i didn't read all the posts, i'm just throwin my 2 cents in there...i'm young and i haven't been up on Dre for long...i first got a taste of Dre when "Mac Dre's The Name" dropped...me and my boywere the only ones really listenin to Dre and like chuck taylor, when we'd try to put somebody up on it they wasn't tryin to hear it...but 2 years after Thizzelle Washington and "Thizzelle Dance" dropped everybody hopped on his nuts like he was new...and i also can't listen to any of his (new) shit anymore, cuz its played out within about 2 weeks from all the "newcoming" playin it...i can only listen to the "It's Not What You Say, It's How You Say It" days and earlier...and like mrskrilla said, the same thing happened wit Pac & Biggie...but fuck it...i'll stick wit the old Mac Dre shit, that'll never get played out...
