a lot of the happenings in the movie, like the record smashing by Cube, the Detroit riot by the police after they told the group don't play the Fuck the Police, the interview afterwards when Cube threw that shot at Eazy, and all the turmoil with the contracts and why Cube left, was all spread by word of mouth back then. No internet to instantly report it. And to see it played out on the big screen 25 years later is epic. I remember my boy telling me that Ice Cube used to write Eazy's rhymes. Then he put me on to the NWA and the Posse album, where you get a taste of a young DOC and other members of the group the movie don't even mention.
yella was straight comedy throughout the movie. he was only about the females
and seeing him laugh at No Vaseline was classic. he knew that was the end of the group because the chicks were digging the disses as well. When Ren jumped up and demanded they get a reply ready, Yella was like, "NO". Just seeing their reactions each bar was funny as hell, they were hurt by each line that came out those speakers. NWA was dead at that point.
too bad Cube and Dre weren't into showing themselves in a negative light, it would have been funny to see when MobStyle chased NWA off the Apollo stage in NY.
What?? Did you not see Cube get his azzz whooped coming off that escalator? Or Dre gettin helmed up and arrested by the police?
As for Eazy getting. jumped, from my understanding I heard there was a confrontation b/t he and Suge. But I thought it was Suge who showed up at Eazy's office wit them goon niggas, and bats?
those examples don't put them in a negative light. Cube and Lynch Mob actually fought back against those Ruthless goons. Yeah, Cube got snatched off the escalator, but he and his crew were scrapping.
Everyone got held up by the cops, so that's just like.....normal.
An example would be what I mentioned after what you bolded, when MobStyle rushed the Apollo stage while NWA were performing. Or the battle between MobStyle and NWA on wax.
Eazy's verse from Real Niggaz was a diss to MobStyle, with the Good, the Bad, the Ugly see, a real street wise nigga, you know me. That was a call out to MobStyle's album The Good, The Bad, The Ugly.
The group wasn't teflon, which the movie only showed the real problem was issues amongst themselves.
