:sadwavey:

disrespect

i have never even heard of him orestes, but it always sucks when somebody dies. I dont listen to rap so thats probably why ive never heard of him...

"another fast brother shot dead on the streets"

bdp.

lol i heard there's an Unsolved Mystery thing on him, if you can catch that lol.. but he was extremely popular locally and just starting..... to blow up bigtime....its a damn shame how close he was to really take it to another level. its just the media in general didnt report on any of the ups or downs even as much as his death it got like 45 seconds mention on the LOCAL news, just because he was in jail from like '92-'96 (i think) for being associated with a string of robberies and his association with this one gang. it sucks. he was true to himself and his fans for like 14 years (~ '89-ish or maybe '90 to right up when he died) still putting out CLASSIC albums, new sound all the time, tons of dope features on lots of artist's records, had his own label, brought up MANY other talents, did affordable local shows, signed autographs, met up with fans... besides being a part of a long line of boss mackin mother fuckers, he embodies the spirit of every (nor-cal ESPECIALLY) stoner, drug user, (his label was THIZZ ENTERTAINMENT (thizz=ecstacy pills), RAP FAN, he had more lines of rapping per album than 99% of any artist.

he started soooo much just in the last few years, as this whole THIZZ/HYPHY/GO STUPID/GO DUMB yadidadaholla.shit in the bay area was spreading to other artists and producers and was starting to take over the radio.....and then this sh!t 1 year ago. we are left without the best artist we ever put out....

also interesting (and sad) just last night on the 1st in a sort of memorial gathering waaay deep in Vallejo where he was from, some 21 year old kid got killed. no one was arrested. i guess we have to feel blessed we had him for as long as we did....


RIP Cougnut, Mr. C, Hitman, MAC DRE, 2PAC

There's like 30,000 kids that die everyday, we should care about him because he spent 4 years in jail? Whoopee.

OH SNAP!

There's like 30,000 kids that die everyday, we should care about him because he spent 4 years in jail? Whoopee.

did you even read my post? what made you conclude that the time he spent in jail was the most important? i was saying the media didnt like to talk about him because of the jail time.

LMFAO@slidestars post.

Don't let this turn into a flamefest or its closed. psssh, false hope....

I like cheese on Sundays.

While I respect your opinion that cheese should only be liked on sundays, I disagree. Personally, I find cheese to be a tasty solution to my hunger problem on any day of the week. I will further this to say that a good steak with goat cheese will bring any cheese conisiuer to his knees in extasy

steak+beer > steak+cheese

string cheese > *

but back on topic PM me if you would like to hear some of his music, ill send some songs over AIM or something.

No offense to your taste in music...but i personallly hate rap and country which also includes R and B and "Hip Hop...Hip hopanomous Damnit you give him all the easy ones"...Anyways O cant say ive heard of him either. What was he in jail for?

holy shit!!! now thats a classic ghetto blaster. Tape decks own.

I'll admit....i did not know who Mac Dre was when that picture was taken. He was like 19 or 20 in that pic.

Damn my caucasians, that graffiti is pimp.
I have no slightest cluse on who that guy was, all I listen to is Trance and Techn, well also other sh1t here and there.

yeah that piece is NUTS i have yet to go see it in person....anyone who cares its in SF on a 1 way alley between 7th and 8th off Harrison alley is called Langton (im going off the top of my head double check this on B.A.R.T. on siccness.net before u go)

If someone painted a picture of me that looked that retarded I'd be pretty pissed.


Sorry for dumping the haterade but thats pretty lame.

what about it do you find lame

i think they did a fantastic job thats a fucking great mural. heres the pics they were going off of.

I wouldn't park my family van next to that thing. Especially at night, when you can't even see it without a spotlight and a cop car attached to it...

family van??? what the hell are you talking about?

family van??? what the hell are you talking about?

It may be a shuttle but the difference between an van used for jobs and a family van is that a family van has windows on the side doors.

...totally sidestepped my bad-neighborhood joke...

i get it now...but thats not even a bad neighborhood its like between the Museum of Modern Art and SBC Park....its just lots of businesses and stuff....no projects lol.

true. also the artists for that big one in SF were HYDE and GIGS.

Whenever a rapper dies, for whatever reason, they become more popular postmortem and record companies make more money. Makes me fuckin sick

yeah its true i would say thta more people listen to him after he died.

and that first article is easily the best written article about him i've read.

another brilliant article
