Dee Barnes speaks. "me and the other women Dr. Dre beat up."

[prophecypro]

This. You don't see people bringing up Sean Penn holding Madonna hostage and beating her for 9 hours when they were married anytime he drops a new movie.

Actually yes

You should have a look around online and see what his rep is like in recent years and how people even came at Charlize Theron for dating him.

The people criticizing Dre are the same people that criticized Charlie Sheen and Sean Penn. I think you're assuming that there's some concentration of the media that are solely coming out for Dre for his history with these women that absolves the other two but not really. Its not even like all the media is coming for Dre and the ones that are, been coming at Sheen and Penn.

I believe the dude has changed and matured and maybe he could have mentioned it in the film, but I dont think he's being singled out any more or less than the white dudes you named. It just feels like that cause the movie is out and in the news.

NWA were like the hitler of rap music anyways.

They ruined rap with their "gangsta" genre. Before them rap was actually positive and uplifting, and people did speak about police brutality before they arrived. They just weren't angry black men and didn't call themselves n*ggas.

What idiot compared that thugified group to MLK?

They were never heros of the black community, they promoted killing black people in their own dxmn terrible music.

They perpetrated terrible stereotypes about black men, which is why they sold records, and why this movie did well.

They raped and beat up black women, how is that pro-black?

Tupac couldn't stand them or Dre.

Why do they have a movie before Public Enemy?

The black community needs to wake up, and stop glorifying thuggery, and bullish.

more i think bout it, im cool with her saying her piece. its just always timing that has a me a lil shyt, i even feel like dre should give her some money since he a billionaire.
i just know gawker, and all the cacs handwringing on twitter, i seen them and trust me, they give zero fks about dee barnes. this aint even about her for them. never even mentioned her untill this films started getting lots of positive buzz. and now that its a bonafide hit and classic, its full steam ahead. whats the end game? is the end game deebarnes saying hr piece? fine. but knowing how the mainstream media are absolutely obsessed with violent black men im a lil.

but salutes to dee barnes, i dont wanna minimise that shyt, dre did fked up shyt. deal with it. although i must ask, are black men forever defined by their mistakes? didnt black women go crazy for that kanye line “ you are more than ya mistakes”?

 

[Free White & 21]

The fukk is these ho's mad about now?
He already served his time and/or paid his fines for hitting those women, why does he need to CONTINUE to be demonized over it?
You scandalous ass, once a month bleeding, fonky cock ho's need to get back in the kitchen

 

[Whitty Hutton]

there are a lot of contrarian "issues" popping up around this movie, but dre being able to erase his past is pure bullshyt. dee has a right to speak up, she's spoken out about this before, but of course it's going to come up now that there is a film revisiting the era that this happened in. she'd look stupid writing this article in 2010 when no one is discussing the past, but with SOC, we are discussing that exact era and revisiting these men from back then. the way yall are dismissing the victim is ridiculous.

You're talking to dudes that frequent Just Bugging Out to look for vids where hoes spread booty holes after a handshake and stream Ghetto Gaggers porn while eating cereal. You can't expect these characters to have any respect for a female

 

[Virtuous_Brotha]

She gotta grudge against Cube but not Eazy even though Eazy said she deserved to get her ass beat

one is dead,other is a billionaire go figure.

 

[nieman]

Sometimes it's frustrating speaking on older hip-hop with the youth. If they weren't there tro witness it, they really should keep quiet until they do their homework - NOT From a movie. Dee Barnes has mentioned it every chance she gets. The problem is that she rarely gets the light shined on her to do so. In any documentary that mentions it, there becomes a "Who is Dee Barnes and what happened?" and she pops up to say her piece, then fades to black.

It should've been in the movie. And YES, this was a Dre/Cube movie, moreso than an NWA flick. It should've been at least alluded to, because it did happen and it was major news.

 

[Stone]

This may sound cold but unless we're gonna put dude in jail for it then......

Lol so now if you watch porn you have no respect for women. Y'all some clowns.

 

[606onit]

She deserved her beating.

 

[NV-ME]

do yall have mothers, daughters, wives, girlfriends, sisters, female cousins?

Stop being disingenuous man...

The faces of domestic violence and female abuse in this country are ALL Black males..

Ike Turner
OJ Simpson
Chris Brown
Ray Rice

To try to compare the amount of scrutiny that Sean Penn and these others receive with Black males is just patently dishonest...

At the end of the day when the history books are written. The face of rape will be Bill Cosby, the face of domestic violence will be Ray Rice, the face of pedophilia will be Michael Jackson, the face of infidelity will be Tiger Woods...All though men of all races have been guilty of these offenses for thousands of years. A historical profile is being established...It's the same machine that promotes the myth that more Blacks are on welfare or users or crack cocaine...

And naïve n1ggas stay carrying the water for the agenda...Yeah these niche feminist groups are the same ones that criticize Sheen and Penn...But the major difference is the main stream media lives by a code where they protect their A-List stars. They did the same thing in sports media with Bobby Cox from the Braves..

Just as an example.. Dre and Eminem both have a history of abusing and beating women right?.. Watch how both of them are covered going forward...

 

[MVike28]

do yall have mothers, daughters, wives, girlfriends, sisters, female cousins?

I keep asking the same question and I'll I'm getting back is cac conspiracy! fukk that bytch! She deserved it! Gawker on that bullshyt! fukk black feminists! B-but Tareeq Nasheed!




Disgusting beyond words. I pray none of you bums have daughters you will certainly fail as fathers.

 

[onelastdeath]

And just like that...A film that has the potential to discuss Black business, dirty dealing Jews in the music industry and police brutality comes right back to Amerikkkas favorite topic..

The violent barbaric male negro...

Good job Black Feminists, liberals and New Blacks.. Yall have been used as pawns again...

Maybe we can get Obama to denounce Cube, Dre or F Gary by the weeks end...

Let them cook. This is one of the reasons why I can never fully fukk with us. You'd never see white /Asian/ or anyone else doing this kinda shyt. Only in our community do successful people deserve to pay for their mistakes forever. And yall just eat it up.

 

[Dr. Narcisse]

Read that whole article She probably did get her ass beat, but she's also attention whoring. And that migraine bullshyt? She trying to set up another lawsuit? ​

The cynical side to me says..no she's not setting up another lawsuit. Otherwise, why not do so when Dre started up Beats?....

I think its more so about what she hinted at in the article.....she's writing a book. What better way to promote it then with this article on the #1 movie in America?

I dont know enough about Dee for me to know if she's always fought for women's rights. Her piece was strong with examples of the trials and tribulations of women in hip hop.

Upon rereading it there were a few cringe worthy things she wrote (not in a compelling way). The keep your heads ringing bit, the saying she didnt want her assault depicted, but wanted to see Dre's assault at the awards a year earlier, the not getting a role in Set it Off (when she had no previous acting experience and her connect was basically Gary Gray....who knows maybe he was just doing her solid?) etc.

That doesnt take away from what happened to her and it doesnt dismiss the fact that Dre's actions should have been shown. But there was a bit of promotion going on...

but then again....it did happen and she has a right to express her feelings on it



As I've said before. All Dre had to do is just show a scene of him drunk and losing it.....then later show how he changed once he grew up more at the end.

People knew about it. Just acknowledge it and the backlash probably doesnt happen.
