MORE interviews with Lil Eazy E... And Baby E too! He sounds SO much like their father..
R.I.P. Eazy E
why he didn't play his father in the movie
Good question Tariq! The "official" story is that the producers felt that Lil E didnt have enough (shall we say) skills as an actor to portray Eazy, so they went and got Jason to play Eazy instead. What I still dont get to this day, is why Cube´s son was good enough but not Lil E.
Bawlin2010 because he looks exactly like cube , thy ddnt even let Dre son be in it
Yeah I guess you´re right Chief :)
@@chieflsah2474 he favors cube but he look alot like his momma and dre barely fuck with his son
what a cool cat big up Lil Eazy-E
Rip eazy-E
R.I.H Eric..
If Eazy was here, he'd be like, 'Vlad, I don't want to discuss Slim Jesus. I don't even know him.'
yall just against eazy es son and speak bad about him but just think what eazy would want
I remember when i used to hang out at underworld records in Compton....lil e was a kid and he used to play video games in the back of the record shop. I remember him on the sega genesis every time i seen him. I think he was about 11 or 12 back then.
Easy E! N.W.A! legends..love that early 90s rap...Ice cube guerillas in the mist ect....MC Renn...the best never gets old! R.I.P Easy!!
lil e real Compton city g , man I miss the Compton fashion center 😪
steve a real dude respect for being real to the game
It's tough to watch Lil Eazy sit there and have to accept this desecration of his fathers image.
selfie kroos How so!? What are you talking about. Lobel has nothing but respect for Eazy E. Unless you mean the movie? In that case, I totally agree.
That's exactly what I meant.
Living legend Lil Eazy e🐐
I would love to meet Lil Eazy E he is handsome just like his father
👍Good interview!
Lil eazy is really a cool dude just like his pops
Lil E woulda been huge had he had the Dr Dre/Ice Cube co-sign early on in his career. That’s the least they could’ve done to look out for Sr. Look out for Jr.

i wonder what memphis group he was talking about? Bone had beef with Three Six Mafia back in those days but i doubt it was them who knows.
I'm almost 50 years old now. The first job I got was working for this old white snobby millionaire. I remember him always saying he was born in Inglewood and raised in Compton. I always thought he was only saying that clowning .
It wasn't til decades later I found out it was true
Lil eazy you look just like your dad.
I wonder if those Memphis cats had something to do with that cat Pistol who was with Ruthless back in '94......
I NEED THAT COMPTON HAT HE IS WEARING... AND THATS ON EASTSIDE cOMPTON,cALIFORNIA....

I think this Prince 👑 of The Godfather - lil EAZY-E need to go open his own business!!!! If you read this or one of EAZY loved ones read this- this Eric Wright has intelligence to open a record label and boom 💥 in business!!!
Very articulate, intelligent kid, by why he going to jail??
Articulate? You must hang with idiots to think that. Articulate doesn't where Compton hats.

Cant be a sequel to straight outta Compton. By the very title its about NWA. Its like making a basketball movie called Lakers Showtime and had Magic and Jabbar and Worthy, etc... Then make a sequel to that with Shaq , Kobe , etc..... Just make it its own movie! Makes no sense calling Shaq and Kobe showtime.
Out of respect and love DR. GAY should've blesssed LiL. Eazy with a shit load of beats a looooooooooooong time ago. Dr. Gay and P. Diddy are cut from the same cloth.

ROOTS ? FROM AFRICA ? BUT YOU ARE BLACK AMERICAN ,A HUMAN BEING ,SAME AS US ALL . PEACE AND GOD BLESS .
+Anthony Barrett Your an idiot who shouldn't even be commenting. If you have nothing productive, sensible, or intelligent to say then you should simply be quiet.
Shani dayo ?
Shani, he's right though.
There is no such thing as Black of White. Race is a social construct.

Weird joke and not a fact or truth
Jerry Heller stole money from your dad. Your dad fired Jerry Heller!
Ali Shabazz he stole from the rest eazy not so much
Myth #1: Eazy E and Jerry Heller Stole Money from Artists
Contrary to popular belief, Jerry Heller held an established reputation as a music manager, boasting a résumé of industry heavyweights including Marvin Gaye, Ike & Tina Turner, Otis Redding, Black Sabbeth and Van Morrison during the 60s and 70s. Dr. Dre was the first future N.W.A member that Heller came to know, as he managed him during his stint in “The World Class Wreckin’ Crew.”
The hands of fate intervened, blending every ingredient to yield a cultural revolution on March 3rd 1987, the day Heller met Eazy E and Ruthless Records was born during their meeting at Macola Records in which the hit song “Boyz N the Hood” reached the seasoned manager’s ears for the first time, reinvigorating his passion for the music business. Apparently fate has a sense of humor as well. Who would have thought that a newly divorced, crass aging man from Clevland and a short, stalky Compton native with a mean left hook and sharp business acumen could get along so well?
The future Ruthless Empire had a diamond in the ruff on its hands, but still required financial backing. Some sources say Eazy contributed $7,000 of his money, made from drug dealing and Heller footed $250,000 of the cost, making up the defecit.
Originally, Eazy wanted to co-own Ruthless with Jerry 50/50, however, Heller insisted that Eazy be the sole owner, taking 80% while Heller profited from a 20% stake in the company’s earnings.
Jerry and Eazy became close, forming a paternal bond were they challenged and taught each other, professionally and personally. They also spent time together on vacations, shared family events, milestones and recreational activities. Jerry was the mentor Eazy needed while Eazy was the son Jerry always wanted. However, their relationship later began to rub people the wrong way.
“Ruthless was Eazy-E’s company. So not only did we live next to each other and have keys to each other’s houses, we always discussed every major decision.” ~Jerry Heller
Ice Cube and Dr. Dre exited N.W.A following suspicions of financial impropriety.
Ice Cube proclaimed that he wasn’t paid royalties or for going on tour, portaying himself as the groups main writer and mastermind behind Eazy- Duz-It. Cube also alleged that a $75,000 check was being withheld from him by Jerry Heller, who demanded that he sign his contract first.
“Eazy took advantage of me not knowing the record business back in the day,” Dre chimed in, also expressing distain for Heller, painting him as a serpent who maneuvered his way into a position of power and isolated Eazy from his friends.
Heller and Eazy recounted a more nuanced version of events.
Heller noted that Cube’s writing responsibilities and credits were shared with MC Ren, D.O.C, and at the groups’ earliest stage, Arabian Prince, while Dre and DJ Yella co-produced as a team, thus, the royalties had to be divided multiple ways.
“The deal was structured so that Ruthless got a little off the top, and the band split the rest equally. So they split $375,000 five ways, which is $75,000 apiece. That was an astronomical amount of money, and everybody signed their contracts except for Ice Cube. He had a good lawyer, Lee Young, Jr., who used to be the head of business affairs at Motown and a guy that I have done business with over the years and his parents were well educated. Ruthless also had lawyers that looked over everything”
Cube received $32,700 in royalties in addition to the $75,000 he wanted, totaling an initial $107,700 in cash. In the years since, all group members have accrued millions in royalties from album sales, preformances and re-releases.
Heller explained that delays between album sales and artist payouts are common.
David Kronemyer, a longtime record company executive who worked with Ruthless, seconded this assertion. “It takes a long time and most artists never recoup. Ice Cube did, in fact, recoup in this situation, it just took a long time.”
To insure that his finances were secure, Ice Cube also enlisted various law firms to inspect the books at Ruthless Records, yet nothing suspect ever appeared in their findings.
Conversley, Dre signed his contract (apparently without reading it by his own admission) and later became a disgruntled employee, lamenting the fact that he was supposedly only making 0.02 to 0.10 cents per unit sold.
Eazy took the opportunity to set the record straight concerning his business dealings and thirteen year friendship with Dre, who’s departure and subsequent Judas Kiss hit closer to home.
“I was too nice to everybody, I overpaid everybody. I gave people money that they weren’t even owed. I made them happy. I might say okay Dre, here goes $75,000.” He’d say “For what?” and I’d say “Just for being here, cause you're down and you're my buddy.”
“I moved him from Compton and bought a house in Westlake Village. When I moved Dre moved. Dre got a house around the corner from me. I got him a house and we worked everything out”
“ If Jerry was ***** me out of money do you think he’d still be here?” Eazy said bluntly in an interview by Sheena Lester.
“Why aren’t they suing Jerry if he did all this ****?”
“I treated everybody one-hundred-precent fair and square. I’ll put their ***** contracts in your magazine.”
“When we had a meeting and somebody (Ice Cube) sat down and said, I never got this, I never got that. They said all this in front of lawyers. You know what I did? I pulled out all the ***** returned checks that this person signed and said here’s where all that ** came from. They said, Oh, I didn’t know I was getting all that. There’s that $75,000 I told you about in the beginning, why aren’t they suing me?” (Taken from an unknown magazine article on the Tumgir fansite)
His final recorded conversation with publicist Phyllis Pollack sheds more light on the situation.
“There may be those that hate you, but when you hate them you destroy yourself.” Says Eazy, when questioned about envy being the reason for the backlash against him.
“What sort of misconceptions are out there as far as how you treat your artists?” Pollack inquired.
“I treat my artists real good, I give them fair deals. I start them off at 12 points, with escelation at every 500,000. In the publishing a 50-50 split. Most people take 100% of the artists’ publishing. I know a lot of people who have sold 4 million records and ain’t even seen a million dollars. That ain’t no record deal. Now, I’m not trying to give out any big advances because that’s recoupable, that’s your own money. If you take a big advance you’ll have to pay that back if you don’t sell enough units.”
Heller revealed that Dre made roughly $82,000 in 1992, though it is unknown how much money he obtained over his four year employment. It is likely that he was compensated well, being that his Calabasas mansion was fashioned with granite counter tops, state of the art technology and custom furniture hand-picked by the producer’s then girlfriend Michel’le. He was also known to throw lavish all-night parties and spend recklessly, particularly on luxury cars like Ferrari’s and BMWs, one of which was an exact model of Eazy E’s.
Heller, in his memoir Ruthless, recalled that he tried to sweeten the deal for Dre by attempting to create a sublabel for him through Warner that, he said, would have paid Dre a $2 million advance. The deal ultimately never came to fruition as Dre infamously became estranged from Eazy by soliciting Suge Knight’s strong arming tactics to break free from his contract, transforming the Starsky and Hutch duo into Cain and Abel. These nefarious activities ultimately backfired, as he was found to be in breach of contract. Eazy gained the last laugh by making 20% of everything Dre touched as an artist and producer for six years.

But you were here. Dumbasses, I swear.
N.W.A. lost their credibility when Ice Cube left. The movie should have ended with Cube's departure. N.W.A.'s talent did.
+ChiefComedyPeaches I think N.W.A got better after Ice cube left, a groups talent isn't based on one element, everyone is replaceable.
+Shani dayo Efil4zaggin was their next album. You're going to sit there and tell me that Efil4zaggin is a better album than Straight Outta Compton?
+ChiefComedyPeaches Everyone has their own opinions as to which album they like better. I personally like Straight Outta Compton more than Efil4zaggin but the Efil4zaggin had far better production than SOC and is overall more entertaining to me.
Shani dayo not a chance
100 miles and running was they next album
Yo he looks like he could be more flesh n bone son
Compton is wack. Get a life, bro
But you were in line with your ticket though when the movie premiered. Lmao. Then you were so fascinated with the fabricated bullshit, you had to get on UA-cam, and tire yourself out, and even took the time to comment. Stfu. Goofy ass lame. Hope your ass take a trip to Compton, and try making the same statement you typed.
i love cali thats krazy how eazy e got a son and thats you
