MC Ren Blasts N.W.A "Straight Outta Compton" Movie Promotion MC Ren Blasts N.W.A "Straight Outta Compton" Movie Promotion“Fuck these bitches at universal pictures leaving me out the movie trailers tryin to rewrite history,” MC Ren writes on Twitter.MC Ren made a series of social media posts today (June 10) regarding the promotion ofStraight Outta Compton, the forthcoming film on N.W.A that is due in theaters August 14. "Man fuck these bitches at universal pictures leaving me out the movie trailers tryin to rewrite history," MC Ren writes on Twitter. MC Ren, who with Eazy-E, Ice Cube, Dr. Dre and DJ Yella was a member of N.W.A, is not depicted in the trailers. The trailers focus on Eazy-E, Dr. Dre, and Ice Cube. The trailers also feature Ruthless Records executive and N.W.A manger Jerry Heller, but do not focus on either MC Ren or DJ Yella. DJ Yella produced N.W.A’s material with Dr. Dre. MC Ren was one of N.W.A’s main rappers and has been name-dropped in songs by several rappers, including OutKast on “Aquemini.”He also wrote some of Eazy-E’s lyrics. "When you have bitches work on a hip hop film that don't know shit about hip hop this is what happens. How the hell u leave me out after all,” MC Ren writes, "The work I put into them records. It's disrespectful to me, my family and most of all my FANS.” MC Ren’s posts are as follows, as are photos of the vinyl of N.W.A's Straight Outta Comptonand Eazy-E's Eazy-Duz-It albums, which highlight MC Ren's writing credits as a member of N.W.A and for Eazy-E:     |

Who ... But seriously, people are going to see this film because of names like Dre, Cube and Eazy not because of MC Ren. PRINCE: Always and Forever

Straight to DVD would have been a more suitable title for this film. | |

You can take a black guy to Nashville from right out of the cotton fields with bib overalls, and they will call him R&B. You can take a white guy in a pin-stripe suit who’s never seen a cotton field, and they will call him country. ~ O. B. McClinton | |

It's true though, Ren contributed just as much as anyone to that group. Remember, Cube bounced after the first record.

Have to note how much he wrote on Eazy-Duz-It, even though it was Eazy-E's album. |

Point taken, but who's careers exploded after NWA folded? | |

Isn't it always like that? Even for the movie about The Runaways, there were way more intimate story lines about the more famous people. [Edited 6/12/15 7:38am] |

Yeah really. Lorna Doom has about 3 lines in the Germs movie, she's treated like a silent partner. Or ask Al Jardine how he feels about his portrayal in EVERY Beach Boys documentary or biopic.
I'm sure it's not personal, it's just that the Wilson Bros and Mike Love are such outsize characters, so loved and so hated respectively, and most of the band drama centered around them. | |

In the case of NWA, I would argue that the big story is the departure of members (Ice Cube, then Dr. Dre) anyway. |
