man all these years later Yella still feeling the pain of his loss of his buddy Eric. Def in his voice and facial expressions
Yella was the only one in the group that was loyal to E the only one who turned up to his funeral

“Often imitated, but never duplicated” this man is still such an amazing poet
lol, he is , that has been used like a million times. NWA
Lmao. That's a common phrase.
q
@@josephbenson4444 yeah Ice Cube has duplicated that phrase. lol with all due respect
You can't be that dumb, can you?
Cube still throwing shade at Jerry - raw and real and also 100% accurate. Never change Cube, man do we love you.
wut did jerry heller do
he was pretty much the reason nwa split up, he embezzled millions from ruthless, gave them a bad contract and told eazy e to not kill suge knight@@raptorsprod6957
@@raptorsprod6957he is the one who fucked up the whole system
this man is fucking clout chaser
@@raptorsprod6957he was a corrupt manager I think.
i saw cube live in concert in amsterdam yesterday december 3rd 2023 and he dissed Jerry on stage lmao , cube stay savage
Shocking how Eazy’s mom is still alive just goes to show you how young he died, Rest in Peace E😢😢
At the age of 30, to be precise.
@@pepsi-mcribHis mom probably around 80 years old and she dont even look it cause Eazy would've been around 60 years old now
@@BlackWomenAreTheSmartest51
@BlackWomenAreTheSmartest depending on which month in 2016. He would have been 51 or 52 During this time
He was 31 when he passed
Yella is THE MOST genuine person in the industry and world!
Fr!!
I know
Without Eazy-E there is no N.W.A.
R.I.P. Eazy-E you are forever missed
Exactly what I’ve been saying. They up there thanking everyone but I don’t think they realize Eazy is what made NWA possible not only NWA but as individual artists. Look at Dre and Cube - became solo artists because of Eazy recruiting them in NWA. Yella and Cube made such emotional speeches to Eazy. He’s forever missed, man.
@@kiis0 Dre talked eazy in to make music man this was dre’s idea but eazy had the money so he started ruthless and then recruted dre and cube
@@TflonDonKikeBeater don’t forget cube had the lyrics too, dre brought the beats
@@Zhoniii30that makes sense. I’ve always thought Cube is a better lyricist than Dre. Love both!
No Bone Thugz without Eazy
Ok, but can we give it to Cube for carrying that speech and addressing all that needs addressing? Shit got me tearing up.
UHNN NOT REALLY .I WAS very Pissed that as Yella &Ren had COMMON SENSE enough to give The Almighty GOD His just due ,bc W/O HIM THere would be No Stage for the Rest of them to Stand on and RECEIVE a R&RHOF Induction PERIODTTTT! &then Cube turn around and USE THE Almighty Lord God's name in VAIN (TWICE)🙄😒😒😒😒😒😒😒😡😡😡😡😡. He's Ignorant &Trifling for that at BEST! HE can be Muslim all he want .But HE WILL BOW DOWN To the Most High NO IFS,ANDS OR BUTS About It! God don't care How Gangsta&Hard he THINK he Is..He is Stupid as H🔥if he doesn't Understand that Concept.
Me too! I got emotional l
@@rissaceehart4076 shut up
@RyCee Lane not everybody believes in same shit you believe in.
The “Rock and Roll is a spirit” part of his speech was brilliant.
I love how DJ Yella laughs lol he seems like a very funny guy, with a great sense of humor lmao
Yes....I was thinking the same thing! Love his humor!! Cube did say he kept it fun & that proved it. 😁👍
He is I’ve talked to him he’s funny asf he’s chill too
You should know by now Eazy did it
Didn’t expect your comment here 👌🏼
* duz it
He really did, he's the reason they're standing there, like Dre said.
Eazy 4 u 2 say
Eazy: Yo Dre!
Dre: Sup?
*gunshots*
Eazy: should’ve known by now
“I’d like to thank my legal team” that definitely aged well
Most definitely
Im way behind what is y'all talking about
@@xaredy3496 They saved him from a vicious goldigger fam.
@@xaredy3496 yep his wife was actually trash
Have long said Dre is the most influential individual in hip hop ever. He literally was in everything for decades until the mumble rap genre took over in the 2010
1. Started his career with NWA
2. Was part of the Death Row East/west coast battle
3. Found and produced Eminem who outsold everyone
4. Which led to producing 50 & G-Unit
5. Headphones were like 10 or 20 bucks until he launched Beats for 300 USD and reshaped that industry
Man was responsible for every major hip hop event for over 30 years. Nobody else is close imo
He brought D. O. C. to LA from Dallas. D. O. C. would be top 5 no doubt if he didn't have car accident
0. He started making gay songs. I think you started following NWA and 90's rap songs after seeing straight outta Compton
@@Red_-_-Bruh Dre never started by making gay songs.
Before N.W.A. Dr Dre was with the World Class Wreckin Cru....look em up, songs that are classic.
Before N.W.A. Dr Dre was with the World Class Wreckin Cru....look em up, songs that are classic.
Ice Cube sure knows how to speak well.
Even as a teenager and young man that was his biggest gift
Imagine after this speech ice cube performing No Vaseline song. Lol. 😂🤣🤣🤣🤣
Uh no. That would be dumb as shit.
😂😂😂
And then dre peforms dre day
Goddamn th- *record scratch* im glad yall set it off!!
@@th3DzA07 and then eazy-e coming back to life performing real muthaphuckin g's
Cube said "Stay In School kids Got Dammit" lol
I know bro I watched it
Got Dammit not G-D dammit
LMAOOOOOOOO
DJ Yella seems like the kinda guy you could sit and bullshit with for hours and just have a blast laughing the entire time.
Didn’t he direct pornography movies?
@@analogkid4957 Now that would make things even funnier
"I'd like to thank my legal team"
Both hilarious, and depressing...
Sounds like a nice guy.
He sure needs it, all the snakes that try to make a buck.
I think it’ displays at face value where his value lies in his people and his consciousness of all things that contributed to his success. Respectful and honest more like it
The millions they made of him is enough of a thank you.
Why?
Love how Dre was hyping up his lawyers lol
Lmao shit he gonna need them
I love how Ice Cube always say exactly what needs to be said. No fear💙
Definitely miss Eazy!!! He didn't even want to be a rapper and financed starting the best rap group ever, but ended up being a legend and my personal favorite rapper ever!!! Love all of them and RIP Eazy!!!!
They gave props to the D.O.C. GOAT
He was definitely one of the best. I still play the Grand Finale
@@darylkinder7946 same brah
Ice Cube, legitly!
He wrote my fav album Doggystyle
I thought it was nice of Dre to compliment Kendrick right when he got up there by basically saying he himself is a goat and will be up there just like they are. Very kind words especially during a moment as powerful as this one. Loved it
Yeah great. Another rapper in the "Rock n Roll Hall of Fame" amazing stuff.
Not.
@@DontDrinkthatstuff yeah I agree there is gonna be so many great rappers excluded there needs to be a hip hop hall of fame in New York where it all began
@@DontDrinkthatstuff they deserve to be there. Bitch about it all you want
@@onigiri2032 No they actually don't. Sorry.
@@DontDrinkthatstuffKendricks albums transcend hiphop/rap though
I love all of their speeches, but Ice Cube always makes me smile the biggest. I've been telling people since 88 that there is absolutely NO difference between N.W.A., Sex Pistols or Guns N Roses. It's the exact same thing...it all comes from the same ATTITUDE. N.W.A. is as rock n roll as The Rolling Stones, The Beatles or Black Sabbath. Damn I love N.W.A. y'all.
Me too with ice cube! I got a bit emotional with his speech lol
Cube got so much love to give, you can see he truly respect his humble beginnings. Respect to N.W.A.
@@Llindaantonio yep!
@@AnarkeeSoundVibes 100%
Beatles is not rock n roll.
Ice cubes other son has totally his vibes.
got his @???
other son?
u talkin about junior?
@@at4na583 no, the other one who sits besides oshea jr.
i got his name. name is shareef jackson
Man they're the dopest rap group ever.....full of supertalented persons
Public Enemy has enter the chat
WU TANG CLAN: HOLD MY FUCKIN BEER
Not really
Yella is so under rated! the guy is just so different. You just know there were times when his friends and NWA would have said "there he goes again, cant take him anywhere!" haha
I definitely started balling when DJ Yella started talking - he speaks with so much love 🥺😭 I love how these gentlemen all showed love to Mama Eazy!
Eazy-E would have been SOOO proud, I can only imagine what he would of said if he was there. I’m so proud this group got inducted, they made history and put Compton on the map after all they went through. They definitely don’t make it like them anymore!!
Cube’s speech was the icing on the cake! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽❤️
Ren has one of the coolest voices ever
When it comes to Ren theres no comparison👍
Ice Cube's speech is one of the best ever. Glad he mentioned The D.O.C. too, he should have been on that stage.
NWA deserves this Award RIP EAZY--E.
No they dont.
Not only do they not know how to play instruments, they cant sing either.
So how tf is that rock n roll? Talkin about white privilege. Shiiit. Whitey gotta have a whole string section just to break the cover of a damn magazine.
@@darnellpistachio2991 somebody hurt you?
@@th3DzA07 who talkin about being hurt? Shit ain't rock n roll. Period.
@@darnellpistachio2991 ice cube explained it very well, rock n roll aint an instrument. They won anyway, dont matter how many times you say they dont deserve it , they already got it.
@@th3DzA07 That's Right
What a legendary group.
Dre is a living legend, respect to Ice Cube, RIP Eazy E
Most influential rap group E. V. E. R.!! Cubes voice is dope AF. Love the way this dude talks and raps. One of the greatest MC ever. NWA 🖤
💯!
A tribe called quest way more
@@baphometfathom5348 you’re crazy! NWA literally changed the game . Look at rap today , that’s because of NWA .
Cube always got a way with his speeches man
All the NWA members knew what they want , and poured their heart and soul into their passion into it and didn't get involve in gang related stuff. They're role models for the kids.
I wish most of this was true, sadly a lot of them were actually affected by gang like, the most being Ren and Eazy, (Ren was a kelly compton crip.)
@@wooboy0 so was eazy
I'm amazed by how Ice Cube's son, little Oshay duplicated his dad. The resemblance is insane. All of the actors did such a good job.
It’s spelt O’Shea
"I wanna thank Lonzo's wife" good old yella😆😆
What did he mean by that tho lol😂
@@crisrivera1567 Guess only they know 😂
@@crisrivera1567 Its a joke in the movie, lonzo is the guy who owned the club that yella and dre performed prior to NWA
I like how Cube keeps it real and mentions D.O.C because he was a major player in later NWA and no one ever remembers him or gives him any credit
11:43 this part of the interview was like soo emotional it's like growing up together and now thanking his own friends about what they done for him 😭❤️❤️.
Look at the history on that stage everyone. No literally take a moment. LOOK
Look at what this group has done, where they all have gone separately and together. The history in music, television, and film from NWA. Their hands are everywhere and in everything.
Know that. Understand that.
When cube said “I’d like to dedicate this to eazy” you can see Dre in emotional pain hidden in his smile
Gotta love DJ Yella getting the selfie immediately after 😁😂
"The person that saved my life" wonder how he feels now about that statement...
Ren still looks like he always did. Under rated IMHO
I like that they brought Eazy’s mom up to celebrate with them classy and cool 😎
Am an Arab from the Sultanate Of Oman and in the late 80s me and my friend and close family use to listen to NWA. that tells the world how great they where all the way to Arabia. i got nothing but love for you all and R.I.P Easy
Shoutout to Ice Cube he knew who his audience was look at him analyzing before he spoke. Gave thanks and what most people don’t realize is for someone like us that grew up in that era, putting ur pride aside and acknowledge ur boys. Once a homeboy always a homeboy and keeping it 100, that’s what makes you a better man. I know this is old but it’s a reminder to a new generation to not repeat the mistakes we made and avoid these problems and admire and celebrate a successful story.
I don't know why, but seeing Cube speak at 9:50 while Kendrick standing in the back watching...
Man, it's like seing the future legacy being made.
maan i am watching mc ren right here at 10:55 thinking: he has one of the greatest flows in history of hip hop, and hes still laughing to cube's statement,.. Mc Ren is my favorite actually, cuz he is always in the background (figuratively and literally) but his talent speaks for itself.
Eazy made this exact moment possible. Let’s address that… yes they made the entire NWA group. But it was his vision, his money, and he paved the way for gangsta rap and put Compton on the map. The good ones are gone but never ever forgotten. Eazy was the face of this group. I’m glad they said him last in the speeches but it was the longest ones out of each of their speech. Should never be forgotten that he made this possible.
Those are real legends on that stage.
I like that cube mentioned The DOC, dope of him to do that
When dj yella talk about Ez his expression he still misses ez until now
When yella started talking 'bout Lonzo's girl😂
Who lonzo
@@geekster-z7z lonzo was the "doo too" club owner where dre and yella were dj's
LMAOOOOO
Lonzo was probably like "This nigga....wait till I see him" lol
@@geekster-z7z Lonzo Williams used to manage Dre and Yella in The World Class Wrecking Crew Group they was in Before them and Eazy E Cube and REN put NWA together
Ice Cube, the master of words..!
Yella gotta be the most chilliest person ever
Yella sharing his memories of E.. priceless 💙
So deserving!!!!!! NWA for real legend! I ain’t even into Rap/ Hiphop but I know NWA and how they started something that would change music forever
Did anyone notice the silence when DJ Yella expressed gratitude to God?
it’s sad all he was doing was showing his thanks to God
Everyone will get their chance.
Lol it's the way the world's going. It was literally less meaningful than any other heartfelt thank you that they gave out there. At least most of them could hear it.
Everyone that watched the video noticed it most likely. Is that what you meant or??
Because everyone there is satanic
Yella really taking this moment in! Taking pictures from the stage
I don’t think a single band since maybe the Beatles has had members that are just as iconic and successful with their solo careers and projects. All five of the members of NWA have had such a huge and undeniable influence on the last thirty years or so years of music and pop culture.
Cube is the fucking man. When he spoke about "is NWA Rock and Roll", that gave me goosebumps. NWA 4-Life
Proud being from Compton Ca 🇲🇽
Much love to N.W.A. as a group and as individuals. So many memories from back in the day listening to them. Boys in da hood is still my favorite song and it gets major airplay whenever I dj
Rock-n-Roll is all flavors of music. NWA is Rock-N-Roll.
Greatness that will never ever go away how influential from the ghetto to the raising sun to fame, fortune, money, and power. How such rappers like Easy E, Ice Cu,and Dr Dre, in your lyrics spread throughout the world influencing a young generation of all Nationalities to heights of sovereignty.
sad looking back on this ..the person who saved his life... his wife nicole... regardless these guys are the the roots of hip hop along with others before them.. R.I.P eazy e.. i thank you for getting me into bone thugs n harmony.. they changed my life.
Fair play.
NWA well deserved!
Ice Cubes speech was amazing
I love that Ren has his arm on the shoulder of Eazy's mom. E loved you Ren
Boy you should've known by now, Eazy did it. R.I.P. A legend, he's the reason they're standing up there, like dre said.
I love Yellas laugh it’s just so warming😂😂
I love the fact that NWA got into the rock & roll hall of fame n I glade that they changed the culture of hip hop music n everything
Thank God they put the whole speech and not just Ice Cube's part
I just loved this message from each one of them. Music is magical!! Love me some NWA
I love Ice Cube. One of my favorite rappers ever.
Dj yella was always smiling and enjoying life real g
Bruh MC Ren, Ice Cube, and Dr Dre look so intimidating standing behind the person who’s talking and then there’s DJ Yella who’s just looks like :D
Yella seems like that really cool guy who's friends with everyone at school
Dr. Dre's wife is trying to monetize that shout out right about now.
Michel’l was Dre first love but has a history of beating women he gave her 3 black eyes broke her propose to her had a child with her then cheated on her
I love that they wearing the hats and Loks as a tribute to E
I grew up on NWA, Great Music, Great TIMES! What's up HOMES!!!😎
did u mean homies?
Man the most honest expression i have seen in my life, once you reached your goal, the top.
MAaaaan that shit was dope!!!!!
its done. you guys made it, and we love you!
Already 5 years damn time flies 🖤🤘🏼
Damn thoes speeches were dope 💪🏼
That was a beautiful speech by all of them. If Cube would've started it off with "Yo Dre, I got sumthin' to say" it would have been perfect. #DamnThatIshWuzDope
10:08 and on, you can see RHCP drummer Chad Smith just SMILING watching Cube speak. I love it.
Thank you for uploading this! FINALLY, not an audience bootleg recording!!!! Is Kendrik Lamar's induction speech uploaded, too?
Yep just watched Kendrick!
How could they not be inducted??? Rock n Roll had a heavy influence in Hip Hop from RUN DMC to EMINEM to TUPAC SHAKUR!!!! My advice to Mr. Gene Simmons is a little quote from another great rock legend the EAGLES "GET OVER IT" !!!!🤩🤩🤩🤩
N.W.A. were the best group in hip-hop because they had something to say if it was good or bad, but they were determined to shock people & make music for the fans. Dre. Dre went to Death Row Records in 1992 and created The Chronic which is still his biggest selling rap album in history, Ice Cube Amerikkka's Most wanted & my favorite album Death Certificate which is still a classis record to this day.
Eazy E is N.W.A.

I just don’t like Dre….tries to make himself look better than Eazy
NWA was the soundtrack to my teenage years ✌🏾
yella is such a son to eazy's mother. god bless him, eazy and his mother.
Every time They mention Eazy E. Dre reaction changed I believe Dj Yella still misses Eazy E till this day.
I’m sure he does
Well yeah Eazy was yella’s best friend back in the day and dr Dre and eazy had a lot of beef
Absolutely
Dre got him killed
Madhu Balan
Eazy E died of HIV / AIDS
The Respect Man!!!! Respect.. Kuddos always tO KDOT... Right now.. U r one of the Greats!!!!!!
MC Ren was dope, he shoulda kept making music like Cube.
If only easy was here for this I'm sure hes looking down smiling rest easy brother lifetime legend one love
Rock & Roll is SPIRIT...................DAMN
Been listening to these Brothers since 6th grade and I'm 44 now, moms bought me the EASY DUZ IT album but she didn't KNOW what she was buying me BUT i did
NWA!! Rockin Roll - RIP Easy!! Miss you!!
The only man who is true to Eazy-E is DJ Yella.
