Honestly we never really found out who it was, I think it was most likely for him to be Mike Elizondo, or else some musician that works with Dre. And NO, he was not made up by dubcnn staff lol, who the hell would have the time to come up with all that shit?? Even though I don't know how legit he was I doubt he was an alias, yeah he stayed vague but still, doesn't mean he was completely phony.It is hilarious how he got quoted everywhere as being Mel-Man though! It was all over the place, even on the radio!
I have a feeling mellowman is a character devised by the dubcc higher-ups to give credibility to dubcnn and cause an increase in traffic. That's my theory and I'm stickin to it.
I could sit here and make the same assumptions this muthafucka did. He was a scam artist, Miss Cleo style.LOL @ all these cats like giving him all the respect in the world actin like his threads were the holy grail. If anything, he was the janitor at the studio cleaning out the toilet bowl Dre just shit in.

Wait up...Dre-Day tracked down the producer of a 1992 documentary to ask him if part of an old unreleased Dre track was used in the background somewhere? That's dedication lol
Just did a IP-check on mellowman, it resolves to Iowa Telecom..
I was mellowman. I dont know who mellowman is back was though.
The other DOC remix I forgot wasn't The Whirlwind pyramid, it wasPortrait of A Masterpiece remix (The only Dre produced house/techno beat ever)
D.O.C., The - Portrait Of A Masterpiecehttp://www.discogs.com/DOC-Portrait-Of-A-Masterpiece/release/556433Tracklisting:A1 Portrait Of A Masterpiece (CJ's Ed-Did-It Mix) (4:40) Remix - CJ Mackintosh A2 Portrait Of A Masterpiece (CJ's Ed-Did-It 7" Mix) (2:57) Remix - CJ Mackintosh B1 Portrait Of A Masterpiece (Hip Hop 12" Extended) (5:18)B2 Portrait Of A Masterpiece (Original Album Version) (2:30)
^it would be ridiculous if Matt didn't know the content of his own documentary.besides, if the rumour was true, then somebody would have ripped the track ages ago.
The original versions of the Chronic had a couple tracks that never made it to the intitial printing. The one I know for sure (and have luckily had the honor to hear) was called "Mr. Officer". Some of the first promotional copies of The Chronic had this track on it. The track is very violent and musically brillant, and is Dre's solo version of "Fuck The Police". But because of the fallout from Cop Killer and the riots(Mr. Officer was probably even slightly more graphic than Cop Killer) Interscope pulled the track from the initial printing. (fyi - it does not sound anything like the geto boys song Crooked Officer, although lyrically parts of the chorus are the same) Although we can't share it with you there is a way for someone to track it down. Mr. Officer was used on a documentary of the L.A. Riots called Birth of A Nation. So if that movie is out there somewhere (which it may or may not be) then you might be able to find one of Dre's craziest unreleased tracks.
