00:00:24,483 --> 00:00:27,244
[ANNOUNCER] [ON RADIO] You're on
the radio, on K-EAZY-E, with Greg Mac.
6
00:00:27,319 --> 00:00:30,653
Don't forget to join us this Friday
night live, we'll be jammin' with Eazy-E,

00:00:30,739 --> 00:00:32,605
with more radio.

00:00:33,075 --> 00:00:36,693
[RAPPING] Now disc jockeys
are playin' me in rotation

Hittin' number-one spots across the nation
10
00:00:38,956 --> 00:00:41,869
I'm on the charts, you can go list 'em
11
00:00:41,959 --> 00:00:44,200
But now listen, I'm on your system

AM or FM, I'm in power
13
00:00:47,130 --> 00:00:49,497
You hear my record once every hour
14
00:00:49,591 --> 00:00:52,083
So listen up to the rhyme and percussion
15
00:00:52,177 --> 00:00:54,544
But do this with no discussion
16
00:00:54,638 --> 00:00:57,756
Eazy-E is the godfather of gangsta rap.
17
00:00:57,849 --> 00:00:59,465
[CONTINUES RAPPING] Yo, I got reason
18
00:00:59,560 --> 00:01:02,427
But you don't have Eazy-E without Dr. Dre.
19
00:01:02,521 --> 00:01:04,888
- [RAPPING] Yo, Dre, do it your way
- [RAPPING] What up?
20
00:01:04,982 --> 00:01:07,223
On the radio you get more looser
21
00:01:07,317 --> 00:01:09,604
Take my word, you're a dope producer

23
00:01:12,447 --> 00:01:14,859

That's how the shit go.
26
00:01:20,497 --> 00:01:22,829
[ICE CUBE] Ruthless started out
the gate winnin'.
27
00:01:22,916 --> 00:01:25,078
You know, Boyz N The Hood became a hit,
28
00:01:25,168 --> 00:01:27,159
so we had to follow it up.
29
00:01:27,629 --> 00:01:30,997
[DR. DRE] But we needed more writers, so
we called in a friend of mine from Dallas,
30
00:01:31,091 --> 00:01:33,458
The D.O.C, and Eazy brought Ren in.
31
00:01:33,552 --> 00:01:35,168
How was that? Too slow?
32
00:01:35,512 --> 00:01:38,049
[INTERVIEWER] I never seen a roadrunner
by the pool like this.
33
00:01:38,307 --> 00:01:40,765
You ain't never seen 'em?
They run out here all day, man.
34
00:01:41,018 --> 00:01:43,259
- [INTERVIEWER LAUGHS]
- Animal kingdom.
35
00:01:43,353 --> 00:01:45,685
[CHUCKLES] Yeah, man.
36
00:01:45,772 --> 00:01:48,560
My relationship with E,
first startin' out, man, it was like...
37
00:01:49,192 --> 00:01:50,545
Yeah, you can say like a little brother,
38
00:01:50,569 --> 00:01:52,463
'cause he grew up
right around the corner from me.
39
00:01:52,487 --> 00:01:53,852
What, you want me to scream?
40
00:01:53,947 --> 00:01:57,986
[REN] Eazy-E, he's totally opposite
of what a lot of people think he is.
41
00:01:58,577 --> 00:01:59,988
[RAPPING] To put out hits
42
00:02:00,412 --> 00:02:02,028
[ALL LAUGH]
43
00:02:02,122 --> 00:02:03,908
[REN] He cool. He a comedian.
44
00:02:03,999 --> 00:02:05,114
He always got jokes.
45
00:02:05,834 --> 00:02:07,199
But when E did Boyz N The Hood,
46
00:02:07,878 --> 00:02:10,023
it was like a shock to me,
because I'm in the neighborhood,
47
00:02:10,047 --> 00:02:11,913
I'm tryin' to be an MC.
48
00:02:12,007 --> 00:02:13,839
And then out the blue, I hear, like, Man.
49
00:02:13,925 --> 00:02:16,045
Who is... That's E?
You know, that's him doing that?
50
00:02:16,136 --> 00:02:19,174
But I got the rundown
from the story of how it came about.
51
00:02:19,264 --> 00:02:22,473
[EAZY-E] Now I want to turn up my box
and make much noise
52
00:02:22,559 --> 00:02:25,642
and rock the party and
shock all the B Boys, like that.
53
00:02:25,729 --> 00:02:29,723
[DJ YELLA] The way Eazy learned to rap
was Dre having patience.
54
00:02:29,816 --> 00:02:31,272
Now I wanna turn up...
55
00:02:31,360 --> 00:02:32,976
Ah, shit, man. Keep going.
56
00:02:33,070 --> 00:02:34,526
Because he was not a rapper.
57
00:02:34,613 --> 00:02:38,527
So Dre had to teach him
word by word, line by line.
58
00:02:38,617 --> 00:02:39,698
Now, I wanna turn up...
59
00:02:39,785 --> 00:02:41,822
- Ah, shit. [YELLS]
- [ALL GROAN]
60
00:02:41,912 --> 00:02:43,573
- Seventy-three takes.
- [EAZY-E] Shit.
61
00:02:43,664 --> 00:02:46,531
He'd be in there so long,
that you'd just be, like, I'm out, man.
62
00:02:46,625 --> 00:02:47,727
I'll get with y'all tomorrow.
63
00:02:47,751 --> 00:02:50,493
[EAZY-E] But jealous people,
they just call... [BABBLES]
64
00:02:51,088 --> 00:02:52,649
[ICE CUBE] That's usually
when I had to exit,
65
00:02:52,673 --> 00:02:57,759
'cause I just couldn't sit there
and just hear these words get butchered.
66
00:02:57,844 --> 00:02:59,906
We only got till tomorrow.
That's all right. Keep goin'.
67

You can't say shit,
you little pale bastard.

And fuck all y'all. Suck my dick.

00:03:05,227 --> 00:03:08,265
- But Eric had such a unique voice.
- [EAZY-E] Shit.
70
00:03:08,355 --> 00:03:12,565
[ICE CUBE] Man, to see Dre
turn this dude into a mega-star...
71
00:03:12,651 --> 00:03:14,016
YO, yo:
72
00:03:14,111 --> 00:03:17,854
It's like seeing Dr. Frankenstein work
or some fuckin' wizard or somethin'.
73
00:03:17,948 --> 00:03:19,438
Wait a minute, wait a minute.
74
00:03:19,533 --> 00:03:21,274
- Who does it?
- Eazy does it.
75
00:03:21,368 --> 00:03:22,699
But how does he do it?
76
00:03:22,786 --> 00:03:23,930
[MUSIC PLAYING ON HEADPHONES]
77
00:03:23,954 --> 00:03:25,014
Longer. It gotta be longer.
78
00:03:25,038 --> 00:03:26,641
- That was perfect right there.
- That was right.
79
00:03:26,665 --> 00:03:27,934
- Yeah.
- That wasn't long enough.
80
00:03:27,958 --> 00:03:29,686
- That was right.
- Gotta have it a little bit longer.
81
00:03:29,710 --> 00:03:31,542
No, that was perfect. Just like that.
82
00:03:35,340 --> 00:03:38,878
I think it was the perfect combination
because we had Eazy.
83
00:03:39,428 --> 00:03:43,137
He's comin' from this hard-core,
drug dealin', street perspective.
84
00:03:43,890 --> 00:03:48,305
And Cube would come in
with the more Malcolm X, political voice.
85
00:03:48,395 --> 00:03:49,806
You're goddamn right.
86
00:03:49,896 --> 00:03:51,637
[DR. DRE] The angry rapper, so to speak.
87
00:03:52,607 --> 00:03:56,475
I was tryin' to be street
but commercial at the same time,
88
00:03:56,570 --> 00:03:58,050
because I wanted the records to sell.
89
00:03:58,530 --> 00:04:02,819
And Ren was the pop voice
that bridged these two perspectives.
90
00:04:04,411 --> 00:04:09,247
D.O.C. wrote a lot of Eazy's lyrics,
but he was always meant to be a solo act.
91
00:04:10,417 --> 00:04:16,379
So Eazy, Cube, Ren, Yella and myself,
we decided to create a group.
92
00:04:16,882 --> 00:04:21,001
And we wanted to be a little bit shocking,
so you listened to what we're tiyin' to say.
93
00:04:21,094 --> 00:04:22,094
[ELECTRICITY CRACKLES]
94
00:04:23,764 --> 00:04:25,575
[ICE CUBE] There was a war
on gangs at the time,
95
00:04:25,599 --> 00:04:29,342
which means if you think I look like
a gang banger, it's a war on me.
96
00:04:29,770 --> 00:04:32,102
So we wanted to show the world our world.
97
00:04:32,189 --> 00:04:33,829
We just wanted to put Compton on the map.
98
00:04:34,399 --> 00:04:40,520
[ICE CUBE] Gangbangin', crack cocaine,
Daryl Gates, the LAPD, Reaganomics...
99
00:04:40,655 --> 00:04:41,770
That was our formula.
100
00:04:41,865 --> 00:04:43,947
[YELLA] We were just ghetto reporters.
101
00:04:46,161 --> 00:04:49,699
[ICE CUBE] And then Dre and Eazy
pulled up one day,
102
00:04:49,790 --> 00:04:52,248
and said, We got a name for the group.
103
00:04:52,834 --> 00:04:54,450
And I was like, What is it?
104
00:04:54,586 --> 00:04:55,872
He said, N.W.A.
105
00:04:57,380 --> 00:04:59,587
And I thought, What the fuck?
106
00:05:00,550 --> 00:05:02,712
That's initials. What does that mean?
107
00:05:03,261 --> 00:05:05,127
And he was like, Niggaz With Attitudes.
108
00:05:05,222 --> 00:05:08,010
And I was like... [GASPS] Oh, hell, yeah.
109
00:05:08,099 --> 00:05:11,308
You know what I mean?
It was like, Oh, yeah, yeah.
110
00:05:11,853 --> 00:05:13,343
That's the name for this group.
111
00:05:23,573 --> 00:05:25,510
[JIMMY IOVINE] Dre and I
were involved with Chrysler,
112
00:05:25,534 --> 00:05:30,028
and we have to tune the car to our specs, and
we wanna make sure that it sounds right.
113
00:05:30,121 --> 00:05:32,078
And Dre and I do it ourselves.

- Right.
- And where...

really in the '80s, right?

- [DR. DRE] Yeah.
- Yeah.

With probably eight sub-woofers
in a small room.

a sub-woofer till I met you.

We got somethin', we both know it

We don't talk too much about it
147
00:06:54,247 --> 00:06:56,534
I met Jimmy Lovine in '78.
148
00:06:57,000 --> 00:06:58,741
I had made two albums,
149
00:06:58,835 --> 00:07:00,576
but The Heartbreakers,
150
00:07:00,670 --> 00:07:03,879
we had not mastered the
studio by any means.
151
00:07:04,174 --> 00:07:07,838
And I had heard Patti Smith's
Bruce Springsteen song,
152
00:07:07,928 --> 00:07:10,636
and I'd really liked
the sound of the drums.
153
00:07:10,931 --> 00:07:14,390
So we flew this guy, Jimmy Lovine, to I.A.
154
00:07:14,476 --> 00:07:15,841
He'd never been to I.A.
155

[JIMMY] I remember landing in California.

It was 78 degrees and it was December.

00:07:25,362 --> 00:07:28,445
And I remember gettin' out of that car,
goin' to my room,

and goin' back to the doorman.
159
00:07:30,617 --> 00:07:33,405
And sayin',
Hey man, do regular people live out here?
160
00:07:34,537 --> 00:07:36,448
He said. What do you mean, regular people?
161
00:07:36,539 --> 00:07:37,539
I said, Regular people.
162
00:07:37,624 --> 00:07:40,366
You know, my dad's a longshoreman.

00:07:47,550 --> 00:07:49,757
You're in California.
It's the Pacific Ocean.
167
00:07:50,178 --> 00:07:51,839
I go back to my room, call my mother.
168
00:07:51,930 --> 00:07:54,342
I said, Mom. How did we get this wrong?
169
00:07:56,393 --> 00:07:59,556
[TOM] We rented him
a nice little house in the Valley.
170
00:08:00,230 --> 00:08:03,894
He calls the next day to say,
I'm too scared to stay in this house.
171
00:08:04,401 --> 00:08:05,419
And I thought, What do you mean?
172
00:08:05,443 --> 00:08:09,732
He goes, I hear stuff movin' outside,
and I never slept in a house before.
173
00:08:10,615 --> 00:08:13,482
I go, What? You never slept in a house?
174
00:08:13,576 --> 00:08:15,533
He goes, I've been in
apartments all my life.
175
00:08:15,620 --> 00:08:17,987
I'm from New York.
I never slept in the woods.
176
00:08:18,081 --> 00:08:20,823
And I'm like, Look,
you're not in the woods.
177
00:08:20,917 --> 00:08:23,329
You're in a neighborhood.
There's nothing there.

[SINGING] It's all right if you love me
180
00:08:31,636 --> 00:08:34,344
It's all right if you don't
181
00:08:35,640 --> 00:08:39,975
I'm not afraid of you running away, honey
182
00:08:40,061 --> 00:08:43,019
I get the feeling you won't
183
00:08:43,106 --> 00:08:44,517
[TOM] Next thing I know,
184
00:08:44,607 --> 00:08:48,521
he shows up at Shelter Records,
and he's got an engineer with him.
185
00:08:48,611 --> 00:08:51,694
And I'm going, Well, hey.
What's with him?
186
00:08:51,781 --> 00:08:53,442
[JIMMY] I said, He's the engineer.
187
00:08:53,533 --> 00:08:57,401
They said, I thought you were the
engineer. I said, No, I'm the producer.
188
00:08:57,495 --> 00:09:00,533
By the end of the day,
he had convinced me that
189
00:09:00,623 --> 00:09:04,116
he would be better
as a producer than an engineer.

It's all right
198
00:09:28,234 --> 00:09:32,228
[TOM] We sat down,
and I played him the songs I had.
199
00:09:32,322 --> 00:09:35,155
[JIMMY] He played me
Here Comes My Girl and Refugee.
200
00:09:35,241 --> 00:09:37,858
[TOM] And he got really excited.
[JIMMY] I just looked at him.
201
00:09:37,952 --> 00:09:41,035
I said, Get another eight songs quick,
'cause we're done.
202
00:09:41,122 --> 00:09:43,910
And he goes, We're gonna be millionaires.
You know?
203
00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:46,082
And I thought that was
the strangest comment
204
00:09:46,169 --> 00:09:49,332
I'd ever heard about music, you know?
205
00:09:49,547 --> 00:09:52,414
But when you're that
age, the sky's the limit.
206
00:09:53,676 --> 00:09:58,762
Jimmy became so obsessed
with getting the right take on that song.
207
00:09:58,848 --> 00:10:00,259
I'll bet we did over 100.
208
00:10:00,350 --> 00:10:03,030
- I think we should do one more.
- [JIMMY] We just were so connected.
209
00:10:03,061 --> 00:10:05,141
We would work 12 hours
and then talk for three hours.
210
00:10:05,188 --> 00:10:09,227
[TOM] We were thick as thieves,
and we had a plan to conquer the world.
211
00:10:09,734 --> 00:10:11,128
[TOM] [SINGING]
I was talking with a friend of mine
212
00:10:11,152 --> 00:10:13,268
Said a woman had hurt his pride
213
00:10:13,696 --> 00:10:17,280
Told him that she loved him so
And turned around and let him go
214
00:10:17,367 --> 00:10:22,953
[TOM] When they released that record,
Jimmy turned into a tornado of promotion.
215
00:10:23,039 --> 00:10:25,872
[JIMMY] I wanted to have
some influence in the marketing.
216
00:10:25,959 --> 00:10:29,327
'Cause when you finish the record,
you go play it for somebody
217
00:10:29,420 --> 00:10:31,820
and they just go,
That doesn't sound like your last record.
218
00:10:31,881 --> 00:10:32,942
And you're in there saying,
219
00:10:32,966 --> 00:10:34,860
Of course it doesn't sound
like the last record.
220
00:10:34,884 --> 00:10:36,612
It's not supposed
to sound like the last record.
221
00:10:36,636 --> 00:10:39,754
The whole concept is to
not sound like somebody else.
222
00:10:39,848 --> 00:10:42,681
Not like everything else.
223
00:10:42,767 --> 00:10:45,725
So I started saying,
I gotta get control of our destiny,
224
00:10:45,854 --> 00:10:46,872
or else we're handing these records
225
00:10:46,896 --> 00:10:49,979
to people that want us to sound
like what's on the radio.
226
00:10:50,066 --> 00:10:56,187
[TOM] He was really, really dedicated
and doing very well on that side of things-
227
00:10:56,281 --> 00:11:01,401
One thing about him is, he's always known
what people to be hanging with.
228
00:11:02,036 --> 00:11:06,906
And Stevie Nicks had shown up
and wanted to hang out.
229
00:11:07,458 --> 00:11:09,825
She had lots of people around,
230
00:11:09,919 --> 00:11:12,911
that, really, I couldn't figure out
what their jobs were,
231
00:11:13,006 --> 00:11:15,668
you know, and gypsy girls.
232
00:11:15,925 --> 00:11:18,417
And I was just kinda confused by it all.

[STEVIE] That's Bella Donna.
240
00:11:52,837 --> 00:11:55,499
When I first met Jimmy,
we went out to dinner,
241
00:11:55,590 --> 00:11:57,547
and about 10 days later,
242
00:11:57,634 --> 00:12:01,719
I moved into Jimmy's house
when Tom was finishing Damn the Torpedoes.
243
00:12:01,804 --> 00:12:03,090
But nobody knew.
244
00:12:03,181 --> 00:12:05,263
I mean, certainly Tom Petty didn't know.
245
00:12:05,350 --> 00:12:07,216
Jimmy didn't want Tom Petty to know,
246
00:12:07,310 --> 00:12:09,847
because he felt that Tom would feel like,
247
00:12:09,938 --> 00:12:13,431
Well, I guess your interest has been
slightly taken away from my record now.
248
00:12:13,816 --> 00:12:15,096
And for the next several months,
249
00:12:15,151 --> 00:12:17,813
I spent a lot of time
making English muffins
250
00:12:17,904 --> 00:12:20,942
with mozzarella cheese
and tomato in the broiler.
251
00:12:21,032 --> 00:12:24,150
That's what we lived on.
I was the mini baby pizza-maker.
252
00:12:24,369 --> 00:12:27,031
I liked him. And he totally liked me.
253
00:12:27,121 --> 00:12:29,158
[LAUGHING] I mean, we liked each other.
254
00:12:29,999 --> 00:12:33,663
[JIMMY] You know, I was an up-and-coming
record producer, and she was a big star.
255
00:12:33,753 --> 00:12:37,246
So Danny Goldberg, Paul Fishkin,
and Doug Morris
256
00:12:37,340 --> 00:12:41,083
asked me to produce Stevie 's first
solo album outside of Fleetwood Mac.
257
00:12:41,552 --> 00:12:44,419
[STEVIE] I wanted Jimmy,
because Jimmy produced Tom.
258
00:12:44,514 --> 00:12:46,050
Because I loved Tom's records.
259
00:12:46,140 --> 00:12:48,256
[JIMMY] We started hangin' out,
and it was fun.
260
00:12:48,351 --> 00:12:51,093
But Tom and I were
very, very close at that time,
261
00:12:51,187 --> 00:12:52,427
and it was really awkward.
262
00:12:52,522 --> 00:12:54,513
[STEVIE] Jimmy's, like, You don't know Tom.
263
00:12:54,607 --> 00:12:56,348
Tom doesn't know you.
264
00:12:56,442 --> 00:12:59,776
And when Tom comes over here,
you have to hide in the basement.
265
00:13:00,321 --> 00:13:02,733
So I did, because it was a nice basement,
266
00:13:02,824 --> 00:13:05,441
and actually it was a
whole Rock and Roll 101
267
00:13:05,535 --> 00:13:07,867
outside of Fleetwood Mac for me
when Tom would come over.
268
00:13:07,954 --> 00:13:09,714
And of course, I would
be, like, you know...
269
00:13:12,709 --> 00:13:14,120
[JIMMY] I want to say one thing.
270
00:13:14,210 --> 00:13:16,952
If we were to make an alteration
of some sort, if we say,
271
00:13:17,046 --> 00:13:19,024
Hey, you know, this is not right,
it's not exactly right,
272
00:13:19,048 --> 00:13:21,585
it does not mean,
okay, panic city time, Needle Park.
273
00:13:21,718 --> 00:13:23,612
- We're tryin' to get it right, Jim, for you...
- I know.
274
00:13:23,636 --> 00:13:24,697
- Stevie.
- And so we can't...
275
00:13:24,721 --> 00:13:25,864
Intentions are right.
All I'm tryin' to say...
276
00:13:25,888 --> 00:13:27,241
We can't, you know, do it without talking.
277
00:13:27,265 --> 00:13:29,802
Stevie, again... Again, Stevie,
this is what I'm talkin' about.
278
00:13:29,892 --> 00:13:32,304
Every time I say somethin',
it's like a lawyer.
279
00:13:32,395 --> 00:13:33,872
- It's like a group of lawyers.
- Okay, I'm sorry.
280
00:13:33,896 --> 00:13:35,776
- It's just completely unnecessary.
- All right.
281
00:13:36,065 --> 00:13:37,960
I don't feel
we should try a different high part.
282
00:13:37,984 --> 00:13:40,601
Stevie, that's not the point.
But you don't have to be a lawyer.
283
00:13:40,695 --> 00:13:41,730
Okay.
284
00:13:42,071 --> 00:13:43,277
You know? Okay.
285
00:13:44,032 --> 00:13:45,067
Come on, let's go.
286
00:13:48,077 --> 00:13:52,321
[STEVIE] Jimmy and I would get
in a lot of arguments about music.
287
00:13:52,415 --> 00:13:55,157
About what I wanted
and what he thought I wanted.
288
00:13:55,251 --> 00:13:57,242
For instance, the single.
289
00:13:57,462 --> 00:14:02,081
They didn't have a single
that was gonna break the album.
290
00:14:02,383 --> 00:14:06,047
And she started
coming by the sessions quite a bit,
291
00:14:06,137 --> 00:14:07,878
and she was right up front.
292
00:14:07,972 --> 00:14:09,929
She goes,
I want you to write a song for me.
293
00:14:10,683 --> 00:14:15,678
And I said,
Well, I'd like to write a song for me.
294
00:14:15,772 --> 00:14:18,685
You know, I'm... It's not that easy.
295
00:14:19,108 --> 00:14:22,692
So we had this record going, Hard Promises.
296
00:14:23,029 --> 00:14:24,940
And I'd written a lot of songs for it,
297
00:14:26,074 --> 00:14:29,908
one of which was
Stop Draggin' My Heart Around.
298
00:14:30,328 --> 00:14:35,198
And I didn't see
Stop Draggin' My Heart Around as a single.
299
00:14:35,375 --> 00:14:36,740
I kind of put it on the shelf.
300
00:14:36,834 --> 00:14:39,371
[JIMMY] It sounded like a blues record
when he did it.
301
00:14:39,462 --> 00:14:45,003
And I heard it like a big pop record
with a girl sin gin ' it.
302
00:14:45,385 --> 00:14:47,126
[STEVIE] Jimmy says, If I were you,
303
00:14:47,220 --> 00:14:51,214
I would take this amazing gift
from Tom Petty
304
00:14:51,307 --> 00:14:52,968
and put it on your damn album.
305
00:14:53,059 --> 00:14:55,721
Because you don't have a single.
306
00:14:55,978 --> 00:14:59,767
[JIMMY] And you're coming out of a group
that has nothing but hit records.
307
00:14:59,857 --> 00:15:02,019
So you're gonna come out
with this beautiful record
308
00:15:02,110 --> 00:15:06,650
all with lace and veils
and candles all over it.
309
00:15:07,323 --> 00:15:09,439
And no one's gonna hear it.
310
00:15:12,954 --> 00:15:17,869
[TOM] Next thing I know, he rolls in and says,
Hey, I got somethin' I gotta play you.
311
00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:21,038
And he plays me
Stop Draggin' My Heart Around.
312
00:15:21,129 --> 00:15:22,836
The same track,
313
00:15:24,298 --> 00:15:25,663
with her singing.
314
00:15:25,758 --> 00:15:28,090
Jimmy, you just took the song and...
315
00:15:28,177 --> 00:15:30,714
I said, Tom,
let's do the same thing I did with Bruce.
316
00:15:30,805 --> 00:15:33,593
It had worked once.
Why wouldn't it work again?
317
00:15:33,683 --> 00:15:35,924
[STEVIE] He knew that
Stop Draggin' My Heart Around
318
00:15:36,018 --> 00:15:37,679
was a stone-cold hit.
319
00:15:38,187 --> 00:15:40,679
And even more of a stone-cold hit
320
00:15:40,773 --> 00:15:43,231
with Tom Petty and Stevie Nicks
singing it together.
321
00:15:43,317 --> 00:15:47,311
His comeback was, like,
Hey, this is gonna buy you a house.
322
00:15:47,780 --> 00:15:50,192
[LAUGHING] And I'm, like, Okay.
323
00:15:51,200 --> 00:15:55,444
But it pissed me off,
because it became a huge hit.
324
00:15:55,538 --> 00:15:57,324
[JIMMY] It blows up with him on it.
325
00:15:57,415 --> 00:16:00,658
When his single comes out, it wasn't
a big a hit as it should have been.
326
00:16:00,751 --> 00:16:02,708
[TOM] They came out at the same time,
327
00:16:02,795 --> 00:16:05,378

to have his back.

And my relationship with Tom was affected,

way because how I handled it was wrong.

00:24:39,311 --> 00:24:44,556
So when it was time to do the N. W.A. record
and we was thinkin' of all these ideas,
494
00:24:45,192 --> 00:24:47,024
I waited till everybody was in the room.
495
00:24:47,111 --> 00:24:49,381
And I was, like, Man,
I got a record called Fuck Tha Police.
496
00:24:49,405 --> 00:24:51,487
- [LAUGHING]
- D.O.C. went crazy.

00:24:53,826 --> 00:24:55,487

00:24:59,748 --> 00:25:03,161
Wow. We really gonna
talk about the police like that?
502
00:25:03,252 --> 00:25:05,414
I knew we had something
that was gonna be dangerous.
503
00:25:05,671 --> 00:25:08,709
I knew we had somethin' that we
could potentially get in trouble for.
504
00:25:09,383 --> 00:25:11,624
Something the group
was really excited about
505
00:25:11,719 --> 00:25:13,405
and proud of because of the way it sounded.
506
00:25:13,429 --> 00:25:15,670
I mean, we did
the whole court thing at the beginnin'.
507
00:25:15,764 --> 00:25:19,849
I played the judge, and D.O.C.
was playin' the lawyer on the record.

545
00:27:04,498 --> 00:27:07,490
There was no precedent
to the FBI sending a letter,

Please stop singing these records.
547
00:27:11,880 --> 00:27:14,372
When that came through,
the news was all over that.
548
00:27:14,716 --> 00:27:19,461
Then of course, with media and controversy,
it all just worked to sell more records.
549
00:27:19,555 --> 00:27:23,139
Because N.W.A., they were like,
No, we're gonna go right back at that.

Eazy was clearly a marketing genius.

He had a great sense
for what buttons to push

00:27:30,607 --> 00:27:33,065
to create controversy at different levels.
554
00:27:34,236 --> 00:27:38,355
[ICE CUBE] It became political once
these forces started comin' against us.

It let us know that,
We're more than a group.

We're a political statement.
557

It just knocked us into that position.

[YELLA] I remember bein' on tour
somewhere in the middle of nowhere.

We were asleep, and the bus was stopped.

And I hear crying '.

00:28:15,694 --> 00:28:18,652
And I go to the back of the bus,
and it was Dre.
562
00:28:20,574 --> 00:28:24,283

and it was about my brother, Tyree.
563
00:28:27,706 --> 00:28:32,451
[VERNA] Andre was his idol, and I think
he wanted to be like his big brother.

But I don't think Dre
was gonna let him come.

And this big guy, they said he came from
nowhere out of the back seat or somethin'

00:29:00,989 --> 00:29:03,105
and grabbed Tyree and slammed him.

[BONO] And then Jimmy just chased us
around the world
825
00:43:02,747 --> 00:43:04,587
until we agreed to go
into the studio with him.
826
00:43:04,665 --> 00:43:06,747
He would not take no for an answer.
827
00:43:06,834 --> 00:43:09,952
So we did Under a Blood Red Sky.
It was a live album.
828
00:43:10,213 --> 00:43:13,126
And we went to New York to do the mixing.
829
00:43:13,633 --> 00:43:14,943
And he showed us around New York.
830
00:43:14,967 --> 00:43:18,756
And that's where we really understood
the Italian aspect of him.
831
00:43:18,846 --> 00:43:20,428
Family. The food.
832
00:43:20,515 --> 00:43:24,509
You know, that's when we realized
that, really, Irish people are Italians.
833
00:43:24,602 --> 00:43:26,263
It's just we don't eat as well,
834
00:43:26,354 --> 00:43:28,721
we don't dress as well,
we don't play soccer as well.

Hey Sonya 's coming 'round

00:43:52,797 --> 00:43:55,880
She's gonna blow your house down
842
00:43:56,217 --> 00:43:58,879
See, but you guys are stopping.
843
00:43:59,345 --> 00:44:01,256
And underneath your stop,
844
00:44:01,556 --> 00:44:05,470
Larry is coming in on the tom-tom,
on the bass drum,
845
00:44:05,643 --> 00:44:08,226
starts playing it again,
so it never really stops.
846
00:44:08,896 --> 00:44:09,977
I think that could work.
847
00:44:10,064 --> 00:44:11,554
[BONO] A great idea
848
00:44:11,649 --> 00:44:14,016
has a lot in common with a great melody,
849
00:44:14,110 --> 00:44:16,568
and Jimmy's gift is the clear thought.
850
00:44:17,780 --> 00:44:21,819
But also outside of music, in the room,
the clear thought.
851
00:44:21,909 --> 00:44:25,573
When others hear harmony or counterpoint,
he hears the clear melody.
852
00:44:25,830 --> 00:44:27,662
So he applies that wherever he is.
853
00:44:27,748 --> 00:44:30,581
Why don't you sing
what you sang me when I first got here?
854
00:44:30,710 --> 00:44:32,200
- Er...
- Do you remember it?
855
00:44:33,379 --> 00:44:34,915
Yeah, well, that was more like...
856
00:44:35,006 --> 00:44:36,400
It was a little different than that.
857
00:44:36,424 --> 00:44:37,664
It was a little more to it.
858
00:44:37,758 --> 00:44:39,419
- It had...
- It was more like a, er...
859
00:44:39,719 --> 00:44:40,880
Lyrical idea.
860
00:44:41,304 --> 00:44:42,886
It sounded really good.
861
00:44:43,764 --> 00:44:45,095
[JIMMY] Bono and I hit it off.

I'm Eazy-E's personal manager.
871
00:45:15,796 --> 00:45:18,914
And it might be oversimplifying by saying
872
00:45:19,008 --> 00:45:21,295
that I financialize his dreams.

00:45:21,802 --> 00:45:24,043

of us making some real money,

[YELLA] That was the first time
we ever had contracts.
891
00:46:16,190 --> 00:46:18,557
But Cube wanted somebody
to look at the paperwork.

00:46:18,651 --> 00:46:20,016
I still got me a little Jeep.

00:46:29,161 --> 00:46:32,574
I don't like the manager,
because he wasn't paying me my money.
897
00:46:32,832 --> 00:46:33,867
That's the bottom line.
898
00:46:33,958 --> 00:46:37,076
Bottom line. That's it. No more N.W.A.

00:46:47,388 --> 00:46:50,597
[DR. DRE] I got Cube on the phone.
He felt he was getting fucked,
902
00:46:50,683 --> 00:46:55,018
and Jerry was the reason for it,
and Eazy was condoning it.
903
00:46:55,104 --> 00:46:56,265
He was talking to me about...
904
00:46:56,355 --> 00:46:59,017
Dre, you gotta take a look
at your financials, dude.
905
00:46:59,108 --> 00:47:01,145
[DR. DRE] And then
Suge Knight enters the building.
906
00:47:01,235 --> 00:47:03,272
D.O.C. introduced me to him.
907
00:47:03,529 --> 00:47:04,815
[D.O.C.] Suge was my guy.
908
00:47:04,989 --> 00:47:07,572
Big-ass dude. Super friendly.
909
00:47:07,908 --> 00:47:11,321
And Suge says, Let me take you
to this guy. He can help us out.
910
00:47:11,412 --> 00:47:15,155
[DR. DRE] So Suge took my contracts
to a guy named Dick Griffey.
911
00:47:15,333 --> 00:47:18,246
He started telling me I should be getting
this amount of money
912
00:47:18,336 --> 00:47:20,327
and this amount of points for each record.
913
00:47:20,421 --> 00:47:21,832
And you're only getting this.
914
00:47:21,922 --> 00:47:23,504
So I'm, like, Okay.
915
00:47:23,799 --> 00:47:25,210
Went back to the studio
916
00:47:25,509 --> 00:47:29,252
not knowing if Eazy knows
about this shit or not.
917
00:47:29,847 --> 00:47:31,804
And Eazy is just going crazy.
918

[SHOUTING INDISTINCTLY]
920
00:47:35,936 --> 00:47:37,973
[DR. DRE] Up until then,
everything that we had done
921
00:47:38,064 --> 00:47:39,680
was like the ultimate brotherhood,
922
00:47:39,815 --> 00:47:41,476
at least from my perspective.
923
00:47:42,109 --> 00:47:45,227
And all of a sudden
it just turned into business.
924
00:47:45,321 --> 00:47:47,028
It turned into pressure.
925
00:47:47,239 --> 00:47:48,675
[REN] You know,
there was a lot of distractions,
926
00:47:48,699 --> 00:47:51,737
but to me, Dre had always
seemed driven in the studio.
927
00:47:51,827 --> 00:47:54,444
Had people coming
in playing bass and instruments,
928
00:47:54,538 --> 00:47:56,700
so it was a lot more funk to it.
929
00:47:56,791 --> 00:48:02,377
I'm trying to prove myself as an engineer,
as an artist, as a producer, without Cube.
930
00:48:02,713 --> 00:48:05,831
For me, it all became just a point to make.
931
00:48:05,925 --> 00:48:09,168
[D.O.C.] Cube was, I'd like to say,
the spirit of N. W.A.
932
00:48:09,261 --> 00:48:13,971
His anti-establishment feel
drove that early sound.
933
00:48:14,058 --> 00:48:15,924
[DR. DRE] And Cube's our lead guy.
934
00:48:16,018 --> 00:48:18,601
He's gone, so I'm hearing different shit
around the streets.
935
00:48:18,687 --> 00:48:21,725
N.W.A. is nothing. They're gone.
936
00:48:21,816 --> 00:48:23,496
That started touching my ego a little bit.

[DR. DRE] Ah, Cube in y'all ass, man.
What the fuck y'all gonna do?
940
00:48:36,080 --> 00:48:40,825
[DEE] Pump It Up was a nationally
syndicated music video show.
941
00:48:41,085 --> 00:48:45,329
I was a fan of the music,
so I wanted to present that to other fans.
942
00:48:45,423 --> 00:48:49,257
Let's see if success and money
has changed the meanest men in rap.
943
00:48:49,343 --> 00:48:52,927
They agreed to do this interview for me,
because it was Dee, their home girl.
944
00:48:53,347 --> 00:48:56,931
And the interview I wound up doing
with N.W.A., awkward.
945
00:48:57,017 --> 00:49:00,305
Excuse me. Hi. ls Eazy-E here, N.W.A.?

00:49:00,980 --> 00:49:02,971

00:49:03,357 --> 00:49:04,392

948
00:49:04,483 --> 00:49:06,690
- Everybody knows this is Eazy-E.
- Yo.

00:49:06,777 --> 00:49:07,777
Dr. Dre.
950
00:49:08,654 --> 00:49:12,943
From the very moment it started,
the energy was bad.
951
00:49:13,033 --> 00:49:15,775
Wow, it's too quiet. Y'all gotta wake up.
Come on, y'all.
952
00:49:15,870 --> 00:49:20,785
And it seemed like with every question, they
found a way to get verbal jabs at Cube.
953
00:49:20,875 --> 00:49:22,635
Do you guys still
communicate with him or...
954
00:49:22,710 --> 00:49:25,498
Only time we communicate
is when they have little run-ins, you know.
955
00:49:25,588 --> 00:49:28,250
So the interview's done,
and it hadn't aired yet.
956
00:49:28,591 --> 00:49:31,959
Next thing I know, my producer
wanted to film Ice Cube's rebuttal
957
00:49:32,052 --> 00:49:35,010
and put it in the show with N. W.A.
958
00:49:35,097 --> 00:49:37,930

[NORMAL VOICE] Y'all can't play.
962
00:49:45,566 --> 00:49:48,024
That was their mentality. Sensationalism.

00:49:48,110 --> 00:49:51,899
Sista Dee, always in the middle
of controversy right here on Pump It Up.
964
00:49:51,989 --> 00:49:55,072
I was 22 at the time. I'm not Oprah.
965
00:49:56,243 --> 00:49:59,611
I didn't know that there's still more
internal struggles in the group.
966
00:49:59,705 --> 00:50:02,993
Not even after Cube left.
I just figured, Okay, ego.
967
00:50:03,250 --> 00:50:07,790
But out of the four remaining, I was like,
Hmm. Whose ego is gonna be next?
968
00:50:08,589 --> 00:50:10,330
[DR. DRE] The ego was a motherfucker.
969
00:50:10,424 --> 00:50:14,668
It's almost like the little pilot light,
and fame is the gasoline.
970
00:50:14,970 --> 00:50:17,007
And once gasoline gets poured on that ego,
971
00:50:17,097 --> 00:50:20,431
you never know
if the pilot light is gonna go out
972
00:50:20,518 --> 00:50:23,556
or if it's gonna turn
into a motherfucking bonfire or some shit
973
00:50:23,646 --> 00:50:24,932
that nobody can control.
974
00:50:28,776 --> 00:50:31,768
[REN] I remember us being in the studio
975
00:50:31,904 --> 00:50:34,987
and Dre was trying
to talk to E about the money.
976
00:50:35,282 --> 00:50:37,819
And E would always be,
like, Talk to Jerry.
977
00:50:38,494 --> 00:50:39,763
And Dre don't want to talk to Jerry.
978
00:50:39,787 --> 00:50:43,075
I said, Listen, man. Fuck all of this
going back and forth shit, man.
979
00:50:43,165 --> 00:50:44,872
Either Jerry goes or I go.
980
00:50:45,584 --> 00:50:48,417
And he looked me in my face and said,
I can't get rid of Jerry.
981
00:50:50,798 --> 00:50:53,961
That was the end of me
and Eazy-E's relationship.
982
00:50:56,303 --> 00:50:59,091
[REN] He had to really trust Jerry
to get rid of Dre.
983
00:50:59,431 --> 00:51:01,968
Because Dre was the main ingredient.
984
00:51:03,310 --> 00:51:05,017
The feeling I had at that moment
985
00:51:08,315 --> 00:51:09,315
was, um...
986
00:51:13,654 --> 00:51:15,691
Similar to losing a brother.
987
00:51:16,574 --> 00:51:18,611
Seriously broke my heart.
988
00:51:19,368 --> 00:51:24,579
All I remember is walking out of the studio
and everything just being a blur.
989
00:51:24,707 --> 00:51:27,244
Like a slow-motion walk to that car.
990
00:51:28,252 --> 00:51:31,665
There was so many things
going on, and all the loss.
991
00:51:32,590 --> 00:51:34,627
It was a terrible space for me at the time.
992
00:51:34,717 --> 00:51:36,378
And I guess, you know,
993
00:51:37,261 --> 00:51:40,504
a lot of people have their ways of dealing
with things of that nature.
994
00:51:40,764 --> 00:51:42,254
I turned to alcohol.
995
00:51:45,019 --> 00:51:46,997
[DEE] So it was the night
before the American Music Awards.
996
00:51:47,021 --> 00:51:49,479
And it was a Def Jam party.
997
00:51:49,898 --> 00:51:51,138
I spotted Dre.
998
00:51:51,233 --> 00:51:52,439
He was drunk.
999
00:51:52,526 --> 00:51:56,019
And I think he looked my way,
but he didn't smile.
1000
00:51:56,363 --> 00:51:58,900
And it looked like
he wasn't gonna speak to me at all.
1001
00:51:59,450 --> 00:52:01,282
And the next thing I know,
he snatched me up.
1002
00:52:01,368 --> 00:52:04,486
When I say he snatched me up,
my feet were off the ground.
1003
00:52:04,580 --> 00:52:05,741
I was like, Shit.
1004
00:52:05,831 --> 00:52:09,199
You know, like the strength and the rage.
1005
00:52:10,044 --> 00:52:14,413
And, uh, you know,
everybody knows the story from there.
1006
00:52:14,923 --> 00:52:18,962
In Los Angeles, Dee Barnes,
host of the Fox TV rap show Pump It Up,
1007
00:52:19,386 --> 00:52:24,131
is filing a civil suit against Dr. Dre and
claims that last January at an I.A. club,
1008
00:52:24,391 --> 00:52:26,632
Dre assaulted her, grabbing her hair,
1009
00:52:26,727 --> 00:52:30,265
slamming her face and body into a wall,
and kicking her in the ribs.
1010
00:52:30,564 --> 00:52:33,022
Barnes' attorneys say that Dre
was apparently upset
1011
00:52:33,108 --> 00:52:34,473
that one of Barnes' producers
1012
00:52:34,568 --> 00:52:37,731
inserted her interview
with ex-N. W.A. member Ice Cube
1013
00:52:37,863 --> 00:52:41,151
into a Pump It Up show
last winter featuring N. W.A.
1014
00:52:41,408 --> 00:52:44,150
N. W.A. 's independent
publicist says, quote,
1015
00:52:44,244 --> 00:52:48,363
I know Dr. Dre as a gentle soul,
the loving father of a baby boy.
1016
00:52:48,582 --> 00:52:50,914
[DR. DRE] I don't think
I was out of touch with reality,
1017
00:52:51,001 --> 00:52:53,083
but I was Dr. Dre,
1018
00:52:53,170 --> 00:52:56,458
and this was a very low point in my life.
1019
00:52:56,757 --> 00:52:57,838
And, uh...
1020
00:52:58,842 --> 00:53:02,551
I've done a lot of stupid shit in my life.
1021
00:53:02,971 --> 00:53:05,759
A lot of things
that I wish I can go and take back.
1022
00:53:10,020 --> 00:53:11,351
I've experienced abuse.
1023
00:53:11,438 --> 00:53:16,183
I've watched my mother get abused,
you know?
1024
00:53:16,276 --> 00:53:19,564
So it's like,
there's absolutely no excuse for it.
1025
00:53:20,406 --> 00:53:22,317
No woman should ever be treated that way.
1026
00:53:23,325 --> 00:53:27,569
Any man that puts his hands
on a female is a fucking idiot.
1027
00:53:27,663 --> 00:53:29,279
He's out of his fucking mind,
1028
00:53:29,373 --> 00:53:32,832
and I was out of my
fucking mind at the time.
1029
00:53:33,293 --> 00:53:34,293
I fucked up.
1030
00:53:34,670 --> 00:53:36,536
I paid for it. I'm sorry for it.
1031
00:53:36,755 --> 00:53:38,712
And I apologized for it.
1032
00:53:41,635 --> 00:53:43,672
I have this dark cloud that follows me.
1033
00:53:44,263 --> 00:53:46,800
And it's gonna be attached to me forever.
1034
00:53:47,141 --> 00:53:50,850
It's a major blemish on who I am as a man.
1035
00:53:51,603 --> 00:53:54,971
And every time it comes up,
it just makes me feel fucked up.
1036
00:53:55,357 --> 00:53:57,473
So it's just like, what do I do?
1037
00:53:57,776 --> 00:53:59,562
What do I do to get rid of this dark cloud?
1038
00:53:59,903 --> 00:54:01,610
I don't know what else to do.
1039
00:54:02,489 --> 00:54:03,650
I'm learning.
1040
00:54:04,616 --> 00:54:07,483
I'm trying to become a better person
and become a better man.
1041
00:54:09,496 --> 00:54:11,988
From a personal standpoint,
1042
00:54:12,249 --> 00:54:15,367
I feel like I've handled it well.
1043
00:54:16,170 --> 00:54:18,127
I had to stand up
1044
00:54:18,213 --> 00:54:21,251
just because I would probably
never forgive myself if I didn't.
1045
00:54:21,383 --> 00:54:24,216
[REPORTER] Dee Barnes's civil suit
charges him with assault and battery,
1046
00:54:24,303 --> 00:54:26,795
inflicting emotional distress,
and defamation.
1047
00:54:26,889 --> 00:54:29,972
Barnes seeks damages over $10 million.
1048
00:54:30,517 --> 00:54:34,761
I called the police on
Mr. Fuck tha police.
1049
00:54:36,190 --> 00:54:40,024
But little by little,
the work started drying up.
1050
00:54:40,360 --> 00:54:43,273
It was as if I had ruined his career
1051
00:54:43,363 --> 00:54:46,651
by being that disturbing footnote
in his legacy.
1052
00:54:48,368 --> 00:54:52,783
But I went through the
anger and the dismay,
1053
00:54:52,873 --> 00:54:55,535
and, you know, I worked those things out
1054
00:54:56,210 --> 00:54:58,372
to where I got to a place of peace.
1055
00:54:58,462 --> 00:55:00,169
Forgiveness is about...
1056
00:55:00,255 --> 00:55:01,916
It's not really about the other person.
1057
00:55:02,007 --> 00:55:04,214
Forgiveness is about... For you.
1058
00:55:04,301 --> 00:55:05,416
You do it for yourself,
1059
00:55:05,511 --> 00:55:07,431
because what're you gonna do
with all that anger?
1060
00:55:11,308 --> 00:55:12,423
Hmm.
1061
00:55:14,228 --> 00:55:15,434
[DR. DRE] In the end,
1062
00:55:15,979 --> 00:55:20,348
I've hurt people that I care about
and for that, I'm really sorry.
1063
00:55:24,404 --> 00:55:28,693
[JIMMY] In 1984, I went with my father
to his father's funeral.
1064
00:55:28,784 --> 00:55:31,025
And the next morning, I went back to I.A.
1065
00:55:31,119 --> 00:55:34,453
and I get a phone call from my sister
that my dad had a heart attack.
1066
00:55:34,623 --> 00:55:36,239
So I rushed back to New York,
1067
00:55:36,625 --> 00:55:40,414
and about six weeks later, his mother died.
1068
00:55:42,256 --> 00:55:45,590
And then two days after that,
or something like that, he died.
1069
00:55:46,218 --> 00:55:47,708
And at one moment,
1070
00:55:48,095 --> 00:55:51,679
he, his mother and his father
all died within six weeks.
1071
00:55:52,182 --> 00:55:55,300
And it was easily the worst day of my life.
1072
00:55:55,435 --> 00:55:57,346
It is still the worst day of my life.
1073
00:55:58,021 --> 00:55:59,261
We were very, very close.
1074
00:55:59,356 --> 00:56:01,063
I had no idea he was gonna die.
1075
00:56:01,608 --> 00:56:03,895
He was my best friend in the whole world.
1076
00:56:04,444 --> 00:56:06,776
I think he still is my best friend
in the whole world.
1077
00:56:10,909 --> 00:56:13,901
[JANET] We were very,
very much in mourning, all of us.
1078
00:56:14,079 --> 00:56:15,945
This man of 63 years old,
1079
00:56:16,164 --> 00:56:19,873
this firecracker, you know,
was just erased, you know.
1080
00:56:20,377 --> 00:56:23,915
So Jimmy and Vicki
decided just to get married.
1081
00:56:24,006 --> 00:56:26,373
My father died in January, and Vicki said,
1082
00:56:26,633 --> 00:56:29,546
With your father gone, it will
never be a good time to get married.
1083
00:56:29,636 --> 00:56:30,717
Let's just do it.
1084
00:56:30,804 --> 00:56:32,215
And she was incredible.
1085
00:56:32,306 --> 00:56:33,888
I mean, if he didn't have her there,
1086
00:56:33,974 --> 00:56:37,036
you know, with him when my father died,
I don't know what would have happened.
1087
00:56:37,060 --> 00:56:39,597
Because it was so devastating to him.
1088
00:56:39,730 --> 00:56:41,971
I'm sitting on the floor
of my sister's house.
1089
00:56:44,776 --> 00:56:47,564
And I said, I don't know
how I'm gonna get through this.
1090
00:56:47,654 --> 00:56:49,144
I just don't know.
1091
00:56:50,032 --> 00:56:51,272
So I thought, I know.
1092
00:56:51,366 --> 00:56:54,404
My dad loved that I was in music, you know?
1093
00:56:54,494 --> 00:56:56,155
And he loved Christmas.
1094
00:56:56,330 --> 00:56:59,823
I said, I'm gonna make a Christmas album
and dedicate it to him
1095
00:57:00,000 --> 00:57:01,707
and give all the money to charity.
1096
00:57:01,793 --> 00:57:03,784
Get money out of the equation.
1097
00:57:04,129 --> 00:57:05,711
Let's use all of our friends.
1098
00:57:05,923 --> 00:57:07,834
Let's do something really powerful.
1099
00:57:08,842 --> 00:57:12,460
And it sold so many copies
that over the years,
1100
00:57:12,554 --> 00:57:16,013
we gave Special Olympics $100 million.
1101
00:57:18,352 --> 00:57:21,936
And to do that for my dad
was just everything to me.
1102
00:57:22,022 --> 00:57:23,933
And it really helped me move on.
1103
00:57:28,362 --> 00:57:31,070
[TOM] Though he continued
to produce records,
1104
00:57:31,156 --> 00:57:36,526
he was getting more and more involved
in business.
1105
00:57:36,620 --> 00:57:40,705
And I felt like that was overtaking
the artistic side of him.
1106
00:57:41,833 --> 00:57:43,323
So like, he did Graham Parker,
1107
00:57:43,418 --> 00:57:45,534
and the guys in his band would tell me,
1108
00:57:45,629 --> 00:57:50,544
Look, when we went to the studio, he
never did anything but talk on the phone.
1109
00:57:50,759 --> 00:57:52,341
And I'm not surprised by that,
1110
00:57:52,427 --> 00:57:58,594
because more than one time
I took the scissors and just cut his line.
1111
00:57:58,684 --> 00:58:01,221
You know, I just...
[IMITATES SNIPPING] Cut it.
1112
00:58:01,937 --> 00:58:04,554
Music, you know, we're doing music.
1113
00:58:06,108 --> 00:58:07,644
[INTERVIEWER CLEARS THROAT]
1114
00:58:07,734 --> 00:58:10,396
- Jimmy, you got water over there?
- Yeah, I'm cool.
1115
00:58:12,990 --> 00:58:15,527
[STEVIE] And see, that was very hard
for any of us to understand.
1116
00:58:15,617 --> 00:58:18,029
How could you possibly be
such a great music producer
1117
00:58:18,120 --> 00:58:22,580
and actually want to be in an office
with a desk and a phone?
1118
00:58:25,127 --> 00:58:28,870
[JIMMY] I don't know. I don't look
as producing as like this big thing.
1119
00:58:28,964 --> 00:58:30,580
You know, I really consider it a job.
1120
00:58:30,674 --> 00:58:33,962
I don't consider it
any kind of great achievement.
1121
00:58:34,094 --> 00:58:35,630
I really don't. I never did.
1122
00:58:35,887 --> 00:58:37,628
I'm there to help a guy make a record.
1123
00:58:37,764 --> 00:58:38,764
And, er...
1124
00:58:39,850 --> 00:58:41,786
Anybody wants to work with me,
I think it's a gas.
1125
00:58:41,810 --> 00:58:43,871
Sometimes I can't believe
they want to work with me, you know?
1126
00:58:43,895 --> 00:58:45,636
But I just think it's really cool.
1127
00:58:45,897 --> 00:58:47,917
But, I don't know.
Anybody that tells you that, you know,
1128
00:58:47,941 --> 00:58:49,682
I... I... I... I did this and I did that,
1129
00:58:49,776 --> 00:58:52,017
they're full of shit,
because it doesn't exist.
1130
00:58:52,112 --> 00:58:55,730
Ninety-nine percent of what's going on
is the artist in the studio.
1131
00:58:57,451 --> 00:58:58,531
I gotta tell you something.
1132
00:58:58,577 --> 00:59:01,660
I wished that I was someone who said,
Wow. I'm doing this.
1133
00:59:01,747 --> 00:59:04,535
You know?
It would been a lot more fun for me.
1134
00:59:04,624 --> 00:59:06,911
But I was focused and miserable.
1135
00:59:07,002 --> 00:59:09,494
I was working 24 hours a day.
1136
00:59:09,671 --> 00:59:12,003
I never did anything other than work.
1137
00:59:12,090 --> 00:59:14,331
I didn't want to do
anything other than work.
1138
00:59:14,426 --> 00:59:17,168
I didn't feel as natural
as I felt in the '70s.
1139
00:59:17,262 --> 00:59:20,220
When I'd walk into a room,
I knew exactly what to do.
1140
00:59:20,307 --> 00:59:23,015
Now all of a sudden,
I was feeling off-balance.
1141
00:59:23,727 --> 00:59:25,968
[BONO] What, you ran out of tape there,
did you, Jimmy?
1142
00:59:26,104 --> 00:59:30,063
[JIMMY] Yeah, we want you to have
30 seconds of that last ending.
1143
00:59:30,150 --> 00:59:32,733
That's why when I came out here,
we started again.
1144
00:59:32,819 --> 00:59:34,560
- [BONO] Okay.
- I think we can just fix it.
1145
00:59:34,654 --> 00:59:36,986
Okay. We got one more
and we call it a day on this song.
1146
00:59:37,074 --> 00:59:38,155
[JIMMY] Okay.
1147
00:59:38,492 --> 00:59:41,655
[BONO] I think Rattle and Hum
was Jimmy's last stand.
1148
00:59:42,287 --> 00:59:43,493
I think we broke him.
1149
00:59:43,580 --> 00:59:46,789
[JIMMY] We did two albums and a movie.
1150
00:59:46,875 --> 00:59:49,492
And we went on the road
and recorded 18 shows.
1151
00:59:49,586 --> 00:59:51,918
And those guys,
they worked like Springsteen.
1152
00:59:52,005 --> 00:59:53,086
They just go-
1153
00:59:53,173 --> 00:59:55,756
[BONO] There was a song on Rattle and Hum
called Hawkmoon.
1154
00:59:55,842 --> 00:59:58,709
And we did 269 takes.
1155
00:59:58,804 --> 01:00:00,761
We actually wore the tape out.
1156
01:00:00,847 --> 01:00:04,340
That's never happened.
We wore out the tape.
1157
01:00:04,601 --> 01:00:05,932
And he's like...
1158
01:00:06,019 --> 01:00:07,726
[MUSIC PLAYING]
1159
01:00:24,371 --> 01:00:26,157
[BONO] It's hard to be around artists.
1160
01:00:26,498 --> 01:00:28,580
You can only do it for
a certain amount of time.
1161
01:00:28,792 --> 01:00:32,456
And U2 can be very, very wearing.
1162
01:00:33,046 --> 01:00:35,162
We're just... We just go too far.
1163
01:00:35,465 --> 01:00:39,208
[JIMMY] At that moment,
I just needed to stop.
1164
01:00:39,511 --> 01:00:42,799
I didn't want to see a studio. I was done.
1165
01:00:43,098 --> 01:00:45,385
[SINGING] I wanna run
1166
01:00:46,726 --> 01:00:49,639
I want to hide
1167
01:00:50,480 --> 01:00:54,439
I wanna tear down the walls
1168
01:00:54,609 --> 01:00:57,727
That hold me inside
1169
01:00:58,155 --> 01:01:01,238
I wanna reach out
1170
01:01:01,908 --> 01:01:04,900
And touch the flame
1171
01:01:06,246 --> 01:01:09,705
Where the streets have no name
1172
01:01:10,750 --> 01:01:12,832
Oh, oh
1173
01:01:12,919 --> 01:01:16,332
Where the streets have no name
1174
01:01:16,715 --> 01:01:20,208
Where the streets have no name
1175
01:01:20,760 --> 01:01:25,345
We're beaten and blown by the wind
1176
01:01:25,807 --> 01:01:28,549
Blown by the wind
1177
01:01:28,643 --> 01:01:31,886
But when I go there
1178
01:01:32,439 --> 01:01:35,272
I go there with you
1179
01:01:36,234 --> 01:01:39,101
It's all I can do
1180
01:01:39,196 --> 01:01:41,187
- [MUSIC CONTINUES]
- [CROWD CHEERING]
1181
01:01:45,827 --> 01:01:48,535
[TOM] Jimmy's heart was in business.
1182
01:01:48,830 --> 01:01:53,700
He had a calling, just like you
have a calling to be a preacher.
1183
01:01:53,793 --> 01:01:57,252
His calling was to be a great businessman.
1184
01:01:59,049 --> 01:02:01,336
And that's what happened.
1185
01:02:04,804 --> 01:02:06,044
[MUSIC PLAYING]
1186
01:02:08,475 --> 01:02:11,718
Meantime, speaking of N.W.A.,
their new album Niggaz 4 Life
1187
01:02:11,811 --> 01:02:14,428
recently entered the Billboard chart
at number two,
1188
01:02:14,522 --> 01:02:15,728
then went to number one,
1189
01:02:15,815 --> 01:02:18,307
and has already gone gold
in less than a month,
1190
01:02:18,401 --> 01:02:20,267
with no radio or video support.
1191
01:02:20,362 --> 01:02:22,729
[RAPPING]
Ninteen-ninety-mothafucking-one
1192
01:02:22,822 --> 01:02:25,780
N.W.A back in this mother fucker, yo
1193
01:02:25,909 --> 01:02:29,243
Takin' out all you
commercialized-ass niggas
1194
01:02:29,329 --> 01:02:31,036
And we're on this laid-back track
1195
01:02:31,164 --> 01:02:32,950
And we're doin' this one kinda smooth
1196
01:02:33,041 --> 01:02:34,827
So whatcha gonna do, Dre?
Kick it
1197
01:02:34,918 --> 01:02:37,034
And so on, let the shit flow on
1198
01:02:37,254 --> 01:02:39,586
Because I need somethin' to go off on
1199
01:02:39,673 --> 01:02:42,586
The mothafuckin' D-R-E servin' a death wish
1200
01:02:42,676 --> 01:02:44,462
So I 'mma hit you like this
1201
01:02:44,552 --> 01:02:47,465
Early in the morning, hop into the B-en-z
1202
01:02:47,555 --> 01:02:49,842
I got 44 ways of gettin' paid
1203
01:02:49,933 --> 01:02:52,925
Sittin' in my lap as I roll up
the Compton blocks
1204
01:02:53,103 --> 01:02:55,140
To scoop up Ren, I heard shots
1205
01:02:55,230 --> 01:02:56,265
One, two, three
1206
01:02:56,356 --> 01:02:58,996
[RADIO ANNOUNCER] This is the number-one
album in the United States.
1207
01:02:59,067 --> 01:03:01,775
And this is the filthiest album ever
1208
01:03:01,861 --> 01:03:04,048
in the history of the Billboard charts
to go to number one.
1209
01:03:04,072 --> 01:03:07,110
[REPORTER 1] And they call
their number-one album Niggaz 4 Life.
1210
01:03:07,200 --> 01:03:09,282
If you consider that
offensive, brace yourself,
1211
01:03:09,369 --> 01:03:10,609
you may be in for a shock.
1212
01:03:10,704 --> 01:03:13,116
[REPORTER 2] So popular,
it became the best-selling album
1213
01:03:13,206 --> 01:03:14,662
in the whole country last week,
1214
01:03:14,749 --> 01:03:16,956
even though MTV banned it
1215
01:03:17,043 --> 01:03:20,161
and most radio stations
have refused to play it.
1216
01:03:26,594 --> 01:03:29,006
[YELLA] We broke up at number one.
1217
01:03:30,140 --> 01:03:32,131
We was planning to go on a tour, too.
1218
01:03:32,559 --> 01:03:34,049
And that never even happened.
1219
01:03:35,228 --> 01:03:36,389
Outsiders.
1220
01:03:36,730 --> 01:03:39,222
[REN] Everybody had their own
little cliques around them,
1221
01:03:39,316 --> 01:03:41,978
groupies or whatever you want to call them,
in everybody's ear.
1222
01:03:42,068 --> 01:03:43,296
[YELLA] Other people's telling people
1223
01:03:43,320 --> 01:03:45,006
You should get this, that, that.
You know, just...
1224
01:03:45,030 --> 01:03:46,316
[REN] Gassing everybody up.
1225
01:03:46,906 --> 01:03:49,898
That was just the demise of everything.
Everything was just falling apart.
1226
01:03:50,577 --> 01:03:53,035
[YELLA] This whole thing
was never about money.
1227
01:03:53,580 --> 01:03:55,537
It was always fun.
1228
01:03:56,041 --> 01:03:57,406
Money only ruined it.
1229
01:03:58,418 --> 01:04:01,911
So after I left Ruthless Records,
1230
01:04:02,464 --> 01:04:04,546
it was like, here I go again.
1231
01:04:04,883 --> 01:04:07,420
I'm out on my own. I gotta start over.
1232
01:04:07,635 --> 01:04:09,091
I don't know what I'm gonna do.
1233
01:04:09,179 --> 01:04:12,922
I don't know where I'm gonna do it.
And I have nothing.
1234
01:04:15,435 --> 01:04:18,973
Not too long after leaving Eazy,
I hooked up with D.O.C.
1235
01:04:19,564 --> 01:04:20,929
[D.O.C.] So I say to Dre,
1236
01:04:21,024 --> 01:04:23,891
Suge Knight and I
are trying to put together a record label.
1237
01:04:23,985 --> 01:04:26,443
This guy's a good guy. He can help us.
1238
01:04:26,780 --> 01:04:29,613
We got a chance
to go do our own thing now.
1239
01:04:32,535 --> 01:04:35,618
[DR. DRE] I remember them taking me on
a tour of the Solar Records building.
1240
01:04:36,331 --> 01:04:39,323
On one floor, there was
these lawyers' offices.
1241
01:04:39,417 --> 01:04:41,158
And in the third floor,
1242
01:04:41,252 --> 01:04:43,869
there was this big rehearsal hall
that was all decked out.
1243
01:04:43,963 --> 01:04:47,922
And then down the hall,
I found the first love of my life.
1244
01:04:49,260 --> 01:04:50,591
The SSL board,
1245
01:04:50,929 --> 01:04:53,671
mixing board that I had always dreamed
of working on.
1246
01:04:54,557 --> 01:04:56,047
That's how they got me.
1247
01:04:56,976 --> 01:04:59,138
[RAPPING]
Wake up, jumped out my bed
1248
01:04:59,229 --> 01:05:02,392
I'm in a two-man cell
with my homie Lil' Half Dead
1249
01:05:02,857 --> 01:05:04,814
Murder was the case that they gave me
1250
01:05:05,193 --> 01:05:07,400
Dear God, I wonder can you save me?
1251
01:05:07,904 --> 01:05:09,986
I'm only eighteen, so I'm a young buck
1252
01:05:10,323 --> 01:05:12,655
It's a ride, if I don't
scrap, I'm gettin' stuck
1253
01:05:12,742 --> 01:05:14,824
But that's the life of a G, I guess
1254
01:05:14,911 --> 01:05:17,403
Ese's way deep, shanked two in the chest
1255
01:05:17,497 --> 01:05:19,989
Best run 'cause brothers
is droppin' quicker
1256
01:05:20,166 --> 01:05:22,874
Ugh, too late, damn
Down goes another nigga
1257
01:05:23,711 --> 01:05:25,918
Bouncin' off the walls, throwin' them dogs
1258
01:05:26,005 --> 01:05:27,962
Gettin' that rep as a young hog
1259
01:05:28,341 --> 01:05:30,332
It ain't nothin' like the street life
1260
01:05:30,510 --> 01:05:31,946
You better be strapped with your shank
1261
01:05:31,970 --> 01:05:33,381
'Cause ain't no fistfight
1262
01:05:33,680 --> 01:05:35,591
So I guess I gots to handle mine
1263
01:05:35,682 --> 01:05:38,094
Since I did the crime, I gots to do my time
1264
01:05:38,184 --> 01:05:39,995
Them say me grow up to be nothing
Look at me now
1265
01:05:40,019 --> 01:05:43,182
And tell me what you see
I am what I am, it's only me
1266
01:05:43,565 --> 01:05:48,275
Little ghetto boy
1267
01:05:48,361 --> 01:05:52,855
Playing in the ghetto street
1268
01:05:54,159 --> 01:05:57,618
Whatcha gonna do when you grow up
1269
01:05:57,704 --> 01:06:01,538
And have to face responsibility?
1270
01:06:03,626 --> 01:06:06,414
Now I'm holdin' the dub, sittin' on swoll
1271
01:06:06,546 --> 01:06:09,584
Twenty-seven years old,
up for parole, stroll
1272
01:06:10,341 --> 01:06:12,628
I'm back up on my feet
with my mind on the money
1273
01:06:12,719 --> 01:06:15,507
That I be makin' soon
as I touch them streets
1274
01:06:15,680 --> 01:06:17,296
Things done changed on this side
1275
01:06:17,515 --> 01:06:20,098
Remember they used to thump,
but now they blast, right?
1276
01:06:20,518 --> 01:06:22,475
But it ain't no thang to me
1277
01:06:22,604 --> 01:06:25,437
'Cause now I'm what they call
a loced ass O. G.
1278
01:06:25,523 --> 01:06:27,639
The little homies from the hood with grip
1279
01:06:27,734 --> 01:06:30,647
Are the ones I get with
'cause I'm down to set trip
1280
01:06:30,987 --> 01:06:33,729
Nigga, I'm bigger than you
So whatcha wanna do?
1281
01:06:33,948 --> 01:06:35,689
Didn't know he had a .22
1282
01:06:35,909 --> 01:06:38,116
Straight sittin' behind his back
1283
01:06:38,369 --> 01:06:41,077
I grabbed his pockets
and then I heard six caps
1284
01:06:41,498 --> 01:06:44,661
I fell to the ground with blood on my hands
1285
01:06:44,751 --> 01:06:46,412
I didn't understand
1286
01:06:46,503 --> 01:06:49,245
How a nigga so young could bust a cap
1287
01:06:49,339 --> 01:06:51,296
I used to be the same way back
106448
