How did yall feel about how they handled the Jerry Heller situation. Specifically with the money side of things and Eazy severing ties with him. I don't remember exactly how it played out for real but I felt it was all way too vague and underdeveloped.
Great movie otherwise.
It was vague,kindve because it had to be I think....In Cubes situation,Cube in real life never took the contracts to anybody to see if they were really fukked up,they demanded he sign them right then and there and he refused....I would guess the fukked up thing is they tried to give them the fukked up contracts most new artist were getting....the only thing was NWA had already proven itself and had success,so at that point you should've had to pay them like stars and not some new unproven artist who hadn't done anything....but who knows maybe 70K is what stars got paid back then
Far as the Eazy E split maybe it was vague to avoid lawsuit?But it may have just been that Jerry was doing typical industry shyt that had been going on for years,and folks new to the business didn't know all the little tricks....Tricks where its not stealing only based on a technicality,but you are taking advantage
I figure it was more of that going on then Jerry outright stealing money from Eazy's accounts,and Eazy or Tamika in the movie smartened up.
I actually thought I was going to enjoy them making Jerry look like a piece of shyt,but I actually liked that they were subtle with that....even Cube admitted he stood up for the group many times against the authorities and establishment.....The movie had Eazy on the verge of being a uncle tom for Jerry
,but as the movie goes on you realize Eazy E is loyal to Heller because Heller did actually look out for HIM and made sure he was taken care of....so he did somewhat look at Heller as a friend/mentor possibly.
Giamatti dude killed his role too,that Eazy and Heller relationship was lowkey doper than I wanted it to be
Easy confronted him with the financial records which Tomica showed him.Dumb ass when they were in the club and he was freestyle over the "Weak at Knees" beat before Cube met Easy.When the club owner said "He didn't want any hardcore music,only r&b joints"
I ain't gonna lie prior to the movie I wasn't that familiar with the catalog but since movie I heard some songs and this group was a problem back in the day.
