^^^^ for real... grow as a fan as he grows with his music
mac dre will never be like he was on stupid doo doo dumb. hes too thizzed out to rap about gangsta shit. so i think you guys should get used to it.
for those who dont like the party style listen to genie of the lamp, most of those songs arent like dreganomics they are more layed back and he just spits it. IMO...lyricly he is on point on both albums and the production on dreganomics is really good if you actually sit and listen to the beats. both albums knock but it just depends on the mood your in which one your gonna listnen to
Real talk!!! That's what I've been saying for several years now...
I remember two interviews in MURDER DOG w/ Dreezy, one from '96 and another from '99. In both, MD said that he learned "not to fuck w/ the police", because even if you're innocent, they'll FIND a way to nail you if they hate you. I could tell from other things MD said in the interviews that he just could NOT "do time", and he indicated that he appreciates his freedom, something that he'd taken for granted before. So, my guess is that MD probably just wants to enjoy his life and have fun rapping--Nothing wrong w/ that if you do what you do well, and he does. And hey--who wants to be bombarded w/ serious/political shit all the time? Sometimes you just want to have fun...
The only two CDs of his that I couldn't get into were MAC DAMMIT MAN & FRIENDS, which was badly recorded and lazily rapped, and the original 2000 version of HEART OF GANGSTA-MIND OF HUSTLA-TONGUE OF PIMP--the one that had only eight songs and four instrumentals, although the 2003 remix/reissue with four new bonus songs and cleaned-up sound was a big improvement (wonder why MD couldn't have done that w/ the first version of that CD! LOL! Oh, well)...
But yeah, opinions are all a matter of personal taste. I know one thing--when I picked up my copies of the new MD CDs and took them to the cashier girl, she cracked up when she looked at the covers and couldn't stop laughing! LOL! Hey--MD must be doing something right, huh? YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
PEACE!
