R.I.P. Mac Dre
I'm in total shock, Jay Tee...I'd been unable to get onto the Siccness all day on my computer, and I thought it was down again. So, I go to Thizzworld.net to look at the message board, and there's several threads talking about Mac Dre's passing away--I couldn't believe it at first, but one of them showed the reprint from the Kansas City newspaper that first reported the story. AllHipHop.com confirmed it as well, and I finally just got on the Siccness now and have read the posts on BART...this is some fucked-up shit, for real. I just can't imagine someone like Mac Dre being gone...I never met MD personally, but could relate to his funny-but-serious demeanor on records and in interviews. This is a sad day for everyone (fans, rappers, etc.) associated w/ the Bay (and Rap in general, period).
I will definitely say some more stuff about this on the BART board later, but right now, let's all pour out some liquor for MD in his memory. A true pioneer and one of Rap's great free spirits has gone. I will most definitely say a prayer for MD and his family.
R.I.P., Mac Dre. One Love.
PEACE!
