This guy has pissed me off so I have decided to post some of my email's I've had with him.

I know the story behind the MPC because I personally know the guy that Dr. Dre signed it for and gave it to in 2002. He was an incredible piano player and an aspiring producer... and he actually worked with Dr. Dre a few times in the studio. The signed MPC was a parting gift. Dre wrote all of the major hit songs that he did on the machine as a form of motivation to take his dream of producing as well as the machine seriously. Dre also wrote the personalized note encouraging him to "Do Ya Thang." The machine was a signed gift... there is no proof other than the actual story. I am selling the machine in total confidence only because I know the story! I posted pics of Dr. Dre's signature to compare to the signature on the machine... and it's obviously authentic! Besides that, I have nothing else to offer for proof. Machine is 100% original... nothing has been altered. Good luck and thanks for your interest.

My next email What's the producers name?

SirBj"Thanks for your interest again. Terrace Martin is his name. Google him. Thanks."

My next email If you are good friends with him could you get a letter stating he got this from Dre?

SirBj"Thanks for your continued interest... but getting such a letter from him to prove that it came from Dr. Dre might be a stretch! "

my next email.. I don't think so.. why is mary j. blidge spelled the way it is?

SirBj "I think I've provided an adequate backstory on this machine... names included! I've answered (and will continue to answer) any and all questions about its history... but to go beyond that and ask someone to write a letter on my behalf is quite a stretch I think... friend or not! It would be a totally different story if I was selling the machine for him, but I'm not! I own the MPC now and I'm selling it for myself. Thanks for your understanding. "

I respond this is extremely fake. I am reporting this to ebay since it's illegal to sell fake auto's and emailing Terrace Martin about your story

SirBj"You can't be serious right now!!! (LOL.) Fake autos? Didn't do my research? Already been reported to Ebay? This is crazy!!! If you're still skeptical of the item's authenticity after all the questions I've answered for you and the backstory that I provided, please move on! But NO, I am NOT asking anyone to write a letter on my behalf to prove to you that the signature is real! I don't care if it's a friend of mine or not... you're clearly missing the point! Please move on... I'll entertain the other 44 potential buyers who have added the item to their Watch List. Call who you need to call, email who you need to email, and report what you need to report! This is not a basketball or a football or some magazine cover or something! This is an Akai MPC 3000... (easily worth $1200 without the autograph!) Who in their right mind would try to fake a signature and write all over a perfectly-clean MPC 3000??? Use a little logic please. You sound ridiculous. Oh... and tell T-Mac I said what's up! He'll know who it is by my username... LOL"

Then I show him this forum..

SirBj"You guys need to get off the forum and start making some beats or something!!! Y'all have waaaaaay too much time on your hands! LOL. These guys are questioning why Dr. Dre would be selling his MPC. (LOL) Are they serious? Either all of you guys are nuts... or they don't know the whole story behind the MPC. Which one is it? The fact that you would even take this to a MPC forum lets me know what kind of guy you are... and what kind of guy you are NOT! By the way, I just spoke to T... seems that I've called your bluff! LOL. You guys have fun chatting about the machine that has made me tens of thousands of dollars... lol."

hahahahahaah :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: people will do whatever in this economy to come up....


1. why would dre sign his own mpc ? :lol: :lol:
2. if he signed if with intent of selling it to a collector or fan he woulda signed it on the body casing where it will last forever and not the arm wrest.


now why would fake mpc be signed on the arm wrest,

1.maybe cuz it took multiple number of tries to get the signature down.
2. so it's easier to make the ink look old by rubbin it in attempt to smear and fade out to give that old effect look...cuz otherwise it would look way too fresh if it was signed on the body like it got signed yesterday since the ink would dry off right away then it dont look legit and you cant do shit with it


nice try hahahaahhaahah :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

I remember seeing this years back. I had a conversation with Bruce Forat and I brought up this topic and he confirmed it that it was fake, because the seller was trying to sell it to him. Haha. Dr. Dre’s MPC3000’s is not going anywhere, he still uses many of them even till this day.
