Serious Question about RAP music and Compton Movie

[Tony]

Straight out of Compton comes out August 2015 and I am quite interested in seeing it. Having spending quite a bit of time in LA this gangster life has always appealed to me as an outsider.

So I pulled up some videos on the movie and it looks like there were quite a few beefs after NWA (star group in video) came to fame. Especially EZ-E (Easy E) and Dr. Dre. So one video led to another, and I get this from Easy E, which is quite the video going after Dr Dre:




And then right after Dre posts this bombshell.




So now there is a huge BEEF. Problem is Easy E succumbed to AIDS in 1995 before this played out.

What happened here, and I am not talking about generic Wikipedia shit? Obviously Dre won, he is a billionaire and Easy E is decomposing.

Maybe it was over Janet Jackson?





But seriously keep on googling about it sir until you find out.

best of my recollection: Easy and Heller screwed Dre and others out of a lot of money

you cant throw a rock without hitting a documentary outlining the easye/deathrow/suge/dre beef.

1. I had no idea how short E was. He looks like he's maybe 5'4

2. God that guy was a terrible interviewer. No wonder his show didnt last. Its hard to keep my attention.

Easy E died of AIDS. SnooperAIDS.

Easy's song came out after. Like a year after at least.

Mother fuck Dre. Mother fuck snoop. Mother fuck death row was a response.

Snoop would be as famous as biggie and Tupac if he died back then. It's just sad to watch him now.

Also who really knows what's real? White people could have been convincing them that beef sells... People forget or don't know that easy had way deeper pockets than Dre back then. Easy had Dre under contract and Dre wanted out. Easy refused. Dre sent Suge knight to threaten easy. Then Dre was released.

That's the story anyway.

From what I remember: Easy E owned and controlled NWA. All the money was going through him, so he was taking the lions share of their income as he had the other member under contract. Dre wasn't too happy about it and confronted him, but Easy told him to fuck off basically. Dre then got Suge Knight(his body guard at the time) to strong-arm Easy into letting him out of his contract so that he could split and set up Death Row Records with Suge.

Apparently Dre is bi-sexual, and it was well known in the industry, so certain rapper would taunt him for being a faggot. It was probably Easy that spilled the beans on this one which escalated the beef.

I seem to recall it being 25% beef over money and 75% an act because white people ate up the "I hate Easy/Ice Cube/Dre" songs.

You seem to recall what? You were at the meetings?

pretty cool article, a long one, on Dr Dre and how he was possibly the least likely rap billionaire you could imagine.
