    There is always that one non believer. Suge was the most feared dude in the industry the entire 90's.

    He basically whopped everybody ass from Eazy, Daz, Badazz, Sam Sneed, Orlando... And that's just whats documented.

    Lemme bring our the stories.

    And BTW what dude said about him running over dude in cold blood.

    What u gotta understand is that Suge aint no dumb teen or 20's ? . He's a fully grown 50 year old man who knows better but still has zero regard for human life. He got kids bruh.

    Suge been bout that life.

    "The NWA biopic Straight Outta Compton has run into a serious snag, and Fantastic Four is to blame. Michael B. Jordan, who set haters aflame when he was cast as Johnny "The Human Torch" Storm, was being eyed to play a young Dr. Dre in the drama about the trailblazing rap group. However, Fantastic Four's shooting schedule has made him unavailable. Now producers are scrambling to find a cast to play teen-to-twenty-something versions of Dr. Dre, Ice Cube and the late Eazy-E.

    THR reports Jordan was a casting choice favored by Dr. Dre himself. He and Ice Cube are serving as producers on Straight Outta Compton, along with Eazy-E's widow, Tomica Wright. All three of these producers clearly have a vested interest in how NWA is presented in the film, and part of their powers include casting approval. But with Jordan out, there's no clear runner-up."

    found this a while back. Michael B. Jordan was supposed to be dre. But that abomination fantastic 4 took up his scheduling time. lol

    Interesting.

    This is proof hat when it comes to biopics, usually no name actors are best

    Just saw this tonight. My thoughts:

    1. The movie was a bit self-serving to Cube and Dre who produced the movie.

    2. Cube got WAAAAY more mic-time than Eazy and definitely Ren. Why do we need to hear Cube's verse on ? the police twice?

    3. Eazy came off bad. They show him downgrading his house, and breaking up weed instead of him firing back with Real Muthafuckin G's. I dunno, history is written by the winners I guess.

    4. The guy that they got to play Yella looked just like him.

    5. It will be interesting to see Cube's son in another role.

    ? he died of AIDS while Cube and Dre catapulted to MAINSTREAM stardom. How the hell u expect them to finesse that??

    They HAD to address the obvious 'eat ass face' angle to that. Thats literally what takes NWA story to the next level is Cube and Dre success afterward

    Why we talkin bout NWA before Dwath Row, PE, etc. Its,because who Dre and Cube became. Period. That's honesty

    The only nitpicking i would do is the Dre Day video is significant in the end of the NWA story and coulda been covered. That ? was huge

    From a non-west coast perspective, fair or not a LOT of people's perception/introduction of Eazy was as he was played by AJ Jamal in that video. Chris Rock made a whole damn movie off that video lol

    Suge is Freddy Krueger. He exist in your mind and not in real life. The only reason why some people are still running with the narrative that Suge USED TO BE as hard as nails is because some of them think he's thru.

    Even though technically this is a case of self defense from armed gang members on a one way street who clearly had weapons because that too was caught on camera. Which is also what everybody else is ignoring.

    The only testimonies we have on Suge are from a handful of Ex-Employees who were fresh off the street and new to the business (with the exclusion of the co-founder Dr. Dre) and his Ex-Wife who had a baby with his former co-founder [no disrespect to them]. Think about exactly it is that these sources are coming from. Because there's literally Thousands of other folks who would tell you tha opposite of Ol Boy.

    Trauma is a real thing. Maybe Terry was acting suspicious that day and displayed behavior and said some things that didn't sound right. Or maybe Terry was in on something and didn't know Bone was going to take it that far, like shoot him or have him surrounded by Armed Bloods on a one way street. I've seen friends do shiesty ? to "friends" and everyone involved were good people. It's not unlikely that Suge walked into a setup

    Hutch needs to stop actin like everything was All Good between him, dre, and death row. It wasn't until the end of July 2015 that we finally saw him and Dre and the rest of them on the same page. I've been watching my Brotha for years diss the ? out them dudes (including way after Death Row disbanded) and now he's slandering my man.


    I don't pretend to know everything or take every interview as gospel but I'm not silly either. My man just wants to eat but he don't really realize what he doin smh. Now all of a sudden Hutch is best friends with Dre and enemies with Suge. Lol, he spent most of his career dissin Dre

    Tomicka Wright was given producer credits with Dre & Cube

    Im sure if anyone knows Eazy got roughed up it would be her... So imma guess he was touched

    Master P dont know. Tomicka does

    That's what i was saying, everybody saying Dre and Cube tried to make E seem broke.
    But you had Ren, Yella and Tomicka helping with the storyline because they were still around E so they would know that side.

    Just saw it yesterday. Way better than i thought it would be. These other biopics arent gonna come close to as good as this film was. Definitely purchasing this movie when it drops and is a must see for any fan of hip hop.
