Mac Dre was born on the 5th of July 1970 in Oakland, he grew up in Vallejo, Golden State and lived there most of his life.

In 1989 Macintosh Dre released his first album, an EP titled 'Young Black Brotha' it had 4 paths on it and one path ironicly titled 'Too Hard for the Fuckin Radio' started getting air play in North Californian radiocommunication stations. In 1991 Macintosh Dre returned with 'California Livin'' and by the time he released his 3rd record album 'Whats really goin on'(1992) his music was being played all over Vallejo and North Golden State for that matter. In baseball clubs and peoples cars, it looked like Macintosh Dre was going to attain the large time. But his hopes and dreamings were snatched away from him as he was set into prison house as the police force force believed he was behind a few depository financial institution robberys.

Mac Dre was followed 300 statute miles by police from the 'Bay Area' to Fresno, his friend was wired and recorded a conversation which he started asking Macintosh Dre about the depository financial institution robberys. He was sentenced to five old age inprisonment in 1992 for this but he wasn't done making record albums yet. 'Back Normality District Attorney Hood' was what his 4th record album was called, it was an EP which was recorded from Fresno county Jail by phone. The record album shows that Macintosh Dre doesn't necessitate tons of takes to have got a song the manner he desires it. In the same twelvemonth he recorded some more than songs over the telephone and his record company made an record record album from them and some of his previously released songs, the album was called 'Young Black Brotha: The Album'.

Mac Dre was released in 1995. He got on his digest 'The Rompilation' which was released under his new record company 'Romp Records' and sold over 60,000 copies, in the Rompalation Macintosh Dre looks on eight paths alongside some of his 'homies' such as as Macintosh Mall, District Attorney Unda domestic dog and JT the Bigga Figga. After his release he started working like crazy on his record record albums averaging on two albums a year. His first solo release after his release from jailhouse was called 'Stupid Doo Doo Dumb', the very same twelvemonth he released 'Don't detest the Player, Hate the Game'. In the adjacent three old age that followed he released 11 record albums the up-to-the-minute of them 'Thizzelle Washington' got him the most fans and respect. In 2003 he made 'al hoot boo' which was a cadmium with a free dvd and he released a dvd called Treal TV. His fans loved the dvd as it opened a window into how he lived his life.

If you inquire a fan of Macintosh Dre whats Macintosh Dres best record album they are likly to state all of them, this shows the consistincy of his work it was all fantastic. His calling in blame was not a just 1 though, he never got the commercial congratulations he definatly deserved. In 2004 Macintosh Dre released three record albums 'Genie of the Lamp', 'Ronald Dregan: Dreganomics' and 'The Game is thick, Vol 2'. These record albums had North Golden State buzzing with excitment they thought this would be the adult male to set the limelight back on westcoast rap.But this as of now have not happened. On November 1st 2004 Macintosh Dre was victim of a drive-by on Highway 71, Sunflower State City. The incident happened just after a concert he was doing in Kansas, the shot was a shock, fans in Sunflower State enjoyed the show, noone from Sunflower State had any right to hit a North Californian rapper as the Sunflower State City blame scene was getting regard and money from that area. When Macintosh Dres female parent Wanda Salvatto heard about the shot she did not believe it. This was because she was told previously her boy was dead from an overdose of drugs but yet he was fine, other Vallejo occupants did not believe this either and were shocked and sad when they heard that it was true. Macintosh Dre was buried at Moutain Position Cemetary, Oakland, CA.

Now in 2005 Macintosh Dre have many die-hard fans and new 1s too, he is still releasing record albums too! 'Da United States Open' was released on the 22nd of March it is a collaberation between Macintosh Dre and Macintosh Promenade in which they pick up the change egoes 'Andre Macassi' and 'Mall Macenroe'. Later 'Money iz Motive' was released, it wasn't a Macintosh Dre solo it was an record album made by the 'Cutthoat Committee' which Macintosh Dre was a portion of. 'Treal television 2' is currently in its concluding phases before its released, on top of that Macintosh Dres record label 'Thizz Entertainment' have some unreleased Macintosh Dre stuff that they will be merchandising in the close future. To Macintosh Dres fans he will always be the best rapper from the 'Bay Area'.
