DUBCNN: An Exclusive Interview With Jerry Heller

[TraceOneInfinite]

Thanks for the interview.

Reading this guy's answers, it's not a big stretch for me to see how he jerked around Cube, Dre, Ren, D.O.C., etc when they first blew. I mean, check this out:

"Dubcnn: Okay, do you actually own any unreleased Eazy-E tracks? ‘Cause I know that us fans would love to hear anything new from Eazy.

Is that a legal question, when you say “own”, or are you just asking out of a point of interest, because when you ask, “own”, you get into a very complicated area of the law as to who owns what, does the artist own the performance or does the person who paid for the record own the performance, and I’m not qualified to make those sorts of legal decisions and I think we should just leave it at that."

That's probably how he said it when an artist asked him about maybe "owning" his own publishing. 

D.O.C. - Yo man, I was thinking, uh, that maybe I should own my own publishing

Jerry: When you say "own," are you just asking out of a point of interest, because when you ask, "own," you get into a very complicated area of law as to who owns what. Do you own the performance or does the person who paid for the record own the performance?

D.O.C. - ....

Jerry: Good. Now here's a gold chain instead.

nice analogy

I'm sure it'll be a dope read, will post feedback after reading,

The book was dope as hell.

Props to Dubcc and Jerry Heller.  That really was a great interview, very informative.  Jerry Heller sounds like a very competent man.  I actually think he may deserve more credit than he gets, maybe if it wasn't for his forsight and knowledge of the industry, NWA and Death Row and all that may have never happened.

I give Jerry props for making this a really interview, and not just some fluff-advertisement for his book.

Dubcc is the number 1 hip-hop site on the internet, SOHH and Allhip-hop are overrated.

[TraceOneInfinite]

I listened to the interview in audio... I didn't hear anything mentioned about Bone.  Did I miss it?  How come nothing was asked about Bone?

[AfterMathematics]

major props on the interview.

to all the dudes hatin on this man read the book and see HIS side of the story in full, we've heard from everyone else (except for Eazy) for a decade so before swallowing their sh*t, see what the man has to say.  

it's worth remembering what peops (D.O.C, RBX) accused dre of concerning their contracts at Death Row subsequently (before he dipped out and all the attention was focussed on Suge) and also what J-Dee has said about Ice Cube about his contract before getting on some sanctimonious sh*t. this is a scandalous business afterall.

 

No doubt. I do believe he was a big reason why Ruthless got put together in the first place. He was the only guy in the mix who had any real experience in the music biz when the label kicked off. It's just that since this is a scandalous business, I can only imagine how a bunch of naive young brothers might have gotten ganked by a guy who knew all the angles and could talk circles around them. Doesn't surprise me that Suge, Dre, Cube took a page out of his book down the road. Fuck it - it's just business after all.

Dubcnn: Okay and being Jewish did you ever feel offended by any of Ice Cube’s lyrics?

Well obviously “No Vaseline” is an anti-semitic song. I mean the ?? and the museum of tolerance, Rabbi Cooper and Rabbi Hier said it was an anti-semitic song, they classified it as such. That doesn’t mean that I think O’Shea Jackson is an anti-semitic, it doesn’t mean that I think that O’Shea Jackson is anti-Korean because he wrote “Black Korea”. I took that song very personal and I think that O’Shea Jackson was anti-Jerry Heller and pro-O’Shea Jackson. So I think that he used that to further his interest and I think he just does it to attempt at keep selling records. Obviously he’s not as popular as he used to be as a recording artist.


^^^^^^^^^  Thanks for asking one of my questions. I disagree with him, I don't think Ice Cube did the track just to "sell records".  And, it appears he still holds some grudge towards Ice Cube, because his last sentence was an obvious jab at Cube.

Well from a fan's perspective, it may be true that Jerry jerked some people, but he also did handle business very efficiently, and that enabled Dre and Eazy and all of them to focus on the music and put together some great, classic records.  So, I think Jerry deserves some credit because he was trying to accomplish all of this with business partners who were straight off the streets.

Yeah, Jerry even tried to diss the Chronic album by saying it wasn't as great as Straight Out Of Comptom.

[NotoriousA.O.D.]

Good interview but I don't like how he danced around the unreleased Eazy material question. Should've changed the question to do you have any unreleased Eazy material? on the spot. . .


Too bad Eazy didn't get suge's faggit ass murked too. . .
