HE SEEN THE POTENTIAL IN 2CHAINZ N WANTED TO SIGN HIM .. LUDACRIS WAS HOLDIN HIM BACK ALL THOSE YEARS, HE COULDNT RECOGNIZE THE CHARISMA CATS LIKE 2CHAINZ AND MAC DRE HAD.

off the strength of Tit being Ludacris's friend and being signed to Def Jam...

that looks like gold to any struggling artist...

straight money move to network Dre and his label into a bigger situation...2Chainz wasnt fukking with Dre or the Bay like that...

I always wondered but too many signs to confirm it...

why is dude wearing Mac Dre's outfit...hair twisted up like Dre...talking like Dre...AND they chose a Bay Area artist to do the part...

very disrespectful but the fact of the matter is Dre had fallen off at that point and was seen as a weirdo. Of course many of the styles and dances eventually caught on after his death.

Here is a video of him performing in 04....there were people who knew him because of his history but he wasnt as huge as many make it out to be back then. Even considering being underground wasn't the thing to be in the early 2000's.


Mac Dre was hitting his peak in 2004.

fixed.

His biggest songs while he was alive were California Living & Too Hard For the Radio those made him a Bay Area staple.



He was on his way back up there in 04 but he didnt surpass his previous peak until after he died.

His comeback was > then his rise - he was the center of a movement that went mainstream soon after his death

Big and known are two different things...

I will use Big as another definition of being hot to make this case..

in the early 90's Mac Dre was big/hot....after that he was well-known, many of the younger generation heard of him but he didnt have anything to surpass his early Khayree work.

Even Khayree complained they didn't play his music on the radio until after he died.

He was. But the fact of the matter of people actually buying CD's in those days and Ludacris going 3-4 times plat and Dre barley selling 20k.

in 2002, 20k sales from someone thats been around 10+ years = struggling artist
