I actually agree with this.
It's weird that you never see Dre and Warren G together at this point.
He not on compton album ( while all dre artist are there including game)
ddnt see him with dre during SOC movie/promotion
They barely talk abt him in his doc , u knw something wrong here right

Finally watching. My takeaway is that all of these dudes are incredibly lucky. From Jimmy to Dre to Eminem... all of them caught major lucky breaks.
Dre is specifically lucky because he almost blew it a few times.
It's interesting to watch tho.

finally watching this....it's on the first episode, and it trips me out the differences by how they got started.....dre had to bust his ass to get noticed/on...jimmy slacked his ass off, had people do work for him, and got put on cause of fam connections....it trips me out cause it shows how we (blacks) in most cases really do have to go above/beyond, and get lucky as hell to get to places, while our white counterparts can just fall into shyt that's waiting on them, for when they finally decide to do something with their lives.....just damn....

I recently heard jimmy do a long interview on the howard stern show, so I knew most his backstory which is the same as in this the documentary obviously. what I was suprised about is that they actually touched on dr dre putting them hands on that one journalist. I mean we know he put his hands on a few women over the years, but they didn't talk about that. and unlike straight outta compton, they at least didn't totally skip over it.
dre was damn near finished if the eminem move didn't work out. aftermath was struggling at the time.
still can't believe he walked away from death row and took none of the company equity with him.

in this documentary, dre went out of his way to mention his other half brother who was killed at age 21 and warren g was never even mentioned at all in 4+ hours.
Suge would have him fearing for his life if he tried to take it, it was a good move.

Game was barely mentioned in the documentary either, in fact he had less mention than 50

Really out chea
It's definately something there. You can tell from Warren's interviews & podcast appearances when he tells his story and hosts ask why Dre didn't help. Warren sounds frustrated and replies stuff like "you gotta read my upcoming book." Check Warren's Combat Jack and Too Short's Boombox podcast appearances. In the Ruthless day, Warren said Above The Law took him in, gave him a place to stay and taught him production techniques. He talks about feeling lost when he was left out of Death Row. Said he preproduced many of The Chronic songs and brought em to Dre.
Dre did some bogus stuff and Warren wound up making it on his own on the East Coast. Im sensing some of it may have to do with him seeing Suge really ran Death Row and Dre let Suge treat Warren any kind of way and not even entertainthe thought of signing.
Game is sort of insignificant in the grand scheme of Dre's story (even tho he's from Compton. 50 on the otherhand is an international megastar with one of the biggest albums of all-time. But, he didn't bow down to Jimmy insisting he promote Beats headphones instead of SMS Audio. No Beats promo, no love from Jimmy
