...come on let's picture the possibility...
One of the things he said when asked about the NWA film is that people were complaining that some parts looked liked it wasn't filmed in Compton. He said they had to go to Compton and re-film some parts because of it. I'm guessing that's why Dre, Cube and Game were in Compton when the Suge incident took place. Sort of ironic.
Says Bone could have outsold Thriller had Ruthless released Crossroads as the first single instead of the third or fourth single.
Not sure about that but they definitely would have sold a gang of a lot more had it been their first single. I know Bizzy said flat out that Tameka Wright and Ruthless was intentionally holding them back to the point where they would stop promoting their albums once the label re-couped. Wonder if that decision was done intentionally with Crossroads or if the label couldn't see what they had in that song?
Says he was raised on the same block Bone came from in Cleveland.
Said his problem with D.O.C. was that he brought Suge Knight into the picture.
Said that the D.O.C. was the best pure rapper, him and Rakim.
Will I Am used to be signed to Ruthless back in the day. He doesn't mention it but Hopsin was too.
Eazy-E paid someone seven hundred and fifty dollars to meet him, gave him Boys in the hood and the rest is history.
Says Cube's solo album was scheduled to drop next after the D.O.C.'s. That would have been crazy!
Still holds a grudge against Cube for No Vaseline. I guess it burns his damn soul.
Says Cube was jealous of the other members because they got all the girls.
Says Cube was younger than them and wasn't a real street dude.
Says he never stole money and that it's not possible to steal money in the business.lol I don't think him and Eazy stole money, I just think that they gave the artist messed up deals and the artist weren't fairly compensated.
Says Dre was taken care of but there's an interview with Nanci Fletcher where she says that Dre was broke and that Suge was also putting money in his pocket and that's why Dre stayed loyal to Suge for so long. Jerry does say that Suge got in Dre's ear but seems oblivious as to why he was able to get him to turn on them. MONEY ISSUES.
Says he put the owner of Live Nation/Ticket master in the game.
Says he got Dre the deal with Interscope because it became obvious that Dre didn't want to work for Ruthless any longer. I'm assuming he got paid out of the deal. - Eazy E: "Dre Day only makes Eazy payday." They got twenty cents every album the Chronic sold I'm assuming it was from that deal.
Says Arabian Prince just up and left the group one day for no reason.
Says Dj. Yella did the drums, programming and chose the tracks. Him and Dre were doing the production together,it wasn't all Dre like how we think.
etc. etc.
Great interview, I subscribed to the White Label Radio Youtube channel. :go:
