The official dr dre website dre2001.com
By SMS aka The Narrator
It all started for me, and many others in the summer of 1999, on dreday.com..me, and a bunch of the original posters you see on this board were all posting there, as it was the only up and running dr dre website. That was the good ol' days, there would be like a post every minute it seemed, and there was no beefing nothing...
As time went on, the anticipation for chronic 2 grew stronger, as it was about october of 1999. Dr Dre's official website opened, with a bright new forum, opening about 2 weeks later. Along with most of dreday.com people came much more dr dre fans from all over the net and world.
I remember such people as XLnutz, rap dogg, dirty dogg, D.O.C.B., engies, and alot more people from those days..but after Chronic 2001 dropped, interest dropped and some people left. This is when the famous battles of the message boards went on, i didnt take big part in these, but i was affected with it for sure..The first one was the ruff ryders board, some stupid shit, they bombed the board with pictures and it worked, due to no moderation.
Then came battles with the eminem board and battling off the teeny boppers, ahh damn yall remember that right? WEll this is the time we also got some new members such as nik (formerly now i know), tanjint (formerly ackynerm), and many other posters who are now real good posters. Along with the battles, there was a rough draft of the westcoast affiliates thing going around, which included wc killaz, dpgc2000.net, the shiznit, and all. This brings into play my old site "Chronic Overload" which was originally gonna be on the affiliates.
To make a long story short, Chronic overload was releasing a cd, called "be heard" which featured many of the dre2001.com people such as NExus (aka matt c), bishop, docb, mouse, jaymastajay and rapquake. Then came the problems, we relized it was unrelistic, and things fell apart....
And then at the end of 2000, the forum waas really starting to be shitty, and the westcoast affiliates, led by bplease and overseer, decided to make a new board, for the real fans to come along, leaving some 20-50 teeny boppers behind at dre2001.com, and real fans coming here to discuss rap..And 5 monthes into the project, this board is a smash hit if i may say so, and doing very well, better than dre2001 ever was...

aright heres my story of the ol' days :o
it was about August 31st or so , and it was also the first day of highschool for me, and for a present my mom got me a computer like 2 weeks before i thought this was the coolest thing ever cuz never thought i'd own a computer, and i was cool with just the computer i could like type all my homework up instead of doing it the ghetto way and write it, but after my first day of school my mom had hooked up the internet and at the time i was into wrestling and my mom gave me the screen name "jabroni kenobi" i don't know what's up with the kenobi i guess she thought it was coool or somthin, anyways i just started skimming though places searching for when dre's new record was coming out and i found the message board and at first i thought every one was some hardcore gangsta or somthin so i dunno i will admit i was fronting and acting all hardcore too and for some odd reason when they'd post topics like "who's the greatest rappers of all time" and i thought it was cool if i put all the famous rappers down that were out instead of all the rappers i really did like ,, so i put whack ass fools like juvenile and master p and thought "hey this should make me down...wrong i got clowed so bad and after strenuioius trying to prove myself as a non teeny bopper i was excepted and became a part of the whole clique. anyways like narrator said we had alot of beefs with other boards like
ruff ryders
deathrow
napter
eminem
and we pretty much got rid of them after a week or so then i dunno after no board was challenging us we started to implode
i mean shit i musta had beef with almost every one at one point at that board and visa versa with everyone else, it was crazyness then i remember getting fed up like the day before Psycreate made this board and making a post saying "i'm fed up with you people i'm outta here i ain't posting a single post again"....then this board opened a day later and now i've got like 2,000 posts
but heres the list of all the major player from the 2001 board (some major players from here might not make the list becuase at the time you weren't as major)
1. engies- he use to post like all the time now it's like once every month
2. the Narrator-now known as so much style
3. Pyscreate-now known as overseer
4. mouse
5. hittman with some numbers at the end
6. goldme
7. jamasta jay
8. docb
9. bishop
10. xlnutz
11. yungz 1- even though he only posted for like a month or 2 i don't think any of the OG's could forget that fool
oh yeah and me BIGjakeDOGGYdogg and for a brief time known as jaborni187

Well here is my short story:
Back in June 2000, I started coming to the Dre board and reading posts to see what was going on with Dre and other artists. I made some retarded name like The_Big_Bad_Brandon or something like that and I made a couple posts. Y'all would of never paid attention or recognized that name cause I only made a post or two.
Then my computer fried so I was off for a long time. I had forgotten about the Dre board and it was I finally got another computer in October 2000 and while I was listening to 2001 and I felt like checking dre2001.com to see if there was any news on Dre. I saw the forum and I remembered alot of familiar faces. I began reading posts for awhile and some time in November 2000 I registered the name bdogg187. I made my first topic entitled "Engies is a bitch" or something like that (no offence now) and started talking shit to him.
I was trying to be some prick and talk shit to everyone to get respect (big mistake) and obviously it was a big mistake. I had fights with alot of posters at that time and at one time or another everyone who posted at the dre 2001 board called me a bitch LOL. I wasn't an important player in the board or nuthin so no one gave a crap about my biting.
Then things started to die, people started leaving and unknowledgable tennyboppers took over and killed things. Then I saw a post where Psycreate was talking about this new board he was making with Bplease. I checked it out and at first I was like "Nah I prefer the dre board. Who cares if everyone else left. They come a dime a dozen anyways". Well once again I was wrong and I quickly noticed the place had become a horrible dump. SO of course I jumped ships and here I am today.
-
lol i remembe i had a beef with you ,lol i look back on that now and laugh we was arguing over nothing
-
LOL, yeah it was some petty shit. Wasn't even worth it. Oh well it's all good now.
-
Back in the day of being CatzI...I mostly sat around doin nuttin...I was scared as fuck of most of the people at Dre2001...I had like 125 posts at the end, not much by most standards...
I was at the RR incident, but kept low...
At first, when this board opened, I didn't join straight away, though I'd been a WCA fan for ages, for some reason I'd never clicked on the WCA Forum, probably because I knew I'd meet too many old faces...
-
Narrator, First off let me start by saying It's Now I Know (Formerly I_Dont_Know?)....
Anyways, here's my history....
Back in July, 2000...I really liked Eminems new album "Marshal mathers LP." So I searcghed websites to look for some Rare shit by hime...I came to Eminem.com, and I clicked the Message Board thing...I came acroos a bunch of messages...I didn't really know what it was...I registered as Sckit, and started posting there stuff about Eminem and some freestyles and stuff...I remember there wasn't a lot of peopl educated about Hip Hop, but I just stayed there, because I was used to it....than new teeny boppers started coming, and I was getting sick of it, so around Septemember I registered under the name "True_G" cuz I thought I would get some respect if I acted hard and shit (sorta' like BigJake did)...Little did I know that under the name True_G I would get hated on real bad, so later on I registered under "I_Don't_Know?" cuz I had a LOT of questions to ask about Hip Hop...I really didn't post as much as I post today, but i remember seeing all those beefs between Engies and narator...I mean those were like the only posts...Than i remember Bdogg hacked some guy named Cool_Broava, and he used to act all mean and shit (I liked huim better before, now he's too "Laid Back")...Also I remember Bdogg registering under YoungAndre, and people really thought he was Dre, and asked if they can send tapes. By that time the board was getting crazy, we got all those teeny boppers like "EminemGurll" trying to act like they know something about Hip Hop, so I remember hearing about this new board that everyone was moving too so i guess Bdogg posted a Link, and I clicked it, and I was stuck on this board since....
Hop ya like my story
-
i'd like to have all this incorporated into one page - including the reasons for the beefs with the ruff ryder board (mainly becoz of kurupts callin out names) even though death row & napster are pretty obvious
damn we survived all but the invasion of the teenies - that we never expected =)
-
I was just wondering........
So what happens when this Forum gets full of "Teeny Boppers"??
Which doesn't seem to be be too far from now...

for real.
well when that happens y'all can come talk about some real shit on the Flawless Music forum.
-
theres always some.. but it'll never be as bad as it was.. i mean even the death row board is teenified now
-
overseer can delete them too
-
thats the best thing... thing is - we will run out of things to talk about inbetween news.. ya cant be "stiff" all the time.. gotta be able to drop down and converse on other shit for the slack time between releases... havent u noticed beef occurs when theres fuck all interesting going on?
-
You were True G? I remember that. And wasn't Narrator "Young Andre" and I would pretend to be Dre's representitive. It wasn't all bad at the Dre board, there was some good stuff that came out of it.
-
Oh yea...I forgot...narrator was YoungAndre, and you would pretend to help him...LOL That shit was funny...And yes, I'm sad to admit I was True_G...
-
I just checked...the day I registered was 7/16/2000...Damn, taht was a year ago...
-
ahh, memories
but since its storytime, i got my own thang 2....
i came to da dre board in the X-mas break, early january 2000... i went to the site of course after i got into dre(who i was never into, i was jus recently gettin into WESTCOAST hiphop)...so back then i used to regularly visit snoopsdogghouse.com and check out on news dere, and one day while i was there i decided to look in the "links" sectiona dn i found dres "official" site link, and i decided to peep it. When i first entered the site i was amazed cuz it was dope, wid all those weed pictaz and smoke spefical effectz and all da sounds from my favortie cd of da time...
so i clicked around and found da board, and i remember my first post was in a keystyle topic, i forgot wat we used to call em, but it was like a long ass battle wit all peeple posting rhymes and a vote for the winner at da end,,,yea dat was dope shit. well so i got there often and posted a lot there, learning dope news quik and seein all these smart heads around n shit...and of course there were da beefs
narrator (dogbone52--->haha theres a story there in itself) vs. everybody
engies vs. everybody and mr yungs1, even minority vs. everybody... damn there was a hole lotta priks down there, i gotta admit, and i remember all actin hard and shit...and i think i came in dduring the picture floddings and i remember that yungs1's middle finga pic we were all laffin at...LOL..shieet
and of course there was the be heard thing but it was fuckin doomed to fail, narrator all being possesive and greedy as fuck back den... but wat happened happened.
and the worse thing was the damn teenybooper, "DRE IS HOT!"(WTF?!) and all this bullshit like "HEY DRE!"--->HAHAHHA NARATOR even made his AndreYoung alias actin like he really WAS dre...and that was when the great MELLOWMAN came!
but times changed and all that teenyboper bullish called for a moderation protected forum..and so tha intelligent muthafuckaz came on down...

Memories, in the corner of my mind. My story is that I got to the DRE2001.com message board a little later than all the OG's of the forum. I liked the topics and the elder statesmen of the forum were cool. I remember the pro Napster geeks spewing hatred and spamming the board. I stepped in and threw insults at a lot of those guys. The only time I truly got pissed off on the board was when this guy started making racist comments about Latins on the board. I think his name was Minority. I even made a topic calling hin out. My computer was down for awhile and when I come back, I see teenyboppers on the Dre board and it made me sick. Everyone was gone. I was lucky enough to find a old topic by Psycreate (now Overseer) and I emailed him and he gave me the link. I decided to start fresh too. I didn't want to be hiphopfanatic anymore. It died with the old board. The LAst Dragon is my name now.
-
I still remember that jfskorn888 guy from a year ago. He pissed me the fuck off with his racist comments. I wasn't a regular poster at that time, just a spectator.
-
when did i come to the board?
it was at least a year ago i think...i might be wrong but i think i was there before NIK.
when i first came the rr beef had just ended and narrator and engies were in full swing...it seemed like every other thread was a diss to someone on the board and i found it hillarious to read.
i used to get pissed of as hell with people having NUMEROUS screen names and everyone trying to hack each other.....
at one point all the bgeefs got so bad that i was gonna leave but then i started talking to my man mouse and he restored my faith that beneith all the petty hating on that board there were people with a genuine love for hip hop.
i made a post about the teenys one day and psycreate (yall newbies know him as the overseer) said something along the lines of "dont sweat it crem, i got a plan"
and sure enough he did, and here we all are. :)
yungz1 is back at the dre board and posting, i seen eminemGURL over at em's site once or twice, does anyone remember that guy rag? where did he go...he had knowledge.....and WHERE THE FUCK IS NAWSHIS?

Visitors To Our Site Aren't Gonna Care About Personal Experiences, So Onea Yall Needs To Write A 3rd Person View Of It, Yall Are All Writing 1st Person Views, And The Only One That It Would Make Sense To Present That On Our History Page would Be Overseer.
Peace.
-

SMS do u wanna do that?
-
Nawshis posts here, but only once in a while...Does anyone remember this guy named AgentOrange or some shit?
Oh and I remember that BDogg (Either him or Narrator) pretended to be Ron Jeremy...That was some funny ass shit, he used to posts these pics of him with these girls, LOL, and at the end he admited it was him...LOL
-

-
I know most of ya'all are Dre2001.com posters, but I wasn't totally felling that board. I remember the old DreDay board, which I was at home, then the N.W.A.2K, and also the M.C. Ren page, were that shit was str8 Ruthless. I went to the Dre2001 board, and I said, I going to post all the time here, but then summer hit, and I left college for the summer, and internet was no more. Then when I went back to college, I became a Westcoast Killa. And now we have the net at home. Sorry Trauma, had to put a little personal story.
-

-
first person is all i know, i think that 3rd person would be rather boring if you know what i mean, but anyway overseer you should put it together than cause it would be easier causey ou understand exactly how you want it, i am not sure
-
I came to dre2001.com in november of 99 but I just read the post of others. I gained alot of knowledge from this. In february of 2000 I finally felt like signing up and I began posting. I didn't post as much as I do now. That beef shit annoyed the hell out of me.
I remember that dude rag. He used to talk about how he gangbanged and shit.
NAwshis rarely post these dayz.
