      No
      one
      has
      forgotten
      about
      Dre,
      least
      among
      us,
      the
      staff
      here
      at
      the
      Panther
      Post.
      When
      one
      of
      us
      made
      the
      brilliant
      connection
      that
     
     
      ‘Dr.
      Dre’
      sounds
      a
      lot
      like
      ‘Cadre’,
      Dre
      was
      cemented
      as
      our
      favourite
      musician/producer/entrepreneur
      of
      all
      time.
      Since
      he’s
      lended
     
     
      his
      face
      to
      other
      things,
      we
      thought
      he
      might
      want
      to
      be
      the
      image
      of
      the
      UPEI
      paper.

      Dear
      Dr.
      Dre,
     
    
   
   
    
     
      My
      name
      is
      Connor
      Simpson,
      and
      I
      am
      an
      editor
      at
      the
      University
     
     
      of
      Prince
      Edward
      Island
      student
      newspaper,
      The
      Panther
      Post.
      We
      here
     
     
      at
      the
      paper
      are
      huge
      fans
      of
      your
      entire
      catalogue
      of
      music,
      especially
     
     
      “Nuthin’
      But
      A
      “G’
      Thang”.
      That
      song
      owns.
      It
      is
      constantly
      playing
      in
      our
     
     
      offices,
      and
      NWA
      is
      a
      favorite
      whenever
      we’re
      up
      at
      2
      AM
      editing
      a
      paper
     
     
      for
      the
      next
      day.
     
    

    
     
      We
      were
      wondering
      if
      you
      could
      maybe
      forward
      an
      endorsement
     
     
      of
      our
      paper
      that
      we
      could
      print
      in
      the
      first
      issue.
      Nothing
      long,
      just
      some-
     
     
      thing
      like,
      “Man,
      this
      paper
      is
      sick.
      It
      carries
      the
      heart
      of
      the
      streets.
      Comp-
     
     
      ton
      for
      life,
      Aftermath
      represent!
      Holla
      back,
      bitches.
      Drink
      Dr.
      Pepper
      and
     
     
      look
      for
      Detox
      to
      hit
      record
      stores
      in
      early
      2017!!”
     
    

    
     
      We
      both
      win
      this
      way.
      You
      get
      to
      advertise
      your
      new
      album,
      get
      a
     
     
      sponsorship
      cheque
      from
      Dr.
      Pepper,
      and
      we
      get
      an
      endorsement
      from
      one
     
     
      of
      the
      best
      music
      producers
      to
      ever
      do
      it.
      Thanks

      Its
      me
      again,
      Connor,
      from
      the

      Our
      deadline
      is
      fast
     
     
      approaching
      and
      we’re
      really
      counting
      on
      you
      to
      come
      through

      We
     
     
      realize
      that
      you
      haven’t
      even
      gotten
      an
      assistant
      to
      respond
      to
      us
      yet,
      but
     
     
      we’re
      really
      counting
      on
      you
      to
      come
      through
      here.
      We’re
      really
      starting
      to
     
     
      sweat.
      We
      were
      counting
      on
      your
      kindness
      and
      generosity,
      neither
      of
      which
     
     
      have
      come
      through
      yet.
      Could
      you
      get
      back
      to
      us
      by
      the
      fifth?

      Dear
      Dr.
      Dre,
     
    
   
   
    
     
      Hey
      there,
      its
      Connor
      Simpson
      again.
      Just
      checking
      in
      with
      a
      fol-
     
     
      low
      up
      email.
      It
      has
      been
      a
      few
      weeks,
      and
      school
      is
      starting
      soon.
      We
     
     
      were
      really
      hoping
      that
      you
      could
      to
      this
      for
      us.
     
    

    
     
      You
      don’t
      have
      to
      write
      anything,
      you
      could
      just
      snap
      a
      picture
     
     
      with,
      I
      don’t
      know,
      maybe
      a
      panther
      toy
      that
      your
      kid
      might
      have?
      How
     
     
      about
      a
      slip
      of
      paper
      that
      just
      says
      “Panther
      Post’’??
      These
      are
      probably
     
     
      easier
      for
      you,
      I
      understand
      you’re
      a
      busy
      man.
      Just
      throwing
      the
      ideas
      out
     
     
      there.
     
    

    
     
      Again,
      any
      help
      is
      greatly
      appreciated.
      We
      just
      want
      to
      start
      the
      year
      of
     
     
      with
      a
      bang.
