I'm too lazy to think about the social issues behind it. The first half has been shaking my legs, but it's still fun to watch. After the infighting in the second half, I feel it's too long and boring.

Making your own biopic is too easy to beautify the facts. For example, Dr. Dre will never write about abandoning his children and hitting reporters. At the same time, Cube will not describe the embarrassment of being laughed at by the rap world and not recognized by Hollywood in his later years and only making bad movies. Eazy-E will not talk about how many women scold him for deliberately infecting HIV. It is better to treat it as a fiction.

Jerry Heller: You just gotta slow down, you can't bang every broad on the planet.
Eazy-E: What, getting pussy is a problem now?
Jerry Heller: Well, look it's gonna be a problem if you've got 10,000 kids. Right? You make some money, you have all these kids, you gotta go and take care of em. It's fine... I'll help you take care of em. Hey, Cube.
Ice Cube: Sorry to interrupt y'all lobster brunch... but what's up E, where the contracts at man? You forgot about me?
Eazy-E: I'm not trying to answer this... you know what? Jerry, can you deal with this?
Ice Cube: I'm not talking to Jerry, I'm talking to you.
Eazy-E: That's Jerry's job!
Jerry Heller: You know what, that is my department, you're completely right to ask about that Cube. The contracts are being finished as we speak. The thing is, with the contracts these lawyers go through them. Pouring over it, they'll bleed us dry, but it'll get done. I wish I got paid the way they do, you know?
Ice Cube: Hmm, me too. I just wanna know what's going on since I did write a lot of the songs on this album.
Jerry Heller: Everybody knows how important you are, Cube
Ice Cube: They do?
Eazy-E: That's what's goin on.
Jerry Heller: We just need some time.
Ice Cube: Everything probably alright. I must be trippin.
[takes a sip of their champagne]
Ice Cube: Shit tastes pretty good. Maybe someday, right? Y'all enjoy your meal.
[leaves]
Jerry Heller: [chuckles] I'm tellin ya, that guy wants to be you, very freakin' badly.
Eazy-E: As if I ain't got enough fuckin' problems.
[to waiter]
Eazy-E: Excuse me, can I get another round?

Jerry Heller: [Eazy is at Jerry's pool after getting jumped by Suge and his crew, Jerry holds a gun up to his head, then retracts it upon noticing Eazy] Oh, Jesus Eric, you scared me. You okay?
Eazy-E: I gotta kill this motherfucker Suge Knight. I just wanted to come over and tell you first cause, shit might get a lil' thick.
Jerry Heller: No, no I'm not gonna let you do that.
Eazy-E: I didn't come over here to ask for your permission, I came to let you know! You wanna come and get involved in this gangster shit, well, here we go.
Jerry Heller: No Eric, you're not in Compton anymore. Just in case ya haven't looked around, drop that shit, okay? We don't hit back with guns, we hit back with lawyers, that's what gets em'.
Eazy-E: You think I got a fuckin choice?
[points]
Eazy-E: Look at my face!
[Eazy's nose was bloodied]
Eazy-E: It ain't about the money, Jerry! I don't care about that, this is bigger than all of that...
Jerry Heller: No that's ridiculous, and you should fuckin' care about the money. You're so much smarter than these fuckin' thugs... if you kill this man, his problems will be over, and yours will just be beginning.
Eazy-E: Why do I gotta be the bigger man?
Jerry Heller: Because it's better than you being a dead man. I don't want you fuckin' dead.
