Throwback Picture of Eazy E in a Car

Checkout this throwback picture of the king of gangster music, the late Eazy E. This was in the late 70s, when Eazy (Eric Wright) was in his teens. If you don't know him, know this- without this man, they might not have been an Eminem, or Snoop Dogg, or 50 Cent, or a Kendrick Lamar. He brought Ice Cube, and Dr. Dre together to start N.W.A in the mid 80s.

R.I.P Jerry Heller

Former music manager/music label owner, Jerry Heller passed away at 75 years old yesterday. Cause of death? Heart attack.God bless his soul.

In case you don't know who he was, the man played a big part in the success of the legendary Hip Hop group, N.W.A (Niggas With Attitude). Back in 1987, he signed a partnership deal with Eazy E to form Ruthless Records, and used his connections (he had been managing successful musicians as far back as the 70s and 60s) in the music industry to push N.W.A's music to nationwide status in the U.S.

What's Your Take on The N.W.A Biopic Movie; Straight Outta Compton

I finally got to watch the N.W.A Biopic Movie, Straight Outta Compton yesterday, and I wasn't disappointed. With a budget of $28 million, the movie has already grossed $120 million in less than three weeks; that's more than 400% return on investment. It has been at the top of the box office chart two weeks straight. Nice!!! More money for Ice Cube's movie producing company, Cube Vision, which partnered with Legendary Pictures, New Line Cinemas, Crucial Films, and Broken Chair Flickz to make this movie.

Okay, enough of the money and technical talk, let's get to talking about the movie itself. I have to say this is one the best biopic movies of any musician (s) I have see. I guess because it is so raw and real. And it portrays the early lives of individuals that would go on to heavily influence the Hip Hop world. From Ice Cube turning his back on his group mates, because he felt cheated (he wrote most of Dre and Eazy's lyrics). To Eazy E going on to sign Bone Thugz N Harmony, one of the most successful rap groups ever. To Dre going to find snoop, Eminem, 50 Cent, Game, and now Kendrick Lamar. All of these have their roots in N.W.A being created by Dre, and Eazy E back in 1986-1987.
