In the late ’80′s, producer Andre “Dr. Dre” Young was a member of the gangsta rap group NWA, signed to fellow member Eric “Eazy-E” Wright’s Ruthless Records. As head of production at the label, Dre produced a large number of Ruthless projects, many of them high-selling; feeling the pressures of having to produce so many acts, Dre became interested Ruthless[3]. After the departure of Ice Cube over financial disagreements with Heller[4], artist and friend The DOC and friend Suge Knight went over the books with a lawyer. Convinced that Heller was dishonest, they approached Young about forming a label with them, away from Heller and Eazy-E[5]. Allegedly using strong-arm tactics, Knight was able to procure contracts from Eazy for The DOC, Dr. Dre and singer Michel’le[6]. Knight approached successful rapper Robert “Vanilla Ice” Van Winkle, using management connections with rapper Mario “Chocolate” Johnson, claiming that Johnson had written and produced the song, and had not received credit or royalties for the song.[7] Knight and two bodyguards arrived at The Palm in West Hollywood, where Van Winkle was eating. After shoving Van Winkle’s bodyguards aside, Knight and his own bodyguards sat down in front of Van Winkle, staring at him before finally asking “How you doin’?”[7] Similar incidents were repeated on several occasions before Knight showed up at Van Winkle’s hotel suite on the fifteenth floor of the Bel Age Hotel, accompanied by Johnson and a member of the Oakland Raiders

    @weinercornerz Eazy-E was more real then Suge even with his short height Eazy was a real dude, he literally came from the streets and new his business. Everything Suge knew about business was through College. That is why Compton had Eazy’s back more so than Suge’s because Eazy-E was the type of dude that the streets favored.
