At first, he went by Dr. J — inspired by his basketball hero, Julius Erving (my Dad played high school ball against him). After receiving a Masters in Mixology, Andre Young became a Doctor.

Dr. Dre is one of the most important West Coast persona’s in the history of hip hop. He made waves with the World Class Wreckin’ Cru; then said “Fuck tha Police” with N.W.A. Then Dre formed his own label, releasing his solo efforts and launching a prolific career as a producer, overseeing superstars including Snoop and Em… for Dre, it’s like this, it’s like that, and like this and uh.

“Stompin on the ‘Eazy’est streets that you can walk on”; time to get a quick plastic sketch done.

“Or though I was a mark cause I used to hang with Eazy”; laying down the sketch, keeping it breezy.

“Cause I’ma rob you in Compton and blast you in Miami”; time to collage, headlines bleeding.

“Well I’m peepin’, and I’m creepin’, and I’m creep-in'”; wait just one more process shot to see him.

“You know, and I know, I flow some ol funky shit”; add Dre to my collection, a series seven selection.

“It’s where it takes place so I’m a ask your attention”; ragin’ like a motha fucka, time to paint the face in.

“Bitch can’t hang with the streets, she found herself short”; Working colors into the background, some headlines to abort.

“So if money is the root I want the whole damn tree.”; time to rip the dimensions, one, two three.

“Young black Rockerfeller. Hell, a swiss and mozarella.”; two more tones and you can see the face better.

“Things just ain’t the same for gangstas.”; headlines are changin’, paint colors a’blazin’.

“I’ve seen ’em come; I’ve watched ’em go,”; watched Dre rise, squinted eye on the left, disrupt the flow.

“Then they wonder why we act so outrageous,”; paint around, not stressed, tear up New York Post pages.

“Ladies, they pay homage, but haters say Dre fell off”; but how critics, time to make visual chronic.

“Got the pens and pencils, got down to business; but sometimes the business end of this shit can turn your friends against you”; sad but very true, here’s some aqua marine, green blue.

“Eazy-E’s Ice Cube’s and D.O.C’s and Snoop D O double G’s And a group that said muthafuck the police”; NWA at the crease.

“It literally feels like a lifetime ago, but I still remember the shit like it was just yesterday though”; Dr. Dre joins the hip hop canvas show.
