Damn
Cliffs but y’all should read it:
A promoter booked Dre for two Halloween shows in KC.
Promoter contracts him for $12k, and gives him 6 bands up front as well as flight, hotel etc with the promise that he’ll perform, do a record store signing, and club walkthrough.
Dre calls one of his friends from KC (big time dope dealer) to set up some car service. His friend contacts another man to be his driver for the weekend.
Dre is basically late or a no show for everything. No showed the club, came mad late to the record signing and stayed for 30 minutes, late to both shows and didn’t even perform at the second show.
Promoter is pissed and contacts Dre’s friend and tells him what went down. Not in the story because it’s some street code talk going on, but promoter basically pays Dre’s friend to get his location on the night of his death so that the promoter can pay two hit men to take him out.
Friend either calls him or is following him (once again street talk don’t know the real story but it sounds like he was behind Dre’s white van.)
Either way friend calls the promoter and gives him the drop and next thing you know Dre is shot up 30 times.
Killers drop the stolen car off and burn their clothes. Witnesses give this info to the police but they don’t act on it for like a whole day.
Promoter starts rumors of Fat Tone killing Dre and half a year later Mac Minister kills Tone in Vegas. Tone is innocent.
In the end Dre is dead, Tone is dead for no reason, Mac minister has life, one of the shooters was killed later, Dre’s friend got a 30 piece in the feds for kingpin charges, and promoter is still free.
Crazy
