As much as I loved the scene with Ice Cube getting angry about his contract with Priority Records and taking a baseball bat and destroying the office.....it wasn't needed. They could have just taken out his interactions with the head of priority and had Ice cube go solo and be successful without showing us that. How was that more important than Dre Day/Real Muthafukkin G's Eazy & Ruthless vs Death Row Beef? That's legit mind boggling to me....
To me, Ice Cube's story could have damn near ended with him leaving NWA, dissing NWA & blowing up after going solo.....maybe have him connect with Dre at some point and how he's doing movies now (Friday....and he needed a Dre track for the soundtrack-Keep Their Heads Ringin") and then bring him back in for the club scene meeting with Eazy....They didn't make the best use of time considering how long this movie was. 2pac's scene wasn't needed either considering his run in 95/96 was after Eazy died (they also fukked the sessions up, had Pac recording Hail Mary in 1995 before recording California Love, that didn't happen like that....Hail Mary was recorded in 96) I know 2pac got out of jail in 95 but it was pointless.....
Dre meeting his wife Nicole wasn't a necessary scene either....like WTF? Why was that scene even there when Dre smacking Dee Barnes isn't......like it's really a total joke.
They showed Dre get pulled over n his Ferrari and caught on the highway but changed it around to make it look like he was just driving fast after a fight with Suge when in reality he was just racing his car, drunk one night.......he got home to his garage and couldn't find his remote....then the cops caught him. That lead to him violating his probation and having to do time in jail......which made him reevaluate his life and the situation at death row and decide that he wanted to go a more positive direction.
In general, I feel like this movie gave us Andre Young and not Dr. Dre.....for a period from say 1991 to 1995 I feel like Dre lost himself in his Dr. Dre character (beating up Dee Barnes, partying out of control (beating people up), he assaulted a police officer in a new orleans hotel, he assaulted a record producer in 1992 breaking his jaw (
The Violent Art, Violent Reality of Dr. Dre : Rap: The producing genius behind pioneer rap group N.W.A. is no stranger to the inside of a courtroom.)
"I don't ever go out looking for trouble, it just seems to follow me," says Andre Young, a young man who knows the inside of a courthouse.
He once hit a New Orleans policeman during a hotel lobby brawl there. On another occasion he roughed up a TV talk-show host, slamming her into a wall of a Hollywood nightclub. A former associate charges that Young once hired thugs to threaten him, and a local record producer claims Young busted his jaw.
Dre is due in court in Van Nuys this afternoon. He has pleaded not guilty to assaulting Woodland Hills rap record producer Damon Thomas, who claims Dre broke his jaw with a single punch last May.
"1992 was not my year," Dre quips.
* Next month in New Orleans, Dre could receive up to 18 months in jail stemming from an October case in which he pleaded guilty to battery of a police officer and was convicted on two additional battery counts stemming from a brawl in the lobby of the New Orleans hotel last May.
He was convicted in both cases, received a fine, probation and a 60 day house arrest....
Dr. Dre also ended up getting shot in the leg....
They made it seem like Dr. Dre didn't initially revel in this lifestyle before finally realizing the error of his ways when shyt got too hot...........They made dude look like a saint.
cube never sounded like he was from the burbs
