How 'bout I get somebody to write something for me, only they didn't know about it?

Madd Dogg's Rhymes is a mission in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas given to protagonist Carl Johnson by Grove Street Families affiliate and aspiring rapper Jeffrey "OG Loc" Cross from the Burger Shot he works at in the Marina, Los Santos, San Andreas.

The mission introduces the player to the ability of stealth kills.

Mission[]

Carl recently stole a load of music equipment for OG Loc's album release party, but it seems that Loc can't rhyme if he doesn't have them to read off. Loc asks CJ to assist him in "borrowing" rhymes from famous rapper Madd Dogg.

Carl heads for Madd Dogg's Crib in Mulholland. He gains access, discovering that the home is heavily guarded by Madd Dogg's security. Nonetheless, Carl, unable to use his weapons apart from a knife, continues the infiltration and uses his stealth to make his way to the studio room, stealing the rhyme book. He exits the mansion in the safest way possible, and heads back to Burger Shot. Carl then meets Loc outside of the restaurant, giving him the rhyme book.

Mission Objectives[]

In order to complete the mission the player must:

  • Go to Madd Dogg's mansion.
  • Get to the main door is around the back of the mansion.
  • The rhyme book is in Madd Dogg's recording studio.
  • Madd Dogg's personal security are patrolling the mansion.
    • Do not use any guns on your way to the rhyme book - you will alert them. Use stealth to steal the rhyme book.
  • Exit the mansion and get the rhyme book back to OG Loc.
    • It's safe to use your weapons now, although it may be less risky if you use stealth to get past any guards on patrol.
    • The guards are using silenced guns. If you manage to obtain one it will allow you to fire a gun without being heard by nearby guards.

Instructional Messages[]

The patrolling guards are shown on the radar by the red blips which point in the direction the security guards are facing.
If you crouch while you move you will make less noise. Crouch and then target the guard.
Perform stealth kill by moving slowly towards the guard while targeting him.
If the white blip on the radar that represents your position turns blue it indicates that you are in the shadows and are hidden from patrolling guards.
To stay hidden you have to stay crouched and walk past the bar.
The guards are using silenced guns. If you manage to obtain one it will allow you to fire a gun without being heard by nearby guards.
Pick up the weapon. It will replace any weapon you have of the same type.
Stealth can also be used outside of missions. You can sneak up behind people and perform stealth kills or use stealth to evade the police and enemy gang members.

Reward[]

The reward for completing this mission is an increase in respect and the missions Management Issues and Burning Desire (after the phone call from Tenpenny) are unlocked. The player is also allowed to keep the knife and remaining ammo for the Silenced 9mm from the mission.

CJ: Hey, dude - you ever thought about getting a writer to help you out with this shit?
OG Loc: Yeah, I did. But who, homie, who?
CJ: Shit, I ain't into rap game, you know, that ain't my thing. But we'll have to think about something. Man.
OG Loc: How about if I get somebody to write something for me, only the didn't know about it?

Tenpenny: Don't try and hit me up with that ghetto babble, boy!

Trivia[]

  • The amplifiers in the studio have a Rockstar Games logo on them.
  • One of the guards playing a video game remarks, "How could Refractions mess up so bad?" and "Tanner, you suck ass!" These are references to the poor reception of DRIV3R, which is considered a GTA Clone, where the protagonist's name is Tanner, and the game is made by Reflections Interactive.
  • The upstairs levels of Madd Dogg's mansion (beyond the point where the rhyme book is) can be explored safely as there are no guards. A silenced pistol can be found in a room with gold records on the walls (down the hall from the studio), and two playable video games.
  • The male pedestrian in the beginning cutscene of this mission (who says "Yo! That shit sucks! Damn!") happens to share the same model as the Ballas member who was smoking in The Introduction. He can also be seen snorting coke with Jizzy B. along with his hoes and other associates in Ice Cold Killa. His name is Bogman, as seen in the files.
  • The BradyGames Official Strategy Guide appears to have been written based upon an early version of the mission, as it indicates that Carl needs to evade police who have been summoned by an alarm being triggered in the mansion. No such event occurs in the final version of the mission.
  • The guard playing the video game looks like he is holding a controller, but is actually holding nothing.
  • According to some internal game files, the Skateboard was supposed to appear instead of the Mountain Bike.
  • During the opening cutscene both OG Loc and Carl look at themselves in a mirror, even though there is no mirror in the bathroom.
  • The guards killed before Carl obtains the rhyme book will not drop their weapons.
