EVOLUTION-of Mac Dre

Ande Hicks aka Mac Dre is, no doubt, a rap legend. He first came on the scene back in the late 80's,id say 89-90 with his debut album Young Black Brotha..an instant classic if you ask me. An artist under the Young Black Brotha Records umbrella, Mac Dre quickly put his city of Vallejo on the map, the Crest to be exact..Songs like "Too Hard for the Radio", "Stay on my Toes", "California Livin" and "Im in Motion", just to name a few, made the album a neighborhood banger....backed by the "once" super producer Khyree, the album was a display of hood livin, gangsta pimpin, and overall having fun..
over the years we have seen Mac Dre transform into many different characters..from the intelligent game infested Mac..to the pill poppin stripper pimpin Dre.. but theres no doubt about it, every angle he came from was dope....He had the gift to recreate hiself over and over again..which alot of artist today dont have the ability to do...Im more of an ol school fan myself, but i enjoyed everything Mac Dre had to offer..he was truely an entertainer...he could make you laugh one with one line, then make you think about what your doing with your life the next..
After a couple years behind bars, Mac Dre hit the bay Area music scene like he had never left..droppin the Rompilation, Stupid Doo Doo DUmb, Rapper gone Bad, Heart of a Gangsta Tongue of Pimp, Mad Dre is the Name, and Its Not what you Say, Its how You Say It..this was the post jail Dre, real hard core rap, lots of game, and even more pimpin...then he made his transition to Thizzle Washington, the pill poppin president of the Yay..this was when he made his biggest impact, basically pushin the Hyphy movement to the forefront...he had everyone on pills and drank, wearin stunna shades, dressin retro, and jus not givin a fuck! He dropped The Geneie of the Lamp and Ronald Dregan on the same day..wow..and dat was before Nelly had the idea. At this point Mac Dre really had the Bay poppin, Thizz was on the rise, Treal Tv was the most popular dvd, and his music was heard everywhere from Canada all the way down to Mexico, beleive me..i was there..
Unfortunately at the climax of his career, Mac Dre was gunned down in KC on Nov 1st 2004 after doing a show..It was a sad day in music, especially for the people in the Bay...we had lost a major player on our team, and the loss was felt immediately...artist started poppin up, tryin to wear the shoes of Dre, duplicating and immatating, but none was even close to filling the void..Mac Dre was a legend before he died..its just sad it takes a man like him to die for the Bay to get together and make a statement...if only Dre could be here now...we've seen every side of Dre, the intelligence, the ingnorance, the love , the hate, the good, the bad, and the ugly...but overall, every side of him was something we all enjoyed..and thats why Mac Dre is a legend..and this is how i pay my homage..the evolution of Mac Drizzay.....all damn dizzay!

Youth Empowerment Festival

Today was a beautful day in SF, especially if you were in front of City Hall for the Youth Empowerent festival. Alot of groups came through to support the movement....They had plenty of good food and lots of activities for the young ones. They also had top notch entertainment, from Aztec and Samoan dancers, to Hip Hop acts such as San Quinn, Melina Jones, Ise lyfe, and your truely, BarNone..but the real show stopper was the Betta Betta Boys reppin the United Playas..talk bout killin the stage..they had it under control..the oldest one had to be 11!! they shocked the party..
They also had a kids jumper goin, a rock climbing wall, graf exhibits, and lots of prize give aways..It was a time for the youth to come together and show that they can hold their own. It was a great event and i was very happy to be a part of it..aint nothin like doin it for the kids..thanks to Fredmac & the Giants for lettin ya folx pull through and rock..Im looking forward to doing more events like this..it was a good time out..

EVOLUTION- of Kanye West

I cant deny it..Kanye is a musical genius, but over these past few years we've seen him develop from a pure Hip Hop acrobat..to an autotunic pop artist..and im not mad at that...change is always good as long as its forward proggress..But personally i like the older stuff much better..the soulful sound was undeniable.. He first made his mark on bean's "truth" joint, then he was on "this cant be life" (classic shit) and then he made a huge dent in the game with his production on the Blueprint(Jay's best album)..with songs like "H to the Izzo", "heart of the City" and of coarse "The Takeover" jus to name a few. When he came with the College Dropout Lp i was blown away..The whole shit was bangin! Songs like "Jesus Walks", "2 Words", "Get em High" and "Last Call"..shits was impressive..he dropped Late Registration and Graduation(his 2nd best effort) then he moved on to 808's & Heartbreak..which was cool, but not really my steez..the songs are deep and have some good content, but not my cup of tea..autotune really took over, and hes not the only one..maybe its a sign of the times..the world changes, and with it so does everything else...especially music. so im not mad at his change, quite frankly i think its ill..shows you that with growth comes comes change and development...so heres the transformation of Kanyeezee...
