A Mac Dre biopic is on the way. According to actor/rapper Tray Chaney (The Wire), the Bay Area rap legend will be the subject of an upcoming motion picture.

“I’m a producer on a Mac Dre biopic,” Chaney revealed on DMV Spotlight with Mr. Peter Parker. “It’s a two picture film deal about Mac Dre, his life, his music, how he affected the culture of Hip Hop and some of the artists.”
Chaney will also star as Dre’s friend Curtis “Kilo Curt” Nelson, and he says four cast members from The Wire are part of the production as well. While Chaney could not give up who those particular actors are, he does add that Mac Dre’s mother, Wanda Salvatto, has endorsed the project.

Mac Dre (born Andre Hicks) was killed in 2004. He was 34 years old.

Lol when I looked at the pic of tray Chaney, with his beard or whatever.. I kind of saw a resemblance to the Mac himself. Him playing Kilo kind of threw me for a curve ball?
I agree his name/weight doesn't hold up to other members of th Wire.. Some more distinguished actors with a heavier presence or backing coulda took this an ran within.. But from a outsider/ fan perspective.. I'm just happy that SOMEBODY in th "mainstream" scene gives a shit enough aboutBay Area rap and Mac Dre etc etc enough to push the line for a bio pic.. Now how it actually turns out is another story, but the fact the "dream is still alive" is good enough for me right now.
