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.

Mac Dre Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Here's a little something about me da mac
I like the low cut jeans where you can see the crack
Get drunk off the priv, the heem, the yak
Then drink a double shot to bring me back
Im from where you never see a seed in the sack
The bay boy and dre boy is bringin it back
Im hella suffa, whats the meanin of that?
[Verse 1:]
Call me mr Kleenex, I'm so cold
Icy wrists like I've been making snow cones
Wassup homes, what size them rims is?
TWENTY TWO, muthafuckin inches
Seats big as benches, I neva touch wrenches
The only work I do is working these bitches
My palm itches that means money
Have you ever seen bling, bling when it aint sunny?
This aint funny they cant hold me down
Big bad wolf cant blow me down
Every bad bitch wanna blow me now
Oh you know me now oh you my homie now
I get dumb stooey in yo face
Hop out the benz wit the Louie briefcase
Cheapskate, fuck the price
You aint really cool if you aint got ice
[chorus]
[Verse 2:]
Dre gets whips shipped fresh off the dock
A mafia type, drink scotch on the rocks
The weed man love me, I cop quarter pops
Do a donut on the cops, fuck the shocks, make the car hop
Shake me locks, all the hoes jock
I make them robots, they bring me swoll knots
I bring them show knocks, boy Dre spit heaters
Fo' door mop' shots, dont fuck wit two seaters
I fuck wit two heaters identical twins
And if I aint feelin' the hen, man I'm killin the gin
Rhyme stealin' agian,
Dime stealin' agian,
Stab the blood out a nigga like I'm still in the pin,
Ughh,
Elvis ex-b,
Fuck her if she sexy,
I fuck with [? ] up,
Fuck with quinn and messy,
C.R.E.S.T. the bay I'm mapin' this,
Niggas start slappin' this,
Asapin' this,
[chorus]
[Verse 3:]
Man there go the police,
I'm not trippin',
I'm too legit to quit an I'm sqeaky clean pimpin',
If they see me when I'm dippin' I got L's to bargin(?),
An a square bitch with me to the take the charges,
I'm fly as a partridge,
Keep an extra cartridge,
Down like linoleum,
Rugs an carpets,
When I park it,
Ughh,
The benz rims still spin,
An on market an o'farrell,
I still pimp,
You still rent? I got four payed fo',
It's mac dre-ghost,
Takin' yo pesos,
Cause I like gravy on my potatoes,
Rap an break hoes, that's how my day goes,
On fire like Diego, I'm outta control,
An like KC cheese, I'm on a roll
I'm on a roll like the greyhound bus,
The hoes hound us, an always surround us,
The adam's marked suite, is where they found us,
It's home run hits, no flys or groundaz.

This one of the most lyrically hard track put out! Just listen and you would agree!
glitch
I am from tucson went to California were I was out with a friend and saw him one time. It was by far one of the best party's I ever went to. I liked him so much I had my friend send me his music cuz we could not get him a state over. Very first bay rapper tape was when I was 11 and Too Short. Only thing you could get was signed rappers like E40, The Click , Spice and Rappin 4-Tay. Unless you had a way to import from The Bay. He was gigantic being underground imagine If he had the type of exposure the big name people had. Amazing talent.
