What does that have to do with anything?
I’m just confused I guess.

I’m not quite sure I understand that?
Then again, it’s probably just me.

This guy has an answer to everything except “did you gank Dre, Cube, Ren and Yella. and the only reason why they didn’t sue probably is because they where between labels and didn’t have the funds. He actually says he wants to get back into the business, so this is some type of right of passage ghetto pass type shit. You can’t fool us your like the rest we like your son until the money stops.

I won’t be reading Jerry Heller’s book and I disagree about “No Vaseline” being the illest diss track ever…It definitely was one of the most anticipated, considering the popularity of N.W.A., but not the BEST all time. Ruthless was famous for screwing over it’s artists like the West Coast version of Wild Pitch…why would I read a first hand account by one of it’s execs? Selective memory on Heller’s part would be an issue…he waited long enough that Tomica Wright would have to reply SECOND. Smart idea, but I don’t believe you…you need more people. Good one, Tara. One.

the main points are:

Cube probably didn’t get ganked as bad as he claims, cause Jerry is right about that “why didn’t he sue?” excuse.

and yes, even when I spoke to Jerry, there was a lapse in time when discussing Eazy’s last days and his why he wasn’t close to Eazy then, when they were so close for so long before that. Unsolved mystery, indeed.

Regardless, I want to read this book soooo bad, and Jerry Heller is to at least be given some respect. Him and Eazy SHOULD have been paid the most, they ran the business. Eazy gets 2 checks as label owner and rapper, Dre gets two checks as producer and rapper, Jerry gets one check as label exec, and Cube gets one check, as rapper… which is a lower paying job than label exec and it always has been. Cube never said how much he was being robbed. Was he just being greedy? hmmmm….

After so long, it’s nice to see people know the full story has yet to be told, and the truth needs to still come out.

this whole damn game is RUTHLESS

nice post, Tara. one love!

damn, Heller is full of shit. NO ONE in the record industry is “nice peoples.” after heller, there was Puffy, Suge, Master P, shit – everybody is robbing artists. people don’t just these multi latinum labels because it’s all good. shit is nothing new in hip hop or the music industry in general

how many copies of this tome has this column sold? is there a disclaimer anywhere regarding the publishers of XXL also being publishers of the book in question? If you don’t deny it , it must be true.

I like your work baby. Tara. I especially like the piece you penned of Tupac – in celebration of his Death Anniversary (if U can even call it a celebration or a Anniversary for that matter). But the homeboyz and I are trying to figure out what is your ethnic bckgroun’. Holla back. Oh yeah fuck BOL

Her columns have been getting better but her writing still begs for an editor. To wit: “Before founding Ruthless Records with Eazy-E, Heller worked with the legends like Bruce Springsteen and Marvin Gaye.”

I see, I never realized Bruce Springsteen and Marvin Gaye were legends, thanks for pointing that out.

Also I laughed at the concept of consulting internet comment-leavers regarding a supposed “street code.”

Tara has a “edgy” post for a change.
Jerry Heller has mob ties an he also had someone inject Eazy wit aids cuz Eazy discovered that Heller was really rippin him off (like Cube an Dre said). Eazy was gonna get rid of him but Heller got rid of Eazy 1st.
