Hell, most of this is more falsified than the Straight Outta Compton movie itself! And clearly he has something against Ice Cube. The only truth he said about Cube was he went to college in Arizona for a year between '87-88. The OUTRIGHT lie is this claim he already had a contract to which virtually EVERYONE directly involved said he had never ever signed and this was common knowledge. That was why it was so easy for Cube to just bounce, because he wasn't under any obligations. shyt, you got old Pump It Up video interviews showing him still living with his parents, not remotely having the kind of money that was possibly owed to him, because he never was under any real contract anyway. Now what is POSSIBLY true is why he may of left which part of it being money that was owed to him and Bryan Turner from Priority swaying in and boosting up Cube's ego saying you don't need NWA, and wanted Cube to sign with Priority exclusively. Which was the SMART business decision by Cube. Cube even said it in "No Vaseline", "We started off with too cargo/ dropped four nikkaz now I'm making all the dough".
The talk about him running to New York because of Above the Law is misinformation. The encounter between ATL and Da Lench Mob happened IN New York at the Music Seminar in 1990 AFTER "AmeriKKKa's Most Wanted" (which was somewhat accurately depicted in the movie). The reason why Cube went to NY was because he originally wanted 3rd Bass' producer to do his album. He actually tried to get Dr. Dre to do it, but Dre was contractually obligated with Ruthless. When he went to Def Jam looking for 3rd Bass and bumped into Chuck D. Chuck D urged him to get back with NWA because he felt that rappers going solo aren't going to be as successful as rap groups (which back in the day, most rappers were in groups because it was harder to get put on solo, only a select few were able to succeed). Cube stated to Chuck there was no way he would ever return which was at that moment Chuck D decided why not him and his production team do Cube's album. Cube's influence with the NOI and five percent nation was due to hanging out with P.E. and not for some so-called "protection".
A HUGE slander is the part about Michele. DJ Vlad for a whole HOUR PLUS video interview with her posted directly on YouTube detailing everything. She was never Cube's girlfriend. I don't even think she knew Cube in 1986. It was Lonzo Williams that introduced Michele to Dr. Dre when she sang the hook for "Turn Off the Lights" because the original chick that was supposed to do it backed out. The only reason why got with Dre was because him and Eazy both were trying to get them draws. The whole story about SHE being the reason for Dre leaving Death Row is untrue because Dre was already with and living with Nicole, his current wife. And you didn't need the movie to know that, read the 1996 SOURCE interview that was posted on here last month. They were already living together and by Michele's account, Dre was still trying to get back with her despite him and Nicole living together. I know what Daz claimed, but half the time Daz be saying a lot of B. But I WILL agree that Michele whored herself too, whether it because of some kind of get back for all the whoring Dre done or what, but Suge DID try to use Michele to drive a wedge between him and Dre, but it wasn't the reason why Dr. Dre left.
The main reason Dr. Dre left was because of the sudden dramatic atmospheric change in Death Row, which was OVERLY OVERLY OVERLY exaggerated in the movie (we all know that Dre would NEVER confront Suge or his goon squad like that, not then nor now!) but true as to why he left (again read the 1996 SOURCE interview). You can say, part of that was due to Tupac taking over, or you can say Dr.'s work ethic was lazy and he really only wanted to work with people that was with him at the start of Death Row and not all of those "new nikkaz" that came afterwards. Nobody really knows if Dre actually talked to Suge directly about leaving face to face, but it is true that Suge worked up an agreement with Jimmy Iovine in whether Jimmy wanted Dre to start a sub-label (AFTERMATH) in which he'll cosign to and Suge agreeing to that as long as Dre relieve all the rights, masters, and co-ownership of Death Row. This talk about Dre screwing over Death Row is false. Suge ended up owning everything thinking he didn't need Dre when all the remaining talent he had left. It was an agreement between Suge and Jimmy as to why Aftermath even exists.
