Eazy-E Unreleased LAST Interview (February 1995)





RP:
Lately, you've talked a lot about jealousy.

Eazy-E:
Those may hate you, but when you hate them…you destroy yourself [he coughs for a while. After a moment, he puts a tape in the deck]. This is some of the producing that I've been doing. I was thinking this would be a good track for me and Ren.

RP:
You did this track? I didn't know you produced.

Eazy-E:
I did a lot of songs on N.W.A. All that old @#%$. I didn't want the credit because I'm the company, I'm an artist myself, I had a solo album before N.W.A. was out, and I'm in the group (coughs). I didn't want the credit because everyone has egos. I'm getting paid for being in a group and (for) owning the company and being a solo artist. Here's what Dre did. Say me and Ren would come up with a whole idea for a song. Dre was good at putting it together. So we might have an idea for a song, lay it down at home on a little four track or 12 track, and (then) Dre would put it together, him and DJ Yella.

RP:
Which N.W.A. tracks are you talking about in particular?

Eazy-E:
"Findum, ****em and Flee," "She Swallowed It"…me and Ren did a lot of stuff. "Approach to Danger"… a lot of them. I can't remember all of them. A lot of stuff, you could tell if you knew Dre [and] his style. He was in N.W.A., but Dre came from the Wrecking Crew, but I got him to do this other type of music I wanted to do, the gangsta @#%$, and I got Dre away from what he was doing. Ice Cube was from C.I.A. and the Stereo Crew, and if you knew their style, they were like the Beastie Boys. I put' em together, and we formed N.W.A., and they changed their style. And they started hollering Compton because that's where we were from: me, Ren, and Yella.

RP:
You want me to put this in here?

Eazy-E:
Yeah. Whether I had some fake people with me or not. But when Ice Cube split, he never hollered Compton no more. He started hollering "How to survive in South Central." You haven't heard him holler Compton no more. If you look back in the people's pasts and check their style, you'll where they really came from. Go back to their past and see what they were doing in the beginning. Dre, if you listen to his style of music from N.W.A. to now, it's totally different. Dre stole that style [G-funk] from Cold 187um, Rhythm D and a couple of other people he stole from. Dre stole stuff from that, Above The Law's, Black Mafia Life's "Never Missing a Beat." [He coughs twice, then three times] They're good songs.

RP:
So how old are you?

Eazy-E:
Young. [Coughing] Just young. Nobody knows how old.

RP:
People say you got the money together to finance Ruthless Records by selling drugs?

Eazy-E:
They can say whatever, but whatever it came from, they can't prove it.

RP:
What's up with you and Cube these days? Are you working with him on anything?

Eazy-E:
Me and Cube is cool. That's all I can say. We've sat down an' talked a couple of times. I've got nothing against him.

RP:
What do you think are some of the misconceptions people have about Ruthless Records?

Eazy-E:
Number one…that it's my company. I'm the sole owner. There's no investors, there's no partners. It's my company.

RP:
Looking at the number of successful Black-owned record companies and how you were one of the first to…

Eazy-E:
Even if they're Black-owned, they're being financed by someone else. There's a lot of companies, like Russell (Simmons), Andre Harrell's Uptown Records, Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis's label. You had Motown…

RP:
Motown is not Black-owned.

Eazy-E:
It was at one time. I said, "You had Motown." (He laughs) Jermaine Dupris is doing something now. Yeah, I was one of them. Then everyone else who broke off from me, some of them is doing good.

RP:
Getting back to misconceptions…

Eazy-E:
I treat my artists real good. All that, "He @#%$ me"…then why am I still making money off them? If someone @#%$ me, they wouldn't be making a dime off me. Dre went out running his mouth off, and nothing he said was true. Everything was false. I still make money off him; I still got about five more years to go.

RP:
So what you're saying is that if you were ripping Dre off, that courts would have ruled on his side? The paperwork…

Eazy-E:
Yeah, contracts and everything, and I worked out a deal with Interscope. I give my artists fair deals. I start them off at 12 points, with escalation at every 500,000. In the publishing, a 50-50 split. Today, most people take 100% of the artist's 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).

More 2pac Writings






2pac + Tha Outlawz - 6 or 12 (unreleased)



Because of the rat race between difference companies, they are now leaking songs without 2pac's verses (also probably to avoid lawsuits) anyway, here u go a dope ass outlawz song. This is kinda like "Where U Been" where the CDQ was leaked without pac's verse, also with the official release of "NY '87" a super eastcoast-diss which also seen the removal of pac's verse.



bump this now while u can, like "where u been" pac's section will be leaked in due time....

Story Of How Sam Sneed Got Beat Up By Tupac And Others For Putting Too Many EastCoast Doods In His Video!!!!

Anyways this is from the book "rollin with Dre" by Bruce Williams. He was dres right hand man.


Rollin’ With Dre
Chapter 12: Beyond Beef At Benihana
By Bruce Williams
(Pages 102 – 103)


Bruce Williams: Sam Sneed had a single in the chamber called “Recognize,” his solo debut—a real hot one, too. But Dre had been to the video shoot—had seen who did cameos—and knew Suge wasn’t calling a meeting with Sam just to confirm congratulations. Something just didn’t feel right.

“Serious, don’t go to that meeting,” I urged Sneed.
“You know we left Death Row,” Dre chimed in. “You know them niggas know you wanna be with us. I just don’t think it’s a good idea.”

Well, the kid wasn’t trying to hear this. He was trying to be a standup guy. So he went out to Can-Am to screen that video.

It surprised Sneed that so many members of the family came out for this. Tupac was in the building, as were the usual complement of Suge’s lackeys and even Hammer. The “Pumps and a Bump” gangsta makeover hadn’t worked for the former multiplatinum rapper, but he was still hanging out. That seemed weird to Sneed. But nice, possibly. He wanted to believe it was recognition for the effort he had put into the product. Within weeks there was to be a Sam Sneed Death Row album in stores.

The stylized black-and-white footage rolled, and there was Dre rapping in close-up, just as expected. Negativity sucked the conference room empty, just as to be expected. Sam Sneed felt cause for concern, but he also thought they knew. Or maybe he thought they wouldn’t care. It was, after all, a hella hecka tight video.

But the music sounded like a Death Row track, by which I mean it was a Dr. Dre track. And Dre was doing the hook. That was bad enough. Then the East Coast niggas started showing up in cameos. First some East Coast basketball cats, big and impressive names if you’re from Brooklyn. This was the San Fernando Valley, though. And there was a war goin’ on.

Tupac said, “If I see one more East Coast nigga in this mother fucker…”

Sam had been flirting with a girl in the most dominant image of the video’s second half. The two stood posted at a bar. It played pretty well. The rumbling ceased, mostly.

Then Kool G. Rap entered the video frame.

“What the fuck!” shouted Tupac.

And everybody began to beat the shit out of Sam Sneed. Fists, legs, whatever. Everybody at that meeting got a lick or a kick all up in his ass. I can almost see where they were coming from. Like, how are you gonna be on the Death Row team when you’re hangin’ out with Dre and a lot of niggas from the East?

Suge mad Sneed put in an appearance at a party for Snoop that night. He even gave a toast. Then he flew home to Pittsburgh. Sam was never the same. Death Row never relased the album. Not too long ago the nigga had brain surgery, just to get his ass back to some semblance of normality. The crazy shit is that Sam Sneed is my dog, but he’s never owned up to exactly what happened that day at Can-Am, even though I know the deal from folks that was there. My guess is that it’s hard to talk to me about it, considering I told his dumb ass not to go.

SOURCE: Rollin’ With Dre – Chapter 12: Beyond Beef At Benihana (Pages 102 – 103)

2pac in North Hollywood (PART 1)

Simone Green (about Tupac): Well, you know, we kinda hit it off. When I first met him it was because a friend of mine, [singer] Val Young, was having a potluck at her house. She had an apartment, but she could pack that joint like it was a concert 'cause everybody in that apartment was famous: from Darryl Strawberry to the Mary Jane Girls to Tupac Shakur, Yo-Yo, Bell Biv Devoe, everybody was there. They came for the food. And, I moved in that building and she asked me to make some buffalo wings. And I made the buffalo wings, and I tell you Tupac snatched them wings up and snuck into a corner and ate 'em all. He loved the wings to the point where that's what made us become friends. He [would say], "Oh, yo, can you make some more of those wings." [Says slyly] I moved right around the corner. And he literally had moved on our same street but on the other side, in North Hollywood. So he invited me and Val and her daughter over. And, I went over and I took my wings over there as [needed]. He was addicted to the wings. I think he liked the wings as much as he liked other stuff.  

Tupac on the 101 Freeway calling a radio station.


I remember my dad brought me to some lady's house on Lankershim that used to fux wit pac. All i seen was the inside of her house and a picture of her and pac. looked like one of those mall pics with the tacky background and plastic flowers. obviously she had that pic front and center lol.

PART 2 COMING SOON!
