Ice Cube Explains Lil Eazy-E's Absence In The N.W.A Biopic, Casts MC Ren And DJ Yella Roles

[Remy Danton]

The Eazy E hologram most likely will record a diss record.

lol there you go

damn dont Eazy have like 4 or 5 sons?

 

[OnlyInCalifornia]

lol there you go

damn dont Eazy have like 4 or 5 sons?

Yup but not a single one can rap. Better off using the hologram to respond.

 

[Malik]

That's weak. You can't say that then hire your own son. Ice Cube led an interesting life too....you had a huge fallout with NWA, was the only one to call out Jerry Heller and you went on to be a superstar rapper turned actor on your own. Can your non-actor son play that part?

 

[Rapmastermind]

After John Singleton Put Cube in "Boyz in the Hood" and "Higher Learning" when he himself had no acting range is comical that he's using the excuse against Lil Eazy. He makes it like Eazy part is going to win that actor an Oscar, lol.

Also the kid is a spitting image of his father:

 

[Danie84]

...maybe, Lil E didn't want to stick to the script

 

[Silver Surfer]

He prolly bombed during the audition....he should leak the tape of his audition and see what the public says

 

[scuba]

Isn't Ice Cube producing this joint?

Look folks, if dude is putting up 20 million to make a movie, then you know what... he has every right not to want to risk that on a dude who didnt look like he could hold down the role. As far as his son goes, its his son and he maybe dude is willing to risk 20 million on his son pulling it off but he aint will to risk that much on lil e, next off plenty of good movies have 1 bad actor in them, very few good movies have multiple bad actors in significant roles.

 

[Scientific]

Cube isn't directing it, so ultimately wouldn't it have been up to the director?

Either way, with movies either being rashes, or biopics, Im not being very optimistic.

 

[Rapmastermind]

^^^^^
Cube is the producer though that's why he had personal say over who played him.

 

[Scientific]

Obviously he's going to have some clout over his role. But if the director is there making the call during the auditions, you at least have to show come chops no?

as far as the Boyz and John Singleton comparison, its a different situation. My understanding was that when he wrote the script, he had an idea for Cube. When you write a script, with the idea for a person/actor to play the part you have some creative wiggle room. Your work around the actors, strengths and flaws.

In a biopic, you can either depict the person accurately or not. Im not excusing Cube for the obvious nepotism, but I don't think he has any reason not have included Lil E on it.

 

[My Girl is Bow Legged]

after the cast was announced I pretty much lost all interest...how corny is it to have your son play you lol

nikkas said fukk integrity lets just make a family project

 

[Rapmastermind]

The same way Puffy, Faith and Voletta did the Notorious Movie from their perspective. This is going to be done in Dre and Cube's perspective and Eazy beefed with both of them so I'm not sure we will get the true side from Eazy perspective in this.

But cube is a good actor and john singleton saw that in him. Y'all ever stop to think that maybe lil e was not good in auditions. Is cube suppose to say you got the part even though you're terrible.

 

[Nino Soprano]

Nikka thinking too deep into this

Lil E was prolly trash during the auditions

Atleast he still part of the project by coaching the dude who's playin Eazy
