that ain't no fucking REAR of the YEAR!!! BOOOOOOOO!!!!!......
Na. Rear of the year, is some weak ass (get it) award the some fools dreamt up, to give out to lame female celebs, who generally only have one thing behind them, their careers.
Since yesterday was the anniversary of his murder, I played a Mac Dre tribute set on my radio show yesterday.
Afterwards someone sent me this:
This is from Rick Ele, ubiquitous KDVS DJ.

Mac Dre--nee Andre Hicks--busted into the pizza place where I worked when I was a kid.?? He and his buddies had a gang called the Romper Room Gang, and they were robbing pizza places up and down I-80 from Vallejo to Sacramento, and then making tapes where they'd rap about it.?? The tapes were actually used as evidence in Mac Dre's prosecution.
The funny part is that they tried to be all Mission Impossible-style when they broke into our pizza place.?? I worked at one of those delivery-only places.?? It was tucked away in amongst some warehouses on a seldom-traveled road on the outskirts of Fairfield.?? The Romper dudes could've just walked right in the door with their guns, but instead they forced their way in through the roof via a ventilation duct.
I was working the oven in the midst of a dinner rush--maybe it was a Monday Night Football crunch, but it was really busy--and we almost didn't notice the noises coming from the top of the building.?? It sounded like someone was scrabbling at the locks of the rear garage. Finally, we heard a really loud boom and klanging noise as the grates below the ducts were kicked out and Mac Dre and Co. landed on them.
My friend Nathan claims to have actually seen them hit the floor, and said they tried to land on their feet like paratroopers, but they landed and rolled clumsily before ambushing us.?? They had a rope with a hook on the end fashioned out of a garden tool or something.?? But they didn't have enough rope.
They ordered Nathan to open the till for the cash as the rest of us were waved into the walk-in refrigerator with the barrel of a gun. Maybe that was Mac Dre...I dunno.?? But I think Mac Dre was the one getting the money from Nathan.
The other Romper Room guys shut the door behind us, but they didn't know how to lock the door because the pin had been missing for a while.?? We used to lock it with a screwdriver that we kept back there, but they didn't figure it out.?? It didn't matter anyway 'cos we were too scared to come out until they were long gone.
Nathan came and opened the door to tell us the coast was clear.
None of us knew who Mac Dre was at the time.?? A few days later, however, local news reported the rash of armed burglaries attributed to Vallejo's Romper Room Gang.?? They also hit a few donut shops in Fairfield and Vacaville.
The funny part is that they tried to be all Mission Impossible-style when they broke into our pizza place....?? The Romper dudes could've just walked right in the door with their guns, but instead they forced their way in through the roof via a ventilation duct.
The Romper Room pizza restaurant robbery is a much funnier story than this one:
