NWA had no shortage of weed carriers during their reign at the top, and most of it’s members continued to be weed owners during their solo careers. The diggy-diggy Dr. Dre started out carrying weed as a member of the World Class Wrecking Krew, who despite making some good songs such as “Cabbage Patch” spent too much time on sappy love jams decked-out in fruity lace shit that even Prince wouldn’t fuck with. When the late, great Eazy-E recruited Dre to make beats and carry weed for him, Dre jumped at the chance, taking the opportunity to bring his own weed holder along for the ride (DJ Yella).
As the group started to blow-up, many of the crew’s early weed carriers soon found themselves replaced by more talented holders, which explains why Ron-De-Vu and Arabian Prince got cut. Ice Cube and MC Ren were both happy to carry Eazy’s weed for a while, but before long, Cube got restless and went to New York to carry for Public Enemy and The Bomb Squad for a minute (at least long enough to get a New York-sounding record out of ’em).
Ren continued holding for Eazy, and even employed Boss Hogg (aka CPO) to carry Ren’s stash. Hell, even DJ Yella had weed carriers at one stage! (Yomo & Maulkie, anyone?). NWA as a whole also spawned several weed carriers who worked for the whole group, such as Above The Law, the D.O.C., Michel’le etc. The least talented of these weed carriers was Tarrie B, an Italian broad who modelled her look on Madonna and was really, really awful at rapping, but was able to carry huge quantities of weed through airports and such without any trouble.
By the time NWA fell apart, Dre had found a new guy to carry weed for – Suge Knight. For some reason, Dr. Dre seems to enjoy being both a weed carrier and weed owner at the same time, as during his Death Row stage he had a young Snoop Doggy Dogg holding for him, as well as The Dogg Pound, Rage, RBX, the D.O.C., etc. Not to be outdone, Ice Cube had also gathered an extensive group of weed carriers to serve under the Street Knowledge umbrella, including the Lench Mob, Del, Yo-Yo, Kausion, Kam and K-Dee (who had been in the group CIA with Cube in the early days). Since he goes through weed carriers at a frightening rate, it wasn’t long before Cube had fired that entire group and enlisted WC (for whom Coolio carried weed as a member of The MADD Circle) and Mack 10 as his official holders (aka Westside Connection). By this point I stopped paying attention, so I have no idea who’s been holding for him in recent times, although I think there was a guy called Short Khop or something.
Post-NWA, Eazy enjoyed the services of Bone Thugs-N Harmony, as well as weed carrier lifers such as BG Knoccout, Dresta and some other guys I forget. Dre has soldiered on, and now has everyone from Eminem to the G-Unit to The Gayme (who also carrys weed for NWA, even though the group no longer exists) to hold for him, as well as studio weed carriers like Mel-Man and all the guys who appeared on Chronic 2001. From time to time he also carries for Em and 50 Cent, just because he seems to enjoy it for some strange reason (?!).
