In regards to Jerry Heller's book, the worst stuff is said about Cube and D.O.C. He says he has no personal problems with Cube but it's clear from the comments he makes that there are still issues. He more or less describes D.O.C. as a cancer and calls Suge Knight the worst thing to happen to the music business. With Dre, his comments are a little more even-handed. He agrees with Dre's comment of "Jerry backed the wrong nigga" in the sense that as a businessman, he would have made more money with Dre but says it was a loyalty issue. He also says Dre backed the wrong guy as well in joining up with Suge. He states the opinion that Eazy reconciling with Cube in NYC was a pawn to get Cube to agree to an N.W.A. reunion and that Eric still did not like Cube. He says a couple of bad things about Dre here and there but he's a lot kinder in his analysis of him than he is with the others. The big thing I expected was for him to reitreate the claims of Dre stealing tracks and a lot of the other rumors but he's actually very complimentary of his skills as a producer and more or less, says he was the most musically important member of the group. He puts into question some of his actions in leaving Ruthless though he never outright acusses him of being involved in the infamous Suge extortion scenerio.

 Interesting.  I don't really have an opinion on D.O.C., but He makes a pretty good point regarding Dr. Dre and Suge, and backing the wrong person.  I remember reading him saying something very similar in a recent interview, regarding Dr. Dre.  He pretty much said that he and Eazy underestimated Dre's value as a producer, and in hindsight, they should have tried to pay him more to get him to stay at Ruthless.
 And I think his point about Suge is pretty valid too, considering how Dre left Death Row as well, after just a few years.
