Circumstantial evidence that Dr. Dre circa 1999 lives at Avalon West Chelsea.

Spotted outside Avalon West Chelsea: Rolls Royce from the 1990s (I’m pretty sure this is called a Rolls Royce Silver Spur). This looks like the type of car Dr. Dre would bounce in a music video you’d watch on Total Request Live back when Carson Daly was a thing. Here’s the video for Still D.R.E. if you don’t remember what I’m talking about—the cars bounce at 16 seconds in and the beat drops at 21 seconds in: Dr. Dre ft. Snoop Dogg - Still D.R.E. (Official Video) - YouTube.

I take the semi-regular presence of this sweet city ride on our block as circumstantial evidence that Dr. Dre lives at Avalon West Chelsea. On that note, I’ve talked to a few people from Avalon West Chelsea in connection with this block association, and one repeat point of conversation is the drag racers racing around on 11th Avenue or the West Side Highway—apparently the noise is enough to shake your windows. To the drag racers I present a separate dated rap song: Drive Slow - YouTube.
