Best mac dre albums mac#
But don't be mistaken, Mac Dre does mack on track but he does this better than most cats rap. Lyrically Dre might not be appealing to all rap fans as he isn't Talib Kweli or Common on the mic, Dre is all about repping his hometown and spitting game on a track. Mac Dre has always stayed true to this formula and his greatest hits sum up that love for all that is funky. At times the music is sample heavy, explaining its resemblance to funk tracks from back in the day, but over the years bay area music has developed its own identity as the new age funk for the next generation. Some of the tracks even sound like something straight out of the 70s and 80s. On the musical side of things, expect a thick slab of bass paired with tight snare-heavy drum tracks and funky musical samples to top it all off. This isn't the usual g-funk associated with Cali, but a grimier, almost dirty type of funk that embraces the gangsta/mackin' lifestyle that Dre leads. Appropriately, 8 out of the 32 tracks on this set come from Mac Dre's classic debut CD "Young Black Brotha: The Album."įor those not familiar with Mac Dre or bay area rap in general, this music is all about the funk. Mac Dre also makes sure to include songs from his entire career, aside from his slew of current releases, the set contains songs from each of his solo albums and a few compilations. The quantity aspect of this collection definitely earns its keep as Dre includes 32 tracks on 2 CD's, each lasting roughly 70 minutes. Aside from obviously earning a "best of" album, this CD is also the perfect gift to his fans, especially those outside of California who may find it hard to track down every one of Dre's multiple CD's. With over 10 years in the game and well over 10 albums, compilations, and collaboration albums to his name, Mac Dre's "Best of" is definitely overdue. This double disc set is titled "Tha Best of Mac Dre," not "Mac Dre's Greatest Hits," and it's very likely Mac Dre did this on purpose. While some may argue against this statement, Mac Dre seems to be embracing his underground status and lack of commercial exposure on his latest release. You can't have a greatest hits CD without any actual hits. 2008: Welcome to Thizz World Volume 2.Mac Dre :: Tha Best of Mac Dre :: Thizz EntertainmentĪs reviewed by Pedro 'DJ Complejo' Hernandez.
