Eazy-E was NOT tortured into signing the release forms for Dr.Dre and Michelle to join Death Row Records. What happened was that Suge Knight and his bodyguards surprised Jerry Heller in his office and intimidated Heller into signing away his claim on Dre and Michelle. Mob James who help coordinate the attack confirms this 4 minutes into the interview.



Shortly thereafter, Eazy-E was lured under false pretenses to meet with Dre to resolve their contract dispute. When Eazy realized the meeting was a set-up, they cornered him with weapons and implied that non-compliance could bring harm to people Eazy cares about. However, Eazy was clever enough to sign with a faulty signature that made his release of claim null and void. As soon as they left, he quickly started arming himself with guns to plan revenge and murder Suge for extorting him, but was quickly calmed down by Heller who suggested they retaliate through the law of contract.



The movie shows that Eazy was struggling after NWA completely broke up, but this is not true. Eazy put out an album a month before Snoop's first album that dissed them both and sold over 2 million copies. Eazy also formed Bone Thugs and Harmony and they began recording the album in late 1994, releasing just a couple months after Eazy died. That album sold 6 million copies. His record label Ruthless Records were doing fantastic by the time he fell sick with AIDS. He fired Heller and restructured the business with his artist to get their publishing via his wife through power of attorney when he knew he was going to die.



Although they show in the movie that Eazy was aware of Dre's success of Chronic, they fail to acknowledge that Dr. Dre lost the beef between them. Eazy E followed up with his EP that went double platinum and exposed Dre's past of not being down with the streets, of which Dre never responded directly. Snoop inherited the beef with his album Doggystyle, which is a concession of defeat since Snoop has a street resume that Dre doesn't.

The movie shows the wives of Ice Cube and Eazy as influential people in the men's life, but largely ignores the private life of Dr. Dre aside from losing his younger brother to street crime and a brief mention of his step-brother Warren G.

Dr. Dre was a known philanderer; he fathered his first child at sixteen years old. From his own admission, he abused alcohol too much and had a very bad temperament. Until his marriage to Nicole Threatt, his encounters with his significant others often ended due to domestic violence or infidelity. I'll let the women in his life speak for themselves, it's no surprise the movie largely skipped over these facts.





There's also questions about the extent to which Dr. Dre produces records, because many artist have come forward over the decades with accounts of him appropriating their sound as his own.

From my opinion, Dr. Dre is an audio engineer and conductor. He'll program drums ask the musicians to play along, whether it's keyboards or guitars. When he hears something he likes, he isolates the musician and coach them on how to refine the melody. Then will then perform various mixes of the song before settling on the desire result.
