New Jerry Heller Intervew.....Shits on Ice Cube, talks NWA, Bone Thugs, etc.

Snoop's ghostwriter probably fucked it up, truth be told. Very few celebrities write their own autobiographies.

And that is correct, Tha Crossroads remix didn't drop until April 1996 and the album had been out for awhile. Not sure when the pressings changed, but they put a big sticker on them that said it features the Mo Thugs remix of Tha Crossroads. E. 1999 was released in July 1995. Wiki claims the European versions are the ones with the remix as track 18.

I don't understand why the interviewer kept pushing that line of question about why Hellar didn't bring in any other producers besides Dre.   There were other dope producers at Ruthless.  Some even argue that Hutch/Above the Law elevated Dre's game and were ahead of Dre with the GFunk production that Dre would later make famous.

I own the european version of E. 1999 Eternal with the remix version of Crossroads.

I agree with Infinite, there were very dope producers at Ruthless not named Dre : DJ Yella, Chris "The Glove" Taylor, Rhythm D., Big Hutch, etc.

yeah.. it was a strange line of questioning at that point.  And then Hellar kept just answering that all he needed was Dre... and the interviewer just kept pushing it and Hellar just kept saying all he needed was Dre but saying it in different ways to try to satisfy the question but the interviewer was never satisfied... and all the while Yella, The Glove, Rhythm D, Hutch, etc. were never mentioned.

he mentions Yella at the end.

i didn't check the interview yet, but i assume we've heard most of it before.

He just says he and Eazy didn't steal any money. What he's not saying is they gave cube and them bad deals. Cube was smart and chose not to sign the next bad deal and bounced.

the same deals that he gave to his artists?

Exactly! In Welcome To Death Row, Dick Griffey called the Ruthless deals "The worst deals he's ever seen in the history of the music business."
