- www.vladtv.com - Arabian Prince set the record straight about several things involving N.W.A., including their first record, the original members of the group, and more.
Speaking about the "N.W.A. and the Posse" album, Arabian Prince told us that the project is actually a "bootleg" that Macola Records' Don McMillan put together once they left the label. He pointed out that the album was never authorized, and Arabian Prince said that the original project just says "N.W.A." on the cover.
During the conversation Arabian Prince also spoke about the original members of N.W.A., which included Ice Cube, Eazy-E, Dr. Dre, and himself. The West Coast artist said that DJ Yella and MC Ren came into the situation later on, which he says can be proven by looking at the back cover of the first album that features the first four members.
Check out more of what Arabian Prince had to say above. - บันเทิง
They left Arabian Prince straight outta the movie.
+TheDopestEthiopian1 pretty much
+djvlad Is there a second interview that explains why he wasn't in the movie?
Yup & thats bullshit, they tried to change history.
+Tank Franz It wasn't a legit bio pic. They left out Arabian Prince, they made DJ Yella and Ren look like two extras. The film didn't show how abusive Dre was to women out of fear of public perception. The film didn't touch on what sparked Cube's political views.
+TheDopestEthiopian1 ...and Mi'chelle. Plus I wish they would've shown how important/influential D.O.C. was too.
My stupid ass thought he was an actual Arabian prince before clicking on the video 😩
TOONI BOI t.a.t.w Nigga(?)...I'm all to familiar with N.W.A. and their history. Just because you saw their "biographical" movie doesn't mean shit. Concern yourself with the Drake/Meek Mill "beef", lame.
Jai Courvoisier *too
TOONI BOI t.a.t.w Lol. I bet you're a Soulja Boy fan, huh?
+Jai Courvoisier you a joke Lol I can tell you one of the bitch ass square dudes
+Century hustle lol
The most underrated member of the group, and even in their first album.
He was on the last song rapping, Something 2 Dance 2.
N.W.A and The Posse was a bootleg!!!???? Man, the stories you can uncover by talking to the cats that were there. Amazing!
+Corey Cavalier Very true bruh... For every MJ... you can and will always find the folks who... knew the real deal.I can tell you, as well as others (who were there) that 8MILE was ONLY about as real as, the names of the characters (the story was theatrical and everybody on the inside who, heard Em's "first record" really knew that, it was a crew record and that it was being used to introduce the "Great White Hope" to Hip Hop... most of the dudes in D12 didn't even like him but there weren't/aren't Label A&R's runnin' round the "D")... but I digress.Funny thing about that Bootleg was that, I cop'd mine on vinyl, at a store that allowed me to do returns (I was DJin)... Ironically, I didn't like that record for 2 reasons... A. I was in the middle of "Real Gangsters" and wasn't tryin' to hear what, I was tryin' to get away from (didn't need a soundtrack for deaths/murders/nDope)B. As Prince stated, "Don threw a bunch of other..." (that album had too many things goin on and no cohesion).Stay UP.
Chuck Turnher I just listened to N.W.A and the Posse and heard all of that other Techno and Electro stuff on there and was like, "wtf, really?" It really does sound out of place on the record.
Corey Cavalier You never lied... That's why I took the record back (dubbed a few songs 1st though)... Now I do get what they were sayin' about the fast up-tempo stuff (I like lemons, peanut butter and pickles but they don't go together)... That up-tempo/dance sound was big with the whole Florida/Cali Latino Freestyle period (84 - 89) and is great for the clubs but not for rollin around a bunch of dudes... Oh well... If it got them on; I can't be mad at'um.
Stay Up Corey.
Man that is crazy !! 😮
@@Breakbeats92.5 that's because half nwa was world class wrecking crew
Wow. I've never heard of him until now. He was never even mentioned in the movie. That's f**ked up.
He said in the same interview he thinks the reason he was left out was because Eazy Es wife Tomica was a co producer on the film and after Eazys death he had to sue ruthless records because Tomica stopped giving him royalties for co producing co writing and rapping on the straight outta Compton album
Arabian Prince is the one most ppl can't identify on 'Straight Outta Compton' album cover !!!
@@ferdiahunt9899 I see why MC Ren dissed her on Snoop Dogg song Set It Off when he said “Get some shit and fuck it off, like Tomica Wright”
I feel privileged to have grown up on this. Still have the NWA and the Posse record. Always wondered what Arabian Prince got up to.
You don't know rap then. Haha. I once had a guy get mad at me in 2010 thinking I'm lying about Arabian prince being in NWA.
Don't know why they made straight outta compton as a movie. I believe it would did way better and would be able to cover 25x more ground it they made straight outta compton as a TV Series.
+SolomonTDS i was thinking that the other day but thing is with a tv series will they age well
+Shaun B the real one I'm sure it would from before nwa to after death row. I thinks it would have great success to do well. I'm thinking like higher seasons than the wire or some shit like that
+BayAreaDubs94 Netflix isn't shit. HBO or Showtime fosho
+P6ix 6ix2 wtf? that would be intergrated into straight outta compton in the TV series
Making a movie was a good move. It generates the most money upfront plus they can build interest for a future TV series. A series could be a little more specific with the details of the whole story and also build the careers up for each of the actors.
Arabian Prince is going to be a great interview. No once has mentioned him, yet he was all in the early days of NWA.
Now all we need is Ren and I think it will be pretty complete.
+ATK working on Ren
+djvlad ren alledgly fallen out with Eazy at some point.Also eazys last songh recorded was with Ren( tha muthaphukkin real) and eazy spoke of death can you be sure to ask ren of those two things.
+djvlad how about The DOC?
+Mark Whippy And DJ Quik
+djvlad What about Cube??
"pharmaceutical technician"
+Riley Escobar I laughed my ass off lol.
lool
{ Ace-Kid97 } In a few seconds..
+{ Ace-Kid97 } Around 1:55
+{ Ace-Kid97 } Damn is your ADD that bad?
I'm telling you Vlad about to make his own N.W.A documentary..
+T Smith I know right.
Check out Lenon Honor. He's got a in depth NWA documentary coming this year
Rare Grime Beats who
called?
I actually liked the element that Arab brought to the group when they came out. The fast stuff was still poppin back then and it brought diversity to the group and their albums.
We used to bump Panic Zone, Something to Dance to etc. right along with the rest of the tracks. As a DJ I saw that those songs did very well at parties back then. I continued to follow Arab after he left the group. I'm glad the truth was able to come out.
Damn Prince done aged well
This was why the biopic was a bit of a disappointment. Arabian Prince was not mentioned. The movie focused only on Eazy, Dre, and Icecube
+Vaiola Tauti no u dumbfuck arabian prince was the development and part of it
No one wants to see that electro shit. NWA are trying to wipe that shameful involvement from their history. It's only right to leave Arabian prince out
Shameful? What's there to be ashamed of? That's a part of LA rap history.
+Orlando Molina well when you're a established gangsta thug rapper you gotta dead that lipstick spandex g string image that people may not know you had before
u dumb fuck, that was dre and yella, that was the wreckn' cru, that was before N.W.A
i could listen to this guy for hours, let him tell all the cool stuff...
MultiMrMiles i actually meet him
really? Very cool, i bet he has some ish to tell.
Yea i met him while playing basketball. I did not know who he was until i saw the hip-hop evolution film on Netflix
awesome, this guy was at the forefront with west coast hiphop, seems like a real humble guy too.
MultiMrMiles same
This is the vlad interview I been waiting for!
+Tank Franz Exactly!
But yet he doesn't get to the point, which is at what point weren't you in the group anymore.
I still got his 1st Album!
I did NOT know that NWA & The Posse was a Bootleg. I never saw an original one
I remember this cat... "you better be packing homeboy, she's gotta big posse" Lol. that song was straight
That "Gangsta Gangsta on the top of my list" line was added to the later remix version of Boyz N The Hood made strictly for the Straight Outta Compton album cause the original one featured on the EP was different. It didn't have most of the first verse from the Straight Outta Compton version.
Vlad talking to him like tryna catch him in a lie
Soo dope to see Arabian Prince interviewed! props on this one Vlad
*"Eazy was a neighborhood pharmaceutical technician at the time"*
🤣 🤣 🤣 Classic
1994
"Eazy E was a Neighbourhood Pharmaceutical Technician"
lol
Zymeer Boulden *Boyz-N-The-Hood
@Zymeer Boulden lmao that's not how it's called. 🤣🤣🤣
This guy and Alonzo should get together and do a prequel to straight out of comptom, so the real story can be told. Alonzo could be the central figure because he knew everyone. The Hughes Brother should contact these guys and start production while the buzy is hot.
Dre would hire killers to take em out if talks of a prequel like that was in works
'Lonzo already wrote a book, so they just need to get together and make it happen. Michel'le will handling the personal stories about Dre. Arabian prince will tell the NWA story and Lonzo will handle the early Dre and Easy.
Can't wait until you post this full interview.
N.W.A & The Posse
Cube Easy Dre Arabian
then , Ren yella got involved.
the original four members
Andre , O'Shea , Eric , Arabian Prince .
Ren & Yella was part of the group but not yet
I'm from miami born and raised and this dude is a legend period. We all had to have NWA first album when it hit the streets even though I was like 9
Gangsta Gangsta was not recorded before Boyz n the Hood, smh... Let me give all you new fans a history lesson;
Boyz n the Hood was the first song recorded that started the whole NWA movement. The version most people know where Eazy says "it was Gangsta Gangsta at the top of the list" is from the remix on the Eazy-Duz-It album from 88. The original version from 86 starts off with "Cruisin down the street in my 64". They added the extra part at the beginning of the song to the remix in 88 and by then Gangsta Gangsta was already made.
finally another one who pointed it out and not only me
True you are correct. Nwa also had a bootleg mixtape sold at swapmeets in the LA area before Eazy duz it and straight outta compton with 8 ball, dope man and boyz n tha hood on it. Only LA natives know this.😉
@@lykedady72 NWA & the posse. I own that & Efil4zaggin on vinyl. I'm from Richmond, CA. NWA gave a lot of Yay Area rappers they game. 💪🏾
LMAO... They done dug up Arabian Prince... SMH!!!
+sam sneed what happened to you?
+emdeethelegend smh at you lyao ...
I want to see someone play the drums in the background one day.
Heh, he still looks young...and can't wait for the rest of the interview, glad vlad is getting all the other background guys from NWA to tell their side of things! Hope you reached out to JJ FAD as well...
"Then I played my old shit it went something like this"
Wasn't that the Boyz N Tha Hood remix on Eazy 1st album?
+Sebastian Greyjoy yeah boyz n tha hood is 1st track
+Sebastian Greyjoy Yea,Vlad just slow asf
Exactly. I bet the original was recorded before gangsta gangsta
I have the original NWA album on wax. It's been water damaged though, but it's still the original.
Shout out to you, Vlad. You have such incredible interviewees.. Long may your endeavours prosper.
great interview
@ 4:50
I am pretty certain about this:
That version of Boyz N tha hood came out later. The original Boyz N tha hood didnt mention anything about Gangsta Gangsta.
hell yea! vlad got the dopest interviews. been binge watchin every one of ur nwa/deathrow interviews
+ART2 glad you like them.. more coming
mindblown at the initial NWA album. Ive never in my life seen that, only had the 'and the posse' version like everyone else
This guy is a rap legend but hardly anyone even knows who he is.
Glad Arabian Prince is now being recognized, by the way, this journalist needs to check his facts, along with many hip hop journalist. The track Gangsta Gangsta does not appear on the 1st N.W.A. E.P., the tracks that do appear are Panic Zone & two versions each of 8. Ball & Dope Man, a radio version & a street version. The track, Gangsta Gangsta appeared on the next E.P. Which was credited to all 6 members of N.W.A., Arabian Prince brought the fun the N.W.A. Party.
When eazy rapt “it was gangsta gangsta at the top of my list” that was the remix... boys n the hood was recorded before gangsta gangsta.... he even says after that “ and then I played my old shit it went something like this.... cruisin down... “etc
He ain't Arabian Prince without the Jheri curl!
Still waiting on that MC Ren interview Vlad!
Thanks for delivering Vlad!
Solid interview
Good interview!
Been waiting for this
"It was me, Dre and Eazy"
"So it was Arabian Prince, Dre, Yella"
smh vlad
That album NWA and the Posse was the only album on the shelf at the time I also had that album
There was a lot left out. One of biggest being that MC Ren talked about reuniting the group without Eazy since he talked to him in two years and stated the only connecting they really had by then was Ruthless records. Also, during those two years, Ren had made plans to leave as well due to his dislike for E and realization that he was better off without him.
big respect for doing this interview -- i'm glad he gets this exposure after the dicks left him out of the movie. in any case, there are enough people who do know the band's history, no amount of revisionist spin doctoring will change that.
yo vlad !! i like these interviews (80´s shit) more plz
Remember having the Macola Records version of NWA And The Posse on cassette . Peiority Records reissued it with the A Bitch Iz A Bitch track on it . Had that on cassette as well . Have it on cd . Not a bad little compilation album . Used to bump Panic Zone on a regular . It's a dope track .
Just a recap on the topic what was the 1st NWA Single Song? Under Marcola Rec
Panic Zone & DopeMan. Then came Boyz In the Hood, so Brother Arab was the 1st single starter...Boya Boya at least from the 1st 12" Maxi Single that is VLAD TV!
And Mr.Nezal can get it too!!! Don't care if he's 50 years....YOUNG!!! He looks great.I always play out his tune - "Never Caught Slippin'", one of his best!
Cube, Dre and Eazy had one big ass paralleling storyline. Yella got most of the one-liners and Ren hardly exist. But that 2Pac scene is unbelievable.
Vlad let's get Ren on here. He hasn't been getting the credit he deserves. He wrote basically wrote more than a third of Eazy's first album, more than a third of straight out of Compton, wrote just but all of 100 miles of runnin, and 50-60% of ******4life! He was just as important as Dre when Ice Cube left.
and j.j. fad was the first ruthless records release
Hate that Arabian Prince got shafted from the film. Dude was a founding member, made some hits back in the day too, is on the over of SOC, and left because the money wasn't making sense before Cube really did. He was the 6th member of the group and the movie basically erases him from their history. I mean he's not doing, bad. He doesn't really need the exposure because he is doing good for himself by still making music on Stones Throw Records. But it just sucks he was part of one of the most important rap groups in history who just had a successful biopic and he's nowhere to be found in it. I feel for the dude even if it doesn't bother him that much.
Wasn't DOC in the Fila Fresh Crew though?
+victornewman06 yeah
+victornewman06 Yep, sure was
+chd757 lol I think it was Doctor Tray
I thought it was just Doc-T
+T Smith it was Doc-T lol
Dude does not look like 55!! Way to go man
Triple OG right here.
glad i got Arabian prince on tape.its a dope thang
Full interview please!
Wow this is so crazy! I would’ve never knows Arabian Prince was in NWA. The movie did him bogus. Wow.
Ur young lol 😆 u never seen the real records he was on the album cover lol
"It was Gangsta Gangsta at the top of the list..." That line was on Boyz N Tha Hood (remix). Not the original cut. Dope man and 8ball were the original NWA records, I think Gangsta Gangsta came a little later..
Need more of this vlad
Great interview, but Arabian & the interviewer did make a mistake about the track listing on the original N.W.A. E.P., the track Gangsta Gangsta was not featured on the original N.W.A. E.P., The N.W.A. original E.P. Featured the tracks Panic Zone & two versions each of Dope Man & 8. Ball, a radio version & a street version, but other then that, great interview.
+Tank Franz Right and also the pic they showed with the 4 members of NWA was not the pic he was talking about. They showed the pic with Yella, he was talking about the pic in the jeep with him in it. But overall good interview, how da hell did you find him. Hope there is a part 2.
How you gone correct this nigga that was actually there????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
+chris zanotti Drake Type of nigga
+Breanna Ward because he is trying to remember things from 30 YEARS ago so he may get some things wrong. smh
@Tank Franz, my thoughts exactly. Not a big deal, but worth noting. Dope Man was the main song on that EP. And btw, other peeps, even Wikipedia has it wrong. The site has "...and the Posse" as the original name.
Please add more of thiz interview.
Cool interview #ruthlessmemories to get deeper into this subject.
They need to Do a NWA part 2..explain more shit
How Arabian prince more fine now at his big age versus when he was younger? Crazy
LMAO damn, Vlad went back to the 80's to find this dude.
I never thought about just adding "Pharmaceutical Technician" to my resumé.
Now ya gotta get Stan the Guitar man for an interview
+Pentazoid111 I actually know Stan
+djvlad his done some big records outside of rap.
+djvlad or g-man stan.... legendary producer.
Crazy that it was a bootleg because that definitely reached NYC record stores. I think I might've seen it in Tower Records. Never bought it because I wasn't really into their music.
NWA and the Posse was a bomb ass tape!!!
NWA and the Posse the original one from 1987 had a song by Rappinstine called "Scream" that they replaced with "A Bitch Iz a Bitch" when they rereleased it in 89. I wonder why they only replaced that song.
Vlad a legend getting all these interviews
+Corn Bread Jones thanks
+djvlad why didn't he stay?
Diggin for vinyl at the Roadium Swapmeet @ Steve Yanos R.I.P spot
Wanna hear the rest about why he left NWA. I see Vlad posted about trying to get Ren for interview. Thats the one I really wanna hear. Bet hes got some good stories about Eazy. Yo Vlad, props on doing these interviews relating to NWA and Ruthless from back in the day. U should get BG Knoccout, Dresta, & Kokane if u can too.
I'm ready for that BG Knocc Out interview. I think a lot about to get cleared up with bro.
+Lakers 16 What would BG Knocc Out clear up? He wasn't around when NWA was together. He came in 93.
+urbanflavorz He would clear up a lot of the shit that happened at the end of the movie.
This guy is going to tie a lot of loose ends together.
+Rashad White Exactly!
+Rashad White True but... The D.O.C appears to be the one who... knew EVERYTHING... I didn't realize that he was one of the original writers and had been around for, as long as he was (with the group).
Chuck Turnher
I agree that D.O.C is definitely the missing link as well...but the reason i don't look forward to an interview with him is because you know there is no way he is going to really talk and reveal everything...so why bother. Another interview with someone who knows full well how to "steer clear" (like Yella) of the real info, isn't really going to contribute anything new to the story.
+Chuck Turnher Yes everyone wants to go with Ice Cube wrote everything. Truth be told Ren and DOC wrote most of all of Eazy duz it album while cube was in college. They all split writing for Eazy and Dre parts and made their best album EFIL4ZAGGIN without Cube.
allloveable ehhh... Pretty much... and... you are right.
There just needs to be a documentary for better understanding
What I wonder is for such a capable rapper who was known to rap well and write well just like Ren and Cube, why is he only on one actual song? I know he helped produce but Dre even rapped way more than he did and Prince was a full member.
I remember Arabian Prince. Another guy forgotten about from the NWA era is C.P.O.
N.W.A vinyl EP is really hard to find. You mainly see the "posse" album lol.
that album is a bootleg and yet i loved that album and still do
That’s hilarious he referred to EazyE as the “neighborhood pharmaceutical technician” 😂
Great clip i never knew the first album became a bootleg.
If you take care of yourself and you'll preserve a youthful look.
I wonder why they completely left him out of the movie as if he isn't a part of the history or never mattered to even mention, seems real fucked up.
I feel the same way I was thinking that the whole time or watching straight outta Compton that was really f***** up how could they leave that brother who was a core founding member of the band out of the movie that's just a total disrespect to the man and to the band itself for not mentioning that part of the history I'll do that feeling I can't say when are they going to talk about Arabian Prince when are they going to bring up the Arabian Prince not once was he mentioned in that whole film I'm so pissed off about that till this day bumbaclots!!!!! 🤔💚💛❤️🤢
on twitter bg knocc out said he got a vlad tv interview coming up soon
+Terry L yup
Waiting for that one for real
+djvlad dope dope dope. that real brothas album is a classic!!!!
Hell Yea!!
What about
Rap-enstine
he was on the original Nwa and the posse I want to know if he is still calling him self that
You know what I like about these older rappers and hip hop stars? You can understand what the hell they're saying....... they can string together words and sentences without sounding braindead.
No no no, the line "Gangsta, Gangsta at the top of the list" was a NEW set of versus added to the beginning of the older version of Boyz in the hood. (the newer version otherwise known as the Remix version). That is why Eazy said in the next sentence, "Then I played my old shit, and it went something like this". That is a reference to the older version of Boyz in the Hood that was on the Posse album from 1987. (or whatever you want to call it). So that means that Vlad and Arabian Prince are both wrong. - The reason why I say this is because "Gangsta, Gangsta" came out as a single BEFORE the album Eazy-duz-it, even though the Eazy-duz-it album came out before the Straight out of Compton album. However, there's a problem.......Wikipedia show that the Straight out of Compton album came out before the Eazy-duz-it album, but I feel that several years ago, the dates were different on Wikipedia. It was somewhat always known that the Eazy-duz-it album came first. (regardless of the release dates of the singles). But now as you google all of this, history has been changed yet again, because of the internet. - Also keep in mind that on "We want Eazy", someone calls in and asks when their "12 inch record is coming out". The caller was asking about the Straight out of Compton album, since at that time, only a couple of singles had been released. (some will argue that the 12 inch record spoken of was the re-release of the Posse album in 1989, but I personally reject that idea).
Gangsta Gangsta single came out on the EP were NWA album cover they are all in the newsstand all sitting down. This was before the NWA full album
Props on the interview but Vlad is getting his facts consfused as usual. The "Gangsta Gangsta at the top of the list" lyrics is from the prelude to Boyz N da Hood from the Eazy Duz it album not on the original Straight Outta Compton album. So it wasn't showing that Gangsta Gangsta came out first, he was saying both songs were old.
Even though he didn't get the fame and fortune as the others its a good thing. He looks about 15 years younger than the rest of NWA. Beleive me, if he stayed in the group he would have had about 10 baby mothers (like Dre and Eazy), Stressed out, weed, etc, he would be looking old as dirt.
Ask Ren why didn't he go to Eazy's funeral and about the statutory rape case he caught back in the NWA days.
Omg am I crazy or what? I remember back in 93 everybody was talking about that rape case. I bring it up today and it seems everybody has forgotten about it lol
Right it actually happened doing NWA days i want to say 89 or 90. But there was no internet or big media for rap so alot of that got swept under the rug. And its not something you can google or wikipedia so must of these people like Vlad can't search for it. You just had to be up on rap doing the time.
+urbanflavorz yeah a show in Alabama on a tour bus with a 16 year is what I know. The settlement was declined by NWA or something and Ren actually got the girl pregnant who had his baby I beilieve. It was crazy because on niggaz4life you have Ren rapping about sex with a minor (turns out he did) and then you have dre rapping about smacking a woman on one song (turns out he did). I can see the albums content being justified as just being entertainment but when you have the back stories to these guys it just feels abit too real listening to it sometimes lol. BTW, I think MC Ren's rape case was being treated as actual rape rather than statortory rape , if I'm not mistaken the age of consent in Alabama is 16 anyway. The girls name was shiela Davis
+Rare Grime Beats naw the thing was she never filed criminal charges. it was all for the money. so she got paid. Heller said she was lying but never understood why they paid her then.
Yo he got Arabian Prince!!!? Okay now we talking!!
Finally!!
Vlad always starts off with I remember back in the day lol
the boys in the hood that mentions gangsta gangsta was the remix on soc the original boys in the hood didn't have that line.
Now this is history
I didn't say it would 8 hours long if they added 1 more character. I said if they included every thing they left out such as Eazy & Dre beef, Ice cube Boyz in the Hood, world class wreckin crew, Michelle', etc
