20 Years After Mac Dre's Death, the Furly Ghost Still Lingers | KQED
Briefly

When DJ ShellHeart plays Mac Dre during her events, she says, "it brings the party up to a whole 'nother level, even in 2024." Behind her dark-tinted sunglasses, ShellHeart's eyes widen as she adds, "I get chills talking about it, that's how I know his spirit is still here." This shows that Mac Dre's music still energizes and inspires fans even two decades after his death, illustrating his lasting cultural impact.
The cigarette butts and tiny trinkets, the holistic stones and loose change donated to the patron saint of the hyphy movement. All evidence that Mac Dre's spirit, the ghost of Furl, is still alive - and it lives in the people. This emphasizes how Mac Dre's legacy continues to influence the Bay Area community, with tangible signs of respect and remembrance found at his gravesite.
Angelically hyphy extraterrestrial Frisco native Alien Mac Kitty (AMK) attributes the "Mac" in her name to Mac Dre. She states, 'He and Dre were actually really cool.' AMK adds that Mac Dre made everything fun, funky and colorful, in the most respectful way. This highlights the interconnectedness of the Bay Area's rap scene and how Mac Dre's personality and creativity inspired a new generation of artists.
