DJ Drama forced to change his name

by FULLMETAL

MONDAY MAY 7, 2007

The DJ Drama we know does Gangsta Grillz mixtapes, and serves as Atlanta’s resident go-to guy for everything Hip-Hop. However, the DJ Drama we don’t know is a man from Chicago, who actually has rights to the name. Drama spoke to MTV recently about the situation, and what it will be like to change his name.

“You can Google for 400 pages and you wouldn’t see anything about this guy…It’s all good, though. I’ve been through so much already — this is not a big deal. Some of the greats have had to go through things like this. I guess I’ll just Notorious B.I.G. the game. I’ll probably change my name to Dram or Dramatic and just keep it moving. The people know who the real DJ Drama is, though.”

Unfortunately, due to this name fiasco, Drama’s album has been put on the backburner for awhile. However he did drop some pleasing news about Outkast popping up on the LP “The Art Of Storytelling”. “Outkast is one of the reasons why I’m in Atlanta, you dig me? I remember driving to Atlanta in ‘94 with my pop, first listening to Southernplayalisticadillacmuzik. I’ve been a fan ever since. So 13 years later, to be in a position to have who I consider the greatest group of all time on my album, it’s a blessing,” he added.

“Months ago, even before ‘Idlewild,’ I was in the process of working on a mixtape with them. We had been talking back and forth, and it came to the point where they was like, ‘Dram, we want to do it, it’s just a lot going on, but you got us on your album.’ You can’t beat that. My intention from the beginning was to have Outkast sound like people love to hear Outkast. They’re so respected and artistic, and they go in so many directions, and I love that. But for me, I was trying to get Outkast back to that ATL type of sound — that core sound that they come up with.”

Does anyone know what color DJ Drama is? He looks white but I know he said nigga a few times. And his name is Tyree, and I never met a white guy named Tyree.

dj drama was the only reason i started buying mixtapes. all other mixtapes had shit that was already spun like a hundred times on the radio, but his shit has exclusives songs on it . plus that GANGSTA GRILLZ sayin had me like what the fuck the first time i heard it.

first cd from dram(a) was dedication, then jeezy, then t.i.,project pat,then ded 2,then cant ban the snowman, then boosie,then about a million more. the mixtape store i go to is legit, so i hope he receiving some of the money that i give them, cuz that shit be fire.

the best mixtapes he had were ded 1,ded 2,case dismissed, welcome to the traphouse,trap or die, and project pat welcome home party.
