White Label Radio sat down with controversial former manager of NWA & Ruthless Records. Part 2 of 3

[@SiccDeville]

i like Jerry because he answers all questions, no matter what is asked of him. i wish more people were like him.

[@auntjenifer7774]

francis p #if you listen to the words what he is actually saying as far as the questions Jerry didn't answer any of the questions, he would just listen to the questions and then go on about a story or how was the energy around there time NWA started question Jerry doesn't answered that one. right way he starts talking about his best time with E or some shit. just listen to the interview again please.

[@epicgamer4709]

What does that mean

Any of his answers is an another excuse

[@thebrickz2793]

Hate him or love him, but this guy was a genius!!

[@brothacaim]

cool interview with this jerry heller...very smart and well spoken guy

[@anthonythegreat72]

The question is would N.W.A. have gotten as far as they've gotten without this guy.

[@rottie615]

Hell yeah! He wasn't the only Jewish dude with money. LA has too many record labels.

[@tgms177]

no way
he was a the only white guy with connection you believed in them

[@MonaLisa-bw8dw]

If it hadn't been for Jerry they wouldn't be where they are at he got them started but then money can be evil

[@goj2038]

Reverse the question

[@yungbuddha2844]

NWA would of made it regardless. Remember, Heller went to Eazy after boyz n da hood hit, not the other way around.

[@israeliboytoy]

he is a real OG that gets props for his love 4 the streetz hate or love it he is the man

[@CHISENGA]

I'm a big Dr. Dre fan but this is a bit of an eye opener. It's good to hear stories from both sides.

[@T3MPL3TillIdIe]

Yup!

[@DefSquadFan]

T3MPL3TillIdIe Jerry's version of meeting Eazy is way different than the version in the movie.

[@T3MPL3TillIdIe]

jerry is no saint but his not this ugly bad business man ppl make out to be, think about it. Great Eazy E street hustler. Jerry a business man and a visionary. They put together ruthless record a company employing minority. A i mean this guys has or had a good heart😁

[@Randelius]

+Sea Pea And corroborated by multiple parties- including MC Ren who was there when Eazy met Jerry. I don't know why they had him jump out from behind some boxes like a leprechaun. It makes no sense. In fact, the movie is very vague blurry on the beginnings of NWA, who was involved, etc., makes no mention of the formation of Ruthless that preceded bailing Dre out and luring him away from Lonzo. Jerry's book is very detailed in those respects and should have been consulted for the movie-- it would have been worth an extra 2 minutes of tedium to get a straight explanation of that stuff.

[@rightcoast7049]

Right? I'm sure it's real easy to hate on the old white guy. In reality, he helped take Ruthless to the next level. He saw the potential in Eazy E and everyone else.

[@renues]

Great interview. Great questions.

[@jonathanlippe]

this interview is interesting. i've enjoyed it.
I know its all leading up to the Straight Outta Compton movie .... and i'm ok with it. I gotta hand it to Jerry Heller to still show up after all that has been said about him. Creepy guy, but the story of Ruthless Records is so fascinating.

[@alanross9573]

respect to this legend

[@geecheeflow9828]

please take down that Bob Marley avatar ..if u think this guy is a legend u know nothing about what Bob preached..

[@raeganurry7827]

Jerry is so well spoken

[@franchotbell944]

I heard a lot of stuff about this MAN, but for me I think he's REAL... MONEY IS A "MOTHA" , and he know his BUSINESS and his MUSIC...

[@Voicewav]

Excellent interview.

[@Shisto5]

right! I can't believe he said "er" instead of "a" ... wtf.. he hasn't learned by now!?

[@rightcoast7049]

Come on... Dude doesn't mean anything by it. He's worked with so many black artists that you can't pull the racism card.

[@wesleyhilde1]

There is definitely 3side to every story.. I got a whole new appreciation of Jerry after dis!

[@OnlyNattysatUSC44]

i don't get the hate for jerry keller... seems to me he's just a schrewd business man but was smart enough to know there was someting special in NWA.. Everyone criticizing him is bashing him based on hindsight. Guy's mind is far beyone than all of these youtube posters..

[@Donkehy-puncharello]

Sounds like something a racist bitch would say.

[@SiccDeville]

i remember JJ Fad only because i live in Seattle and they said SuperSonic.I would sing this song all the time.

[@T-Way21]

it just trip me out to hear him talk about all that..

[@victormilbourne9929]

Great interview

[@ladyruler9585]

J.J Fad needs to have their story told! A movie? No. But I would love to hear their side of the story as to why they faded into the background.

[@WhiteLabelRadioShow]

I agree. They definitely don't get their props.

[@richardrich2419]

he comes over very well, and im not sure what his motivation would be for lying. I think the interviewer is very fair too as most of us would normally default loyalty to Cube. Interseting stuff

[@travishollis1661]

Jerry Heller is the Don King of music. All he give a fuck about is money.

[@gecko7005]

Travis Hollis dude he delt with the financial side of course he cared about money

[@duquettebeats6312]

just remember that cube stole a song from cypress hill which proved his motives

[@sashasarronen6300]

Cube

[@zonxo]

+Duquette Beats Yea, and also from GrandMaster Flash, for his aftermath songs.

[@only1EdwardHill]

Yeah shit happens

[@erwinorellano34]

Cube went to white schools...he was a poet, not a gangsta.

[@jacobbutler6049]

He stole the song wicked to from King sun out of ny

[@594kk]

I like Jerry Heller, he needs to get rid of the ER though, but I think he's not even aware, I guess its like showing an old dog new tricks, But I like to hear his stories, he sounds sincere, besides, he's been working with black artists for decades, and his stories add up. Ice Cube and Dre's stories are always full of holes and anomalies.

[@markcarey67]

My read is that Jerry was old school record industry where the artists were always exploited so he didn't see what he was doing was unfair to the kids he was managing but he did have the genius to see that a bunch of kids from Compton could be a worldwide phenomenon and teenage white kids from Australia (like myself) would listen to that music.

[@portraitofsorrow7803]

He is right on many points, white kids in the South, especially like myself that started playing musical instruments at 6 years old, we heard this and we didnt think
"These guys are a buncha racists criminals"! No, totally opposite, alot of us loved
Run DMC, Kool Moe Dee, etc.. we hear NWA and we heard their sincerity, their frustration, their anger over things that they had every right to be mad about! These guys literally inspired North Louisiana Church raised country boys playing rock like me, to research the truth, find out what had always been swept under the rug in our world! For instance, Selma Alabama, it made me furious! So furious i wrote 2 papers on Dr. King in College, then learned about the horrific atrocities in Watts and the actual things that happened! Learning this things after being led to believe these situations were just a situation where blacks were law breaking heathens was very eye opening to much more! If anyone is an honest person, truly raised on the Gospel the literal teachings if Christ, it was maddening and made me change my whole outlook on my leaders, and i have questioned and been very suspicious of anything thats told on main stream! I also did paper on Jackie Robinson, i played college baseball so his passion and next level talented was so inspiring to me to study his life! When a man walks that road, with a wife praying on het knees while he was gone, encouraging and reassuring him he was the best when he was home, this man is a true super man to me! A hero, a cut above the rest to do what he did in that era, face the advertises, the hatred, the threats, the insults everyday, i cant tell you how much i loved Jackie Robinson since i was in little league! When a man has 6 filing cabinets full of heinous death threats and still has the Grit to go out and do his job anyway, i get emotional thinking about it, so did his coach cause he loved Jackie also! He knew Jackie was gonna immediately push the level of play and competition in baseball to a level never seen, he even warned all the white players! He said "you boys better soak it up, learn all you can and step up your game, cause this guy just set the bar at a level none of you have ever played at, and if you think Jackie is the only Black Man thats gonna play ball, hah! You guys better wake up, cause they coming and ready to shine like gold, just like Jackie Robinson"!! In Pee-wee Reese's hometown he actually received letters telling to not play on the same field as that black man. He went to the club owner and told him he was gonna sit out, he asked if he was sick and he said no, He receive some threats. The team owner said "take a look in those filing cabinets Pee-wee, all those cabinets are filled with trash like that, and you're going to sit out a game because somebody threatened you"?? He said "then you can just go on and go somewhere else cause I'm ashamed of you"!! Peewee played the game, and before the first pitch, he walked over to first base, call timeout, put his arm around Jackie, looked at the crowd and said "smile"!!
Jackie said "what are you doing man"? Pee Wee said "I'm just standing here with my friend best baseball player I know"! I love heart like that, many many black men showed unseen heart throughout history, after the Civil War all they wanted was a chance to prove what many already knew, that they could learn and do any and everything any white man could do, but many also wanted to stop, evil, pure evil from our enemy who hates us all!! That drive and determination was forced out of many, replaced anger and driven to a point that fighting back as one was no longer avoidable! Any human that can blow up churches with precious little children inside, they are inhabited demonic swine that secured a spot in a lake of fire for that sick action! It was made for devils just like them!

[@paulmcduff1930]

Damn bro you should write a book 😂

[@YouTuber-wi7oc]

Great interview!

[@paul8079]

I doubt Heller could have had the wool pulled over Eazy's eyes. He was way too street smart and smart in general for that. Maybe Heller isn't the boogie man. Don't discount what he says because he's an old white guy.

[@MrWARBUCKS24]

right now Cube got everybody fooled but I think in probably another 20yrs the truth would come out

[@alishabazz7431]

Ogre Yet Eazy FIRED him for stealing money.

[@rentalife]

Jerry is likeable to answer that in a understandable way. He's rich - he could give a shit. I think he liked Eazy and Dre. Without him NWA wouldn't been in my tape deck! "Look in the dictionary under cool - you see Eazy and Dre!" Made my day!

RIP Jerry

what happened to Arabian Prince? "I don't know, he just one day didn't show up"...lmao!! nice...

[@jacobbutler6049]

Some of his awners are different then what Arabian prince said Arab said him eazy Dre Jerry had a meeting at Jerry's house and he told them he was leaving the group because he wasn't getting paid what he should for the supersonic record Jerry cut him a check an he was out of the group

[@quiksilverblur]

This is good stuff!

[@juliusdream2683]

The way he says it the N word😂 is a bit um 😐 kinda cringe when he says it.

[@DefSquadFan]

That Capitol records story is in the movie.

[@caciqueboriqua]

Incredible interview..thanks

[@lamareaton]

We know Jerry Heller has an agenda, but man this DJ is just throwing under hand, anyone that knows hip hop knows Cube was the best rapper, writer in NWA and he proved that with AmeriKKKa's most. People try to diss Cube by saying he didn't get pussy, didn't claim a set, was a busta...all that might be true but truth is back in 1990 when AmeriKKKa's most came out he was the shit. And No Vasoline has go be one of greatest diss songs of all time.

[@robbertiffany]

It's like a jungle sometimes it makes me wonder how I keep from going under....

[@DrLuke49]

HA HA! HA . . . . .

[@1yaseph]

jerry heller is a very intelligent man. he applies the laws of success in his conversation and body language very well. some of you may understand but its very clear to me

[@markdafunky1]

does anyone know what instrumental is playing in the background during this interview?

[@lawabidingcitizen218]

no Jerry didn't steal . . .he ROBBED them. Huge difference. Stealing is while the person isn't looking nor aware. ROBBING is while the person is looking or suspected of being taken advantage of. So Jerry is telling his truth in a since, he didn't steal. They signed, he got his percentages and the crew didn't know what to look for.
Rob-overcharge (someone) for something.
Steal-take (another person's property) without permission or legal right and without intending to return it.
(Jerry legally took his percentage)
Eyes wide shut!

[@rightcoast7049]

Oh yeah? You've seen the contracts? I'm not saying dude is a saint, but what happened was everyone got in the ears of the artists and made it seem like "the old white dude is robbing y'all". He helped take Ruthless to the next level.

What is the name of the song playing during the first 4 minutes of this interview?

thus dude is telling the truth str8 up cube and dre made them selves look crazy since easy e is dead, and easy e was never broke had bones and harmony and he was getting paid off what dre was doing come on and he was rapping himself , dre day is easy e pay day , still great movie

[@The-Man-Right-Chea]

His excuses for not putting out more J.J. Fad songs were weak. They sold 10 million records and were red hot and you skip over them for unknown artists? It makes absolutely zero sense

[@marwanitoh]

it's pretty strange how we see people as evil or good by one prospective, and we don't make our own. I don't know what the truth is because i wasn't there and i don't know if these people(Dre, Jerry, Obama or whatever) are telling the truth because we are not inside their mind and this doesn't give us the right to think of someone as a vallain or hero: we make choises, they can be good or bad, that's all.

[@marcusbrothers5221]

with supersonic you couldn't appreciate the bass sound on a.m. radio. the first time I heard it with proper bass it was ten times better than on am radio in baltimore

What happened to Yomo and Maulkie?

[@JEANBRUCE1991]

thx for asking about Arabian Prince 👍

[@kimberlymorgan611]

Thank you

[@veli1100]

this dude really deceived the group with money but he was really genuine with eazy

[@tasha3185]

Yeah his agreement was with Eazy and he probably saw the group as Eazy's problem

[@nothingsixsixsix]

It's not always about talent but who you know. I remember when Eazy was trying to sign Quik but couldn't because the label Quik was under at the time wouldn't release him. Now just imagine if Eazy would have gotten Quik ? If Eazy signed Quik, Quik would be just as big as Dre is today.

[@DefSquadFan]

Targeted Individual Quik would have left Ruthless after one album because the money wouldn't have been right. Quik is not good with money as it is. He's broke and has many gold records.

[@nothingsixsixsix]

Sea Pea You sure that nigga broke ? The niggas house looks pretty expensive to me and he just got done building a professional studio in it if I'm not mistaken.

[@pewdiepiegotchalifegaming2375]

+Sea Pea how u no he broke wat u saw his bank account or something

[@kiwanejohnson8591]

Man, I don't hate Jerry Heller, because I don't know the guy; however I think he was lying about not stealing. He claims that there was no reason to steal, because he had so much money, but how does he think the rich stay rich. Not saying that they steal, but they continuously find different ways to get more money, so I don't buy that. Personally, I don't think that Cube was jealous, because it doesn't matter that he was 17, groupies were attracted to NWA, so as long as they were sleeping with an NWA member it did not matter who it was or how old they were.

[@sinceday1592]

Y'all people gotta understand. Nwa was the shit back in the day. Now this movie came out bring certain things to light. Good stuff bad stuff lets just be happy about it.

[@jpryce90]

as a white guy I'd feel awkward sayin N word lol

the saddest & most disgustful thing abt police & their interactions w/ blk makes is tht it continues to happen & neither the president, congress or any part of gov't has place any laws or policies tht would specifically address the issue & treat murder as murder & not make excuses for someone's behavior bc no one really knows the mind of another or their most inner feelns & thghts
