i think Lil E´s Problem was that Game was usin too much the Brandname Eazy e and that was maybe the problem with him..
If I was Lil' Eazy I would start putting out product now and cross promote it with the up and coming NWA film slated for release next year. He should let the film company pay all the money for promo of the film but ride the media wave to advance his own career. So while people asking questions about his pops in interviews he can slip in his release date from time to time.
He needs to get it poppin' now though so by the time the hype for the film starts he'll already have his foot in the door. Being blackballed don't mean a damn thing! I'm sure he was blackballed from the get go. Yall act like everyone loved Eazy and that Interscope probably didn't already have them blackballed on the strength of Dre and DR.
Is Lil' Eazy Crippin' like his pops?

I highly doubt anyone outside of internet forums would care to interview him about Eazy-E/NWA when they can just interview the remaining members of NWA or people from Ruthless. Yes, he's Eazy's eldest son, but let's be honest about it. Eazy was busy being both an artist and a record label exec, plus he had several other kids with almost as many women... his attention devoted to his kids is already split up, trying to visit all of those different households. What useful or interesting stories would Lil E have that we couldn't get from anyone else who was both around Eazy a lot more and old enough to have real memories worth telling?Quote from: abusive on April 29, 2014, 10:43:36 AMHe needs to get it poppin' now though so by the time the hype for the film starts he'll already have his foot in the door.

Yall act like everyone loved Eazy and that Interscope probably didn't already have them blackballed on the strength of Dre and DR.They didn't have them blackballed... Death Row just became the king of the hill, but not necessarily the dictator of hip-hop with enough power to shut anyone down (though that could've happened in 1996-1997). Eazy was still putting out albums, and Ruthless was big enough to keep going. Remember this little group called Bone Thugs-N-Harmony? You can't go multiplatinum and be blackballed. Creepin on ah Come Up and E. 1999 Eternal were huge successes.Quote from: abusive on April 29, 2014, 10:43:36 AMIs Lil' Eazy Crippin' like his pops?Not sure, he's at least cool with KPCC though. Remember, that DVD that came with The Documentary had Game going to visit Lil E in their hood with a lot of those KPCC heads there.
As far as blakballing goes, there are several forms that it takes. Look at Spider Loc for example. Jimmy Ivonne wouldn't mess with him until his picture was taken down from the DR website. That doesn't mean he put out calls to stop him from eating, it just means he couldn't eat with him. Crooked I was getting blackballed too to the point where he couldn't perform in some venues. Eminem bragged about having others black balled on the track him and Dre did on the Eminem Show - 'Say what you say". All that happened by making enemies with people signed on Interscope. You think Ruthless and Ruthless artist were somehow exempt?

Do you equate a company being able to release albums that during that time still managed to move ten million units (not counting the millions moved before and after the beef) as being blackballed? If so, it doesn't sound half bad. What other crews or labels were moving that many units at that time? Definitely not Bad Boy. Not Wu-Tang. Maybe Def Jam as a whole, but it was a ton of acts who were each going gold, maybe platinum. But not a lot of multi-platinum albums.And after 1997, what happened? Just the one main album that Ruthless put out that year (The Art of War) went 4X platinum and sold more than Death Row did from that point onward, not counting the Pac albums released jointly with Amaru (since those were far more efforts on Amaru's part without any substantial Death Row involvement). So yeah, so much for Ruthless being blackballed.
I thought that Timbaland joint he had would have at least caught enough of a buzz to get him a release date but whoever he was signed to (think it was Capitol?) definitely never came with the money bag to push it
I said Micheal Jackson said he was blackballed and part of the outcome was he was number everywhere in the world expect the US.
A lot of words, but still no examples of Ruthless getting blackballed.You said, "Suge was so feared that industry heads would have to think twice about doing business with Eazy/Ruthless for no other reason than to piss off Suge once Suge voiced his disdain for Ruthless publicly."Okay... so what proof do you have of this? What industry heads who were going to work with Eazy changed their minds because of Suge? Or are you just speculating? The distribution companies obviously didn't care, as they were still putting out albums and getting release dates. If they were really blackballed, then they may have gotten their albums delayed time and time again. Or they wouldn't have had the promotion to get their albums the media attention that they got. Or magazines like The Source and VIBE wouldn't have put Eazy and Bone Thugs on their magazine covers or put up their advertisements in their magazine. Or MTV and BET wouldn't have played their videos. But none of that happened, because Ruthless was never blackballed. They existed before and after Death Row's reign, despite both no longer being the king of the kill and their executive producer having passed away.So yeah... Ruthless blackball not found.
