Kokane Says Ice Cube Is "Doing Something Wrong And Foul" With N.W.A Biopic

[IronFist]

Exclusive: Kokane says that Ice Cube should talk to Eazy-E children and Above The Law, among others, in order to properly tell N.W.A's story.

As a member of Eazy-E's Ruthless Records, G-funk pioneer Kokane helped the Godfather of Gangster Rap build a brand that would serve as the prototype for Hip Hop's independent label business model.

But with the buzzed about N.W.A biopic, which is being produced by Ice Cube's CubeVision production company, already in the casting process, Kokane worries that his former boss' legacy is being misrepresented.

In an exclusive interview with HipHopDX, the west coast crooner says he refuses to sit idly by.

"We put a proposal together called 'Protecting the Ruthless Legacy' that we want to get on The Arsenio Hall Show," said Kokane, whose critically new album, Shut da F#@! Up & Cut Da Checc, hit iTunes Jan. 14. "We gettin' it done right now as we speak. Everybody's agreed. And it's gonna be beautiful to see. We'll have all [Eazy’-Es] kids come on, MC Ren, Big Hutch, Yella, J.J. Fad and we're gonna tell the real story because, Ice Cube, I don't fault you for doing this movie. You're a genius, and you show that stereotypes can be lifted off of us, but at the same time you are doing something that's wrong and foul. You're purposely leaving out certain information that is vital to the story."

Kokane said that Ice Cube is making a movie without getting the facts from the people that witnessed it first-hand.

"It's sad cause you see Cube, you see all these people doing this N.W.A movie honoring Eazy, but they're not even getting internal,” Kokane said. "They're lying saying that they're getting in touch with people, but Eazy's children didn't even get a phone call. I didn't get a phone call. Above The Law didn't get a phone call and it's like they're doing it for profit, but they're not doing it authentically from the heart. It's unethical and it's foul. it's like you don't care. You guys care about getting money. But you know the good thing about it: There's always hope out there to have the real story told. It's increments. You gotta go back and touch the people if you wanna get the truth, because there's so much blockage as far as capital. It's a story that if it's told right and somebody can crack open this thing wide enough, everything else is gonna be the prototype for every other story. Trust me."

Kokane is looking to bring the West Coast full-circle with his new label, Bud E Boy Ent., which features a roster of artists and producers from various locations, including one that with ties to the past.

"I'm working with Eazy's son, E3, and he sounds just like his dad," Kokane said. "It's fitting because the way I'm running my company comes from the blueprint that Eric [Eazy-E's given name] started."

This is retarded. This isn't an Eazy E or Rutheless Records documentary it's about N.W.A. Cube, Dre and D.O.C. should have enough knowledge to be able to tell the story correctly, it might be slightly biased, but so would a Jerry Heller helmed movie.

Kokane wasn't even around during the first album was he? And why does he need to consult with Eazy's kids when they had nothing to do with N.W.A.?

Just do your own thing then. I'm sure Cube remembers NWA better than Eazy's kids.

seems like they were always tension between Kokane and Cube. I remember reading where Ko was mad at the fact, Cube didnt mention him in the film (supposedly )

Kokane plays a minor part in N.W.A.'s history, he doesn't need to be mentioned.

I could see the movie mainly focusing on the early stages of their career anyway.

Damn this nikka got fat.

This is not even an Eazy Biopic, its about the group NWA. Eazy's kids were in elementary school when Eazy died. Dudes are crabs I swear.

Ol "You telling my life ass nikka. Make your own movie.

 

[Robbie3000]

Plus Eazy's estate signed off on the movie.

I agree with the bul yo. NWA didn't end when Cube left so he has to go holla at the cats at ruthless such as Ko who were around after Cube left. Other than that he is only going to be telling the NWA story while he was still apart of the group which is only one real NWA album (Str8 outta CPT). NWA dropped more material after Cube left than when he was with them (100 miles and runnin' and NFL). If he's going to tell the story he needs to tell the entire thing and that includes after he stepped off. If Cube does this right he can create a masterpiece. If he screws up we'll look at the film the same way we look at the Biggie film. :jaz:

What I really want to see is the Eazy-E Ruthless documentary from Ruthless Propaganda. That trailer i saw looked ill as hell!

Plus Eazy's estate signed off on the movie.

Not trying to be funny but so what? Afeni signed off on Loyal to the game and alot of other bs. Cube still needs to holla at the cats close to Eazy and Ko is one of them.

Next thing we know, The Egyptian Lover is going to demand that his side of the story be included as well. Some of these dudes are extra material in the grand scheme of things.
