Description
DR. DRE: Tupac never knew me.
ICE CUBE: I just do shit for Ice Cube fans, not for Hip-Hop fans.
YELLA: Me and Dre produced all Eazy, N.W.A. All of that. Me and him did that together.
JERRY HELLER: There are people that think that I am the White Devil
N.W.A - The Aftermath is comprised of direct quotes from two exclusive Dr. Dre interviews, three exclusive Ice Cube interviews, one exclusive Yella interview, one exclusive Jerry Heller interview, one exclusive Westside Connection interview and the press conference for Bow Down at Priority Records HQ. They had all moved on in different directions since N.W.A. Some were now in different groups, or running their own crew, while others had embarked on solo careers. Yet they were all still tied in some way to the West Coast Hip-Hop legacy of N.W.A And that meant they were inevitably still tied to controversy.
In a rare and vintage interview from 1996, Dr. Dre relayed deep unfiltered thoughts in the midst of his war with Death Row Records, shortly after the untimely murder of Tupac Shakur. He spoke on his departure from N.W.A and Ruthless Records, Death Row Records, the beginning of Aftermath Entertainment, and laid out future plans. He went in on Snoop Doggy Dogg's Tha Doggfather and responded to personal rumours.
In an exclusive 1999 interview prior to the release of Chronic 2001, a focused and balanced Dr. Dre marked his return to the top while discussing his state of mind, karma and spirituality, and explained why he said, "Fuck Rap".
In 2001, 2003 and 2006 exclusive interviews, and a 1996 press conference, Ice Cube spoke on hardcore Hip-Hop, New York City media, his battle with B-Real and Cypress Hill, Common, the explosive dis song "No Vaseline", both his film and music career on the set of Friday After Next, and his passion for the Los Angeles Lakers and Oakland Raiders.
In a rare and vintage exclusive 1996 interview, Yella, the most misunderstood member of N.W.A, spoke on the magic of the group and what led to them parting ways. The mysterious death of his close friend Eazy-E, his relationships with Dr. Dre, Ice Cube and Ren, Ruthless Records and the legacy of N.W.A.
In an exclusive 2006 interview inside his home, Jerry Heller, the most disrespected Manager in the history of the music business, responded to all questions and held nothing back. Putting his record up against anyone, he addressed his reputation as a crook, people who sent dis songs in his direction, and what happened when he came to face The Game. He spoke at length at what led him to meet up with Eazy-E, the rise and fall of Ruthless Records, the final days of Eazy-E, and named his selections to star in the film that has become Straight Outta Compton.
Combined the interviews provide a first-hand history of N.W.A with a view to the future, and a key look into the state of mind of these legendary figures who existed within the heart of arguably the most infamous and dark period in modern contemporary music history in which lives were tragically lost.
Much of what you will read here has been sensationalized by others in a manner of journalistic psycho-speak. N.W.A - The Aftermath is as close to the truth as one can get. It delivers raw thoughts by real people and is manifested directly in the voice and words of the artists who made it happen.
Each chapter will unravel tall tales and give you new insight. Don't miss out on the opportunity to learn what really happened.
