First, Let me explain what WAXTAX-N DRE means and how I got that name. My DJ name was DJ Dre years ago but I kept running into a lot of DJ Dre's. So, I wanted a name to stand out and be different. So, I seen a guy that called himself "DJ Miz the Waxer". I thought that was dope! So, I kind of bit off of his name and added Taxer. So, it was "DJ Dre the Wax Taxer". Well, I was working at a club called the Outkast and the host of the party was JD (RIP). He heard me announce my name as DJ Dre The Wax Taxer. So, one night he changed it up and said, "Yeah we got DJ Wax Taxin Dat Ass Dre on the turntables. That was it! I had to roll with that name, but a few years later. I got hired for radio and back then you could not really say "Ass" on the radio. So, I shorted my name to "DJ WAXTAX-N DRE". Ok, I finally answer that question. Now, back to the Bio.
