Straight Outta Compton, the smash hit N.W.A. biopic about the world’s most dangerous group has been praised by critics and rap fans alike.
One person, however, who isn’t entirely impressed is E.B. Wright, daughter of Eric “Eazy-E” Wright. She claims (and she’s not alone in saying this) that the film leans too far in the direction of portraying Ice Cube and Dr. Dre in a positive light, and skips out, whether intentionally or not, on other important parts of the group’s history.
A LOT of Eazy-E’s storyline was missing but that’s okay because I’m producing a documentary that will show EVERYTHING including his death

A lot of “Death Row” story in what was the “N.W.A.” story .. They don’t show that my dad went to court and still made money off of Death Row

After they show Suge beating up my dad (which didn’t happen.. He actually pulled a gun on him) they should’ve shown Real Muthafuckin G’s

The entire “No Vaseline” record was played but not ONE snippet of “Real Muthafuckin G’s”. You GOTTA show the get back of the MAIN MAN! #Eazy

She has a point. After the explosive breakup of N.W.A., “Real Muthaf**cking G’s” was one of the hardest hitting diss tracks in the back-and-forth between Eazy and his former homies. E.B. went to say that the movie didn’t touch on what happened to Ruthless Records after Eazy-E’s death, alleging that that Eazy’s wife Tomica ran the business into the ground.
Although E.B. doesn’t mention it, a lot of people also noticed that Dre’s brutal beating of Dee Barnes, a female rapper and television personality, in 1991 was completely absent from the film.
