7	->''What are the Music/DrDre rules of your crew? What are the rules when a Dr. Dre song comes on the radio or plays at a club? What is the procedure that goes into effect? Cause sometimes I'm with my white friends and a Dr. Dre song will come on. And there's a lot of "nigger"s in a Dr. Dre song. And they wanna enjoy it, but they can't really enjoy it around me. So they start taking out the "nigger"s or mumbling the "nigger"s and it's just a sad sight to see. It's just sad to see some white person trying to do some "nigger"-less rendition of a Dr. Dre song, it's just fucking depressing.''
