"Straight Outta Compton" topped the box office for the third week in a row and made history as the highest grossing musical biopic ever.

N.W.A’s former manager, Jerry Heller, recently weighed in on the possibility that Eazy-E was injected with AIDS by Suge Knight. This comes in light of the comments made by Yung Eazy, the son of Eazy-E, and his recent Instagram post where he highlighted his view that Suge Knight was behind his father’s passing in March of […]

https://instagram.com/p/6k6FZOh4aI/?taken-by=iamyungeazy Straight Outta Compton‘s release revived one of hip-hop’s darkest conspiracy theories. This one alleges that Eazy-E didn’t die of AIDS-related complications. Rather, he was killed — possibly by Suge Knight. It would be a farfetched idea in most circumstances, but Knight’s infamous reputation makes this a legit possibility in the eyes of some. One believer is Eazy E’s […]

The N.W.A biopic film "Straight Outta Compton" shattered box office records, but unfortunately that didn't make headlines.

As Eazy-E’s legacy begins to ignite, many fans have been reminded that the 31-year-old rapper died in 1995 due to complications from AIDS.

Gary Gray’s Straight Outta Compton. In the ’80s and ’90s, Dr. Dre, Eazy-E, and Ice Cube sculpted rap culture with sheer bravado and unforgivable candor. To some, […]

Word?

Jerry Heller, the former manager of N.W.A, is making it clear that he doesn’t like Suge Knight. Earlier this month, Heller admitted he was wrong when he stopped his business partner Eric “Eazy-E” Wright from killing the former Death Row Records head honcho when he first proposed the idea to him. The Ruthless Records co-founder continued his tirade […]

The former manager of N.W.A and co-founder of Ruthless Records Jerry Heller has never been one to mince his words when it comes to commenting on the truth of N.W.A, Eazy-E and the whole gangsta rap movement of the late ’80s and ’90s. Recently, the famed music executive spoke with the Murder Master Music Show […]

  The long-awaited trailer for ‘Straight Outta Compton‘ has finally arrived. Ice Cube gave us all a brief preview of what to expect, but that pales in comparison to the official first look. Channeling classic L.A. films ‘Boyz ‘N The Hood‘ and ‘Menace II Society‘, the N.W.A. biopic looks like an instant classic. Take a […]
