yeah alot of people love Mac Dre's music outside of the Bay... but as far as Mac Dre's influence they aint acting the way Bay Area cats act... Mac Dre influenced a whole culture out in Da Bay

Mac's influence is not so much in his life story, riveting as it is, but he was always a well respected rapper, in his earlier days, even out in the east coast. Young Black Brotha is a classic.

Damn
Didn't think east coast cats f*cked with Mac Dre in his YBB days. Was out in Kentucky around 95/96. Louisville cats out in the west end knew about him....
Had me
Yeah they did, even more than Tech 9ne
If he was able to step into the mainstream , he would've been a West Coast legend not just in Northern Cali. Outside of the Bay Area, Mac Dre was underground. I'm in Sac but I didn't know who he was until he died 
But when I peeped his music, I was
If you haven't seen the documentary on him, you're missing out.

Mac Dre will always be a legend out here in the bay (he's like our 2-Pac). Dude has a deep catalog with a lot of underground bay area gems.
He was pretty well known in the places posters mentioned already including Alaska.
Unfortunately his influence was only really felt after his passing. Everybody here was on that "RIP Mac Dre" shyt. Lot of dudes were running around rocking Dre air-brush t-shirts. Dudes swagger jacked his look with the over-sized funny looking glasses and a lot of other shyt. Thizz Ent was eating really good doing shows and dropping CD's on a consistent No Limit in the late 90's wave for a few years after his death.
Shortly after Dre died 40, Short, Quinn, and Mistah Fab (motherfukkers thought he was going to be the one to carry Dre's torch or some shyt) re-emerged and jumped in the hyphy lane heavy.
40, Short, and Fab did some tracks with Snoop and that's how it spread out to LA and shyt.
Than eventually shyt just phased out and was lil jon crunk status.
A lot of out of town rappers come out here and name drop Dre to get a pop out of people. More than half the time, i don't even think these motherfukkers ever even listened to one of his tracks
