Life Styles we live make us open to so many things...positive or negitive
The masks we wear put us in so many situations...positive or negitive
As an artist he wore many masks and wore them well, too bad they might have put him in the wrong situation.
As artists we need to take this as an example and think before we do or say things that might get us fucked up in the long run.
He was truly a great and creative man, he will always be one of the most original and loved Bay Legends. RIP MAC DRE
Peace P

Damn one of my all time favorite rappers gone. For all the shit Mac Dre has been through and all that he's overcome he didn't deserve to go out like that. I just moved out of the bay a few months ago & been playing his music all the time and it just makes me feel like I'm home. I hope his unrealesed music will keep coming out like pac. Mac Dre will live on forever in his music, making new fans even after his death. He will truly be missed but I'm sure he's in a much better place...I just pray they catch the little bitches who did this.

According to sources, Vallejo rapper Mac Dre was killed in a shooting and crash in Kansas City Missouri.
Investigators revealed that two men in a car were headed north on Highway 71 near 85th Street earlier this morning when another car pulled up and opened fire.
The driver of the vehicle fired upon went into the southbound lanes and into a ravine. The passenger in the car was killed, but it wasn’t immediately known whether the victim died from the gunshots or the accident.
As of press time, police refused to reveal the victims name and reports suggested the men were from out of town.
Dre was from Vallejo, California. He gained notoriety on the Romp label in an interesting case.
In the mid 1990’s, Mac Dre was accused of being affiliated with The Romper Room Gang, who were accused of robbing a string of banks.
On the back of his What’s Really Going On EP, he acknowledge the Romper Room Family and released a song called “Punk Police.”
He addressed the bank robberies and called out the Vallejo Police Chief by name. A subsequent investigation revealed Dre’s ties to the gang.
He was arrested and charged with bank robbery 1991, when the FBI spotted him riding in a vehicle with one the suspected bank robbers, who was also wired.
He served five years in prison and was released in 1996. Mac Dre, along with such rappers as B Legit, Mac Mall, E-40 and later releases from the Young Black Brotha record label helped put Vallejo on Hip-Hop’s map.
The rapper had released material as recent as 2003.
