It's ironic that they're using him to promote the movie and let him diss westcoast rap. Is it pretty interesting as bitter as it seems

If it was that easy then everyone would've been as big as NWA. The reason NWA worked is because Dre was a muthafuckin genius... I mean if you just listen to the way the horns come in for Eazy on the last verse of St8 out of Compton I mean that shit is undeniable!! The sound schemes Dre was doing were above anything the East Coast could ever dream of. You can be a gangsta all day and many have tried, but unless you have a genius like Dre in the room to make that shit BANG then all your gangsta talk won't even matter
