Career
Mac Dre's music gained popularity in the early to mid 1990s throughout the Bay Area, eventually receiving national recognition through his independent record labels Romp and Thizz Entertainment. He released many hit singles, such as "Too Hard for the Radio", and most recently "Feelin' Myself". He was the creator of the "Thizzle Dance", a popular dance which holds no specific standard. Hardship and controversy were staples of Mac Dre's career. After recording his first three albums between 1989 and 1991, Mac was charged with conspiracy to commit bank robbery. His record label, Romp Productions, and his many references to "Romper Room" in his songs, coincided with a Vallejo robbery gang of the time calling themselves the "Romper Room Gang" and responsible for the robberies of many area banks and pizza parlours. Hicks was alleged to be a member of the gang. The rapper was sentenced to five years in prison in 1992.
In prison, Hicks gained some notoriety by recording the lyrics to songs directly over the Fresno County jail inmate telephone. His album, Young Black Brotha, was a result of such efforts, as well as guest appearances on fellow artists' songs, all while Hicks was still imprisoned. A later album, Back 'N Da Hood, was also made up of these prison-recorded songs.
After his release from prison in 1996, Mac Dre began releasing albums steadily, building pace in the early 21st century. Mac Dre's audience was growing, and mainstream hip-hop stations were beginning to give Hicks' music more airtime. Hicks relocated to Sacramento, California in 2001, where he began a label, Thizz Entertainment.
Death
On November 1, 2004, Mac Dre was shot to death while returning to his hotel after a performance in Kansas city. A car pulled up next to the white van carrying Dre along with other Thizz artists. Whether words where exchanged or not, the ordeal ended in the bloodshed of a bay area rap legend. The van swerved off the road and into a ravine where it ran into a tree. Word is that Dre was thrown from the van, but officials say they found him in the front seat, dead on arrival. Some believe that Mac Dre's killer was Kansas City rapper Anthony "Fat Tone" Watkins. In 2005 Watkins was murdered, allegedly by Bay Area rapper Mac Minister. In March 2006, Mac Minister was arrested by FBI officials.

My name is furl, I'm the owner of the bill'n
I'm a stoner and I'm chillin with two bitches like Jack
I pimps and I macks drive a Benz and a 'lac
Man I've been in the back wit the groupies and the stars
I've been out front with the thugs in the cars
I've been in the yard with the Mexican mafia
And I only run with niggaz that'll kill and die for ya
But I live like a rock star running from the cop cars
I drop bars wit slaps that Knock hard and I charge for this dick extra large
I'm sicker than sars higher than mars and I treat my bitch like an ATM card

My shit version of this song -
I’m filling the bowl, bout to go to the ceiling, my names Mac, I take a dump in your building,
I’m an eater and I’m chilling with two combos from Jack,
I’m eat and I Mac, drive a Hyundai that’s wack,
Man I’ve been in the Olive with the endless bread sticks,
I’ve been in the the store with the candy necklace,
I’ve been on the job with the pizza next to me,
And I only snack with people who eat in ecstasy ,
I’m sexy B., I’m an eater
But I live like a feeder hungry as a cheetah,
Ima cheater, free sampler greeter,
Twice repeater, but free tastes sweeter,
Thirsty buy a liter, fatter than a Peter,
And much thanks to all non-bitch readers,
I’m in some buildin’ and I’m shitting myself, dude I’m shitting myself,
I’m some buildin’ and I’m shitting myself, dude I’m shitting myself,
I’m in some buildin’ and I’m shitting myself, dude I’m shitting myself,
I’m some buildin’ and I’m shitting myself, dude I’m shitting myself,
She’s in the building and she’s shitting herself,
I got Depends and I’m willing to help,
Stop it lady, you’re filling the shelf,
Come on I got some rags you can clean it yourself
I’m shitting myself too,
Dude, just imagine some of the things we can doo,
Corn in the zoo
Corn in the poo,
Then we can’t get some more wet wipes before 2,
We can hit the Wendy’s and go get some shakes
And if you still ain’t full then we can go get a steak,
It won’t cost you much, I’m a good guy
Costco discount, chicken for $5,
What do I like like Mr. Pay in Full Nerd?
Wake up chick! Time for early bird
Dine the fuck out!
Bitch I need a new belt.
I’m full as shit and I’m shitting myself,
I’m in some buildin’ and I’m shitting myself, dude I’m shitting myself,
I’m some buildin’ and I’m shitting myself, dude I’m shitting myself,
I’m in some buildin’ and I’m shitting myself, dude I’m shitting myself,
I’m some buildin’ and I’m shitting myself, dude I’m shitting myself,
I’m a West Coast Fat Fuck,
I represent it,
Mac, that’s a food truck, is it rented?
Jaja ja, ja, very absurd,
You know that I prefer,
My chiles stirred,
My stomach is craving,
I’m saving and taking, to go boxes home, then I am re baking,
I am my own cake king, bet you ima bake it,
I switch cakes and eat with two plates
I pack a cooked steak, I eat for two dates,
They ain’t doing it right if they’re watching their weight,
And I’m watching mine, growing all the time, wine?
I thought bro’s, stayed fit?
Your nothing but a jit, with a small size outfit,
I’m just saying quit,
I’m Mr. Smooth King,
Quit interrupting the buffet lines moving
I’m in some buildin’ and I’m shitting myself, dude I’m shitting myself,
I’m some buildin’ and I’m shitting myself, dude I’m shitting myself,
I’m in some buildin’ and I’m shitting myself, dude I’m shitting myself,
I’m some buildin’ and I’m shitting myself, dude I’m shitting myself,
- nothing but love for Mac Dre and da bay! Yee! My song is just for fun. Positive energy, peace and blessings to you!
Hey! Anyone in the bay want to help make a real version of this with me. I’m in the Valley jo area! So let me know. Cheers!
