Its possible.
He loses credibility in his obvious bias.
If you think of how young they were, and then remember Dre was DJ'ing and working with the World Class Wrecking Crew, its totally possible Dre taught and mentored the members of NWA when they were first starting out and having Dre mentor him doesn't take away from Cube's credibility or diminish his contributions or what he became.
I think taking that and making it out to be like he was Dre's flunky or "little man" is where he fucks up.
But I'll bet there is a lot of truth to what he's posting.

Not really, that's how Dre is in the studio. did you watch the movie? Dre asked Cube did he have them rhymes? cube says 'yes'
Dre says no i mean that hard shit?
Cube says "Dre, i only write that hard shit'.
Why is it so far fetched for Dre to say " write some shit like this cube" or naw say that shit like this cube? I thought that's what producers did
F.O.H

From a production perspective, this song always felt like the pivotal moment. It's like they found their identity "beat-wise"
The synths and guitar riffs = precursor to G-Funk.
Till this day Death Row albums have the best mixes

Half the cats at the good life? What's that?
Bullshit. DeVante wrote and produced a song on K-Ci and JoJo's first album. It was that Bassment/Elektra shit that fucked up DeVante and Jodeci.
On another note, what's up with Yella? Was he a skilled producer or what?

He's said that on there, without directly saying it...said he's gonna give the story on that.

I heard he was too invested in Eminem for Eve to pop on Aftermath. Didn't she return briefly?
was it true that dre initially signed Eve but did nothing with her because he really didn't believe in female MCs (which makes no sense as to why he would sign her in the first place but thats how I heard it...)
Dr. Dre has built a legacy guiding the careers of young rappers and crafting stellar debuts. However, where the Good Doctor excelled with D.O.C., Snoop Dogg, Eminem, 50 Cent, Game and Kendrick Lamar, he failed with Eve. Not that it was Dre’s fault; he and the Philadelphia spitter just didn’t have the right chemistry.
“Aftermath was my first home, with Dr. Dre,” Eve reminded viewers when she appeared on Wednesday’s “RapFix Live.” “But me and Dre just couldn’t get along.”
Eve isn’t the first artist to fail to put out an official album with Dre. Bishop Lamont, Joell Ortiz and rap icon Rakim were all at one point signed to Aftermath, but all left without putting out an album. Most artists who have ever worked with the production great will tell you that he is meticulous. Couple that with Eve’s self-admitted stubbornness and the union between her and The Chronic beat wizard.
“I’m a strong chick and I don’t like being told what to do. I don’t care if you’re the best at what you do,” she said. “Dre just knows how to push your buttons, but I just have to say every time he pushed my buttons, he got the best out of me. So he knew what he was doin’.”
After her Aftermath deal fizzled out, Eve linked with Ruff Ryders and went on to make her mark selling millions of records. She even linked back up with Dre on her 2001 single “Let Me Blow Ya Mind” with Gwen Stefani, so there is clearly no love lost, and these days, Eve can look back at the past and laugh. “I can’t remember exactly what record, but he made me say one word over, like 45 times. I swear to God; I’m not lying,” she said anecdotally. “He wouldn’t let me out of the studio. I kicked the mic down and threw a bottle at the glass, and after I did all that, I said it the right way and he let me out.”
Though things didn’t work out, Interscope head Jimmy Iovine saw an opportunity to move Eve to Ruff Ryders, the Interscope-distributed label with which she dropped her 1999 debut Let There Be Eve… Ruff Ryders’ First Lady. For Eve, it’s clear that timing is everything and her time with Dre just wasn’t right. “If I would’ve come out, then I wouldn’t be where I am now and I know that 100 percent,” she said.
http://hiphopdx.com/news/id.22038/title.eve-says-it-was-devastating-to-be-dropped-from-aftermath
Now I remember back in 98 talking to a old skool philly producer named T.Life (who discovered Evelyn Champagne King) and he was telling me about a girl he trying to develop who rapped and he said he was calling her "Eve of Destruction..ya dig it!" but apparently it didn't work out and a couple of years later I saw her in the background of music vid for a west coast rapper..then didn't hear about her until a year or so after that when Ruff Ryders brought her out.
Any fill in the details about her time at Aftermath??

Telling a nigga you want him 2 spit that hard shit is totally different from this guy saying dre told cube what 2 write. How a nigga that's getting his verses written for him tell the man that's writing them what to write. I can see dre telling him how to spit a verse like he did for Eazy in the movie. But saying he told cube what to write lost the writer his credibility
And yes i saw the movie and I've been in studio sessions. I know producers give advice on shit. The writer is making it sound like dre was cube ghost writer

ok cool I didn't read it that way, I took more like cube was his young protege and cube was. Ice cube was the only cat still in High school at the the time. So in a since he was Dre son.
Re: "ICE CUBE WAS ALWAYS DR DRE'S "SON" DON'T BELIEVE THE MOVIE" WellDamn? Artemus Go
They didn't fit together in the first place imo.
it also feels like dre not REALLY fucking with you as far as a full album unless you're a sure thing.
it never took them forever to do em albums
got 50's albums done in no time
everybody else something wasn't "right"
lol

ya I can see why dude feel some kinda way...movie tried to make the white cat @ priority look innocent but no way he ain't tried to pull cube away...not even faulting him...but if the movie is even halfway honest anybody w/ some vision had to see cube was a rap star one way or the other

As for the "g-pass" stuff...those guys may have been likable guys that put people on....but i think the fact that people like Ice, Pac, Eazy never claiming a specific gang gave them more freedom to move around as well. That and helping the "right" people....
Anyways.....
Interesting read....but all this back and forth shit about NWA over the last few days....too much to wrap my mind around.....imma back away.
But interesting post tho....

I posted this years ago. Now in wake of the mega success of the movie, WHY MARGINALIZE REN INVOLVEMENT AND CONTRIBUTION???? They gave his character only a few words like he was just there "hanging out". Like he had nothing better to do. "Man E you gonna let him talk to you like that?" was his biggest line. They had him portrayed as a monosyllabic hanger on. REN IS A VICTIM OF HIS OWN LOYALTY! Sometimes loyalty kills your career... By @artemusgordon via @RepostWhiz app: #RAPHOFFridays: WHEN KEEPING IT LOYAL GOES SOUTH. MC Ren is walking into not only the Hip Hop HOF but probably by next year, the Rock & Roll HOF too. Ren's problem is he stayed too long with Eazy and got accustomed to Eazy paying all the bills(house, car, gas, churren etc.) leaving him with "no headaches". That sort of "crutch" slows your growth and development. So by the time, first Cube then Dre, had it super crackin', it was too late for Ren to catch up. Ren was the second of the group(well third if you count The D.O.C as a member) to go platinum with his solo project trailing Cube. Then he got a group, C.P.O., signed to Capitol but after that....CRICKETS. With Eazy pouring all his attention into Bone Thugs and The Atban Klan(Will.I.Am & Apl), Ren was left to fend on his own. Ren found the Nation of Islam, hence the album, "Shock of the Hour", at then more crickets. He was torn between staying true to his new religion and being the gangsta rapper everyone grew up with. Cube mastered it but Ren couldn't. Ren was really selling beans pies and papers but very one else wasn't. Fast Forward to today, Dre and Cube are each THE man in their collective genres...and HAVE SOME CONTROL OVER THE N.W.A. movie coming soon(uh, you know I will give you the real deal....someday hahahahahaha). Ren and Yella, not so much. As for Ren salute but let's hope he can rise like a Phoenix from the ashes.

I've said it before and will say it again, most empires fall because of a Man's love or lust over a Woman. Two dynasties in ruin in part because of a "magic box"?? Let's start from the beginning. A young O'shea Jackson gets himself a girl he really likes named Michel'le Toussaint. Things are going good for him as he has a little popularity and penned as few songs that would go on to become classics. Ms. Toussaint can sing and O'shea brought her to the attention of his Big Homie that he looks up to, Andre Young. When O'shea has to go off to college he asks his Big Homie to watch his girl. Asking Andre this is akin to leaving a wolf to guard a hen house. Dre starts mixing Toussaint and when a singer doesn't show up for a session, he has her do vocals on the last song he ever recorded with his group, The World Class Wrecking Crew. The song "Turn Off The Lights" became a major hit everywhere except the East Coast. Hahahaha. When young O'shea returns from college he finds the woman he couldn't wait to see now "shacked up" with his big homie he would not dare cross. He of course like most men is hurt. He stays with the group but feels betrayed. He starts "Looking At The Front Door". This combined with other reasons(will discuss) makes his exit all the more easier. Now Ms. Toussaint thinks she is Dre's "main" but, like Dre's buddy, E, who is the boss, EVERY CHICK IS A SIDE CHICK. The two soon go and have a child together. Ms. Toussaint is turned on by power though. Who has the power? E has the power. So she slides over to E so he can get a "test drive". E mixes and ain't trippin' because he does this all day. When Dre finds out, like young O'shea, he isn't happy either so when the split comes it is easier too. He does take Ms. Toussaint with him to his new situation because she can make him $$$. But so volatile is their relationship, that one time Dre breaks her nose. Like I said, Ms. Toussaint loves power and at that time the man with the power is Dre's new boss, Marion Knight. They start mixing. Dre finds out and is unhappy again. When he does split from them it is all the more easier again. There is more but stew on this for a while...

Today I wanted to hit y'all over the head with some more of the N.W.A. saga but first I must address a few things. Folks, I'm not here to lie to you. That would be a waste of your time and more importantly, MINE! I present the truth because it is your right to know. This is not gossip or conjecture but facts to help you better understand the entire narrative. So with that being said, you don't have to @ anyone because they are ALREADY IN HERE. That's right all your favorites are in here. This is why this page is not private. I'm a simple shoe cobbler that been a few places and seen a few things. This story of N.W.A. wasn't pulled out the sky but told to Me STRAIGHT FROM THE HORSE'S MOUTH. Last night while at dinner, Michel'le or her friend came in here to refute what I posted earlier. Obviously following the directive Ms. Toussaint "SOLD" her she had the unmitigated gall to question @la_stormey 's position in this story. If anyone in here knows the in and outs of what I am posting it is @la_stormey. So I say all this to further illustrate that I speak from a POWER POSITION. Not third party off the cuff mumbo jumbo. If you can't tell by now, I am a stickler for historical accuracy and I believe if you're gonna present something to the people, you have to do it correctly. I don't mind MEDIATAKEOUT and others taking My stories, just spell My name correctly. If it were lies, you know someone would be screaming from the roof tops and My face would look just like Michel'le's and her new Dwight from Real Housewives of Atlanta nose.

Once again, I posted this years ago. I again ask a question about his role in the film, WHY LESSEN HIS CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE GROUP? DRE and YELLA produced all the music for N.W.A.. YELLA & DRE=High Powered Productions. BTW I will say this, his character and Eazy's were the only ones properly attired the entire movie. The rest had on costumes. Hahahahahaha By @artemusgordon via @RepostWhiz app: DJ Yella was the silent member of N.W.A not because he had nothing to say but because he is VERY FAR from the ignorance the others tried to display. Coming from a family of ALL accomplished doctors and lawyers except for one of his older brothers, standing behind he and Eazy, Yella was at first a disappointment to the family that he didn't follow In the family's scholastic footsteps. Once He made it big time they relented and recognized his craft. He never complained about the money they were getting because since he was the most loyal, Eazy ALWAYS looked out and also he didn't need it. Yella, like Dre and Eazy, wasn't at a loss for female companionship either. He always kept himself separate and never fell into the jealousy/envy mode that ultimately consumed Dre and Cube. I will break down the TRUE reason the group broke up coming soon on Globalgrind.com. After Eazy died, Yella became a successful porn director an still gets a check from Ruthless. He likes being anonymous and hopes it stays that way.

Once again I ask you all, "WHY MARGINALIZE HIS INVOLVEMENT??" The D.O.C. is just as much a part of N.W.A. as the rest of the members. I think I now understand why they played him like {Biz voice}"...a wet Food Stamp", because it didn't fit their "narrative". See in order to set up Dre and Cube as the "creative" forces within the group, you have to lessen the everyone else's contribution. To paint a clearer picture for you, while Dre is obviously the guy that is in charge of the music, he had D.O.C. "managing" the lyrics. D.O.C. is a writer's writer and at that time was your favorite Rapper's favorite Rapper. Busta Rhymes once said to Me, "The only one out of them(N.W.A.) that gets true respect on the East is D.O.C..." So in the movie they portray him as an aloof drunkard but he was right there writing alongside Cube AND Ren. D.O.C. wrote "We Want Eazy" and help write "Straight Outta Compton" amongst others. He would go on to write much of the second N.W.A. album, "EFIL4ZAGGIN", including the lead single, "Alwayz Into Somethin". Do you ever wonder why those initial Deathrow releases were so lyrically on point? One word: D.O.C., who also wrote the classic, "Nuthin' But A 'G' Thang". Did you notice that after those initial Deathrow releases the lyrical barrage went south? This is a result of D.O.C. "leaving" and trying to go back to Eazy. Dre managed to get him back in the fold once he left The 'Row and started Aftermath. There D.O.C. wrote, "The Next Episode". So again I ask, does a man this talented deserve to have his role diminished??? Oh and yeah, D.O.C. HAS HIS VOICE BACK. (Shouts to the LEGEND @djchristheglove {Google him and get a bar!})

Amongst the further incongruences of the film was the portrayal of Dre's first "boss", Lonzo. They made Lonzo out to be a "Curl activator Juice Out of Date Dinosaur" when in actuality he was very far from it. Lonzo had and probably still has serious street credibility that why in the movie Eazy and Ren were able to come up in his club dressed like Crips and not "sweated". This is a photo of Lonzo's house in the Athens Park section of Los Angeles. This is were N.W.A.'s initial recordings happened. "Boyz...", "8 Ball", "Gangsta...", etc. etc. right there in the back house. This is also where the guys used to hang out as well but it is in a ultra Blood neighborhood hence why the group only wore Black so there would not be any trouble. This also is where the World Class Wrecking Cru recorded their classic, "Turn Off The Lights" with Cube's girlfriend, Michel'le. The studio in the back is where Dre used to mix Michel'le on the low initially and where Jewell of Deathrow fame used to umm....let's say...umm "provide Stress Relief" for the guys. Yes, she was down with the group from the beginning and that is why she's on the second N.W.A. album playing the "hooker" they kidnap and kill on "One Less...". Oh and BTW, the reason the World Class Wrecking Cru dressed the way they did was at that time out here in LA the most popular group was, Ready For The World, and to capitalize on their success with the ladies, Lonzo decided to make a Rap group similar and it WORKED.

Okay this dude just hates ice cube.
In honor of Tracy Morgan's nuptials over the weekend, here is how he got on for those of your that are new here. Posted about 4 years ago... By @artemusgordon via @RepostWhiz app: #ORIGINS In honor of the ENORMOUS success of "Ride Along", this would've been the great character to portray. Just think, he would have had the ultimate Trifecta + 1. Part of a legendary group(N.W.A), legendary solo career, legendary film(FRIDAY) and the plus 1 with the legendary show(MARTIN). But hey he's doing well without it.

Yeah man I think there's truth to some of what he's saying but he definitely has an agenda so everything has to be taken with a grain of salt.

When you get into the business of Music as group of young Black males from the "street", many times you don't know what you in for. You may go in as "friends/brothers-to-the-end" but.... You fall into stardom "bright eyed and bushy tailed" not knowing that the path to success is not a straight line. In many cases, more important than the music portion is the leg work you have to do day to day to not only make your record "stick" but your career "pop" as well. Personality is KEY. K-E-Y. Too often than not many performers do interviews like they're taking mug shot photos. Drab, droll, and seemingly unhappy to be there. So because of this trend many media outlets direct their focus on one or a couple of members that are going to talk instead of the entire unit. Sometimes this causes great animosity between members thinking the one getting the focus is trying to get the "shine". The best example of this was shown the the film, "The Show", where Wu Tang members, Method Man, Ghostface, and U-God go at it regarding this very subject. If it wasn't for the vision and strength of Wu leader and founder, RZA, this moment in time could have fractured the group forever. As the meteoric rise of the "Straight Outta..." album grew N.W.A.'s star status, the group was being sought out by every media outlet both print and electronic. Eazy hated doing interviews and when he did they were VERY monotone and filled with profanity. Plus, they worked on the "Homeboy Honor System"=DOOWUTCHYALIKE. Dre, Yella, and Ren barely talked so that left the "kid" to do them and he did them well. Soon young Ice Cube was in demand to speak with. Although he might have "dumbed down" his speech, his interviews were highly intelligent and well thought out. Fresh from a two year stint in college, Cube was a man with some formal education and from a very well grounded two parent household. His parents were custodians at UCLA and wanted the best for their son and felt education was the key to success. People close to the group began to recognize this seed of greatness and the operation to extract him from the group and make him the preeminent star was now underway..

With the dearth of Female M.C.'s in Hip Hop plaguing the planet, it would have been great for "Straight Outta Compton" to show who really paved the way for N.W.A. and Ruthless Records. The first project to drop with the "RUTHLESS" logo was J.J. Fad, an all female Rap group. They were the ones who lit the fuse and gave Eazy and the Homies the time and more importantly, capital, to finish the album "Straight Outta Compton" comfortably. The Ladies' album went Gold bolstered by it's hit CLASSIC single, "Supersonic", which went platinum. The song was produced by the SIXTH member of N.W.A., Arabian Prince(top left). "Who AG??? I ain't heard of him and he ain't in the movie!!" In the beginning stages of the group and with no clear path to their niche, N.W.A. did both reality rap and dance music. The dance music portions were produced by Arabian Prince. Prince created "Panic Zone" and "Something To Dance To" for the group. His style of music was at the forefront of what is basically EDM today. He eventually left or was dismissed from them after a "disagreement" with Eazy. Hahahahhaha!! He landed on his feet though and signed what was then a big record deal with Orpheous Records. He was living good in a very nice section of LA rolling around in a brand new '90 convertible Porsche. I used to see him all the time and ask what he was doing and his answer was, "I'm selling big in Europe." Hey this is Rap music and sometimes you're "jammin' in Bucharest" harder than you are in Compton. BTW when(not if) the group gets elected to the Rock n' Roll Hall Of Fame, If I am him, I AM WALKING ON THAT STAGE RIGHT ALONGSIDE EVERYONE ELSE AND GETTING MY TROPHY!!!!!
