- www.vladtv.com - Arabian Prince was the first member to leave NWA, and the California native admits that it all boiled down to him not getting fairly compensated and Ruthless allegedly doing bad business. The Compton-born emcee told VladTV that he could never get a straight answer about getting paid when he was first starting out with NWA, and he decided to part ways after becoming frustrated with the situation.
Arabian Prince also pointed out that the family dynamic of the group was broken down after Jerry Heller came into the picture, and he said that NWA was supposed to originally be owned by all the members equally. During the conversation Arabian Prince also pointed out more ways he was allegedly wronged by Ruthless, including someone at the label forging his name on documents to JJ Fad's "Supersonic," which he brought to the label. He added that it wasn't until he had difficulty cashing in off the royalties to Fergie's "Fergalicious," which sampled the 1988 hit, that he realized his name had been forged.
Check out more of what Arabian Prince had to say about his time at Ruthless in the above clip. - บันเทิง

The Arabian Prince was the first forgotten-original member to leave NWA in 1988 due to not getting paid properly. He was the sixth member of NWA. He was never mentioned in the Straight outta Compton biopic, which is a rotten shame. He does game animation now, but he is still a legend. Great music educational video.
TED ALIX to think he was “the other guy” on the “SOC” album cover.
He was shown in the studio in the movie and they mentioned him by name. The guy they left out of the movie was Donovan Smith who owned the studio, mixed their music, and taught Dr Dre how to engineer.
Robert Bacchetto foreal G they should of put The D.O.C also
Greg Hills thats the thing about making a 2 hour movie based on real events. You can only fit but so much of the original story in while trying to keep the pace on point.
Imagine nwa with the prince
no wonder this dude left first, he was the most intelligent one lmaoooo
battlecat for real! Vlad tried to get his caught up but he came right back because he knows his stuff! Hes no fool! #Salute
battlecat how tha fuck do u know that he's the most intelligent!!!???
HIPHOPTV fairly obvious !
Naw id go ice cubes the smartest or eazy e
battlecat Very intelligent as I said in my post here.
everything he said was completely believable. i didnt get the impression that he was lying at all
yeah.
agree 100%.
if she's not giving him his money then why is he not suing her etc
He never said he wasn't. If you noticed, sometimes Vlad had to ask him, after which he said he took shit to court.
Lootroq and did he get his money?
He does not look likes he's 50. He's aging well
+Jayson Cadeau black don't crack
+Jay K. chuuurch
+Jayson Cadeau He looks younger now then he did back in the day.
+Jayson Cadeau He probably dont drink alcohol, smoke, or fuck with carbs....probably also does cardio and lifts. and eats raw veggies..he's aging NORMALLY....but your average American at 50 is looking 65 because of their health habits......carbs ages you..eating mad bread, drinking artificial juices, sodas....shit secretly ages you.
+Jayson Cadeau black dnt crack
Jerry Lying Heller's version is that Arabian Prince just left for no reason. LOL like someone gonna leave a successful crew for no reason.
No one just doesn't leave without a reason. It is always a cause and an effect.
Success with no money. Ice Cube had that same problem. Talk to Jerry .
Easy fucked them all over, not just Jerry. It was easy and heller.
when Vlad asks "did anyone try to stop you?" when Prince Left...Heller was probably relieved he left, allowing him to rip them off without him around questioning the shadiness...
Heller was walking him out the door with a smile on his face, lol

FACTS!
I never met Eazy a day in my life and I knew his portrayal in that movie was BOGUS.
+Tea Won DId they? I still haven't peeped it yet but I hope it wasn't as obviously phony as some of the Notorious movie was.
+Jay K. not even close. Notorious was wack. straight outta compton was a good movie...just had a lot of stuff that wasn't accurate if you know the story.
Dre and cube were only concerned about making themselves look good
Lion King yeah they were. it's like both were in competition with who could make themselves look the best. Cube wanted to show that he was a business man but could be thuggie. Dre totally forgot his reckless and abusive days. So he gave us this...i just wanted to do music and take care of my fam vibe.
***** OH they made E look like a sucka. Considering his widow was a producer, im shocked she approved of the shit
Wow this man look 26 years he could have played himself in the movie

Wow Arabian brought Supersonic to Ruthless! And all this time I didnt know JJ Fad was signed to Ruthless....
+Brown Royal you didnt know that? i had the jj fad cassette tape when i was lil, it said ruthless records in the back

i bet it was that short one
jamal bryant i never had the cassette, i always wanted it, i think my friend who was always straight up west coast (im from the east) he might have had it, maybe i knew that then they were on ruthless but just forgot, but i remember them being on arsenio hall, i also remember michel'le being on his show as well
+E Leo Arabian Prince did the beat.
@@NevaEye Arabian Prince back with a style that's hype.... "Something to dance" to the last song on Straight Outta Compton
Straight out of Compton was a movie to make cube and Dre look good. That’s it
Both Ice cube & Dre some sellouts. Eazy E & Ren was my favorites & I only became an NWA fan because of Mc Ren back in 88
They are the most successful of the group so I don't see how? Especially since cube wasn't made to look good in the movie
@@hiiipoweriii2211 on what grounds? Not during that time of the movie taking place. You say they sold out but they prospered and did big things for music especially Dre. So you rather wouldn't have the chronic 2001? Eminem? Beats headphones? Friday? Or the countless other things they've done in life? What's Ren done since nwa? So stay with a Jew manipulator and get crumbs instead of the whole pie? Idk I'd say your very wrong tbh.

run ricky LoL
+run ricky bruh XD
Yo foreal, a lot niggas were getting raped back in the day and some still are. I remember Q Tip saying how he had a number one record at some point but was living at his momma's house with only like 5k in the bank.
+Lootroq It was 15k. I remember that shit. he said he got signed with 15k living in his moms basement. Nas had got 30k.
momoneyindabank4 He may have gotten signed for 15k, but at the time when he's at his mom's house reflecting on it, he only had 5k in the bank. That's if my memory serves me correctly.
This guy is very smart and intelligent, he had driver licenses from when he was 16 with his signatures to prove he didn't sign over his publishing? The music industry is very shady, he stayed ahead of the curve and he smelled a ratty recipe cooking, that's what woke Cube up, but he was first to bounce.
I love how detailed these interviews are. Makes you see the true picture beyond the film.
Eazy E's kids need to hire a great lawyer and take homegirl to court and get ownership of their Father's possessions.
They tried but spouse has first say when a person dies that’s why people need to keep their will up to date. I believe the next of kin thing goes in this order…- power of attorney,spouse, parents, children, grandchildren, other family members.
These older artists seem so intelligent like most artist back then, not like these new young buffoons we have now!
King Bailey so true a lot of these young rappers can't even form a sentence!! Ol pill poppin asses!!😄💊
King Bailey Eugenics, the food getting worse etc devolution of intellectualism
No seems....they literally are
They are
Alot of old artists were ripped off too. And alot of new artists are about they business. Stop fucking generalizing

The truth she sound dizzy.

Yeah what the hell is wrong with that bitches voice
in my opinion, arabian prince's story of nwa/ ruthless is the most interesting. if they wouldve included him in the movie, i bet the movie wouldve been soo much better than it already is.
They movie actually has a lot of people and stuff that happend left out
Movie would have been 3 to 4hrs long thy put the most important things in the movie
Anthony Ibarra I never was influenced by the media or word of mouth 👄 to ever watch the NWA movie... I probably won't watch it in any part of the future.
@@Aksionjacksion73 Actually, a lot of the "most important" things were fabricated to make Dre and Cube look good.
@@thelegacyofgaming2928 like what? I'm curious because I have been a fan since the first came out. I was a freshman in high school when Boyz in the hood came out.
10:14 - Don't you listen Vlad???? Arabian Prince clearly said that they forged his signature...clearly.
Exactly. He ain't us so he dont understand us.........

I like this interview, finally hearing what the 6th member of N.W.A. has to say & for the record, he did make a mark with the group & the 5 N.W.A. songs i actually do remember hearing on radio, were the classics panic zone, dope man (radio edit), something 2 dance 2, express yourself, always into something & 8.ball (radio edit) Always liked his stuff too
Meant 6
+Tank Franz Panic zone is the shit. And I copped Arabian Princes solo album Brother Arab w/ 'shes got a big posse'.
+Tank Franz He's on the damn STraight Outta Compton album cover, I don't know why people be forgetting about him.
Something 2 dance is boring as hell to me
@@MS-ti6fy you had to been close to some break dancers or hype dancers from the 80s to be into that song,, If you're not, it's not for you bro.
Baby D from J.J. Fad was that cutie back in the day.
arabian prince tells some interesting stuff, i have some of his albums, seems like a cool humble dude imo
Any “aspiring” hip hop artist needs to be taking notes from Arabian Prince. REALLY telling the shady side of the industry. Even worse when you’re not even mentioned on a biopic on the group you were a founding member of. It’s like having a Public Enemy movie & leaving Proffesor Griff out of it...
I knew his name sounded familiar, he produced jj fad second album. I remember reading his name on the back of the cd cover I had when I was 14 15 yrs old
If you listen to the something 2 dance to is an uptempo track and supersonic is a uptempo as well. If he had stay with nwa they would jad some uptempo Hits on the Charts too
Master P said the same thing about Eazy's portrayal in "Straight Outta Compton", and Eazy's daughter tweeted that the scene where Suge beats Eazy down never actually happened.
+Thulsa Doom exactly and them putting the Eazy getting beat down scene I feel they did that for entertainment
Thulsa Doom
Jamal Jewel easy got beat up and was for ed to sign the contract but later it was.determined that he was under duress and will get funds off of all Dre records. His daughter don't know what happen but even Jerry said it....Eazy wanted to kill him for it.
Tomika nor the daughter was there
These interviews are the gospel. Clears up so many loose ends the movie completely fabricated
Older folks always told pay attention to your sorroundings and read your the fine print and don't be anxious
Dude found the fountain of youth!
Like Doug e fresh and Lorenz Tate
I believe him. He sounds genuine.
Jerry was buying everyone Suzuki Samurais. LOL
Best part of the interview.
@Jav Mar haha too young!
@Jav Mar they were small Cheap Jeep’s that flipped over easily.
It made no sense to not even have Arabian Prince in the movie, given that he was part of the original 6 members, and was on the cover of Straight Outta Compton. Just at least have him as a throwaway character early on to help tell the story.
Arabian seems very sincere i this interview.
He got Left Straight Outta The Movie 🎥😭
Decade after decade, the music industry rips people off but yet people continually sign these contracts. WHY???? People like him, Prince, TLC, Etc. Etc. all warn people and yet Now it's gotten to the point where the labels get part of performances, brand and everything. if and artist stops making music, they are broke within a year!
This man got his money cause he used his head and asked questions, what you have to do in business. You never just believe everything people say you got to know your business
I don't understand. It's the same story again and again. Don't write or record shit until paperwork is straight.
Say it LOUDER 4 the people in the BACK
😂😂 That ain't gangster 😂😂😂 I'm over here dying laughing!!
I agree... I didn't even know Eric but as an enthusiast, I've heard enough consistency to say that he wasn't as emotional as they portrayed. Perhaps they did that so the audience could relate more... idk
+Passionate MC yous a beast man.
alot of people r sensative
Derek Dreitzler. passionate is better
I think Gimme Something 2 Dance To was produced by Arabian Prince. He’s also tight with Egyptian Lover too. Good guy for sure.
It's messed up how Hollywood doesn't care about giving us the True Story
I love hearing these stories!
This is the type of interview we wanna see!
I went to court on that and ahh I got paid...ha love that shit
Go read Hopsin's account of Tomica Wright. Ain't nothing sweet about that woman.
Kansas City Chief some people don't wanna hear that TRUE but give em a dose they'll shut the fuck up again
Wise word being quoted 💯
I agree with this interview. They made EAZY soft. The only real gangsta scene was in the hotel with EAZY with the gun. The only real gangstas were EAZY and REN. They all knew if anything was to go down EAZY was the man.
Ren was from kelly park but he never put anything for the hood
and that didn't work out too well did it.
I think nobody really questioned Eazy in the beginning because he already had money
he really looks beautiful
Jazzie Sotoslayer wtf
You look really beautiful 😍
He would get it 😭😭👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾
theJazzyShow bITCH Yes he's a good-looking man & he has a nice speaking voice too..😘

That was my 1st concert was at the Pomona fair when N.W.A performed then Cypress Hill and Lighter Shade of Brown and Frost together at the Pomona fair
hector munoz
Brought Arabian Prince cassette. He had Jerry Curls back then ..alot of dope tracks
He seems honest, yes. Why were there no percentage breakdowns for each person as opposed to some nebulous, imprecise, off-the-cuff way of distributing the funds? 'Trust' is a bad way to do business; everything s/b in writing, and set up by your legal representation to prevent this stuff. Artists have to defer to contracts, legality, etc . But your lawyer has to be straight with you, working only for you, and a smart cookie.
Wish he had spoke on his relationship with Russ Parr (Bobby Jimmy and the Critters). Peace.
Friends and money,coupled with the music scam business,can be one bad scene..
A.P put down some legendary music during the electro/early hip hop "boom" "boom" kept it hott...for the beat and bass vibe. Cant dismiss...west coast... contributions to what hip hop became. Arabian Prince was that ish point blank.
im glad i didnt find any interest in the straight outta compton movie a lot of fakes got paid
tell me about it. i saw it but i wasn't impressed. I'm glad the movie was a success but it was based on a lot of inaccuracies

***** baby boy u hit it right on the nail. that movie wasn't impressive. on some real ish i wanted that Boyz N Tha Hood vibe. Like u I wanted to feel like we went back to that era in a time machine. All I saw was a bunch bad wigs and they had the original music to go along with
***** yeah I saw that interview with Cthagod. He held back tho cause he didn't want the backlash. Even white dude on Hot 97 was like wtf, especially with that unnecessary Tupac cameo.I don't care how many songs Pac recorded, Hail Mary was out of place...lol
this guy sounds really legit and Honest as well as business savy.
He's surely on the NWA album cover and the NWA and the posse album I'm thinking to watch the movie again to see if he's on there cause if I'm not mistaken I think it's only Eazy, Dre ' cube,Ren and Yella on the album cover in the movie
I wanna hear more from this dude. Please, Vlad, make it happen.
I wonder how much the studio paid them to leave E and all them cats off the topic as much as possible the entire "podcast" this seems like the realest out of almost all and it's not even close to being paid attention to enough. Makes me think man if you a young dude from the streets all the sudden got a money faucet hooked up at your crib. everybody wants a glass of water. Too bad there was clearly enough money to have kept the original NWA intact. Because that means E lost his closest partners and boys...from one dude Jerry...so odd how after the movie came out he(Jerry) died suddenly. Crazy shit. Makes me wanna read his book just to see how far this shit goes!
any young people making music together need to see this before they move forward commercially together
I believe Him
Dre & Cube ALREADY Leave him out of everything "current" they've got going on= So he has No Reason to lie 🙏💯
I always wondered why he wasn’t
Mentioned in the movie. I remember some of the songs where they would mention Arabian Prince... remember give them something to dance to....
He's in Supersonic video scratching.
So nobody gon talk about the other member of NWA DJ Speed? He disappeared
That's Right!!! They 4 got about DJ Speed!!
That's Right!!! They 4 got about DJ Speed!!
I talked to him on Instagram a few times. Humble yet G as can be dude! He's very successful so he's straight can tell he's happy with his life.
And Egyptian lover
Shout goes out to Arabian Prince this guy so cool he would let me borrow his equipment when i had nothing!
They had Ice Cube pulling Arabian Prince part.... The same questions and all are seen in the movies.
Vlad you are the man for this one! This is gold right here. These interviews with Alonzo and Arabian Prince and Daz and Michel'e are priceless. But man stop teasing with these interviews. I need more
@07:43 I swear DJ Vlad sounds just like the police WTF
He thinks he knows more about the person he interviewing!😕👎so why interview if u think u know so much!😱
Damn thats crazy how eazy was allowing that to be done to his homies i dont respect that.
Arabian Prince down with the style that's hype, not the slow and low but the fast type.
DJ Vlad has the best interviews. This investigative journalism of the Ruthless / Death Row saga has provided such closure for me. Questions I've had for 2-3 decades are getting answered in each video that happens.
Eazy signed Kid Frost to Ruthless too.
He was supposed to be on Kid Frost's "Smile Now Die Later" album.
so 100 when he spoke on Eazy...they did make him look weak
Everybody in NWA are vampires. They don't sleep & they don't age. Eazy E look like he was 18 when he died. Ice cube look like he fresh out a time machine and noe this dude.
looking like they just woke him up from 1989 to come tell his part of what happened. lol NWA 4 life !!
BG Knocc Out is in his 40s looking like 25 too
Dre looks old as fuck
@@thelegacyofgaming2928 was gonna say!! For a 55 year old, he looks off. Face too leathery.
I didn't even know Arabian Prince was with NWA, I first heard him off Stones Throws Chrome Children Vol 2. Strange Life is a funky AF, great interview.
He said some one forged his signature signing over his publishing….. VLAD : I thought u just said u signed over ur publishing… pay attention i dude …
I learned a lot about the music business in just 15 minutes. lol
sometimes being a creative person can be messed up in that everybody else but the creative person gets paid. most artists, no, those artists who are lucky wake up to the fact that making art (music, fashion, visual, etc) is a business. what you make is your product. unfortunately most do not know that they are just happy to be singing, for instance, wearing the fancy fashion/designers duds and what not. especially, getting the girls.
but, like this dude, if you ask questions because you know what time it is you become the enemy and are shunned. soon as you start asking question those in the know are like, we have to get rid of him/her. others are just happy to be on stage or on the tour bus.
Vlad saying that Alonzo said that Eazy and Dre were 50/50 partners but in Alonzo's interview, right after that reference clip, Alonzo says that they were running Ruthless as a group but never put pen to paper. Leaving the deets out so we go watch other interviews lol
That flashback caught me off guard
Respect to Arabian Prince and the man is right on how Eazy was misrepresented in that bullshit ass movie.
Here's a guy who the world rarely ever mentions when referencing NWA. Cube gets all of the credit for being the 1st to raise objections. And yet, A.B., a producer/writer and founding member of the group in his own right was the guy yelling at the top of his lungs about the label's inequity & deception. Smart man here... I hope he receives every dime he's owed & then some for his troubles. God bless this brother. Peace and respect to all. Have an even better day today than your last.
So I’m ironing close for the next couple of days listening to this interview through Bluetooth not looking at the phone. I thought I mistakenly hit the fast forward button at the @2:50 mark. I had to stop and think:
I didn’t hit the fast forward button 🤦🏾♂️
I still have your original music on my playlist now. Egyptian Lover etc
Vlad really piecing this shit together
brother I hope one day you get credit you deserve that!!!
Hey Vlad, these old Ruthless/Death Row interviews are great. You are asking all the right questions.
Being a fan of ruthless records eazy and n.w.a. I remember Arabian prince being a solo artist and being with nwa i honestly never even know he was part of the "world most dangerous group" ..that being said I really feel for the man being as business minded as he is and still got g'd jewey heller..big respect A.P. for knowing what you were giving up and still walked away over principals with self worth and respect intact sometimes it can be worth way more than a royalty check
More loose ends tied together!
Alonzo said Arabian Prince was suppose to be an owner also, Vlad knew that. He just trying to start shit.
How is this gentleman looking like he's 30 years old talking about an album from about 30 years ago.
Ama Kinati Can you say “Vampire”? 🤷🏾♂️ 😂
he seems like a chill guy
