Mac Dre

The first film to definitively capture the energy and danger of "Hyphy," the Hip Hop youth movement exploding out of the San Francisco Bay Area. Narrated by Oakland native and television/radio personality Sway, this film explores the political, social and musical history behind the culture that popularized ghostriding the whip - walking, running or dancing next to a moving car with no driver.

Bay Area rapper Mac Dre began his career at 18 and quickly became an influential force in early west coast hip-hop. In 1992 he was convicted of conspiracy to commit bank robbery when his lyrics were used against him in court. He left prison with a new lease on life, founded an independent record company, and then was murdered just when he began to emerge as a star. For the first time ever, his mother Wanda reveals the true experiences of a hip-hop legend.

This DVD includes extensive coverage of the Northern California hip hop scene. Step inside the shoes of a rock star trapped in a rap star's body as raving reporter and host Thizzelle Washington (Mac Dre) takes you behind the scenes and reveals ...... The North California Hip Hop scene, urban street brawls, drug abuse, rap videos, and daredevil stunts are all explored through the comical eyes of Thizzelle Washington (Mac Dre). This video magazine of sorts takes the viewer through a wild romp of the the crazy world of TREAL TV.
