Re: "ICE CUBE WAS ALWAYS DR DRE'S "SON" DON'T BELIEVE THE MOVIE" WellDamn? Artemus Go

This is the same shit Gerald LeVert went through with that group he put out (Written All Over Your Face). Gerald wrote and produced all of the songs and got radio play for the songs, and they got mad when he made most of the money.

You know the business Chuck, Cube was the star, not one of these cats he signed besides Maxk 10 ever made any moves without him.

Yeah I believe so.

Also, when their group was beefing, one of the members accused another member of the group of fucking Eazy's widow which caused them even more problems and created more of a division. I can't remember who said it though.

They said it was the light skinned cat that did it. All kinds of fucked up rumors about that shit. I stayed way out of it.

Anyway, I reiterate: This dude is talking out the side his neck. These dudes relationships were way more complex that the movie showed.

Ren was at, and performed with Dre at the Death Row release party for GF entertainment. So the lines were always blurred. The only cat that stayed loyal to Eazy was Yella, cause he needed the shine.

The production style called "G FUNK" was created by the two men on either side of Dr. Dre, Big Hutch(right) a.k.a. Cold 187um and Laylaw(left). Hutch is the lead rapper and man in charge of Rap group, Above The Law. He is also the nephew of legendary R&amp;B singer/producer/songwriter extraordinaire, Willie Hutch. Many of you know Willie Hutch from his heavily sampled soundtrack for the cult classic film, "The Mack", which have turned into songs like "International Player's Anthem" for UGK &amp; Outkast and "Definition Of A Thug Ni***" for 2PAC just to name a couple. If D.O.C. Is the "official unofficial" 6th member of N.W.A., then Laylaw is the 7th! He was right there assisting in many production duties for the 3 N.W.A. albums. Law and his production, along with the LA uprising, were responsible for changing 2PAC's "Troublesome 21" into "Strictly 4 My N.I.G.G.A.Z...." When Above The Law was trying to get on, they were brought to Eazy's attention by Law, who's brother Go Mack, was one of their DJ's. Their debut album was their demo and surprisingly polished for a new group. When they signed, all Dre did was re-fit some tracks. Above The Law's second project, "Vocally Pimpin'"(listen for yourself) was basically the blueprint for what would become Dre's musical taste during the time of making his beyond classic, "The Chronic". During this time, Hutch was working with an up and coming rapper named, Snooper Duper. Working so much together, either Hutch sounded like Snooper or Snooper sounded like Hutch. Snooper also happened to be good friends with Dre's step brother, Warren, who eventually brought him to meet his brother. The rest as they say is musical history layered in Platinum records. Law would go on to become A&amp;R over at Aftermath. Hutch would eventually go on to run Deathrow Records for a sec when Suge was in jail, BTW, if you know Dre, you will notice he doesn't work with "older" artists or artists that have previously been out and haven't had a hit a quite some time. So why would you think Dre put Hutch on his new "COMPTON" album? Feelings of guilt for jacking his style maybe? Dunno...ߘɼ/a></p> <p style=" color:#c9c8cd; font-family:Arial,sans-serif; font-size:14px; line-height:17px; margin-bottom:0; margin-top:8px; overflow:hidden; padding:8px 0 7px; text-align:center; text-overflow:ellipsis; white-space:nowrap;">A photo posted by @artemusgordon on <time style=" font-family:Arial,sans-serif; font-size:14px; line-height:17px;" datetime="2015-08-31T22:03:07+00:00">Aug 31, 2015 at 3:03pm PDT</time></p></div></blockquote>

Ronald Ronnie Hudson also helped them create that G-Funk sound.
 
Re: "ICE CUBE WAS ALWAYS DR DRE'S "SON" DON'T BELIEVE THE MOVIE" WellDamn? Artemus Go

Not getting publishing is one of the reasons these cat's was broke in the first place!! :lol::lol:

Doc sold all of his rights to Eazy for like 10K and some drank! :smh:

There was this cat I knew back in the from Dallas named Dazzlin Pran. He was in an earlier version of the Fila Fresh Crew, but he kept in touch with D.O.C. He once told me that Doc writing verses for Dre in exchange for new furniture for his crib sometimes, instead of publishing, which now I know that E got.:smh:


Funny how the D.O.C. was quiet in this interview:

Out of easy's own mouth that Priority was the reason that the group broke up.

I musta missed that part. :confused:
 
Re: "ICE CUBE WAS ALWAYS DR DRE'S "SON" DON'T BELIEVE THE MOVIE" WellDamn? Artemus Go

He know's where the money was at and Daz wasn't anyone to be worried about not even for Eazy

Daz didn't know what the fuck he was talking about at ALL in that interview. :lol:
 
Re: "ICE CUBE WAS ALWAYS DR DRE'S "SON" DON'T BELIEVE THE MOVIE" WellDamn? Artemus Go

Part of the story is true. Hutch has dope ideas, but can't bring them out fully. Dre tightened up all his sloppy production and polished it up. Sony felt, and David Glew the President of Epic Bragged that Above the Law would be their first gold Rap album.

For the hype (Murder Rap banned by MTV) and overall money they spent, the shit was a flop. This is where it gets funny, and why cat's are dumb as rocks.

They go into Epic and tell Hank Caldwell and Glew that Dre didn't produce the album, Hutch did copping pleas and shit. Well, Epic was like, no wonder that shit didn't sell and made they drop an EP of their own production. :lol::lol::smh::smh:

They dropped that Garbage ass Vocally Pimpin shit and got dropped.

Dre got his G-funk from Rhythm D. He was one of the first producers on Death Row and that is the sound he brought to the table. Just like the entire attitude of Snoop was Lord 3-2 of the Convicts who were supposed to be the first Group off Death Row, but Lil J wouldn't release them.

Once I get back to the house I think it's time I finally drop off a couple of joints from the early days of the Row.

Release that shit mayne!!!! :dance:

Yeah I believe so.

Also, when their group was beefing, one of the members accused another member of the group of fucking Eazy's widow which caused them even more problems and created more of a division. I can't remember who said it though.

Layzie was banging Tomica.

Daz didn't know what the fuck he was talking about at ALL in that interview. :lol:

Daz said that he'd sold more records than Eazy ever did! Easy was like "Have you seen a million dollars?!"
 
Re: "ICE CUBE WAS ALWAYS DR DRE'S "SON" DON'T BELIEVE THE MOVIE" WellDamn? Artemus Go

I like when Daz said Eazy didn't know the DOC and then Eazy and DOC start talking business.
 
Re: "ICE CUBE WAS ALWAYS DR DRE'S "SON" DON'T BELIEVE THE MOVIE" WellDamn? Artemus Go

I gotta give it up to Dre because this statement is too true. Nowadays I feel like I'm listening to one very loooong Future song. Very few want to BE the flow because it's much easier to be a PART of the flow.

Let Me start today off with the hashtag #rip2pac. I would like you all to Repost, Retweet, Double Tap, share, or scream this all day. The Art Exhibit drops this A.M. as well. Now for the AG on IG Soapbox side of things..... As a result of the ENORMOUS success of "Straight Outta Compton", the makers of the planned "TUPAC" film have now been put on notice. What you have here in the PAC film some may argue is THE most important individual story in the annals of Hip Hop/Rap music. The ABSOLUTE KEY to any biopic is THE MUSIC! Not alternative versions. Not out takes. Not Remixes. THE ACTUAL SONGS THAT BOTH YOU, I, AND THE ENTIRE WORLD FELL IN LOVE WITH! I am not getting that reassurance that those rights are firmly secured. You see what made "RAY", "Straight...", or even "NOTORIOUS" that much more compelling is that very fact. The problem with PAC's legacy, is that it is strewn across different labels. Whereas they might have the backing of Warner Brothers and the first three albums tied to them, the folks who now own Deathrow, I surmise want a significant piece of the pie which in turn is a whole 'nother complex situation. I understand his Mother's reluctance here. On one hand she would like to tell the story of her son whom she knew as the poet and activist whereas We want THE LEGEND. The biggest or let's say THE MOST INFLUENTIAL figure in the history of Hip Hop to which 85% of these folks rapping are trying to copy off his test today. I do not want Afeni to miss some key points like some people feel Ms. Wallace did with BIG's story and it not sit well with people so in turn the movie suffers. Afeni probably wants the movie huge and if she can't get that, then not do it at all. This is a legacy that you can't bastardize. It is better suited for a mini series than 2 1/2 hours. The N.W.A. Project worked well because two of the principles are so entrenched in American Pop culture that they were already known to audience unfamiliar to the project. Casting? If you don't have someone who can carry that weight DO NOT DO IT! "Straight..." was lucky that all those over runs and takes....never mind that's too much inside info. But you get the drift...

Re: "ICE CUBE WAS ALWAYS DR DRE'S "SON" DON'T BELIEVE THE MOVIE" WellDamn? Artemus Go

Cube isn't the most fair dude. He is a style jacker, and has been since his days in CIA, but as far as the business, he's doing it just like the CAC's. Brothers thought it was going to be on some homie shit.

that's his point. You have to see all his posts about Cube versus the perception he's now created.

The one thing I can say is incorrect is when he says know one else complained.

Even though they've always shown love to Eazy I've seen countless interviews through the years where Bone have complained about how terrible their contracts were and how bad they got jerked at Ruthless so it wasn't just Dre, Cube, and the D.O.C.

Even on the unsung though, they said the problems began when he died. Before he died he made sure they were taken care of to which she replied that she could only do what the estate allowed...
 
Re: "ICE CUBE WAS ALWAYS DR DRE'S "SON" DON'T BELIEVE THE MOVIE" WellDamn? Artemus Go

That Eazy and DAz argument is classic. :lol: He's arguing with his kids and shit. :lol: Eazy making more money off Daz than he was damn. :lol:
 
Re: "ICE CUBE WAS ALWAYS DR DRE'S "SON" DON'T BELIEVE THE MOVIE" WellDamn? Artemus Go

I don't know who IG that is but its clear he has beef with Cube. I don't know how y'all can't see it. Dude hates Cube as if he's a disgruntled employee or Cube fucked his bitch. But the tone when he writes about everyone else is completely different than when its about Cube.

don't watch any hollywood movie then lol
all the writer's/producers/editors/post production folks have white people on them.

Exactly lol. Nevermind that the actors, producers and director is black. That's crazy.
 
Re: "ICE CUBE WAS ALWAYS DR DRE'S "SON" DON'T BELIEVE THE MOVIE" WellDamn? Artemus Go

Growing up in the greater Los Angeles area I know that many of US here are BURNT but never before this burnt as We are today. I thought it was just Me that recognized it and I attributed it to Lean but this makes brings things into focus. Meth for years was known and notorious for being the drug of choice for gay men as it is said to make one "fearless" or willing to "try anything". Now it makes sense when you roll through the various "Black &amp; Brown" communities you see some of the wildest scenarios ever. Hmmm....{thinks out loud}"Breaking. Bad. Ends. And. Meth. Use. Rises. Naaaaah!!! I'm Buggin'!" Right?

Re: "ICE CUBE WAS ALWAYS DR DRE'S "SON" DON'T BELIEVE THE MOVIE" WellDamn? Artemus Go
With every first record deal record labels should include the phrase "You Know You Done F***** Up, Right?" It is an inevitable right of passage. Most artists do not realize until 6 months in when checks are due and they're like, "Haaaaaay wait a minute! What happened to my dough? I sold all dem songs???" Yo-Yo's UNSUNG was cool but she left out a HELLUVA LOT! I'm glad she touched on her relationship with PAC but I understand why she couldn't go into detail because when you were his woman like 8 other women would be saying the same thing! I did not like the fact she did not mention when you're signed to a production company(Street Knowledge) first and then a label(East West America) the bread is sliced even more ways out of your pocket. Young Yolanda Whitaker thought she hit the "Motherlode" when she signed with the hottest rapper in the game at the time, Ice Cube, and a female label exec who was all about female empowerment, Sylvia Rhone and her East West Records. As a result of the times, the first album was a "street success" which means everyone knew about it BUT, that doesn't translate into sales. Yeah you are famous but you are broke. She appeared as an act in tour with Cube but as always with him, your not getting a separate check from the promoter, Cube is going to pay you and pay you in "shine" not $$$$. Once Cube and "others" fell out with Sylvia Rhone, Yo-Yo and the rapper KAM, both signed to Street Knowledge and Sylvia, were doomed. There's entirely too much to type in this story because it should be a Lifetime movie and Yo-Yo can play herself. But, there's no "white man" beating N***** out of there money here so I wonder....

: This photo should be entitled "2 of 2PAC's Exes and his Ex's DJ" Now on the real, Monie Love's journey to America is a movie in itself. Unlike Yo-Yo's, Monie's is more than Lifetime TV worthy, it is best served on the silver screen. You would learn A LOT. "Wayment AG, I order you to tell us NOW!"

  • artemusgordon#AGonIGSoapbox: Most of these young girls coming up think that by pushing the envelope like Madonna, they will end up in the same stratosphere as well. NOT TRUE AT ALL!! The difference between Madonna and these Bozos is GREAT SONGS and equally GREAT STAGE PERFORMANCES! This right here what Miley is doing is akin to screams of desperation because the latest album flopped more than it is drugs. "But AG where are her parents????" Right there alongside her but since Miley is the breadwinner, she calls the shots. Sad but true. They have rationalized it as "ARTISTIC FREEDOM" instead of snatching her right off stage by her ear but hey what do I know.....
 


  • artemusgordon#AGonIGSoapbox: Since many of you refuse to give M.C. REN his props, he feels he needs to take them. A legend in arguably the most legendary Rap group and he still feels regulated to third tier status. I know what he did and wrote but most don't. That movie marginalized him and he feels he can't win. I will say this though, much is his fault. Too loyal and too dependent on Eazy will have you like this despite heading to the Rock n' Roll Hall of Fame on an Express ticket.

  • artemusgordon#AGonIGSoapbox: Finally a photo of them together. THIS was his main, well let's say he took real good care of her financially. She blew it when E found out that was mixing _________ because E didn't care about her and Gerald Levert's love affair. Mikki Howard LOVES money and Gerald couldn't compete with E in that realm but neither could _______ but it was the principle. Like I said before, E always felt these "hoes are for everybody".
 


  • artemusgordon#AGonIGSoapbox: So you would like Me to believe that if the FBI and whichever city, state, or federal agency is following Me everyday, E-V-E-R-Y-D-A-Y, and I get shot that they are not supposed to report what they saw? Add this along to having My phone, Jimmy Henchman's phone, and _______ tapped so they knew what was going on. Plus you have Officer Craig McKernan arrest Me for sexual battery and then show up here at the assassination attempt to be the officer in charge? Hmmm........ "As I started to research the Black Panther Party I came across an article in 1994 in the Washington Post about Tupac Shakur being shot in the Quad Recording Studios. The reporter of the article stated that in another strange twist, the same police officer that showed up at the sexual assault scene a year earlier was the first one to arrive at the scene of the Quad Recording shooting near Time Square.
    So, I researched more of what happened at the Quad Recording Studio and contacted Tupac’s trial lawyer who was representing him in the sexual assault case, which was happening at this same time. I asked him do you think the FBI is targeting Tupac like they targeted his parents with the Counter Intelligence Program . Michael Warren who was his lawyer at the time, said yes, and no one is writing about it."
 
This one is very interesting!



Today is the anniversary of the assassination of THE most famous Black Man in the U.S., Sam Cooke(top left), in his day by that piece of **** in the bottom right corner, Allen Klein.

By @artemusgordon via @RepostWhiz app:
#AGonIGSoapbox: I wanted to post a lot of things today but not before I acknowledged the 50th Anniversary of the ASSASSINATION of arguably the most important figure in the history of Black Music, SAM COOKE. Sam is the reason that today We have all these so-called label owners/artists combos. He was not only the first but THE BEST. Again as I posted before, his roster included FIVE quintuple 1st ballot HOFers: The Rolling Stones, Bobby Womack, Sonny & Cher, Lou Rawls, and Johhnie Taylor. Sam was killed by his own business partner and the DEVIL HIMSELF, Allen Klein(bottom right) for that very said roster. Klein forced Ms. Bertha Lee Franklin(top right) to take the rap for Sam's death under the guise of, "Some drunk nude guy tried to rape me and I didn't recognize who I shot." BULLS***!!!!!!!!!!!!! SAM WAS ONLY THE MOST RECOGNIZABLE BLACK MAN IN THE U.S.(besides MLK)!! Klein wanted SAR(Sam and Allen Records which he turned into ABKCO Records) for himself and knew Sam found out that Allen was cheating him out of money and was firing him immediately. Sam was The first 2PAC. Militant, driven, ALL of the women wanted to sleep with him and ALL of the men wanted to be him. Sam was Jay Z. Smooth, effortless, and business minded. The man ALL his peers looked up to. He was so large that he wasn't subject to the L.A. Jim Crow laws of the day. He was killed because Allen was jealous. Sam looked at a girl and it was "Splash. Waterfalls." Just because Allen WORKED WITH AND for Sam, The Beatles signed over a part of their publishing to him! Sam was THE personification of Black Excellence.
