i work at a middle school in san diego as a tutor for 7th and 8th graders, who love 50 cent and g-unit and all that good stuff and think its weird that i dont like that shit and listen to music theyve never heard of. however, today they were asking me what "zion i" on my shirt was and when i told them a rap group from oakland, some kid goes "are they underground rappers like mac dre?" when that fool said mac dre, every kid in the class got all excited talking about how mac dre is tight this and that. i was shocked all these kids knew who mac dre is and learned that they play thizz dance on the hip hop radio stations down here all the time.
so it got me thinking. how far can mac dres current popularity be taken? could thizz ent release a mac dre music video or something? have a thizz dance video playing on trl and shit. but since hes dead i dont know if that could or would be done. if youve attracted the 12-14 year olds, thats basically the solidifier that youre ready to go big. and thats really all it would take to bring the bay back. dont get me wrong though, im not suggesting it be done. just learning all these kids who buy the gunit cds are now offical mac dre fans got me wondering
