Whenever folks discuss Rap's greatest EP's, Mac Dre's 1989 to 1992 trifecta of Extended Plays always get slept on like they're made from memory foam. Lord knows why because all three EP's are sicker than SARS, Dre with Khayree behind the boards was one of Rap's best Rapper/producer combinations, and their debut extendo Young Black Brotha is the de facto best Rap EP of the 80s with all slaps and no skips. F*ck the world and anyone who underrates Furl, history has got shit twisted like a Jheri curl.

Kitted when you see me: Kilo Curt & Dre's people are now selling Thizz Face protective masks. Capitali$m ain't dead, it just moved from selling Ecstasy to Coronasploitation.


Bonus beats: School of Dumb Knocks.

    If you have time and already know/have everything Mac Dre has done.
    Check out more footage on Gary Baca's channel because he has studio performances from legendary acts like Freddie B, Funky Aztecs, Ray Luv and so much more.

  7. Back N Da Hood, an ep recorded from jail, is not graded on a curve it's just incredible, who the fuck else can say they've accomplished something like that. Half the songs are him one take don't stop rapping over a phone like. Madness.

    Like listen to `93 n tell me who the fuck made realinstruments beats

  8. I agree fully, I'm N Motion is one of my fave Dre songs.

    But Dre rapping over the phone is an acquired taste innit? Whereas I'd put the first 3 EP's up against any of the great EP's by Cube, Pete & CL, Beatnuts, Bone etc etc.

  11. I mean true but that one instantly converted to phoneraps after x-raided repeatedly failed to n hes v good

    All the Dre eps are elite level n i hope rappers stick w the ep trend its the best. Like aside from maybe Al Boo Boo the best dre tape is Heart Of A Gangsta imo n that’s basically ep length.

    Multiple 20-40min tapes a yr like funk bands or w e did in the 70s/rappers did in the early 80s>>>>>>
