Did you initially want to put out your album on Ruthless? You’ve had a fascinating career . Tell me how you first got involved in the rap Well, me and him [Eaw] was doing something together, but that just faded away. industry. What happened to au the tracks you guys did? Actually, me and Dre was DJs in a club in L.A, So that’s really how it started and They’re still sitting around with noi words on them. I still got one song that he fin­ that’s how we met too.

We’d always do tracks, And NWA was the next step? but he’d never write to them. Yeah, a few years later. How did you all hook up? - Dre already knew Eazy and Ren because they was from his side of town. Me and Dre was trying to find a way to get out of the Wrecking Crew, so we just waited around and waited around until we justfigured it out and it all came together. We all started at one time. What was your role in NWA? Well, I was a producer. All me and Dre was were pro­ ducers, from the Wrecking Crew on up. Me and him pro­ duced everything. I've noticed that on most o f the production credits it lists both your name and Ore’s. How exactly did you share that responsibility? It was always me and him, that's how we worked. We worked like a team all the time. It was nobody’s job to do this and nobody’s job to do that. It just happened really. Where did you find yourself when NWA first began experiencing trouble? I was in the middle, because I wasn’t jumping on this side or that side. I stayed in the middle and stayed neutral and that’s why nobody could really say anything about me. I didn’t talk to nobody. It was just a bunch of mess. Nobody was cheated. The prob­ Are you still a DJ? lem was NWA making too much money, that’s what the real problem was. I haven’t deejayed in years. I haven’t deejayed since the NWA tour in 1989. Actually, How was that a problem? the “DJ” was just a name. I didn’t really deejay. Back in the old days, yeah, but not no When there’s too much money, there's always somebody on the outside telling more. somebody on the inside, “You should be getting more.” There was just a lot of money. i It’s really rem arkable to notice the artists who originated in NWA.

I just finished NWA’s Greatest Hits on Priority. [See review below]. They called me Yeah. I think of him every day. Every day and every night. It’s just hard to realize and to do it. I’m the only one left to do it. think that it really happened. It was just like losing a brother.

I selected the songs, I found all kinds of interviews that people won’t forget him. He changed the whole era of rap music. NWA changed the were never out and stuff. I found a live show that was never heard before. It sounds whole face of West Coast music. If it wasn’t for NWA, there wouldn’t probablybe a lot good. I did it the way I did Eazy’s album, I made it just flow through from beginning to of this. And if it wasn’t for Eazy having the money to start NWA, there wouldn’t be a lot end. more. He helped a lot of people. Can you think of any last words? , Looking at the long and impressive list of rappers you’ve worked with over your Just don’t foiget him.

Another foreign offering, The Promise, comes to Santa Barbara for the first time July 25. The German film spans the history of the Berlin Wall from its construction to its demolition and presents the story of a pair of lovers separated by the wall, managing only four encounters over 28 years. The Coen Brothers’ latest film, F arg o, will be screened July 28.
