Lonzo Williams: Dre & Eazy Were Supposed to Co-Own Ruthless Records

- www.vladtv.com - World Class Wreckin' Cru founder Alonzo Williams was one of the many N.W.A. affiliates depicted in the box office smash, "Straight Outta Compton." Unfortunately, he wasn't represented in the best light, but when asked about it, he's completely fine with that. "I had to be the bad guy in the movie so I'll wear that hat," he says during our interview. In this clip, Alonzo admits "a whole lot wasn't laid out" in the biopic, and he doesn't hesitate to reveal all.
Alonzo claims Jerry Heller - who he still speaks with to this day - managed the Wreckin' Cru before N.W.A., a fact widely known to the public. An even smaller known fact is the original plans regarding Ruthless Records. According to Alonzo, Dr. Dre was supposed to be co-owner of the label "along with Arabian Prince and some other folks", but apparently the business deal never went through. "Last time I checked, Dre and Eazy was supposed to have owned Ruthless together - Jerry was representing Eazy from a management standpoint. And then allegedly Jerry became the part owner," he reveals. Some time later, Dre. reportedly left after "he realized he was getting pimped," says Williams, who also claims the now super-producer was only paid $20,000 an album.
Williams also speaks on the group as a whole from a personal standpoint, calling them a "phenomenon of marketing." "Dre, Yella and Eazy? If they were in the room right now you'd never know they were here...'Til girls showed up. Then the peacocks blossomed," he adds with a laugh. When it comes to Eazy-E being off-beat, Alonzo says it's not just a rumor. "He had to punch in every single line - but he pulled it off. He eventually came off on-beat, but he didn't have the cadence down first. So he just kinda' winged his way through it," he details.
Find out more from the Wreckin' Cru head as he talks N.W.A. and Michel'le. "Although I discovered Michel'le - I'm the reason why she got her voice heard to the world - her and Dre had become intimate and he convinced her to sign to Ruthless," Alonzo confesses, calling it "the straw that broke the camel's back."
Press play for more. - Zábava
I love how Lonzo took that light jab at Dre. "I've never seen any beats by Dre".

Now it's time to watch a FlyingKitty video.
Dr. Dre: "You got it".
Lonzo: "NO, YOU GOT IT!!!"
Shit had the whole theater cracking up. Without Lonzo's stage NWA might have never happened though. It sparked the interest even more.

That ending!!! "...but no, I haven't seen any beats by Dre"...LMAOOO!!!
lmao..,you heard that to
Loooool
Lol perfect ending
Lol perfect ending
I knew It sounded like a jab💪
One krazy fact. Alot of people went thru Lonzo. Ice Cube, Dr. Dre., DJ Battlecat, Compton'sMost Wanted/MC Eiht, Kid Disater (K-Dee) . Even The Unknown DJ was mentored up under Lonzo in the pre West Coast days.. If you dint know all underground mixed records like Scratch Party 1,2,3..., Mix Trix 1,2,3....., etc. were thru Lonzo....
I wana see a straight outta Compton movie from Ren and Yella point of view.
jcakemix yella don't say anything
jcakemix it would be a 5 min movie
Those were the ones that weren't the stars
Add Arabian Prince too
MλRK Nah, it will be longer than that. Ren had solo careers with Ruthless after the break up of NWA.
"Lesser talented cats are stars these days" wow who knew that statement would still be true til this day. Now I'm mad they made lonzo look like the bad guy in the movie lol
Ya I could tell from that moment I was like “the movie did him dirtyyyy” cuz I can tell this guys genuine asf lol😂
Djvlad actually doing REAL journalism, instead of clickbait garbage? gotta give him props on this one.
This cat is very charismatic & his stories are captivating to listen to. He's like a Dr. Neil DeGrasse Tyson of the Hood. Dope Sh**!!
Damn. This story is nothing like the damn movie.
darcanjel7 fuck the movies, you expect hollywood to give you the 100% real? theyre gonna sparkle it up to make it look nicer than it really was
+Ryu Chase facts
darcanjel7 Im glad i didnt saw the movie, .... yet,....i will eventualy, but i knew it was 50% bullshit from the start.
From what i know Sug beat the shit outta Eazy in order to let Dre go from Ruthless, thats why Eazy wanted to kill Knight; there was no tough Dre either, i remember people telling stories of him crying to Sug just to let him go from Death Row. Dre beat a lot of bitches(mostly female lmao) but he lived a nightmare at DeathRow.
+TheKillahAkASuperP No Biopic can be 100% accurate. If only because you have to condense many, many years into just a few hours. Also, the movie has to be entertaining and narratively sound. So I don't think anyone set out to bullshit the audience. But they probably did have to condense a few things and make certain characters a "composite" of general attitudes and stuff. Plus its not like these guys have been keeping silent. By the sounds of it, everybody has released a book and cashed in on N.W.A's fame/infamy long before the movie came out. The movie will serve as a good gateway for those truly interested to discover all these books, interviews, documentaries and get a fuller story, from multiple perspectives.
They altered a lot in the movie. I don't think, well a little bit, Lonzo lying or not.
For me as a Eazy-E and N.W.A. big fan who was introduced to rap by those guys in the 6th grade, these Lonzo interviews are the best thing Vlad has ever done.
If you listen to the N.W.A and the Posse version of Boys In The Hood you can actually hear most of the spots where Eazy's vocals are "punched in." Most rappers can do an entire verse in one take. I can't imagine how laborious it had to be to record the song one bar at a time. But hey, Eazy had a very distinct voice and as history has shown, they made the right choice.
+Corey Cavalier Ren said that Eazy took so many takes that people would just get up and leave the studio session. lmao
Not trying to knock him, but even as a kid hearing Eazy, I knew he couldn't rap. I guess his voice got him over with some folks.
I disagree,easy e had one hit song.I believe if it was not for that,he would still be a drug dealer,because easy was not going to persue an education,so his frontier was music.
January Simes wrong, he had two hit ALBUMS!
@@irandleIV stfu. after boyz n the hood when he did eazy duz it album he learned how to rap
he didn't see any of the Beats By Dre..that came out to perfect. u know he has cracced a couple jokes about it before
I'm glad somebody else caught that shit lol
Lmao.... bet they cut it off cause everybody in the room start laughing
Yea i caught that good one lonzo!! Lol
Had me crying when he said that.
+Southern California straight Comedy!!! lol
"I never seen any beats by Dre"
lmao
😂😂😂
Damn, they keep exposing themselves. Half of the shit in this movie was a goddamn lie.
No shit. The movie was seriously Dr. Dre's fantasy of how shit went down. I remember the first time I saw "Straight Outta Compton," I immediately started to think/feel like the movie was basically "the history of NWA/Death Row/West Coast Gangsta Rap" according to Dr. Dre. Or, at least, the way Dre wished/wanted "The History" to look like. Then after listening to all these DJ Vlad interviews, it became pretty clear that my intuition was right.
Says who lonzo lol
Understatement...they don't mention Arabian Prince and he is on the cover of the Straight out of Compton Album
@@ibrown3KC Even 50 Cent Clowned Dr Dre You Know It's Bad When 50 Clowns You
I am working on a documentary about NWA and I have spent hundreds of hours reading, researching, and watching videos about NWA. This video is one of the best ones that I have found so far! Keep up the great work Vlad!
Lenon Honor how old are you?
Lenon Honor the reason I ask is because I'm 43 and I believe that a great documentary would have to start with experience and not on research alone. Anyway I would love to see it regardless so if it's done send me a link.
Same, but that comment was 2 years ago. And he hasn't responded back to you yet haha.
The movie is based on the image and not reality.
In the Welcome to Deathrow documentary even Suge Knight said Dre and Easy were supposed to partners in owning Ruthless Records.
suge knight is a liar.
"I thought he had narcolepsy or some shit."
Lmfao the way how he ended that interview tho lol 😂😂
Lmao... #Bars
facts lol
Beats by dre 😂👌
+TheSincereb11 stop talking shit about dre I lived in Inglewood I would always eat donuts from Randy's Donut's I am a Compton og
Alonzo character was the funniest in straight outta compton. Dude had me dying. Them earth wind and fire jackets he had Dre wearing was comedy.
*_That “beats by Dre” line at the end kills me every time!! It never gets old.. Omg too funny!!_* 😆
Best line in a great interview was the last. "no, i didnt see the Beats By Dre™😂😂"
I've never seen any Beats By Dre.
Yeah! That was a clever play on words.
***** Yeah that was a good *punch line* i mean line... Giggling 😂
+Jewel Luscious I mean yes it is wrong for a man to put his hands on a woman or for any body to put their hands on any one for good reason, I love michel'le, she is a sweet sister & I am a long time fan of her, but I did laugh when he said that, I never seen any of the beats by Dre lol.
Naaim Sharif yeah that was a good joke LoL.
Damn i kinda forgot michel le was singing the hook on before you turn off the lights. When really look at it this dude lonzo is really the one that put everybody on
Hey Lonzo do you remember Stripe MC? He was on the 1st Compton Control Mobb. He past several years ago. He use to talk about you a lot. Much love. We ended up doing an album together before he past. 🐐 🙌
😂😂😂I had to rewind the end lmao. I didn't see no beats by Dre
Jay Jones 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
hes savage for that
Like 5 times
For once I'd like biopics to be accurate.
These interviews are equal to or even greater than the actual movie. they need to re-do that shit based off these videos.
"I never seen any of the beats by Dre" LMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Eazy in his Susuki Samurai
He didnt see any "Beats By Dre" I cant.... I'm a Michel'le stan, I'd like to hear more about the making of Turn Off The Lights!
The way he paused before saying was like he’s been waiting his whole life to say it😭
"I've never seen any of the beats by Dre" lmfao
"When he realized he was getting pimp'd" daym
If you piece together Lonzo, Arabian Prince and Miche'le's interviews, you get a much different picture of what the movie portrayed.
"i never seen any of the beats by Dre"....hilarious!
I love the Interviewer. He's right on point. Never lets him digress from the facts. Keeps him on track. Fact checking as they go. Good job Mr Interviewer. Who ever you are.
beatstrangler I think Vlad is some white culture vulture. But, I agree that he is a good interviewer.
Damn, Vlad doesn't know shit! Dre produced Straight Outta Compton and Eazy-Duz-It relatively at the same time, Straight Outta Compton came out August 9 of '88 then Eazy-Duz-It dropped in September 13 of '88.
nobody ever talks about mc ren like he wasn't there
Mega Bryant ikr
he was after. and u can see interview of him speaking alot so fuckem
true that.Mc ren was not a lot to nwa.don't seen .
Mega Bryant just like they dont talk about arabian prince or krazy D
Mega Bryant I know, there are videos of him but it's only like a few. What's up with that man
"I never seen any beats by dre" I love this dude
Wrecking Crew was out before LL Cool J.
Luv this guy best NWA related interview s with Lorenzo
Alonzo?
Lmao yea hahaha 😂😩😂😂
:)
🔥🔥🔥
So good to hear this straight from Lonzo. He has no reason to lie about anything, you know he's droppin' truth.
"I never seen any of the beats by Dre"
"I didn't see any of the beats by Dre" lmao perfect execution
Damnnn Dr. Dre was the owner of
Aftermath
Deathrow
But almost was the owner of Ruthless too damnn 3 amazing west coast record labels
he owed nothing
OMG!! When he said, “I’ve never seen Beats by Dre,” in response to Miche’le getting smacked. I could’ve died just by laughing!!! Damn Lonzo, you funny as hell!!!😮😮😮🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
AL seem like a straight up dude " Big Smoke " look alike tho lol
lmao
+godzangel100 San Anderas, lol
Lol he do tho
Look dead alike. They had to model Big Smoke after this nigga😁
like the little jab at the end "i neva seen any beats by dre" lmao
Alonzo is half telling truths. The rest of the time he is misremembering.
+YouHateMe yeah, but to be honest lot of em do it some times in interviews, gotta remember, as fans we look up and find this stuff, they lived it and just have it as a memory.
Lmao the little jab at the end. I never seen any of the Beats by Dre
he said he wasn't around to witness beats by dre when asked if he saw dre beat michel'le.
He telling the truth. If you watch old NWA studio sessions, they are all pretty quiet guys.
*@**18:11** THAT'S WHERE THE CONCEPT OF BEATS BY DRE COMES FROM🤣*
EZ brought me a box of Boyz n da Hood 12 inch records to my store in the Slauson Swapmeet so I can put it on a DJ COCO Mixtape #truestory
Lol the shade at the end " I never seen any of the beats by Dre"😂😂😂😂
jj fad was the 1st record released on ruthless
Wow vlad, you go into so much detail in this interview! very informative! Keep these alonzo interviews coming!
"I never saw the beats by dre.." LOL. Best line of the interview.
just wow! the more I hear Alonzo do interviews the more I can't wait for his book to come out. I love these kinds of stories. I like to hear from all angles and perspectives. and shout out to you vladtv!!!!! thanx for the upload
Hmmm... I just happened to have read this part in Jerry Heller's book Ruthless just last night and Jerry tells the Marconi restaurant story different.. He said he had agreed with Eazy to rep him, and that was gonna be a full time job, so Jerry called all his talent to meet him at Morconi's and once there, he said... I am gonna rep Eazy and NWA, I can still rep you guys, so whoever wants to come with me, you are welcome. Some didn't and some did. Just sayin´ Jerry isn't around to defend himself, but his book is.
The end of the Interview "I never seen none of the Beats by Dre" LMAO!!
Beats By Dre 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 He Threw Dat Chit In Like A Curve Ball #CTFU
1627 Interstate 😂😂😂😂I thought I was tripping. He did say that shit 😂😂😂!
I love those last seven words, "I've never seen any beats by Dre." #shade
So Dre snuck out of World class wrecking crew, ruthless records, and death row records lol 😀😀😀
He just walked right out
Stepping stones and stacking 🍞 now he's the man
favorite vlad quote « i interviewed michel’le »
According to Wikipedia and Discogs, 'Straight Outta Compton' dropped before 'Eazy-Duz-It': August 9th 1988, follwed by Eazy-Duz-It one month later, on September 13th 1988!
I remember Dre said the exact same thing: he and Eric were suppose to own ruthless together but Jerry got in the way. I forgot what documentary Dre said that on. I think it was either behind the music or on Eazys documentary. I forgot tho but I do remember Dre saying that.
That's such a shame cause Eazy and Dre were entrepreneurs, things could of gone so differently, the beef never would of happened, and the label would still be active today with Dre runnin' it, Heller never should of been in the picture, everybody would be paid the right way and fairly and there would of been no reason to start Death Row and let Suge exploit Dre again just like Heller did.
@@musahaque2000 no dre was not an entrepeneur. he is just a good producer.
@@4LP3E An entrepreneur's someone who owns their own business and company who's the backbone to a lot of the work, he's definitely that.
He didn’t have those skills until he met Jimmy Evine and learned from him.
Prior to that, Dre was irresponsible with money, blew it on parties, wasn’t showing up for work on time if at all and according to Alonzo, Dre still owes him money from 30 years ago and borrowed more than what he was supposed to be paid.

"I never seen none of the beats by Dre" lol he fool
Laughing 'bout Easy's voice and getting intimate with Michel'le ... That's what I call humor.
lmao did anyone catch the pun at the end when lanzo said he didn't catch any of the beats by dre??
" I have never seen Beats by Dre" HAHA
..he really said BEATS BY DRE ..no pun intended.😂😂
LMAO he said, "I've never seen the beats by dre"
Lol @ the final few seconds: "No, I've never seen any beats by Dre"...CLASSIC!
so this guy is not the asshole they make him out to be in the movie? seems like a cool og
Fascinating stories about the nascent years of N.W.A.
This story is a complete contradiction to the movie Straight Outta Compton in the movie Jerry met easy at the place where easy was having NWA records pressed Jerry approached them not easy paying somebody almost $1,000 just to meet him but because Hollywood is Hollywood I have to say I tend to believe this gentleman before believing the Hollywood movie
“Beats by Dre” 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
i love Lonzo!!! keep the lonzo interviews coming vlad
He ended by saying "I didn't see any of the BEATS BY DRE" hilarious
Lol he didn’t see any beats by Dre ... that’s gold 😂😂😂
That ending was fire. I hate to say this but good job on editing Vlad.
no mention of JJ fad?
TIMARIO SUPREM.
Straight Outta Compton Came Out On Aug. 9 1988 & THEN Eazy-Duz-It Came Out Afterwards
According to wiki, Straight Outta Compton was released 8-9-88 and Eazy Duz it was released 9-13-88, so basically 1 month apart but SOC came out first. NWA and the Posse dropped in 87.
Eazy E was dope even tho he rapped off beat. His verse on Bone Thugs-N-Harmony's "Foe Tha Love Of Money" was off beat but dope af.
Eminem was off beat on The Slim Shady LP and The Marshall Mathers LP, and people still think his dope, and Eazy and Em both had guidance and mentoring from Dre on how to perfect they flow
Lmfao "I Never witnessed the Beats By Dre" Fucking classic.
The Movie will lie to sell records
Beats by dre 🙃😲😄😎 somebody get this man a podcast & the editor kudos lol
they got him down in the movie. In the movie he was strict but in a comedy way. And when hear him do this interview I feel like its the same guy in the movie
Dre is a great producer/studio engineer
Great interview, Straight Outta Compton was definitely released before Eazy-Duz-It though
cdfu!!!!! on how the interview ended "i never seen the "beats by Dre" " LMAO!!!!!
Everybody was on Kru-Kut Records.
W.C.W.C, N.W.A,&Posse Michelle', Arabian Prince, Egyptian Lover
Good interview. I saw the movie yesterday and it made Lonzo look bad. The movie also made it seem like Jerry was pursued Eazy in the business venture..
soooo many inconsistencies with the SOC Movie um glad I downloaded dat shit 4 free
Lol@ Dre was supposed to co-own Ruthless and Death Row and then somehow ended up being under both Eazy and Suges control and needing Jimmy Iovine to get him out
Because Dre was always an artistic type of dude. He wasn't a natural businessman like that. Eazy was always supposed to be money man in NWA and not a rapper initially. But that all changed after Boyz in the Hood.
THE ENDING 😭😭😭😭😭 LOOOOOOK DAWG that was clever
Now this was a great interview Vlad bring Lonzo back, he got more stories 😂
