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.

Hit the store to get some O.J. to shroom with
Im cuumin, Ooh shitty, I′m in the world's biggest little city
Seen a girl with some big ass titties
Talking all saditty, punk bitch knew she was pretty
Get goosed in the city, get your purse took
When I stepped in her life she felt the earth shook
Before I spit the first hook, let me lace ya
Gave her a taste of some real macaroni
She swore she would do, anything for me
That′s no bologna, baby brought me bread
Freaked me on the freeway on the 80 gave me head
She neva seen, a savage in Tims
Push a S5 sittin' on some Davin rims
Listen, you wouldn't want to miss this
I met this bitch the night before Christmas
Baby made my hitlist Christmas night
She let a nigga hit by Christmas lights
This bitch was tight, just my type
Barely ripe, ride a dick like a bike
Eat a dick like a pipe quick late night hype
Them the kind of thangs that makes my night
The steak ain′t right without the A-1
So I stay dipped in sauce and they come
Like baby did, like that nigga old lady did
Like Karen, Kameka, and Katie did
It′s crazy kid
Mommy on my bozac, I'm pimpin and she knows that, nigga wher the hoes at
Bet they neva seen, a sav in Tims
Push a S5 sittin′ on some Davin rims
Me and black jesus went to Rosaritas
Seen senoritas eating carnitas
I was rocking my adidas sneakers
Told the waitress, "get me fajitas"
Gold teethas, left her speechless
Gave me the number with a Fairfield prefix
Dipped to the cougar, put up the ruger
In the stash spot, a wise maneuver
Put up the cougar, pulled out the MB
California Hot Boy, MD
The boss, that do the firing and hiring
Sweat a broad, I keep them prespiring
She's admiring the way I slide
The way I ride, and her boyfriend lied
She neva seen a sav in Tims
Push a S5 sittin′ on some Davin rims
She only see's me with European keys
She only see′s me with woodgrain sprees
She only see's me with Champelli trees
She only see's me having hella G′s
In Mac Dre's "Hotel Motel" song, the artist describes a night out in August in a city that is both hot and humid. He heads to a store to buy Orange Juice that he will consume while on mushrooms. He then notices a girl who is strikingly beautiful, who is also aware of her own beauty. Mac Dre hints at the dangers of the city, where women can easily get their purses stolen but he makes her feel safe. He sleeps with her and she experiences pleasure like she never has, causing her to swear that she would do anything for him. The artist believes her, stating she brings him bread and performs sexual favors on him while they’re driving on a freeway.
The song also highlights some other events that occurred in the singer's life, including Christmas Eve with a girl who fulfilled all of his desires. He then describes a night out with Black Jesus where they met women at Rosaritas and ate fajitas with the waitress, who gives him her number. Later on, he talks about himself as the boss who hires and fires women, yet at the same time, women admire him for his style and the way he carries himself.
