “Don’t Snitch” the only rapper that held your own presence on tracks with Mac Dre - you did that consistently on every track you did together, often bringing the best out of each other in the process. Thank you for this and thank you for contribution to music
@Mac Mike I thought they did Andre N Andre together? According to youtube, it was release before Mac Dre died
@Mac Mike Im not talking about the posthumous album but the one song called Andre N Andre which was released on a Andre Nickatina album from may 2004..and Dre died in november
@Mac Mike See, people are still normal. You are a nice person g big ups.
The song was recorded long before that album
Crazy but the Andre n Andre song is on the album bullets, blunts and a big ol bankroll by Andre Nickatina from 2004. Jus sayin
Much love from the Bay Area ❤️ MAC Dre we miss you !! RIP 😘 💯
Yeee
@@albundygaming Town Bizness!!!!
I remember getting his cassette at a small music store on ocean and mission here in San Francisco.
The part at 07:09 when he's talking about how he loves seeing people from different walks of life vibing to his music, singin word for word. Well fuck, that's me. Shit brought a tear to my eye.
❤️❤️❤️ I'm a 40 years old woman now in 2023 and know Mac"s lyrics word for word, and I learned them 15+ years ago, and NEVER forgot them 🙏🏾
Young Black Brotha will always be my favorite album of all time.
all of our main ones are gone. a memory. a story. a conversation. thankful for these videos.
One of the biggest tragedies in Hip Hop history was the loss of Mac Dre!!! R.I.P. Andre Hicks!!!!
I remember this man was in the rich one day, hopped out his car and yelled out to “i fuck with the rich! Yall got that good weed!” And jumped in the car and dipped hahaha
You can’t mention the Bay without mentioning Dre! 🙏🏽
Lmao am I lying tho be honest! Peasant

@@stavmiguel1125 call kck a shit Hole all you want Kcmo has and always will have much love for Mac and since your undercutting somebody's show of love towards the Mac shows your not in the know so quite acting wak
Mac Dre even helped the sound guys! Humble Man!
As a white boy raised in the Midwest I first heard Dre in the late 90’s and loved his music. When I moved to the bay in 08 I was worried as a white dude bumping mac Dre might be a problem. The 2 years I was there was nothing but love from all types of ppl. Mac Dre brought all races together with his music. RIP king
🙏🏾
I had the same experience moving to the Bay from Redding. Oakland, San Leandro took me in like I was their token white dude. Taking me to a side show but the rolling 30s 40s and 50s. Made some great friends in Oakland.
I love this guy man. Seemed to be really down to earth and he was just out there making music and having fun. R.I.P Dre
My prayers have been answered! I was hoping the HD version of the interview would surface and it did. RIP Mac Dre. I wholeheartedly believe he was gonna be a worldwide superstar.
Thanks for putting this out to the world. Mac Dre will never be forgotten.
A1 since day 1 Dre Dog always an inspiration
Man, that was definitely a hidden gem. Mac Dre was super humble in this interview. Genuine and natural. He never tried to hard to make a good song, it was all natural to him. God bless your soul and thank you for the gift of your good music Mac Dre. Thank you Andre for sharing this.

If it aint a Backwood... it aint all that good!
"If it ain't in a backwood it ain't all that good"-Mac Dre
He predicted migos
LOL I was thinking the same thing when he was talking about how rap changed.
Nah he talking about artists like The Ying Yang twins and Lil John that were huge on the radio when this interview was recorded
@@812skatetreflip Migos is the Ying yang twins of this time
I Saw him Rolling up before the interview, figured I'd Smoke too...

@@Tac-ManOfficial tbr that is really fucking good & both of you damn talented but nobody’s going to fully take yall serious for a few reasons. Like the man said in this interview, if rappers don’t look rich af any possible fans don’t wanna be around it. Fucked up but he was right about that
@@kevindube7096 that’s the truth, you gotta look the part for fans to be interested in simply clicking on the video...I appreciate the listen, and feedback 🙏
The furl, the one and only. Truly miss this guy a lot. Thanks for posting this Nikki

It's nothing but love for the Bay area this man put on for the Bay area I too grew up to this kind of music living out there in Oregon Today year 2023 it's still This Or Die You Beezy 🙌🏽💯👍🏼💪🏽
Most underrated rapper of all time if he was still alive he would be giving everyone a run for there money 💴. Mac Dre is the real deal . Rip furly.
Man, if only he collabed with Treach, that would've been fire💯
I'm glad my brother showed me both Andre Nickatina and Mac Dre when I was a kid. I'm 23 now and still banging to their music.
Thank you!!! lost my copy of "The Gift"
7:00 that makes me feel good. I went to an all boys college prep school in California around ‘00 and ALL YOU HEARD in the parking lot of school was MD. He’s saying that people like us where one of his main motivations for rapping. Rest in Paradise.
My mind goes numb just thinking of what direction the music would've went in if Dre was still alive he was so ahead of his time blessed to have listened anything with his name on it 🙏🏿
Thank you for this Dre Dog !! Rare footage fasho
He's one of the best rappers, nay musicians ever.
RIP brother.
Bout time this full interview has been released. I always seen a blurry ass short clip of this interview but never this full version. Thanks

Man brah I can't believe it been so long since Dre passed. I was 14 when this man died back in 2004, the bay ain't been the same since.. THIZZ IN PEACE 🕊️🕊️ MAC DRE
I miss this era of music. I was only a 9 y.o. kid when he died, I got acquainted w Mac Dre later. But this whole era in general, Rock, Rap etc. It's unbelievable how far off the path we were on... I wish I could hear todays music had we stayed on this trajectory
Why does this look like a Chappelle Show skit lol
this is how all the media looked in the early 2000s lol. Chappelle's Show captured it perfectly.
Salute from your Winston-Salem NC FAMILY... 1st Southern Chapter of Black Panther Party (1969)💯💯💯💯
Much Appreciated Nickatina!! #ThizzInPeaceDre #TheBayWillNeverBeTheSame
That slow fade out at the end hit deep for me
th-cam.com/video/uAykQji15yA/w-d-xo.html

Glad to see this... I wasnt really up on his music before he passed but his movement is still poppin today
Real story Met Mac 3x in my life. When he had to post up at the federal housing on 4&T. in Sacramento. I was a Young Teen. The called us over and popped his trunk. Handed all 12 of us a The Rompilation album. I just remember thinking this man must be trippin to call us over. Not going to say we the worse kind of people. I will say we was ambitiously young. Yeah not going to lie we definitely was looking , but the man just was real. He spoke the language we understood. I remember the big homie. Showing him respect and just walked off. Later on telling us Dre is to be given our respect. 2nd time real story went to a house party in Frisco. I was 16-17 years old. Dre remembered my name. I met him 1x like 3 years ago. Told everyone that respected the way he was treated in the hood and I was to be given the same respect that he was given. I remember first time I ever got that faded. This older mexican dude told Mac that he can out drink him. They was talking back and fourth. The Mex pulled out his wallet with no lie more money than I can count. It got silent I remember thinking that man was going to get robbed. Instead Mac went in his hoodie and dropped all $100. I jumped up off the couch hella excited. Never seen some shssh like this. Mex and Dre was negotiating rules and some how I ended up behind the bar pouring these shots of moonshine that some family member brought from Alabama. This Mex looked like he can drink and after I lost count of the shots and both of them had went into there pockets and pulled more cash. I hate to say it, but I can tell Dre was hitting his limits. 100% the man that showed me respect 30 second after stepping in his presence was not going to win. I remember grabbing the glasses setting the down below the edge of the bar. I filled the mex shot glass with the shine and I noticed a sealed water bottle. Dre's shot glass filled it with water. Put em up. Mex immediately took it. Dre took him around 2 minutes before even putting it took his lips. We all been in this situation you know your not going to win, but you know you have continue. Kid you not He swallowed it bracing for the burn. Till this day I remember his confused face of WTF. He looked up at me. Man I never smiled that hard in my life. I stood there silent while everyone was shit talking, cheering and doing whatever they was doing. Dre just started laughing his ass off. In this moment I met MAC DRE. He looked at his boy told dude hand it to him. The man went into his back pocket with $100's. When you picture Mac Dre and think what it would be like to actually go all out at a party with the legend. Yes I seen it for one night and it was epic. The shots didn't last much longer and in true movie fashion Mex leaned back to take a shot and just kept leaning back. Straight as a board went out. absolute Legendary. I never was given any of that money, but I didn't care the rest of the night was even more insane. The mex was out cold and Big mom's of the house told Dre he did it so he needs to take him home. Dre's homies went into his wallet and got his address from his ID. Went into his pocket snatched the keys. Picked dude up and drug his ass outside and pushed the panic button on the key. Mex was rollin in a brand new Jaguar. They toss em in the back. Both of DRe's homies jumped in the Jag. Dre jumps in the 96 Impala. Next thing I know Dre pulls up to the drive way looks at me and said nothing. I already knew Jumped in he put in a tape said this my new new coming out this year. The man starts wrapping over the stereo. Never said which Album and I was so f'd up I only remember bits of the song it was a moment in time, but i would want to say it was Stupid doo doo dumb. In Frisco Driving with Dre listening to his upcoming album hell I get it I wouldn't believe it. We finally get to Mex house at this point I'm dam near passed out. Dre and the 2 homies carry mex upstairs. They come out and they conversating in front of the car. Dre comes up to the window and asks if I can drive like drive drive. Confused and 100% lying I said yeah. That man throws me his keys and tells me to follow them. I start the car he pops his head out the Jag and asks you know where the gas station off Geneva at? I said yup He said meet us there. Then the man gassed tires spinning Dre was gone full gas. By the time I got there Dre was trying to do donuts in the intersection. Sitting there at the stop light dam near forever watching a single man sideshow in a stolen jag. After that I done lost them. Ended up at a pay phone called my auntie for directions to get to her house. Ended up taking the car back to the house we partied at went in Moms was cooking DRe was in the room with her daughter sleep. Put the keys on the dresser wrapped a burrito and left. 3x and the last went to a lowrider show. over the speaker They was announcing the rapper that was in attendance and would be on stage. " Special Guest Mac Dre"
Less then a minute later this man sees me in the crowd. Jumps off the stage walks through the crowd and shows love. We ended up backstage. everyone talking I remember Dru Down some how had a lit blunt. After noticing the rotation of such blunt Dre nudges me and started to gesture something. I thought it was like No, but I couldn't understand. My mind was focused on smoking with Dru down, Dre and some other rappers. I go to reach for it and Dre stepped in and grabbed the blunt. I didn't know what to do, but then I noticed Dre was holding it. Never hit it and after awhile he passed it on. He just continued with his conversation. I realized what that man just did for my 18-19 year old ass. Never will I say what rapper was about to hand me that laced blunt. I will say the lowrider show was helled at Consumnes River College. Mac Dre wasn't scheduled to be a performer, but was there and did perform. Look at who was scheduled to perform and you will know,. No doubt That man saved me from a hard future. Changed my life and thought process. Never did he speak about that night with Mex. Never did explain why he intercepted the blunt. Never brought up how much money that man won. What happened to the Jag? All I know is When he needed someone to step in I intercept the glass and gave him water. When he saw me needing someone to save me from a horrible mistake. Dre was there. I met my wife the next day and am still married to her. That would've never happened if I hit that blunt for that I am sure of. The big Homie was right he deserves Respect. I have told my wife and my kids this story. If it wasn't for the 40 bottle you signed just like everyone that read this. More then likely wouldn't believe me. Dre was one of the realest people I know. I respect this man so much I wouldn't lie. Dre I wish I could've introduced you to my wife and say thank you, but after just those 3 random encounters. I know nothing needs to be said. This was my story of Mac Dre and yes it was insanely true.
