So....because he's not in the movie....he's not important....because Hollywood's foremost concern is historical accuracy. Got it.

It's simple.

This movie is aimed at the casual fan, not the diehards. Hollywood trying to make money. A casual fan is gonna instantly think of Dre or Ice Cube, so they are going to be the main focus of the movie. That's who Hollywood feels people are paying money see, so that's who they showcase in the trailer. It's not a knock against MC Ren, it's just how the world works.

Ren was always my favorite in the crew. Granted, Cube's solo work has him in my top 5. But as far as NWA the group is concerned, Ren was always my favorite. I've often wondered how his solo would have turned out if Dre and Cube didn't bounce. Matter fact, had DJ Train not passed, how would Ren's solo projects differed from how they turned out?

On another note, was reading a post from DJ Mike T of CMW fame on another forum, and he stated that Da Chill and Ren were and still are close friends. That had me thinking how I would like to see a flick or a book focusing on CMW's story, but at the same time tell Quik's story. While NWA gets more mentions, truth be told myself personally I've listened to CMW and Eiht's work more than NWA and it's alumni with the exception of Cube's early solo work. Their story along with Quik's is more intriguing to me from a street perspective. As an old school Eiht stan, I didn't begin to appreciate Quik's work until years after their beef died. In hindsight I hate that they beefed, and that beef played a role into some Death Row sh!t behind the scenes. A book or a flick about those years would be interesting to me Sh!t would be like a Compton version of Purple Rain. Red(TTP) and Blue(Tragniew) make purple.

:rudy:

M.C. Ren at least deserved a very small or brief part which would've in no way taken the focal point or spotlight from the main characters being depicted in the NWA movie.

I'd like to hear his thoughts on the movie. I'm guessing he hasnt seen it yet, because if the movie delivered in a way he liked the trailer wouldn't have pissed him off.
regardless he is part of the story :ufdup: what they did in the trailer was disrespectful Cube and Dre got enough clout to make sure every group member got some love in the trailer, can you imagine Ren telling his kids Hollywood is doing a biopic on his group, they all watch the trailer and look at him like you were in the group :childplease:?
