  • www.vladtv.com - World Class Wreckin' Cru founder Alonzo Williams spoke exclusively to VladTV about various topics, more specifically his early days spent with Ice Cube, Dr. Dre, and DJ Yella.
    After explaining why he hadn't seen Ice Cube in over twenty years until the "Straight Outta Compton" premiere, Williams revealed that Ice Cube actually thanked him for giving him a start. When asked about Ice Cube's true gangster status, Alonzo revealed that Cube was never really down, adding the rapper is just a "good actor."
    Speaking further, Alonzo believes that he was the most gangster out of himself, Dr. Dre and Ice Cube, as he actually faced attempted murder charges for shooting up a club back in the day. Williams did give Eazy-E props, however, for actually being from the streets like he rapped about.
    Check out more of what Alonzo had to say in the above clip, including his reaction to DJ Yella sleeping with his girl in "Straight Outta Compton."

    Everyone thinking Eazy wasn't that dude because they saw some movie. They made dre and cube look tough. Eazy E was cripping and hustling the rest of them were rappers. They wait until he dies to portray him as soft

      +fuckyalife52212 well they are stupid or they don't know shit about 90's hip hop and need a quick lesson lmao most likely both but eazy was far from soft in the movie to me he was trill asf and notorious was trash in my opinion and plus if it was so "far off" from the truth the family should've stepped in and said something

      +Dontaydra Bowens the family wasn't included they watched the finished results like us. The only one that was involved was the woman he married in the hospital. Notorious was closer to actual events then SOC. They had pack in the movie but no bone. They made it look like Eazy went broke as soon as Dre left which is a lie. They made Dre look like the hero the movie should've been called the chronic. I'm not expecting it to be totally accurate but come on the ending though😀😀😀 you can't tell me Dre didn't make this about him

      100... I had to come back to this interview after the Ja Morant fiasco
      Patrick Beverly also mentioned the same thing today. He spoke on how our music influences us
      I had this debate with many people and it baffled me how they didn't understand what seemed to me very obvious. From the gangsta bs to the sexual bs that women are portraying is ridiculous. This the epitome of selling your soul. The women may never be looked at as guilty but the oversexualization of any culture is even more detrimental than the violence. Look it up JD Unwin "Sex and Culture"

Cube carried guns on tour just like everybody else did in the crew. cube faced the same issues as eveyone else diet from police profiling to growing up in the hood. he survived and was able to pull himself out of there and stay out. that's what makes him gangsta. any real gangsta will tell you that there quick out on the streets. the OGs was activists and neighborhood protectors that went to college and gave back to the hood. why you got to be in a gang to be gangsta. every gang member would be out the hood in a second if they was making enough money and it was stable and guaranteed not to get jacked. Cube got more respect in every hood in America than anyone commenting or Alonzo too. real gangsta

    No one is saying it but groups like N.W.A perpetuated a big part of the "gangsta" lifestyle. While we were in the streets being subjected to the content of the songs these people made, these dudes came from good households- Eazy E, Ice Cube were just too dudes who had a successful mother and father- Ice Cube's parents are both teachers I think. My parents were not teachers; my parents were hood people, foodstamps, welfare, social security and workers compensation were some of the things I knew of coming up in the ghetto. We were living like this before N.W.A was famous and before their music had an effect on us.
    These dudes were rapping about other peoples live and not their own.
