Hey, stop messing up my non important thread. Time for a PM war for you two...or is it that you like it when people watch you argue? ;)

It still seems like a fairly big couincidence that there are two Dr (or Doctor) Dres. Which one was the first to be nicknamed Doctor?

Yeah, cause Andre is a rare name and all.

Just a guess, but Dre is short for Andre. and the Dr. part is something that a bunch of rap and techno people add to their name to sound important. Therefore, the rap industry had one too many Andres that wanted to be important.

Dude, they're called doctors because of producing.

Chopping beats up and putting them together again.


Wow, there is a doctorate program to do that?!?!

ARE YOU REALLY A COMPANY????
:roll::roll::roll::roll::roll::roll::roll::roll::roll::roll::roll:

No, but my last name is Co dipSh*t.

MEEEEOW!
Retract those claws kitty, I'm not trying to get into a cat fight.

I have never heard of anyone with the name Co.
Are you of some asian decent?

It would have really been too perfect if you going for "company" :laugh:


Nope, I am not asian, and Co is short for Cooley (so yo arent really a dipsh*t but you felt bad for a minute or two).

-MC

I think that makes you the dipshit now. ;)

I didn't say Andre wasn't a rare name. They're both "Dr Dre" (well, pretty close anyways), they're both rappers, and they both become popular at about the same time. Someone just admit it's an odd coincidence :disgust:

There's at least an undergrad program, maybe more, at MTSU.
