R.I.P. Mac Dre


Mac Dre – “2 Hard 4 The Fuckin’ Radio“
from Young Black Brother (Strictly Business, 1993)

Vallejo legend Mac Dre was tragically murdered in Kansas City yesterday. Rest In Peace.

Who? Here’s a usenet post that breaks it down for you in the simplest (and realest) terms

Perhaps a week long Young Black Brotha Records feature is in order?

–
And so on, and therefore, and such and such:

Stickershockmusic – Sasha Frere-Jones, Dave Tompkins, Hua Hsu & Jeff Chang linked up for an mp3 blog. In other words, errybody else – step up your blog game, now!

New Busdriver album, Fear Of A Black Tangent, dropping in Feb/March on Mush. Guest Shots from Mikah 9, 2 Mex, Abstract Rude and Ellay Khule. Production from Paris Zax, Daedelus, Omid, Danger Mouse & Thavius Beck. Mush has even got an mp3 of “Avantcore” for download. And it’s over a Parappa The Rapper beat. Seriously. “When i say boom boom boom/ you say bam bam bam/ no pause inbetween / c’mon let’s jam / step on the gas..”

Gelandweave straight killing it with the early master p joints! I’m gonna have to see their Mama’s Bad Boy and raise them The Ghetto’s Tryin’ To Kill Me sometime later this week.

R Kelly drama escalates to him getting kicked off the Jay-Z tour. Hear Jay Speak on it. And now Kells is suing. All I have to say is that hologram split album cover is some creepy shit.

You can listen to the new Edan mixtape, Sounds of The Funky Drummer here, sounds pretty hot, but i wouldn’t recommend paying to download it from that suspect bootleg website.

    Yes a YBB feature would be really, really nice. Matter of fact, why not feature the other bay crews/labels? Get Low, No Limit (when Master P actually repped Richmond), In A Minute, etc. Shit would be hot.

    RIP DRE.

    My people in KC are taking this hard, on or above a 2pac level.
