Edit: I didn't add Tale of 2 Andres for a reason. It's a cool lil mixtape but that's all it is. It's just tracks cut short from other albums thrown together with a couple Dre Dog/Mac Dre collabs. Bored as fuck so I figure I'd write this up for people who ain't up on game on the cuddie.

This will just focus on his albums while he was alive (2 of 'em from right after his death) and I'll list the street hits off 'em. I've been listenin to Mac Dre since I can remember.

My sisters got his first tapes when they came out and I been hooked ever since. At the time we lived in Oakland but some shit happened and I moved to North Vallejo and really got put up on game there. First off is his debut the Young Black Brotha demo 1989 Only 4 tracks but two tracks on that tape really put his name out in the streets. Those two would be put on his Young Black Brotha album 3 years later but this tape and those tracks were gettin some major play in the streets building up his rep in The Bay. California Livin EP 1991 Just another short tape to put his name out there.

Had 2 classics on it tho. What's Really Going On? 1992 Dre's next tape before his debut album featured some tight tracks and some were put on the debut.

By this time his name was gettin bigger from the Romper Room robberies, VPD, FBI, America's Most Wanted and Unsolved Mysteries. He was also funkin with E-40 and the Hillside hood and they traded a few disses. This is also where he released 'Punk Police' talkin bout Vallejo PD investigating him and the Romp. Back N The Hood 1992 Dre went down for conspiracy of trying to rob a bank along with around 50 other people from the Crest thanks to snitch Corey Dunn who is no longer on this planet.

He recorded this over the phone at Fresno County while awaiting trial. This shit was hot in the streets, Dre's name was pretty big in the Bay with all the news covering his arrest and the fact that he released this while being locked up awaiting trial created a big buzz about this release. Young Black Brotha: The Album 1993 So after spendin a year and some change sittin in county awaiting trial he was finally sentenced to 5 in the feds and they released his debut album which was mostly all the shit on his previous tapes along with some unreleased shit. Everyone was waiting on this and the streets loved it.

This would be the last time we heard anything from Mac Dre for a minute and he'd miss out on The Bay blowing the fuck up nationwide. Mac Dre Present's The Rompalation 1996 A compilation album featuring JT The Bigga Figga, Dangerous Dame, PSD, Dubee, Mac Mall, San Quinn, Young Lay, Messy Marv, N2Deep, Baby Bash with Mac Dre all over it. This shit dropped and got ate up everyone was excited to hear some new Mac Dre after all that bullshit happened. Some real Bay classics are on this. I'll only list the slaps with MD on 'em. Khayree's The Blackalation 1997 Comp album released by Khayree who pretty much produced all of Dre's shit up until The Rompalation. They had a falling out after Dre got out the pen.

Dre felt Khayree and Mac Mall didn't show enough appreciation or love to him while he was inside. The whole CD is great and shows off Khayree's production skills. Stupid Doo Doo Dumb 1998 Finally after all those years he drops his 2nd solo album. Niggas in The Bay went crazy. Classics on here.

Rapper Gone Bad 1999 This is tied for my favorite album. Slaps front to back classic bay area mobb shit. Also the first time Dre collab'd with someone from the Hillside (E-40's cousin B-Legit) after the Crest and Hillside have been funking for so long. You can tell prison is still fresh on his mind.

Videos For: Mac Dre Livin It Free

Heart of a Gangsta, Mind of a Hustla, Tongue of a Pimp 2000 This album got some funny production and was rushed but there's still some slaps on here. The fool that ran the label Dre 'released' this on fucked Mac Dre out of $$ and released this before Dre was finished/happy with it. They re-released it later on tho. This is also where Hyphy first started comin out. Mac Dre's The Name 2001 This ties Rapper Gone Bad with my fave Dre album.

Solid shit all around. It's Not What You Say, It's How You Say It 2001 Dre droppin shit steady now. Still not gettin a lot of love outside the hoods but his name is gettin a lil bigger. Cutthoat Committee - Turf Buccaneers 2001 Mac Dre formed a group with his niggas Dubee and PSD and released this hood classic. Thizzelle Washington 2002 This is when Dre started bustin out the hyphy shit and drop after drop of some hood classic albums his name started gettin known outside of the hood.

Al Boo Boo 2003 Dre went hard as fuck on here and this is when I started noticing the suburban white boys bumpin his shit lol so he was blowin up outside the hood. Ronald Dregan 2004 Dre dropped this and 'Genie of the Lamp' on the same day and 'The Game Is Thick Vol 2' a few months later. All slappers.

He was ready to blow the fuck up and gettin some radio play in the Bay. The Genie of the Lamp 2004. The Game Is Thick Vol 2 The last album he released before he got killed. Dre was pushin hard in 04! He released this shit just a few weeks before he got killed.

Da US Open 2005 Man this nigga had this shit just waitin to be released too and another Cutthoat Committee album before he died after all the stuff he was pushin out in 04. Mac Mall/Mac Dre collab. Also the first time E-40 and Mac Dre recorded something together squashing a long time beef.

this is off an older Mac Mall CD but they threw it on this. Cutthoat Committee Money Iz Motive 2005 They added Mac Mall on here to make up for all the tracks without Dre on 'em. Really wish he was alive to put this one together all the way but it still had some good tracks on it.

The Features/Random Tracks I'll just add some slappers that Dre was on from other albums thru his career or any other track released after he died. Fuck that took forever. That's it, a guide to The Mac Named Dre.
