I saw a sign for this on Jefferson somewhere near I think Chene. Anyone know what this is? I have noticed that particular building many times but that is the first time i've seen a sign (banner) on there. |

And I'm pretty sure it's not open yet. It looks like they're still doing renovations. |

Is this Dr. Dre owned or just using his name?
I love a good open pit grill, so I look forward to this!! |

Unfortuantely not Dabirch, it's on the corner of Jefferson and McDougall across McDougall from the Life Skills Center.
It doesn't look nice enough to have anything to do with the real Dr. Dre, but you never know... |

Straight outta Chene Park, crazy grillmaster named Dr. Dre
I'll cook up a rack of ribs any day
When I'm called off, my barrel's sawed off
Fire up the grill and burgers are hauled off
For you too, boy, if ya cook with me
The department of health gonna hafta come and get me
Off these coals, that's how I'm goin' out
For the punk fresh foodies that's showin' out
Pikers start to mumble, they wanna rumble
Mix 'em and cook em in a pot like gumbo
Goin' off on a grill-hater like that
With a smoker that's pointed at yo ass
So give it up smooth
And ain't no tellin when I'm down for a rack, too
Here's a grilling rap to keep you dancin'
Like a cooking show with Charles Manson
My half-barrel grill is the tool
Don't make me cook that mutha-f*ckin tofu
Me you can go coal to coal, no maybe
I'm knockin grillas in the mist, daily
Yo weekly, monthly and yearly
Until them silly barbecuers see clearly
That I'm down with the capital BBQ
Boy, I won't cook with you
So when I'm in your neighborhood, you better duck
Coz Dr. Dre is cooking up ground chuck
As I leave, believe you'll be chompin'
But when I come back, boy, I'll be grillin' without stoppin' |

Do you really want to watch?
2/3's of it won't be that pretty.
And like driving by an accident -- your eyes will naturally by drawn to that 2/3's. |

Ya'll know me still the same ol' G
But I been low key with my grill, see
Hated on by most these other BBQ'ers
Wit no cheese, no deals and no G's, no wheels and no keys
No boats, no snowmobiles and no ski's
Mad at me cause
I can finally afford to provide my family wit groceries
You better bow down on both knees
Who you think taught you to smoke trees
Who you think brought you the o' G's
Eazy-E's Ice Cube's and D.O.C's and Snoop D O double G's
My Sauce shows great Expertise
I'll bust a Slab out da grill and make you go "Oh Please" *

Dabirch, no I don't really want to watch but it's the price I'd have to pay to sell the tape on the internets. Perhaps with the proceeds I could buy your company and move it to Detroit. |

Detroitnerd, you are very inspiring.
Natural Born Grilla
Journey with me into the mind of a maniac
Crazy about grillin' since Pop's taught me way back
im looking at some mesquite and a cooler full of beer
i see some corn on the ear
FLICK FLICK, Fires hot
cause when i get my tongs off these ribs get hauled off
*Barrel one
perfectly sears the flesh
*Barrel two
grills up this chicken the best
you see Im quick to let the lighter go flick
on my charbroil so you can take it home in foil
fool its your dinner time
feel the blast of the whole pig bomber
chlling in the smoker with an apple in its head
take a napkin or you'll get sauce on ya
Bar-b-que'in I ain't foolin
Ill put you in a restaurant booth
youll need a pick for your tooth
sauce hot like lava
you got a problem?
I got a problem solver
and his name is rotisserie (?)
its like a delicious game of freeze tag
you get full,take it home
and you freeze it in a carryout bag
nobody iller
than this big belly filler
potato peeler
cause im a natural born grilla |

Wow. This is OUT OF CONTROL! Thanks everybody for kickin' it real old school. I don't think I've laughed so hard in a long time. Props to Abra, man. I was dying!
Yeah, Brushparkbub, I know, I know. But Ice Cube was my favorite. For a little cash, maybe he'd do the commercial?
This is his place, and I dig it!
My man Dre'll cook it up in a minute,
with a thick-jerk-rub that's ruthless,
And sauce so sweet it'll leave you toothless! |

On MTV's reunion of 12 Angry VJs, Dré professed that he does not eat pork because he is a Muslim.

This is not the Dre we are speaking of, who is a gentleman from Compton, California, and a former associate of the boisterous and towering Suge Knight of Death Row records.
The man you speak of, was merely a rotund, record-spinning television personality of the then popular "Yo MTV Raps", a show containing the most-recent "Rap" records, back when MTV played musical artists.
I hope I've been helpful in clarifying this. |

Just wakin’ up in the mornin’, heat up the grill
I don't know but today I feel kinda ill
My heart’s in a clog, I don’t jog,
And mama cooked a breakfast of four hogs (damn!)
I got my grub on, I really pigged out
Finally took delivery on a grill I wanna pimp out
(Whassup?) Hooked it up for later as I hit the do'
Thinkin will I live, my blood sugar’s getting’ low!
I gotta go cause I got me a grill spot
And if I hit the switch, I can make the flames hot!
Had to stop, at a red light
Lookin in my mirror and not a hipster in sight
And everything is alright
I got a text from Kim, and she can cook all night
Called up the doctor and got an EKG
Now I know that I’m not too healthy
But get me on the grill and I’m big trouble
Cookin’ so much meat they call me Barney Rubble
I even sold out of my BBQ fillet
I gotta say, today was a good day! |
