Hey SRP

I was doing some reading about Mac Dre on wiki, he seems like an interesting cat, although the description of the music he created doesn't sound so appealing, I wanna give him a try. You know my tastes pretty well by now, where do I start?

there's the discography.... if you're just getting into him start at the beginning. or with the 1st rompalation.

Nah I don't wanna start with some raw rough sounding shit. I wanna know his best record so I can listen to that and then decide if I need to keep going.

That's not plural... lol

YBB ain't rough sounding shit and i bet any MD listener on here and they would co-sign that

nah man thanks for the info, no offense but ill wait until someone who knows my tastes a lil better recs some shit.

IMO Steve, I think you should check out Dre Dog (Andre Nickatina) before you start checking out Mac Dre. Even Powell likes some Dre Dog.

My favorite Mac Dre album is Young Black Brotha...

It's Not What You Say... It's How You Say It ,is one of my favorites as well.

I don't know man.

I would say "Young Black Brotha" is amongst his most balanced records. But joint may sound a bit dated.

For something new I might rec "Ronald Dregan" and then "The Game Is Thick , Pt. 2"

Mac Dre is hit or miss as far as people liking him. I need to get that DVD of American Gangster on it though, the whole store of the Romper Room Gang is interesting.

I say get YBB or his double cd of greatest songs. That one did the job for me and showed a diverse timeline in his music.

Yeah, the greatest hits is tight... some people like albums though.

Check out "It's Not What You Say... It's How You Say It" That shit is tight with few if any tracks to skip. track 9. Always Inta Somethin is one of my favorite tracks.
