I realize that I really don't need to post this here, but I am going to anyways.
Everyone who is planning on attending this:
PLEASE keep in mind, all though you are going to pay respects to Mac Dre, there is still a mother, brother and daughter mouring Andre Hicks. This is bigger than our favorite rapper being killed. He had a life outside of the rap game, and we all need to be respectful of that. We are very blessed to be allowed to have the opportunity to have one last look at Dre, and to say our final goodbyes. This is very hard for those of us who actually knew Dre, and spent time with him. As fans, you have no idea what the rest of us are going through. Please remember to be grateful that the family is allowing us this chance, which they didn't have to do. The expense to the family for having this function is huge, and its all for the fans. The actual funeral will take place at a different time, and it is going to be a private affair. There is a very tight list of people who will actually be allowed to attend. No one not on the list will be admitted to the church. PLEASE be aware of this, and even if you do come up on the info for the funeral, stay away. In a time when the family is going through a tremendous amount of grief, they don't need fans at the service trying to cause a scene to get in. ITs not gonna happen. Just for the record, a lot of people who have worked with Dre in the past, and even some of the cuddies, who grew up right on the block next to Dre, are not invited. Also, please maintain a degree of class and dignity at the veiwing. Please, no sideshows, don't bring cameras or video cameras, don't be hyphey, don't come up slumping your music, be respectful. This is not a club, a concert, a show...it is a time to mourn. There is a time and a place for everything. This is going to be an open casket veiwing. I am not sure how many of you have actually seen a dead body before, but please prepare yourself for what it is going to be like to see The Mac Named Dre with no life in him. Its not going to be easy. We are in the process of planning many memorials and tributes to Mac Dre, but, if you can't control yourselves at the Church, how should we feel about puttin on more functions for you guys to remember Dre??
