I said the same thing -
Unlike a lot of groups that have a weak link, REN was Far from weak
Just saw the trailer. They didn't not only show Ren or Yella but they also broadcasted Cube, Easy and Ice's name. I would feel a way too
Must be sarcasm because.......
Lyrically, NWA was Cube and Ren.

She was in Black Tail magazine? I wanna see the pics too then. Ren was always one of my personal favorites, but this comes as no surprise. I'd be surprised if casual rap fans or anyone under 30 knew who he was. He never achieved a big level of commercial success.
Would George Harrison or Ringo get as much play as John and Paul in a Beatles movie?
This shit is par for the course and logic and would hold true with any popular group. There are always members who will be more popular and known. I can see why he is mad but I don't think its a valid point overall. They may be equal in contribution but they aren't in popularity. With a movie to sell I doubt anyone wants to see a half an hour of MC Ren
In an hour and a half or so of movie with five people to cover I wouldn't want them to waste time on the lesser known members, it doesn't make sense.
In reality Ren is just as important a member to the group as Dre, Cube, or Eazy but he's nowhere near the icon or as popular as each of those are individually with or without the group.

what?, dude!!, ...dumbest shit I ever heard regarding nwa, you must be deaf.....come on, Ren wasn't a great rapper, he was at the right place at the right time.......
That what happens when Dre, Cube and Tomica Wright are the executive producers. And the movie co-produced by Cube Vision.
Trailers been out for months. He just now realizing his name is not mentioned once.

Edit: Anyone got them Black Tail pics of Tomica Wright?

Motherfucker whining about not being in a TRAILER fam.![]()

There is no NWA without the mutha fuckin Ruthless Villian. There should be no trailer, movie or anything else talking about NWA without him in the forefront. Nigga practically wrote everything. Shit is mad disrespectful.![]()
the nicca who had no business trying to rap was AND STILL IS, dr. dre.
produce and stfu.
"I get plenty of ass so call me an astronaut!"![]()
My question is this: what caused Ren to suddenly and randomly lash out on Wednesday, June 10 when the trailer has been out since at least FEBRUARY? Had he not seen the trailer before this week? Does he not have access to Youtube? There's a LOT more to this story than Ren being butthurt months after the fact about not getting namechecked in a movie trailer.MC Ren Slams N.W.A 'Straight Outta Compton' Movie Trailers: 'How the Hell You Leave Me Out?'
MC Ren took to social media to express his frustration with Universal Pictures for not depicting him in the Straight Outta Compton ovie trailers.
“Man f--- these bitches at universal pictures leaving me out the movie trailers tryin to rewrite history,” he tweeted on Wednesday.
ofcourse "We" know who Ren is,, the problem is the trailer isn't being marketed to "Us",, most white people know dre thru eminem & the headphones,, they know cube from "Friday",, they know Easy E as one the dead rappers,, but they are not familiar with ren or yella
hollywood markets movies to whites, not you,, they automatically know you are going to see the movie because Black people are in it,, however trying to get whites to see a "Black movie" is a harder sell
So you dudes who keep saying it's only a trailer
If you don't acknowledge him in the trailer, what are the chances of him being a major part of the movie?
To being a bit cast member of something you helped start and were a creative force behind is disrespectful.
Doesn't matter if he's a major part of the movie. He's definitely in the movie from what I hear.
He's not a major part of the group in context. Dre produced, eazy I guess financed it and kicked it off, and Cube wrote the best shit as well as became a successful solo artist.
Eazy died early, as well as launched Bone so he's more famous.
Dre and Cube are still working and making moves.
Yella and Ren are just not as famous as them.
I'll wait to see the movie. If they don't mention him at all, then that's a problem. If they have someone playing him and he's just in bit parts on stage and in the background then that's accurate and goes along with the way films work.
Arabian Prince had better be in it. "Panic Zone" was NWA's greatest record.
Whao!!! He was the backbone of that group when Cube bounced.
He was the victim of bad marketing.
Exactly. Who niggas think wrote the rhymes once Cube bounced after SOC??? Ren and DOC.
