The diggy-diggy <strong>Dr. Dre<\/strong> started out carrying weed as a member of the <strong>World Class Wrecking Krew<\/strong>, who despite making some good songs such as &#8220;Cabbage Patch&#8221; spent too much time on sappy love jams decked-out in fruity lace shit that even <strong>Prince<\/strong> wouldn&#8217;t fuck with. When the late, great <strong>Eazy-E<\/strong> 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 (<strong>DJ Yella<\/strong>).<\/p>\n<p>As the group started to blow-up, many of the crew&#8217;s early weed carriers soon found themselves replaced by more talented holders, which explains why <strong>Ron-De-Vu<\/strong> and <strong>Arabian Prince<\/strong> got cut. <strong>Ice Cube<\/strong> and <strong>MC Ren<\/strong> were both happy to carry Eazy&#8217;s weed for a while, but before long, Cube got restless and went to New York to carry for <strong>Public Enemy<\/strong> and <strong>The Bomb Squad<\/strong> for a minute (at least long enough to get a New York-sounding record out of &#8217;em).<\/p>\n<p>Ren continued holding for Eazy, and even employed <strong>Boss Hogg<\/strong> (aka <strong>CPO<\/strong>) to carry Ren&#8217;s stash. Hell, even DJ Yella had weed carriers at one stage! (<strong>Yomo &amp; Maulkie<\/strong>, anyone?). NWA as a whole also spawned several weed carriers who worked for the whole group, such as <strong>Above The Law<\/strong>, the <strong>D.O.C.,<\/strong> <strong>Michel&#8217;le<\/strong> etc. The least talented of these weed carriers was <strong>Tarrie B<\/strong>, an Italian broad who modelled her look on <strong>Madonna<\/strong> and was really, really awful at rapping, but was able to carry huge quantities of weed through airports and such without any trouble.<\/p>\n<p>By the time NWA fell apart, Dre had found a new guy to carry weed for &#8211; <strong>Suge Knight<\/strong>. For some reason, Dr. Dre seems to enjoy being both a weed carrier and weed owner at the same time, as during his <strong>Death Row<\/strong> stage he had a young <strong>Snoop Doggy Dogg<\/strong> holding for him, as well as <strong>The Dogg Pound<\/strong>, <strong>Rage<\/strong>, <strong>RBX<\/strong>, the D.O.C., etc. Not to be outdone, Ice Cube had also gathered an extensive group of weed carriers to serve under the <strong>Street Knowledge<\/strong> umbrella, including the <strong>Lench Mob<\/strong>, <strong>Del<\/strong>, <strong>Yo-Yo<\/strong>, <strong>Kausion<\/strong>, <strong>Kam<\/strong> and <strong>K-Dee<\/strong> (who had been in the group <strong>CIA<\/strong> with Cube in the early days). Since he goes through weed carriers at a frightening rate, it wasn&#8217;t long before Cube had fired that entire group and enlisted<strong> WC<\/strong> (for whom <strong>Coolio<\/strong> carried weed as a member of <strong>The MADD Circle<\/strong>) and <strong>Mack 10<\/strong> as his official holders (aka <strong>Westside Connection<\/strong>). By this point I stopped paying attention, so I have no idea who&#8217;s been holding for him in recent times, although I think there was a guy called <strong>Short Khop<\/strong> or something.<\/p>\n<p>Post-NWA, Eazy enjoyed the services of <strong>Bone Thugs-N Harmony<\/strong>, as well as weed carrier lifers such as <strong>BG Knoccout, Dresta <\/strong>and some other guys I forget. Dre has soldiered on, and now has everyone from <strong>Eminem<\/strong> to the <strong>G-Unit<\/strong> to <strong>The<\/strong> <strong>Gayme<\/strong> (who also carrys weed for NWA, even though the group no longer exists) to hold for him, as well as studio weed carriers like <strong>Mel-Man<\/strong> and all the guys who appeared on Chronic 2001. From time to time he also carries for Em and <strong>50 Cent<\/strong>, just because he seems to enjoy it for some strange reason (?!).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>NWA had no shortage of weed carriers during their reign at the top, and most of it&#8217;s members continued to be weed owners during their solo careers.
