Who is Mac Dre?
Mac Dre was born on the fifth of July 1970 in Oakland, he grew
up in Vallejo, California and lived there most of his life.
In 1989 Mac Dre released his first album, an EP titled 'Young
Black Brotha' it had 4 tracks on it and one track ironicly
titled 'Too Hard for the Fuckin Radio' started getting air play
in North Californian radio stations. In 1991 Mac Dre returned
with 'California Livin'' and by the time he released his third
album 'Whats really goin on'(1992) his music was being played
all over Vallejo and North California for that matter. In clubs
and peoples cars, it looked like Mac Dre was going to reach the
big time. But his hopes and dreams were snatched away from him
as he was put into prison as the police believed he was behind a
few bank robberys. Mac Dre was followed 300 miles by police from
the 'Bay Area' to Fresno, his friend was wired and recorded a
conversation which he started asking Mac Dre about the bank
robberys. He was sentenced to five years inprisonment in 1992
for this but he wasn't done making albums yet. 'Back N Da Hood'
was what his fourth album was called, it was an EP which was
recorded from Fresno county Jail by phone. The album shows that
Mac Dre doesn't need lots of takes to have a song the way he
wants it. In the same year he recorded some more songs over the
phone and his record company made an album from them and some of
his previously released songs, the album was called 'Young Black
Brotha: The Album'.
Mac Dre was released in 1995. He got on his compilation 'The
Rompilation' which was released under his new record company
'Romp Records' and sold over 60,000 copies, in the Rompalation
Mac Dre appears on eight tracks alongside some of his 'homies'
such as Mac Mall, Da Unda dog and JT the Bigga Figga. After his
release he started working like crazy on his albums averaging on
two albums a year. His first solo release after his release from
jail was called 'Stupid Doo Doo Dumb', the very same year he
released 'Don't hate the Player, Hate the Game'. In the next
three years that followed he released 11 albums the latest of
them 'Thizzelle Washington' got him the most fans and respect.
In 2003 he made 'al boo boo' which was a cd with a free dvd and
he released a dvd called Treal
TV. His fans loved the dvd as it
opened a window into how he lived his life.
If you ask a fan of Mac Dre whats Mac Dres best album they are
likly to say all of them, this shows the consistincy of his work
it was all fantastic. His career in rap was not a fair one
though, he never got the commercial praise he definatly
deserved. In 2004 Mac Dre released three albums 'Genie of the
Lamp', 'Ronald Dregan: Dreganomics' and 'The Game is thick, Vol
2'. These albums had North California buzzing with excitment
they thought this would be the man to put the spotlight back on
westcoast rap.But this as of now has not happened. On November
1st 2004 Mac Dre was victim of a drive-by on Highway 71, Kansas
City. The incident happened just after a concert he was doing in
Kansas, the shooting was a shock, fans in Kansas enjoyed the
show, noone from Kansas had any right to shoot a North
Californian rapper as the Kansas City rap scene was getting
respect and money from that area. When Mac Dres mother Wanda
Salvatto heard about the shooting she did not believe it. This
was because she was told previously her son was dead from an
overdose of drugs but yet he was fine, other Vallejo residents
did not believe this either and were shocked and sad when they
heard that it was true. Mac Dre was buried at Moutain View
Cemetary, Oakland, CA.
Now in 2005 Mac Dre has many die-hard fans and new ones too, he
is still releasing albums too! 'Da US Open' was released on the
22nd of March it is a collaberation between Mac Dre and Mac Mall
in which they pick up the alter egos 'Andre Macassi' and 'Mall
Macenroe'. Later 'Money iz Motive' was released, it wasn't a Mac
Dre solo it was an album made by the 'Cutthoat Committee' which
Mac Dre was a part of. 'Treal TV 2' is currently in its final
stages before its released, on top of that Mac Dres record label
'Thizz Entertainment' has some unreleased Mac Dre material that
they will be selling in the near future. To Mac Dres fans he
will always be the best rapper from the 'Bay Area'.
RIP Andre 'Mac Dre' Hicks
