Dr. Dre’s ‘Compton’ streamed 25 million times on Apple Music

However, as Compton: A Soundtrack was widely considered a stunning comeback for one of the most dominant forces in hip hop, it would appear the release itself didn’t reflect the statistics when compared to those other releases. I suffer from horrific migraines that started only after the attack.

Which is disappointing and sobering reminder that history is often rewritten by the victors, especially when you watch Michel’le’s interview in which she describes herself as “just a quiet girlfriend who got beat up and told to sit down and shut up”.

Universal’s Straight Outta Compton follows the beginnings of Dr Dre and Ice Cube.

In the past, Michel’le has been vocal about the black eyes and scars she received while being abused by Dr. Dre, who’s an executive producer on Straight Outta Compton.

Dre won’t be too unhappy with the number two spot – the N.W.A. film became America’s hottest ticket at cinemas over the weekend, recording the highest-grossing opening for a biopic ever.

In Gray’s defense, the director told audiences at a New York film panel that he couldn’t fit every side story in the movie. Those are some of the things that I would like to take back. It was insane. Right after we shot a now-angry Cube and they shouted, “Cut!” one of the producers said, “We’re going to put that in”.

All of this fawning depiction is overcompensation, I thought to myself, since the very well-known incident of Dr. Dre repeatedly slamming a female journalist’s head against the wall and then throwing her body to the ground and kicking her ribs was conspicuously nowhere to be found in the film. If you listen to the lyrics of “A Bitch Iz a Bitch”, Cube says, “Now the title bitch don’t apply to all women / But all women have a little bitch in ’em”.

The entire account is heartbreaking, from the fear of losing her life at Dr. Dre’s hands to being blackballed from the industry because people feared losing their ties to Dre.

Dre went on to address his public image, “I have social anxiety”.

When I saw the footage of California Highway Patrol officer Daniel Andrew straddling and viciously punching Marlene Pinnock in broad daylight on the side of a busy freeway last year, I cringed.

I am so grateful I had the opportunity to make peace with him [Eazy E] before he passed. He didn’t look well.

Barnes has never been able to shed both the physical and emotional pain of the beating. He wasn’t coughing, the way it was dramatized in the movie. “We had a conversation”.
